ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
Chapter Six
Rose came out of the bathroom
after getting ready for the formal night on the ship. Adrienne and Autumn were
doing their hair and makeup in front of the huge mirror in their room. She wore
a strapless, bright pink dress with a huge skirt that was floor-length and made
it look like it was for prom, and her hair was up in a bun with a few strands
left out. Autumn had on a strapless, light orange dress that was floor-length
and had her hair down. Adrienne had on a spaghetti-strap, pale blue dress that
was also floor-length and had her hair half up in a ponytail. They walked out
to meet the guys. They knocked on their door, and when they finally came out,
they were all wearing suits. Jack couldn’t take his eyes off Rose.
"Care to escort your lady to
dinner?" Rose asked Jack.
"Certainly," responded
Jack, putting his arm out. They walked to dinner together, followed by Autumn,
Tommy, Adrienne, and Fabrizio. They met Ruth and William at the door to the
Paris dining room to sit at their usual table.
"Mom, Dad," Rose
started to say, and then paused for a second before continuing. "Can I
please sit next to Jack? And can everyone else sit where they want?"
"Okay. Fine. Just
behave."
"We will be good,"
Autumn assured them. They sat down and ate their food, then got ready to leave
the dining room.
Two Hours Later
"I don’t know about you
guys, but the night has just started for me. I am going to my room to change
into something else, and I am going dancing," said Rose.
"Fine with me," said
Tommy. The others agreed and left the dining room with Rose’s parents approval
to get ready to go dancing. They got ready and came out to meet each other to
head over to the dance club.
"Come on, Jack. I don’t have
all day," said Rose, grabbing his hand because he was walking too slowly
for her liking. Autumn, Adrienne, Tommy, and Fabrizio were way ahead of them.
"Sorry," he mumbled
back.
Finally, they got to the dance
club and started dancing. They all got drunk, because they believed Jack when
he said he was twenty-one.
"I guess you look older,
huh?" asked Rose teasingly.
"I guess I do."
"Um...Jack, that is not
something to be proud of," joked Autumn.
"It is when we can get
drinks," Tommy pointed out.
"That’s true," said
Autumn as she, Rose, and Adrienne got up and started dancing on the top of the
bar to the song Lose My Breath.
"Come on, Jack! Get up here
with me!" said Rose, grabbing his hand and pulling him up on the bar.
"Come on! Don’t you want to dance with your girlfriend?"
"Of course," said Jack,
seeing Adrienne and Autumn getting Tommy and Fabrizio up on the bar with them,
too. They were all up there for awhile. They finally got down because the
bartender was sick of people up on the top of the bar. While they were dancing
on the bar, Rose’s parents passed the dance club, saw them through the window,
and thought it was some crazy kids until they saw a girl with red hair dancing
with a guy with blond hair. They knew that it was Jack and Rose, and they saw
their friends up there, too.
"What kind of parents would
let their kids be on top of a bar like that?" asked Ruth, looking through
the window of the dance club.
"I don’t know, but...doesn’t
that look kind of like Rose?" asked William, trying to get a better look
through the window.
"That can’t be
possible...she wouldn’t do that!"
"Ruth...nobody has hair that
red besides Rose."
"My God...you’re right...and
that’s Jack with her, and their friends are there, too!"
"We have to go in and stop
them," said William, taking Ruth’s hand, heading towards the entrance to
the dance club, and starting to walk in before they were stopped by a security
guard.
"I am sorry, but this club
is full. It‘s about a thirty minute wait to get in," said the guard.
"Fine," said Ruth. She
left with William behind her. Rose and her friends never noticed her parents
there, and left at about two AM to go back to their rooms. They went out on
their room decks, which were separated by a railing, so they could talk to each
other outside. They were still drunk, so they decided to scream out and see how
many people they could wake up.
"Let’s scream outside on our
decks and see who wakes up," said Tommy.
"Okay," said everyone
else.
"Hey, people, wake up! We
are all on the Titanic, and the ship is sinking! Wake up!" screamed Jack.
Everyone else was screaming stuff for about ten minutes before someone in the
room next to the girls’ room woke up and came outside.
"What are you kids
doing?" asked the man.
"Nothing. Go back to
sleep," said Rose, sounding totally drunk.
"Fine, but I’d better not
wake up again, you bitch," said the man.
"Hey! Don’t ever call my
girlfriend names again, you bastard! Now, leave us alone!" said Jack.
"Just shut up and don’t let
me wake up again, you stupid kids!" yelled the man, opening his door and
left.
"Well, don’t we have nice
neighbors?" muttered Adrienne sarcastically.
"I guess we’d better get to
bed before we get in trouble. He might call security or something," said
Fabrizio, going to give Adrienne a kiss and tell her good night.
"Yeah. Good night,
Rose," said Jack.
"Good night, Jack," she
said, right before she grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him passionately.
The kiss ended when Fabri coughed.
"Oh, whatever. You just
kissed Adrienne, like, thirty seconds ago," said Rose.
"It didn’t last for ten
years," Adrienne pointed out. Jack and Rose rolled their eyes.
"Tommy...why didn’t you kiss
me?" asked Autumn sadly, and everyone besides Tommy snickered.
"Okay, people. I am leaving
so I don’t have to see this horrid love scene," said Rose. Everyone left
for the same reason. "Good night, Jack."
"Good night, Rose."
The girls walked into their room
and decided to order a movie, since they couldn’t fall asleep. They ordered Titanic.
"You know, the Rose in the
movie kind of looks like you, Rose," said Adrienne.
"Yeah, and the guy Jack
looks like Jack," said Autumn.
"I guess a little bit, but
their clothes looks nothing like ours, and this is not 1912," Rose
responded.
"Yeah. I guess," said
Autumn.
"Anyway, change in
subject," said Adrienne. "I can’t wait to see the Bahamas
tomorrow."
"Me, either!" said Rose
in excitement.
"I know!" squealed
Autumn happily.
"Shut up. This is my
favorite part of the movie," said Rose as they all turned their attention
to the TV.
"I’m through being
polite, Goddammit! Now, take me down!"
"I love that part,"
said Rose, laughing with Autumn and Adrienne.
"Yeah. That’s funny,"
said Adrienne. They watched the movie for about thirty minutes, when the phone
rang.
"Hello?" asked Rose.
"Hello, Rose. I need to talk
to you," said her mother.
"Mom! What is it?"
"I saw you and Jack and your
friends dancing on top of the bar tonight. I want you to know that I think that
type of dancing is inappropriate, not to mention that you guys were dancing on
top of a bar to that kind of music! I don’t want to see you behaving like that
again. Do you understand, Rose?"
"Mom! We are seventeen,
dammit! What do you expect us to do? Do you expect us to do the waltz or
something?"
"Rose, I just don’t want you
to dance on top of a bar like that!"
"Fine, Mom. I won’t dance on
top of a bar again, but I will dance how I want."
"Okay."
"Bye, Mom."
"Bye, Rose."
"What was that all
about?" asked Adrienne, looking at Rose in confusion.
"My mom said not to dance on
top of bars anymore."
"Damn. She has to ruin all
the fun," replied Autumn in disappointment.
"I know. She is always like
that," grumbled Rose as she leaned back on her pillow to watch the last
twenty minutes of the movie. By then it was five AM. When the movie ended, they
turned off the TV and fell asleep until eight in the morning, when Fabrizio
called them and Adrienne answered the phone.
"Hello?" she said,
still waking up. She was still pretty tired from last night.
"Adrienne, we are in the
Bahamas. Look out your window," replied Fabri. When she looked out the
window, the fantastic sight certainly woke her up.
"Oh, my God! Fabri, it’s so
beautiful!" exclaimed Adrienne.
"Yeah. Wake up everyone else
so we can go out there."
"Wait. Let us sleep for
about two more hours. It’s only eight o’clock. We were watching Titanic
last night until five. We will call you in a few hours and we can leave."
"Okay. Love you,
Adrienne."
"Love you, too, Fabri.
Bye."
"Bye."
They hung up, and Fabri woke up
Jack and Tommy.
"Jack! Tommy! Wake up!"
shouted Fabrizio right in their ears.
"What? Why has the ship
stopped?" asked Tommy in confusion. Jack looked outside and gasped.
"Holy shit. Look at
that!" gasped Jack.
"No shit! That looks
awesome!" agreed Tommy.
"See? It was worth waking
up. The girls were up until five watching Titanic, or so Adrienne said,
so they will call us in a couple of hours when they have woken up,"
Fabrizio told them.
"No surprise. Rose loves
that movie," said Jack.
"Yeah. So does Autumn,"
said Tommy.
"Let’s go get something to
eat," suggested Fabrizio, walking out the door since he was already ready.
"I have to go like
this?" asked Tommy, looking down at his t-shirt and boxer shorts.
"No, I’m just kidding. Get
ready fast before I leave, though," joked Fabrizio, sitting back down on
the couch in their room and turning on the TV while he waited for Jack and
Tommy to get ready. Five minutes later, they were heading out of their room to
go get breakfast.
"Okay, I know we’re in the
Bahamas, but why are we up this early if the girls aren’t banging on our door?
I mean, why should we be up this early if they aren’t making us wake up?"
asked Jack on their way back from the café that they had eaten breakfast at.
"I don’t know, but when we
get back to our room, I’m going back to sleep," Tommy confirmed.
"Me, too," said Jack
and Fabrizio. They walked backed to their room, lay down in their beds, and
slept in their clothes.
Two Hours Later
Rose woke up, rubbed her eyes, and
noticed that the ship had stopped moving, so she got up to look out the window.
"Adrienne! Autumn!" she
yelled. "Wake up!" Adrienne and Autumn sat up in their beds, looking
at Rose with confused looks on their faces.
"What in the..." asked
Autumn, walking to the window and gasping. "Holy shit! That’s so
beautiful!"
"I know. We are in
the..." started Rose, but Adrienne and Autumn screamed with her. "The
Bahamas!"
"Okay. I am gonna get ready,
and then we will call the guys and go outside," said Rose.
"Okay," agreed Autumn.
They all got their swimsuits on, put shorts and tank tops over them, put their
beach stuff in their beach bags, and grabbed them and their purses. The guys
called, and Autumn answered the phone.
"Hello?" said Autumn.
"Hi. It’s Fabri."
"Oh, hey, Fabri. We’re in
the Bahamas, so get ready and come outside so we can go to the beach."
"Okay. See ya."
"Bye."
Then the girls walked out of
their room and went to wait outside the guys’ room. It was about five minutes
before the guys came out of their room. They took the elevator to the bottom of
the ship to disembark and go out to the beach.
