Chapter four

Don't play music yet!

Rye's P.O.V

Boat Mod

We were still on the boat. Everyone was still asleep though. It's around 5:00am in the morning.
I looked out along the edge of the sea.
There was a lot of fog. But I could see at least 15 feet from where the boat was. I went boating a lot with my father though, and I know it will clear up later.
"Hey." I almost jumped.
I looked over my shoulder.
"Hi Sky." I said. She dipped her head and walked over to me.

Play music

She looked at the ground. I nodded to giver her access. She leaned over and looked into the fog. It was silent for a moment then she said,
"It's foggy."
       I nodded,"It'll clear."
"How do you know?" She asked not looking at me. Man, she's really pretty. But she's like Blue. They keep their feelings to themselves. Hiding in a shell.
        Like a slug, when you get close they go in and all you can do is poke them and hope they'll come out.
"I use to boat with my father." I said looking back up. Squinting my eyes to see a bit farther.
         "I can't see a thing." She commented.
"Hmm. Well I could teach you later, what do you say?" I asked, pleading she'd say yes.
"I'm not much of a boater, Rye." She said. Sighing I looked at her. She looked back,"what?"
           "Why not?" I asked. As I talked to her I looked where we were going, then to her.
"Never came into an interest." She said. Maybe if I'm more like her...?
"Me either. But I don't like letting my dad down." I said.
She looked at me.
          "Stop talking about fathers... please?" She asked.
I thought for a moment.
"Ever garden with you mother?" I asked. She looked away.
"I wasn't aloud to go outside." She said. She looked at the fog.
"Oh." I turned to the fog trying to make it un awkward.
          "She's dead now." I heard her say.
Way to go making it awkward.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
"Do you like me?"
"As a..."
"Yes."
"No." She said.
"Oh." I said. I just made it more awkward!
          "Why?" She asked.

School mod

"I.. Heard some rumors." I said.
She looked at me,"Oh. They know about Blue and I?"
I nodded,"Everyone feels so bad."
She looked away,"I don't want to be known for that reason. Not pity. For admiration or something."
         "Most people know me because of what I wear." I said,"they think it's bad. I say that it's comfortable."
      She giggled. "Well, it's true." She looked at her apparel,"Mine is a bit torn up."
I looked at the rips in her shirt. I looked at my hands. My black gloves. I slid them off.
          "Here." I said handing them to her,"It's not much." She took them surprised.
"Are you sure? They're yours." She asked.
I nodded,"Please." I was about to give her my over shirt when Blue came up.
     "Early risers much?" He asked.
"Hey there's some water on this boat. I brush of the teeth would be nice!" She said, dramatically waving her head information of her nose.
         "Oh I should probably too." I said.
"Here I'll take it, I'll tell you if I see anything." She said.
"Keep going straight." I said letting go of the wheel. She quickly grabbed it and nodded.
I made my way downstairs with Blue. He opened his bag and grabbed a red disposable tooth brush.
"You got anymore?" I asked him. He looked up at me then went to grab another.
           Pulling it out he handed me a blue one.
"Thanks." I said trying not to blow my bad breath at him.
I went into the bathroom on the bait first.
"How do they have running water?" I asked.
         Blue shrugged,"I dunno. Hurry up."
"Sorry." I turned on the faucet, and let the tooth brush soak in it for a few seconds. I placed the toothbrush in my mouth. Suds bubbled. Hey didn't taste good though. I started moving it around and brushed.
Spitting I moved for Blue. He did the same.
"Are you sure you know where it is?" He said spitting.
"Yes." I said.
"Okay." He threw his brush away and we went upstairs to the top deck.
"I'll take it from here M'lady." I said bowing to Sky.
         She smiled and move out of the way.
I took the wheel and realized the fog cleared.
"I-" I stopped myself when I turned around. Sky and Blue were hugging, I won't ruin there moment. They've been threw a lot.
      Jackson came up. He stopped in the middle of walking when he saw them.
He stood straight up and watched.
The two pulled away. When they realized we were watching they pulled apart farther. I turned back around to make sure I wasn't looking like a creeper.
          I squinted. In the distance I saw land.
Land! Land!
"BRIGHT PORT!" I said happily,"IT'S BRIGHT PORT!"
As we neared I saw it wasn't bright port at all!
"Who is that?" I muttered.
"I dunno." I jumped.
"I was talking to myself Jackson." I said punching him jokingly.
           He laughed," aren't you suppose to know where we're going?"
"It's been a while." I said nodding.
"You'll get us there... right...?" He asked.
"Safe and sound." I said. Glancing at him he looked at me.
I smiled and he did too. He looked at his hands then back up.
I'll get them there. As soon as I can.
