*\Chapter 4/*

*****

Thomas' P.O.V

Then next day after washing myself up the best I could I put on my only pair of clothes and go up to the deck to enjoy the breeze. Once I got up there I saw the woman I had just humbly saved yesterday, she beckoned me to walk over to her.

So I walk over  then we started walking together and the first thing I say is, "I didn't catch your name."

"Jamie Madison, but I much prefer you call me James, I'd like to feel comfortable around my hero."

I chuckled, "I'm no hero."

He giggled, "So modest. I'd loved to learn more about you."

"Well when I was 15 my parents died and I had no people related to me in the country I was in at the time, so one day I decided to leave home and I've been on the move."

James nodded then we started talking about the weather and how nice it is but I can't help but feel our conversation dances around a topic that he would like to talk about.

"Well James I feel we haven't talked about the reason why you wanted to talk to me in the first place."

"I just want to thank you, not only for pulling me back but your, discretion and concern for me."

He shifted his beautiful black eyes to the deck floor then back at me, "You are welcome." I say to him as he looks at me.

"I know what your thinking, he's rich, he has a rich fiancee, what does he know about misery?"

I shook my head, "Inside we are all human James, underneath all of that we are all the same. The main question at hand is what could've happened to this boy to make him feel like there was no other way out."

".....It was everything, it was my life, the people in it, this is just so hard for me." He said shaking his head and looking out into the ocean. He then turned back around

"And I am unable to stop it." James said, showing me his engagement ring.

"Woah...Look at that thing...you would've gone straight to the bottom."

He then sighed sadly, "500 invitations have gone out...and all of Philadelphia's society will be there."

I step closer to him.

"And all the while I feel like I'm silently screaming in the middle of a crowded you but no one can't hear me." I saw that he was getting worked up...

"Do you love him?" 

"Pardon?"

"Do you love him."

James wouldn't respond..

I waited then he said, "That is absurd. This is not a suitable conversation."

"It's just a question."

"That question is rude and I am taking my leave."

"Okay..bye."

"Wait a minute! I don't have to leave this is my side of the ship! You leave."

"Well well well look who's being rude now." I chuckled.

He let out a little chuckle and an eye roll.

"What is this you are carrying around?" He asked taking my sketch book. He opened it then asked, "What are you an artist or something?" His eyes then widened, "These are actually pretty good.....they're very good actually."

"Well thank you." I said sitting down next to him, my hair bounced a little as I sat and I watched his face become a bit red, then he looked away. It was adorable.
