Trudy lay down on the bed and started to cry. "Will I ever find someone to love me and love only me?" she wailed.
Bray stared at Amber which such pain and hurt in his eyes. Then he stood up. "I need some air." He said but Amber held on to him.
"Can we please talk about this?" she asked
"There's nothing to talk about" he said "You're getting married and there's nothing I can do about it. You've obviously moved on and now it's time for me." He waked out of the room with Baby Bray in his arms.
"No!" she cried as she flung herself on to the bed, weeping loudly. Then there was a knock on the door. "Who's there?" she answered wiping her tears.
"It's me, Jay." He called
Amber wiped away all of her tears then she took a deep breath and opened the door. Jay walked in and Amber closed the door after him. Amber sat down then she ushered for him to do the same.
"I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now." she said. Jay would not meet her eyes. Amber moved her head trying to force him to look her in the eyes. "Jay lease look at me."
"Where's your precious Bray?" he asked
"Jay please don't say that. Bray is very special to me yes but so are you."
"But don't you still love him?" he asked but Amber wouldn't answer "I take that as a yes. I guess the weddings off then."
"Jay please. I just need some time." She said straining to keep her tears at bay. "I never expected this. I thought he was dead I made my peace with it. I moved on and now he's here, alive and well and I'm getting married to someone else. How do you think I feel right now? Do you know how hard it was for me to tell him that I was marrying you? The hurt in his eyes? The worst part of it is that his is not the first time I've done something like this. And he's done it too but I never knew that I would be this hurt. I never knew his pain until now. He thought I died, he moved on and so did I. But then to see me alive and well with another man, caused him so much pain. And here I go and do it again but this time I've hurt him so much more."
Jay was very silent following this. He didn't know what to say. She was right of course. He could only scarcely imagine the pain Bray must be going through. There was also Ved to consider. He had to find a way to get his memory back. His brother should be his top priority. Worrying about this would only make him suffer more.
"Can you please just give me some time?" she asked and Jay nodded.
Jay left the room and headed for the front of the boat. Ebony, Slade, May, Jack and the Trader were in deep conversation.
"Do you know of any places we can go? We won't survive long on this boat. Our supplies will eventually run out." Said Ebony to the Trader
"Well there is this one place but they are not very fond of strangers. I was lucky to leave the last time I was there." Said the Trader
"What sort of place is it?" Jay asked
"It's an island. Not very big but it used to be a resort. It's beautiful and remote so you can see why they don't want strangers knowing about it. It's very hard to find, this Island. And so far I am the only one to ever return from the island."
"How did you manage that?" Slade asked peculiarly
"I am a Trader so I was able to persuade them into trading a few things for my safe passage from the island." Said the Trader "You see, the only reason I ended up there was because of a storm. The place is surrounded by thick fog and currents. Without their help I would have never have got out of there alive."
"Well that's a no to going there then," said Jack and he looked at Jay who didn't seem too fazed by the story. "You aren't suggesting that we go there are you?"
"Why not," said Ebony
"Why not?" Jack repeated incredulously "Were you listening to the story?"
"Yes I was listening." Said Ebony "and this people obviously have a great spot or else they wouldn't be so secretive about it. Can you imagine living on a resort? Their food supply must be massive." May and the other nodded in agreement.
"Yes but what about the fact that we don't know how to get there, the place is surrounded by fog and currents that could rip the boat in to pieces. We might as well be heading for the Bermuda Triangle." Said Jack
"Well Jack I never took you for the scared type," said Ebony "You can take on technos, the Chosen and Loco's but you're afraid of a few currents and some fog."
"Hey, this isn't people we're talking about," said Jack "This is nature and nature is unpredictable and dangerous." They were silent following this.
"Jack's right," said Jay "we'd be risking everyone's lives if we even attempted it. There must be somewhere else we can go. Did you pass any other islands on the way back?"
"The one we just left," said the Trader "and we have already taken all of their supplies and equipment."
"Then why don't w just go back there?" May asked
"We need a place that has other inhabitants. That island had no one else on it but the technos. We wouldn't survive very long out there on our own." said Jay "I think we should tell this others and decided this as a group."
"Jay's right," said Slade "We can't decide this on our own."
So a meeting was called on the top deck and this meeting would decide the fate of everyone on board. The decision made will put the Mall Rats to the test and Trudy through a whirl wind.
