Summary: AU this is my first try at this one. So at the moment I’ve been writing about a case study for my course; this makes me feel like I’m still doing uni work

The afternoon and most of the night was spent discussing their plans; they even decided to not go for food. They were worried that the family would stop by and ask them what they were doing; obviously their imaginations were working overload.

***

Scotty focuses completely on his work; cut, slice, cop, nothing but food and different ingredients. Exactly the right amount of ingredients goes into each meal; nothing less and nothing more.

A well oiled machine knowing exactly what to do; without actually knowing but feeling what has to be done.

He hasn’t said a word since entering the kitchen and though his work is perfect; people have noticed that something is wrong with Scotty.

John knows that is must be related to Kevin but he hasn’t had the time to talk to Scotty yet and probable won’t have the time. At least his work hasn’t been affected.

The food has all been done for the evening except for the dessert of the day.

It was at this point that a waiter walked in with two plates of the evening meal untouched and looked annoyed.

“They demand that the extra meals are served and then the couple don’t bother turning and then I get blamed for serving the meal” the waiter states wondering if the two untouched meals would be taken out of his pay check.

“Who would ask for extra meals if they didn’t want it?” John asked slightly annoyed at the meals that have gone to waste.

“They said they were expecting more people to join them; that the couple must have been late due to their engagement this morning” the waiter continued.

It was at this point that Scotty started to pay attention and all he could image was Kevin there smiling at him wife Emily standing next to him and showing of her ring on her left hand.



“Which family was this again?” John asked; point to the Saloon room, asking the waiter to point out the family.

The waiter hesitated and then pointed to the large group that was obviously a family. Ah, John started to nod, the Walkers and William in particular are quite well known. This might have been the first time he had them on one of his ships but whatever they want they get.

“It’s okay” John nodded and then signalled them to get back to work. He could tell that Scotty was distracted now; he didn’t have the same flow of movement that he had moments ago.

Scotty just could stop the image of Kevin and him from appearing in his mind; it was as if Kevin was whispering in his ear.



He’d have to keep a watchful eye on Scotty to make sure that he was okay.

At a few moments Scotty shook himself at of the daze that he was in and went back to his normal flow.

***

After the no shows of Kevin and Emily and the family quickly dispersed after finishing their last bit of their meal.

Each person was in a hurry to leave the Saloon; everyone could tell the Justin had been drinking before the meal, saw him drink through the meal and they all knew that he would continue to drink until he knocked himself into a slumber. All of them wondering what it was that happened to get him into this drink race with no finish line in site.

Justin went to bed with the thoughts of what Kevin and Emily were doing all day.

He was angry at Kevin for not actually loving Emily and marrying her anyway.

He was angrier at himself though; for not telling Kevin to not marry Emily and for not telling Emily how much he loved her.

That was the last thought he had as he drank the last drop out of the whisky bottle before falling backwards onto his bed; past out.

13th April 1912

Justin woke up to banging; this was unusual with the amount his drinks on an average day.

It actually took him a couple minutes to realize that the banging wasn’t coming from his head but some smacking pretty hard on his door.

He somehow managed to get of the bed, though it took longer for him to stand, and even longer to walk over to the door.

He sharply opened and the door and then stood in shock at the people banging on his door.

***

Kevin and Emily decided to an early morning; they didn’t want this engagement to last any longer than necessary.

Their first stop of the day was Justin; first he had to agree to the plan and the engagement or there would be no point in telling anyone.

They walk casually over to his room and Emily knocked gently on his door; when there was no answer after a short time Emily became concerned.

“Kevin” Emily said worriedly “why is he not answering?”

Though neither of them had said anything they were both thinking the same thing; was Justin in the dead.

It was at this point that Emily started to slam and beat the door with everything she could; without wondering if she was waking up anyone else.

After a couple of minutes the door swung open and a shocked Justin looked on at them.

He looked like he had been awake all night; drunk and ill and the only way to describe his appearance.



“What are you doing here?” Justin asked.
