Julie looked back. The young man reached one of the lifeboats and began to talk to an officier who stood nearby. Then he went to the other side of the boat and prepared it to lower it. He removed the awning and took some paddles out of the boat. The officier helped him to fix them. Then he went down the ship, towards some passengers who watched fearfully what happened. "Women and children first", he shouted. At first, many women looked as though they didn't want to leave Titanic, the safest ship on earth, yet. But one man, a small, thin guy with mousebrown hair, pushed his woman forwards softly. "Come on, Julia", he said quietly. "Take the children with you. We'll see each other again soon." Julia nodded with tears in her eyes. She took several steps forward and told her children, a boy who was about five years old, and her little daughter to come with her. They sat down at the front of the boat. The few people looked very lonely in the big boat. Maybe it was the expression in the little girl's eyes, maybe it was something else, but suddenly other women said goodbye to their husbands and joined the family in the lifeboat. This went on until about forty people were sitting there, then the officier said: "Okay, lower down! Slowly... be careful..." The ground of the boat touched the water. There was a loud splash and some children screamed. Their mothers hugged them, whispering consoling words into their ears. They had to get away quickly. Soon the next boat was lowered. And the next one.
Julie and Henry stood on deck, directly near the lifeboats. The boat-deck was crowded with hysteric men and women who all wanted to get a seat. Most of them were first and second class passengers. Julie wondered where the others were. "Maybe the third class passengers didn't believe Titanic is indeed going to sink", she said to herself. But somehow she was sure that was wrong.
A girl, maybe a few years younger than herself, arrived on deck. She had the hand of a girl that looked as though it just had lerned to go in her hand. The little looked a little surpirsed. She didn't seem to undersatnd what was going on. Henry watched them jealously. He'd have given much to be the girl now. He needed someone to take his hand and to show him what to do and where to go. Julie looked at him critically. Sometimes Henry really felt as though she could read his thoughts like an open book. He looked to the waiting people to avoid her eyes. Some of them were really hysteric and were trying to get into the boats as quick as possible, others looked a little undecided. Maybe it was a joke? But on this slanting, slowly lowering ship it didn't seem so.
Julie watched the door of the lounge. Sometimes people came out of that room, onto the boat-deck. They were trembling in the sudden cold. Small children were crying, others just didn't notice what was going on. They pressed the hands of their mothers and looked very tired and confused.

I know how it will end and everything, but it's quite difficult to write ... Well I'll try my best LoL
