Chapter 1
The light seeped into the bedroom quietly as Cati Dawson lay fast asleep in her bed. Her room was normal for that of a sixteen year old girl. Head over Heels bags strewn across the floor with clothes pouring out of them, pictures of her and her friends tacked precariously everywhere on the wall, and a garbage can overflowing with the junk food she had collected just the night before. The only thing abnormal about the bedroom was a clear lockbox right next to her bed on her mahogany night stand. The lockbox had a large white lock on the front that obviously at the moment was locked up tight, the key was a white metal key, very small, connected to a chain and wrapped around Cati's necklace. Inside the clear box on a stand was a unique, one of a kind necklace with a card beneath it reading To My Heart of the Ocean. The necklace was unlike any other for it was indeed the heart of the ocean. The dark blue diamond ecrusted with white diamonds was a sight to behold and shocked anyone who entered the young girls room, for who would suspect that the legendary necklace would end up in a box in a sixteen year old girls room, only the daughter of Rose Dawson, formerly known as Rose Dewitt-Bukater. For Jack Dawson's name lives on as the blonde beauty on the bed stirs and opesn her eyes, revealing piercing blue ones that only one other person had, her father.
Rose Calvert flipped on the switch near her bed blinding the room with bright light. It was her oldest daugthers first day of her junior year in high school, she had to be awake. It'd been sixteen years since that fateful, horrific night, Rose needed assurance that Jack was watching their daughter enter what was near to her adulthood, she needed him by her side. Kissing her husband Christopher, Chris, Calvert on the cheek she slipped out of bed and down the hall towards Cati's room. The light was on and one band or another was playing as the rest of the house would soon know if it got any louder. Knocking softly Rose entered the room to find her daughter writing in a small book she'd had since she was a young child. The front cover had a photo of her father that she had recieved as a young child from his home town. It was taken the day before he disappeared from Chippewa Falls. "Cati honey?" She walked over to her daughter and sat next to her on her bed. "Are you alright?" She asked anxiously, Cati was never this quiet, ever. Cati looked at her mother, tears brimming in her bright blue eyes.
"Mom..it's not fair!" She said, the tears choking in her throat.
"What's not fair sweetie?" She asked, pushing a strand of her daughters blonde hair behind her ear and putting her arm around her.
"Why can't he be here? Why'd he have to die on that stupid ship? Why?" She begged, throwing the journal at the wall. This wasn't how she wanted to feel her first day of school but at the moment she woke up and turned over to see that necklace all she had on her mind was how badly she wanted her father there just to tell her it was going to be a good day, to tell her he loved her. Chris was great, but she wanted, she needed her daddy so bad at that moment it was unbearable. "Mom, I can't stand it!" She stated as she stood up shakily and opened her closet door, only to allow more clothes to spill from it. With tears falling down her cheeks Cati picked up a black tank top, a pink belt, ripped jeans, and some heels and threw them onto her bed before she began the search for her make up bag and hair essentials.
"Honey, it's okay he is here, he's watching you in spirit. He's always been there, he loves you so much even if you can't see it." Rose assured her daughter, but from the way things were being tossed around the room she could tell her words were far from comforting. "Sweetie it's going to be okay, I promise." She said, placing a kiss on her daughter's forhead and leaving the room to wake up her other five children while her oldest child sobbed to herself in her bedroom with nothing a but a strange sense that something was hovering or watching her.
