Chapter 1! Hi! I've been planning this story for a while now and I'm so glad I'm finally writing it. Dedicated to Titanic4life! I really hope you enjoy it! This is written in Jack's P.O.V
Titanic 11912:
The last thing I remember was being dragged onto the lifeboat. Now I've woken up in an unfamiliar environment. I take in my soundings and I was in some sort of hospital bed. Closed curtains blocked my view but I didn't mind the privacy. Just then the curtain pulled back as a nurse came through. "I see your looking much better now sir" She said.
"Yes I am thank you. Where am I?" I asked.
"Your on a different ship. The Carpathia" She moved closer to check on me. "I was worried about you not waking up"
"Waking up?"
"Yes you have been asleep for the last two days Sir"
"Oh well thank you Miss" I smile. "I'm Jack Dawson" I say offering a handshake.
"I'm Rose DeWitt Bukater" She smiled back taking my hand. "I'll be back with some food and drink for you okay?"
"Okay" I reply sit up getting comfortable. As I waited for Rose to come back I couldn't help but think what happened to everyone else I knew. Just then Rose came back with some hot food and a hot drink. "Thank you nurse"
"Your welcome and please call me Rose. I prefer it" She smiled placing the tray onto my lap.
"Sure but call me Jack"
"It's a deal"
As I finished my food and drink I went back to sleep.
...
The next day I woke up and Rose came to see how I was doing. I told her I was feeling much better but I need to get out and get some fresh air. Rose helped me out of bed and as I couldn't walk by myself Rose offered to walk the boat deck with me. As we walked together I couldn't get over the fact that this had happened. "It's awful isn't it?" I say.
"Yes it is. It must have been horrific for you and everyone else. If I was in that situation I don't know how I would of have copped."
"It's not easy. I remember being trapped behind a gate. I demanded for them to open it but the crew refused so with some help two other men and myself grabbed a bench and we smashed the gate down"
"Oh my god. That must of have been terrible"
"It was" Just then a voice I know was calling my name I stopped walking and I look behind me. Behind me stood little Cora with tears running down her cheeks. "Oh Cora" I picked her up and she told me that her family died on the Titanic.
"I don't know what to do now uncle Jack"
"You can stay with me until I find you a family because as much as I would love to keep you I can't. I'm living on the streets and I don't want that for you"
"Thank you uncle Jack but I want to stay with you I don't want to go into adoption"
My heart broke into millions of pieces. I wiped her tears away and told her to look at me. "Cora please do it for me. I want you to be safe as possible"
"Jack wait why don't you and cora stay with me for a while"
"That's so nice of you to offer Rose but-" Rose cut me off.
"-But Jack you and Cora have lost everything and I can't bear it. Please take up my offer."
I start to smile "Thank you so much Rose" I look back at Cora she was smiling. I knew she wanted to stay with me before we go our separate ways.
