When Rose saw the small lifeboat coming back for her, the tears began to run down her cheeks. She couldn't bear to let go of Jack's hand. She was holding on to all she could not bear to lose. As she looked down into the face of the man she loved, all his earlier words flooded back into her mind.
"Promise me you'll die an old woman warm in her bed Rose", Jack had said to her.
Rose had promised Jack and this promise is what motivated her to let go of his hand and flip off of the door. She blew the whistle and the lifeboat came to get her.
As the cold water hit him Jack was suddenly jolted awake. He must have been in a deep sleep. With all his strength he kicked his way back to the surface of the water in time to see Rose's lifeboat fade into the distance. Jack would have yelled for them to come back if he would have had the power in his voice. He slowly used the rest of his strength to pull himself up onto the wooden door that Rose had been on. He laid there and let the silence engulf him.
Two Days Later…….
Jack opened his eyes and noticed that the remainder of the bodies that had not had lifejackets on had sank over night. As his ears adjusted to the sounds of the ocean, he could have sworn he heard the sound of a boat. Turning his head slightly to the left he saw a coast guard ship coming at him. He looks at the whistle he had taken off of the one dead guy that had been beside him in the water after Rose left. He put it to his lips and started blowing it with all his might. The ship pulled up beside him and lowered down a man to get him. He was pulled up onto the ship and covered in blankets.
"What's your name, young man", the captain said as he walked up to Jack.
Jack looks at the man and is just happy to be alive.
When Rose finally docked in New York, she was determined to make herself a good life without the help of her family. She was going to do this for both her and Jack. She started walking around town, looking in the windows and listening to the paper boy yelling about the Titanic disaster. Rose still couldn't believe that it had happened.
She had no money to hail a taxi or for food for that matter. So when she saw the pawn shop, she was grateful. She walked inside and up to the man behind the counter.
"What can I do for you, miss", the man said.
Rose pulled out the sapphire and diamond necklace that Cal had given her and that Jack had drawn her in. She laid it on the counter.
"How much will that get me", Rose replied.
The man stared at her in disbelief, while taking the necklace in his hands.
"My god,"he whispered,"Where did you get this?"
"It was a present",Rose said
"This should be in a museum, it's worth over a couple million dollars", he replied.
"Just give me the money, and you can do whatever you want with the necklace," Rose said, she was in a hurry to get out of here and start her new life.
The man quickly got the money together out of the safe behind the counter and gave it to Rose. Rose smiled a Thanks and walked out of the shop and continued down the street.
