I've decided to come up with a new story. The first two chapters will be about Rose and Jack's survival. After that I'll switch over to '5 years later'. I hope you will enjoy this story!

Rose's survival - April 15th

Rose lay on the boat which had came for her. The boat which had picked her out of the ice cold water, leaving her Jack behind. He was gone. He would be gone forever and there was nothing she could do about it. She replayed the moments she had had with him over and over in her head. Finally there had been someone in her life who loved her for who she was. Not for what she had. She knew from the moment he had talked her back over the rail that she could trust him. After they had shared their first kiss on the bow of the ship, she knew for sure Jack was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. He had drawn her naked in cabin and after that they had made love in the backseat of the Renault. She was so glad she had saved her virginity for him.

When they had been in the water she knew for sure that she would die that night, but then Jack had made her make that stupid promise. A promise to go on and have lots of babies. To die as an old lady warm in her bed. She wanted so badly to spend her life with Jack, but she knew that wasn't possible anymore. He was gone and she would be lonely forever. Without Jack by her side she couldn't do all the things they had talked about on Titanic. Their plan was to do it together and that was something they couldn't do anymore.

Rose felt that the little boat docked beside a big ship. It was called the Carpathia. She looked at it. It wasn't as big as the Titanic had been, but still, it was big. An officer came up to her ''Do you want me to help you to get on the ship, miss?'' He asked her.

''No, I can manage.''

The man nodded, but as soon as Rose tried to get on the ship her legs gave away and she fell. The officer immediately grabbed her arm and helped her to get up again. ''Are you alright, miss?''

''Yes, I'm fine.'' Rose said. Everything did hurt. Her whole body. All because that stupid iceberg.

The officer helped her to get to the infirmary. Rose thanked him and the officer walked away again. A nurse came to her bedside. '''Hello miss. I presume you are a Titanic survivor?''

Rose nodded. She wasn't exactly in the mood to talk to anyone. She just wanted to sleep and dream about Jack.

''I'll get you some blankets and nice warm cup of tea. Would you like that?'' The nurse asked.

''Yes, thankyou.''

The nurse nodded and then walked away. It took Rose only a couple of seconds to get in a deep sleep. She was so exhausted from the last few days. She didn't have the strength anymore to keep her eyes open.

When the nurse came back she saw the girl had fallen asleep. She decided to put all the blankets on her, so that she would be warm. The nurse let her sleep for now. She noticed that the girl was really exhausted and that she would need her sleep.

...

When Rose woke up the next morning she didn't know where she was. She looked around the infirmary and saw a lot of people in beds. All of them had faces which had lost the colour. She then remembered everything. Jack and her ending up in the water, Jack's death and her being pulled out from the water. In that moment she remembered she had lost her Jack. The only man she had ever loved. Yesterday she hadn't really thought about it that much. She was still in shock from all that had happened. But it was different now. Everything had sunk in. She felt the pain from losing Jack now more than ever. Her beautiful, young, Jack.

She cried. It was the first time she cried after the disaster. Everything came out. The realisation that she had to live life from now on without Jack by her side. It just wasn't fair. Why didn't they listen to those iceberg warnings? Why had they ignored them? It had cost the lives of so many people.

After more than an hour Rose dried her fallen tears. She knew Jack wouldn't want her to cry like this. She had made him a promise and she was going to keep it. She would live life the fullest, making all of her dreams come true. She would live her life the way she wanted it and there was nobody to stop her. She was determined to make life great.

She called the nurse and asked if she could go outside for a little while, just wandering around the ship. ''Yes, you can. But don't be out for too long. You still have to recover.''

Rose had nodded at her and made her way outside. She looked up at the sky and slightly whispered ''I'm going to fullfill that promise, Jack. I'll do it for you. I can't thank you enough for letting me break free from my old lifestyle.

An officer came to her and asked for her name. ''Dawson, Rose Dawson.'' She said.

She looked up at the sky again and said ''I'll always carry you with me, Jack. I love you, never forget that.''

So, what did you think? Let me know;)
