Hello, this story starts off when Rose has just leapt off the lifeboat to go back to Jack. Please enjoy.
P.S. The italics are Rose's thoughts.
Disclaimer: I promise, I'm definetly not filthy rich.
Rose and Jack were running towards each other, fast. They finally reached each other, and went into an imbrace.
"Rose, Rose, you're so stupid, you're such and idiot," Jack hugged her harder.
Rose looked at him, "You jump I jump, right?"
Jack understood, "Right."
Rose felt her self suddenly pulled away, as she heard a gunshot. She ran, and twisted her head around to see the person she least wanted to see, Cal. As she looked back, she felt herself suddenly stumble and fall. She'd tripped over a loose piece of wood. She started to rise with the help of Jack, when she felt a hand close tightly on her other wrist, and Jack froze.
Rose looked back to see Cal gripping her wrist, gun out and ready.
"Let go of her and back up boy," Cal pointed the gun at Rose.
Jack's eyes widened as he put his hands up, silently pleading as he slowly backed away.
"Get up Rose," Cal said coldly, "And turn around, you don't want to see this."
Rose got up, "No!! Please Cal, please don't. Let him be, please, don't hurt him. Cal please!"
Cal sighed, "If I see you again gutter rat, you're dead."
Jack didn't move.
Cal stowed his gun in his pocket, and keeping a tight grip on Rose's wrist, dragged her up to the deck.
Rose looked back at Jack until she could see him no longer, sobbing silently.
Cal dragged her on towards a lifeboat when they pass by a young girl, hidden behind some machinery, and crying.
"Cal, please, we must help her," Rose pleaded.
Cal rolled his eyes, "Just pick her up then."
Rose did just that, trying to comfort the young girl.
They reached the lifeboat, and heard the sailor loading it yelling about needing just women and children. Rose could see an idea dawning on Cal's face. He turned to her, and grabbed the small girl, still keeping hold of Rose's wrist.
Cal pushed through the crowd, and spoke, "Here's a child, I've got a child and a woman. Please, they're all I've got in the world."
Rose rolled her eyes as she was dragged into the boat; Cal sure was a good actor.
As soon as the lifeboat had been rowed away a little, Cal shoved the girl into the arms of a woman who already had two children in her arms. Rose looked sorry towards the woman.
Rose then turned her gaze back to the Titanic as several people fell off as it started to rise.
What if Jack was one of those people?
She tried not to think about it. Several of the people attempted to climb into their boat, and she reached out her free hand to help them, but she was stopped by Cal, as he pushed them back with the oars.
"Get back," Cal shouted, "You'll swamp us."
Rose glared at the man she'd come to despise, "Cal! There's plenty of room in this boat!"
"Not for them!" Cal insisted.
Knowing there was no way that she could convince him otherwise, Rose just sat down and watched the Titanic sink.
As the great ship rose up, and then split, tears cascaded down Rose's cheeks.
She watched on in horror as the rest of the ship slowly sank, and everybody on it fell into the water.
She knew that most of them were still alive, but they would soon freeze to death.
She stood up, her wrist still prisoner to Cal, and turned to the crew member on the lifeboat, "We must go back!! We have to help them!! They'll die!"
"Listen Miss," the man responded to her pleading, "We go back there, and we'll be overflowed and sunk by them all. Please sit down.
"Please," Rose begged one more time before pulled down by Cal.
"Please excuse her behavior," Cal apologized and turned to Rose, "He's dead Rose, he's gone by now."
Rose didn't bother looking up when he said that, tears once again running down her cheeks.
Oh Jack.
Cal was probably right, Jack probably was dead, but she had to try anyways.
Rose finally made her decision, and she jumped.
