Disclaimer: I do not own Titanic the 1997 movie in anyway. It all came from James Cameron.
AN: This is if Rose would be found by Cal in the Carpathia. Scene is when Cal went looking for Rose in the Carpathia.
A Little Bit of Grief
"Rose? Is that you?" He said, quite disgusted. The girl did not move. Caledon Hockley decided to shake her a bit.
"Rose!" he said a little louder.
No response.
Cal couldn't believe he was going to do this but Rose seemed not to notice anyone or anything for that fact. He was in the third class quarters, none of his actions would matter.
He spun around preaparing to leave then spun again almost instantly and inched forward Rose a little to close. Close enough to feel her slow breathing, to smell her salt sea smelling hair and to touch her flawless face. But he didnt. He just stayed that way for a moment that
made him feel, what was the word? Happy, perhaps. Rose seemed to stir.
Then without warning she slapped him hard across the face. He seemed
to be taken aback but chose to ignore it for the meantime.
"Rose, are you alright? My dear, I hate to say but you look a fright!" he said softly.
"What are you doing here Cal?" she replied sharply. "I know you're only here because of the diamond. Well, here. Take it." she shoved her hand in the pocket of the coat and out came a sparkling blue diamond. Cal held it in his hands. He almost forgot about it. He just wanted to see how Rose is. He handed it back to her.
"Here, Rose." he said. "Take it. It's my engagement gift for you remember?"
"Dont get sweet with me Cal. This is not the life I want. I want to be with Jack! Not you!" her words stung but she wasn't even done. "I would never marry you! You are vile and wicked! You wouldn't save anyone, you even wanted me along with others dead just so you could be saved! How can you even pretend that didnt happen? How dare you come here in front of me?"
"Rose," he whispered. "That's not true. You know I only shot bullets because of the man and not you. I was just shocked by everything. I never would want you dead. It was just, a matter of impulse."
"You liar." she snapped. The voice she had was failing her. She started to tremble and tear up. "Jack's gone. But even though, I'll never marry you and you'd want me dead. Am I right?"
"No Rose. You don't have a choice. Invitations are sent out. Your mother's hysterical. The wedding will push through. Once the ship docks, you'll be getting off with me."
Rose slapped his face once more
"Shut up!" she screamed.
People took no notice of them. They were too wrapped up in their own problems and grief.
Cal held her hand tightly
"Be a good girl Rose. I'm all you have." He grinned. Happy at the way things turned out.
"I may marry you Cal, but Jack still owns me. And you'll never do."
Cal tightened his grip on her. Rose was losing her breath. She tried to stop the tears falling on her face until she lied down and just let the tears flow. She hasn't slept since the ship came from Titanic, the nurses said. Cal carried Rose to the first class quarters in their
rooms. And lay her on the bed. He stood there gazing at his lovely soon to be wife and went out to inform his people Rose has been found.
