Hello everyone, I have already posted a Titanic story before now, but this is a story of Jack and Rose. Jack survived the sinking of the Titanic and the couple now have a new hurdle to face; old age. Can their love go on? Can Rose let go? Or can Jack find her again?
The sound of water lapping up at the shore floated through the window, fluttering the net curtains as it traveled. The smell of gravy tempted the taste-buds and an old man sat propped up in an armchair. He was staring out of the open window towards the lake that the house backed onto. A vacant look covered his tired and wrinkled face, yet the blue eyes shone through. Jack Dawson had changed, yet his feelings remained.
Tottering into the room came a woman wearing an apron and a smile upon her face. She too was aging. Making her way over to Jack, she stooped down as best she could, level with his face. "Jack, dinner is ready." A fondness and true love coated every inch of her voice as she looked into his misty eyes.
"We can't eat." His words came out raspy and anxious.
"Why not, my love?" The woman replied, worry starting to show on her face. She recognised this reaction, but it was worse now than she had expected.
"Because this ship is sinking!" His words were panicked as he struggled to stand up.
"No Jack. It isn't. We aren't on a ship." She tried to stay calm, yet the pain was evident.
"I have to find Rose! She might be stuck somewhere. What if she's dead?!" Jack's eyes were now searching the air frantically for his one true love. He could not see what was before him. Nothing was clear.
"I'm here Jack. Please calm down. I'm here, my love." The woman's shoulders were now starting to shake and her bottom lip was quivering.
"No! I have to find Rose!" At this, the woman stifled a sob and the tears truly starting to stream down her face, reaching every crevice in the wrinkled skin.
Rose stood before Jack. Old and frail though she was, her heart still yearned for him. And however much she was losing him every day, she would never let go.
