Hi! This is my first fanfic! I hope you enjoy the first chapter! But before you read you must know that the first chapter is mainly based on the end of the movie (to remind you exactly what happens in the end if you haven't seem it in a long time). But little by little things change from the actual movie into the story I have created. And also you have to know that, I do not own all these characters, I do own Caroline Lyris and I might add a few characters or name unnamed characters from the film however I will tell you before a certain chapter when any of this happens, so that you don't think that it's all form the movie. Have fun reading!

Night of April 15th 1912
The stern of the Titanic slowly started rising vertically. Many people were struggling to get to the very back. In there was Jack and Rose.
"Come on," said Jack to Rose as he was helping her up, "come on." He repeated to encourage her. There were people everywhere wondering what to do and some just listening to a priest. But Jack and Rose managed to push through, and to climb to the back of the ship.
As they reached the very back of the Titanic, Jack drew Rose to himself, and held her tightly as he was holding a tight grip on the railing of the ship. Jack was holding on to Rose, and Rose was holding on to Jack. Neither of them wanting to let each other go. Rose looked around remembering something.
"Jack this is where we first met." she said to Jack.
Jack looked at her passionately for a moment then kissed her on the forehead and pressing his cheek to her forehead. He was holding her as close as he could.
But the stern of the ship was rising vertically, more and more. Jack watched as people were slipping down the deck into the freezing water with worry for Rose. The stern kept on rising and rising. Jack made sure Rose held on to the railing as he was.
Then suddenly the ship started splitting and the stern of the ship dropped down into the water. Jack and Rose were still holding on tight to the railing. Then again the stern of the ship started rising.
Jack looked at Rose and said "We have to move!"
He climbed over the railing. He heard screams from Rose and turned back to see her struggling to hold on.
"Give we your hand, I'll pull you over!" He got down to reach for her hand.
"Come on, give we your hand. Give me your hand." He repeated before she was finally convinced to let go of the railing with one hand and give it to Jack. Rose pulled herself up.
"I've got y'a. Don't let go. Come on I've got y'a!" Jack said to Rose, trying to encourage her.
He pulled her over safely and he made sure to let her press herself to the railing as he covered her while holding onto the railing himself.
"What's happening Jack?!" Rose asked as the ship was completely vertical and it wasn't moving for a moment.
"I don't know!" Jack replied as he looked around for signs of what was going to happen next. Then suddenly the ship started bobbing in the water. Jack quickly clung on to the railing.
"Hold on!" he said to Rose.
"Jack!" Rose screamed, for she didn't know what was happening.
They both saw the many people, that didn't go to the other side of the railing like they did, falling into the freezing water.
Then suddenly the ship started sinking down into the water, still vertically.
"This is it!" Jack said, as he saw what was coming it was going to be the end of the Titanic.
"Oh God! Oh God!" Rose exclaimed as she understood what was happening.
"Hold on!" Jack said to Rose.
"Oh God!" Rose said once again.
What was left of the Titanic was going down quickly now.
"The ship is gonna suck us down. Take a deep breath when I say it. Keep looking for the surface, keep kicking and do not let go of my hand!"
Rose nodded while, they both looked at the water getting nearer.
"We're gonna make it Rose! Trust Me." Jack said.
"I trust you!" Rose replied.
"Ready, wait! NOW!!!" Jack shouted to make sure he was heard over all the noise.
They both took a deep breath while the water was getting nearer every second. Then they were sucked in by the water. It was the end of the Titanic.
Rose and Jack kept kicking for the surface holding on to each other but then a wave of pressure caused Jack and Rose to let go of each other. Jack went down as Rose's life-vest made her rise to the surface. They tried hard to swim to each other but then before Rose knew it she was at the surface of the water.
Rose took a deep breath, "Jack!" she called. "Jack! Jack!" She called his name numerous times, but she couldn't see him anywhere so she decided to swim elsewhere. Then suddenly a drowning man got hold of her. He did everything to have air. Rose was pushed under water and out a few times, allowing her to take a few brief breaths.
"Jack!" Rose called, before being pushed underwater once again.
"Rose!" Jack called back seeing her being pushed underwater. He quickly swam over to her.
"Get off her! Get off her!" he shouted at the man then punched him in the face.
"Rose." Jack said, happy to see her again.
"Jack!" she replied.
"Swim Rose! I need you to swim!" he said, taking her hand and swimming ahead of her.
"Keep swimming!" he said, to encourage her.
"It's so cold!" she replied.
"Swim Rose!" he just repeated.
"Come on, here, keep swimmin'. He said seeing a peace of debris floating.
"Here get on it. Get on top." He said holding the peace of debris for her. As she struggled to get up he encouraged her.
"Come on Rose." When she finally got on, he tried to get on too but the wood would just flip over.
"Stay on it Rose, stay on it." He said.
"Jack…" Rose said.
"I'm here right now, I'm here right now." Jack replied.
"The boats are coming back for us Rose." Jack said encouragingly, "hold on just a little bit longer. They had to row away from the suction, but now they will be coming back."
After waiting a long time, maybe minutes, hours. Jack and Rose were still talking.
"It's getting quiet." Rose said to Jack a she heard the number of screams lessening.
"It's just gonna take a couple of minutes to get the b—boats organized." Jack responded, "I don't know about you, but, I intend to w—write a strong awarded letter to the White Star Line about all this." He informed Rose.
Rose looked at him for a moment, "I love you, Jack."
Jack looked back at her, "Don't you do that, don't you say your goodbyes, not yet, do you understand me?" Jack said.
"I'm so cold," Rose replied.
"Listen Rose, you're gonna get outta here, you're gonna go on, and you're gonna make lots of babies, and you're gonna watch them grow, you're gonna die an old, old lady, warm in her bed, not here, not this night, not like this, do you understand me?" Jack said.
"I don't feel my body," she just replied.
"Winning that ticket Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must—you must do me this honour Rose, you must promise me, that you'll survive, that you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless, promise me now, Rose. And never let go of that promise." Jack said to Rose.
"I promise." She responded.
"Never let go." Jack repeated.
"I'll never let go, Jack." She said, "I'll never let go." Rose repeated as Jack kissed her hand.
Jack stayed by Rose all the time never leaving her. Until something caught his eye, another piece of floating debris.
"Rose, there is another piece of debris floating by, I—I have to go get it, I need it. I'll come right back with it. I will come b—back and stay with you." He said giving Rose's hand a gentle squeeze and kiss before letting go of it.
Rose looked as Jack swam toward the piece of debris and swam back with it. She looked at him climbing onto it and lying across her.
"Jack, why aren't they back yet?" Rose asked.
" They are probably on th—they're way." He responded.
