Hey guys! It's me! I have another chapter of A Near Miss for you all! Let me know what you guys think so far.
Jack awoke to a sleeping Rose next to him. He smiled. Jack thought for sure Rose had been a dream. He kissed her. Just then Rose's eyes fluttered open. "Jack?" She asked. Jack smiled. "Right here beautiful." Rose smiled. "I thought you had been a dream." She said. "Me too. I mean it would make since. You are way to good to be true." Rose blushed. "Today the ship docks." Rose smiled. "I can't wait."
Jack and Rose walked around the deck of the ship. Rose gasped. "Jack! Look!" She pointed to a sign that said:
Missing fiancé!
If you have seen this woman please return her to room 45 in first class. Reward, $2,000.
There was a picture of Rose. Jack looked around the deck. So that was why people had been watching them. Jack took off his coat and handed it to Rose. "Here, wrap this around your head to hide your hair." Rose nodded and did as she was told. The couple continued walking when Jack stopped. Rose looked at him confused, them saw what, more like whom, he was looking at. Standing a couple feet in front of them was Cal. "What the hell is he doing down here?" Jack asked. Cal was talking to a guard. "He's probley looking for me." Rose said. Jack and Rose turned around just as Cal looked at them. They walked to the third class bedrooms. Jack opened the door and they both sat on the bed. "I'm not going back. I won't go back with Cal." Rose said. Jack nodded. "And I won't let him take you." Rose smiled at him. "Jack, why do you care so much about me?" Jack smiled. He picked up her hands and looked at them. "Because I love you Rose. Winning that ticket was the best thing that's ever happened to me. It led me to you." Rose had tears in her eyes. "Oh Jack!" She threw her arms around his neck. "I love you so much." Jack smiled and hugged her back. "I love you more."
"Third class may now deboard!" A voice rang out. Jack and Rose walked over to the line where third class would be led off the ship. They had tried to stay away from Cal. Just when they thought they had been successful Rose heard a voice behind them. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here." Jack and Rose turned to see Cal. "Where in earth have you been Rose?" Rose glared at Cal. "That's none of your business." Cal grabbed her. "Rose!" Rose was terrified. "Get of her!" Jack through a punch at Cal. Rose fell to the floor. "Rose, are you okay?" Jack asked, scooping her up into his arms. Rose nodded. Cal stood up. "Oh sweet pea. It is my business. Your my fiancée." Rose glared at Cal. "No, I'm not. I never loved you and I never will. I love Jack." Cal was shocked. "So that's where you were last night. With him? What can he give you that I can't?" Rose was very angery. She stood up. "Oh Cal. You have no idea what Jack could give me. Love, kindness, a free life. Those are just a few." Cal glared at her then walked away. Jack turned to Rose, worried. "He didn't hurt you did he?" Rose shook her head. "I'm fine Jack, really." After they got up and were about to step on land, a guard asked them, "Could I have your names please?" Before Jack could answer Rose did. "Jack and Rose Dawson." The guard wrote it down then walked away. Jack smiled at her. "Rose Dawson?" Rose just smiled and continued walking.
Jack and Rose walked hand in hand around the city. "Where should we go?" Rose asked. Jack thought. "Maybe we could find an apartment." Rose nodded. "Great idea. Speaking of which," She slipped her engagement ring off. "I'm not going to need this anymore." Jack looked at her, shocked. "What? Rose, you don't have to." Rose shook her head. "Jack, I don't want to wear this. This ring reminds me of Cal and I don't want to be reminded of Cal. Plus," She smiled at him. ", I will have a different ring on this finger." Jack smiled at her. "What are you saying?" Rose blushed. "I think you know." Jack blushed as well. "Your right Rose." Jack got down on one knee. "Rose, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. And you know that. Rose Dewitt Bukater, will you marry me?" Rose nodded. "Yes! Yes Jack!" She jumped up and kissed him.
