Chapter 6: Flying Together

Rose ran as fast as her heels could carry her to the bow of the ship. She didn't know how or why Jack remembered the past, but she didn't care. She could skip everything that had happened between them once before. Her and Jack could finally forever be happy together! After running for what seemed like forever, Rose finally concluded her feet couldn't move fast enough. She couldn't get to Jack fast enough.

As Rose finally approached the bow, she slowed down. She took in the appearance of Jack standing at the front of the ship. He was standing straight up staring at the horizon. His wheat blonde hair was blowing with the sea breeze. A part of Rose didn't want to believe it was really him. She thought she was the only one who could remember this ship. She was the one who wished on that star. Rose didn't really care anymore. All that mattered was Jack. He was here and he remembered her.

Jack turned around as he heard Rose's soft footsteps behind him. He smiled at her, holding his hands out for her to take.

"So you know what I know, huh?" Jack asked her with a small chuckle. Rose took his hands in hers.

"Obviously I do, otherwise I wouldn't know to be here. Would I?" Rose replied. For a moment they both just stared at each other, both overwhelmed at the situation.

"Now this is crazy." Jack finally said, breaking their comfortable silence.

Rose finally couldn't take it anymore. She needed to feel Jack's arms around her once again. She needed to feel his love. Rose let go of his hands and enveloped him in the biggest hug she could possibly manage. Jack was slightly taken off guard at first. He stumbled back slightly, but he quickly returned her embrace. He wanted this just as much as her.

"You're really here Jack." She said. Her face was squished within his chest. Silent, happy tears made their way down her cheeks. Her sobs were barely audible to Jack.

Jack didn't answer her. He simply held onto her tighter, trying to comfort her.

"You didn't think you could get rid of me that easy, do you?" Jack finally spoke with a chuckle. Rose parted the littlest bit from his embrace to look him in the eyes. Her small smile soon turned into a serious expression. She couldn't ignore the reality that neither of them was truly meant to be there.

"I have to ask Jack. How are we both here? Especially since you….well….you-" She looked down in embarrassment. Why did she even decide to bring up his death? All that mattered was that they were together once more. Why should she care? Curiosity had unfortunately taken over in the moment.

"You can say it. I'm supposed to be dead right now." Jack whispered quietly. "I don't really know how I'm here right now. I just remember you and me waiting for the boats to come back. We were talking and then….I drifted into a peaceful sleep, nothing but a calm whiteness surrounded me. I think I was in Heaven, Rose." He looked back up at her with utmost seriousness; a slight smile covered his face.

Rose didn't say anything. She continued to stare at the ground. What was she supposed to say to that?

"I remember you and me waiting. I remember being so cold. You made me promise to never give up, to live on, to grow up, and die old. Then we were just waiting. I started singing our song to distract myself from the cold. The next thing I knew, there was a light shining on my face. A boat came back Jack. A boat came back. We were going to be okay." Rose's eyes began to feel with tears. "I-I shook you-your arm a-and you-you didn't wake up Jack." Rose stuttered through her tears. The memories of his death were too painful. "I wanted to die Jack. I remembered my promise though. I couldn't let you down." A small smile crossed her lips. Jack's tear-filled eyes reflected her own. "I was at a hotel. I saw a shooting star, and-and I wished to be b-back on the Titanic here w-with you. I-I wanted to save the whole ship, a-all the i-innocent people. I just mainly wanted you b-back. I didn't think my wish would really come true." Rose finished her recollection glancing at Jack once more.

"You wished me back to life?" Jack asked. He was somewhat surprised that she'd really do that for him.

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Rose looked at him with utmost surprise. "I told you I love you, didn't I?" She asked him.

Jack smiled at her quietly. "I love you, too Rose. I didn't tell before, because I didn't think I was gonna…..well…..you know…." Jack finally stopped talking.

Rose looked down at her and Jack's intertwined hands. She quietly slipped her hands out of Jack's and looked into his eyes once more. They looked at her with happiness, confusion, and worry. Rose smiled to reassure him. She finally couldn't take it anymore. Rose enveloped Jack in the largest hug she could muster. Jack returned the hug with the same urgency. It felt right to be back in each other's arms. It was where they each belonged. Together.

Rose pulled back from Jack's embrace slightly to look into his beautiful blue eyes once more. She looked into his eyes which seemed full of happiness and a slight tinge of lust. Slowly, Jack leaned in and kissed her. Rose's arms moved around Jack's neck while his moved to caress her waist. Rose couldn't imagine a better feeling that Jack arms around her. It was almost as if their kiss confirmed they were finally together again.

Jack eventually pulled away, smiling down at his Rose. His beautiful Rose. The sun was setting behind them making the moment all the better.

"Rose, would you like to fly with me?" Jack asked, taking his arms away from Rose's waist to take her hands.

"I'd love to." Rose replied simply. "I'd fly with you any day."

Jack smiled a sincere smile back at Rose before leading her back to their special railing.

"Do I have to close my eyes again?" Rose asked, all the while laughing with happiness.

"Hmm…..should I make Ms. Rose close her eyes?" Jack removed one of his hands from Rose and rubbed it on his chin. "It's your choice." He finally decided, placing his hand back into hers.

Rose closed her eyes and allowed Jack to help her onto the rail. Rose smiled all the while as she caught her balance, eyes still closed.

"Okay, open your eyes." Jack whispered the familiar words into her ear. Rose obeyed and couldn't help but gasp at the view before her. It was as if she was doing this with Jack for the first time. The vast Atlantic Ocean was the only thing Rose could see before her. Gentle waves could be seen in the distance. The crash of the water was heard from the ship's edge. The sky was painted with the gentle auburns, reds, and oranges of a sunset. There wasn't a cloud in sight to block the beauty. Rose felt the wind blow through her curls as if she were flying. She really was flying. Rose turned to Jack, looking deep into his gorgeous, crystal blue eyes. They each stood like that for a while just getting lost in each other's eyes. The calmness overwhelmed each of them. It was as if they were the only people in the world. Jack seemed to just stare at her. It was obvious what he wanted, but he seemed too nervous to do it.

"What are you waiting for?" Rose whispered eyeing his lips. Jack smiled back quietly before leaning in and kissing her once more. The kiss was just as magical as before. The sparks of their love seemed to be flying around in a rainbow of invisible colors all around them.

When they finished, Jack quietly parted looking Rose in the eyes again. "You know there's still a party going on if you want to go back again." Jack laughed it off.

"I'd love to." Rose replied. Jack helped her climb down from the rail. She made sure she didn't trip over her dress. She was rather afraid of that happening again now.

"I won't let you fall. Otherwise, I've gotta jump, right?" Jack read her mind.

"You jump, I jump." She said matter-of-factly.

"Right."

"Now shall we go?" Rose said offering Jack her arm.

"It'd be my pleasure Miss." He stuck his arm through hers, sticking his nose up in the air to look arrogant. Rose laughed all the way as her lovely Jack escorted her to the party in third class.
