Chapter 7

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

As Jack walked into the room he put his portfolio and drawing pencil on the dresser then walked over and sat on the edge of the bed facing the window.

Rose was hidden in the closet, being as still and quiet as she possibly could. She had the necklace dangling from her coat pocket.

Jack sighed. He had one more day to get the other $20 to buy both tickets to get him and Rose on the ship that was leaving Thursday. He also had 2 figure out how he was going to give Rose the ticket without her knowing it was from him.

Rose tried to move back a little farther in the small closet without making any noise. She backed into the wall and her heels clicked on the floor. She froze hoping Jack didn't hear anything.

Jack heard the clicking of Rose's heels but just thought it was a shirt that fell down with the clothes hanger so he ignored it.

Rose stood still and grabbed the necklace that dangled from her coat pocket. She tried to put it around her wrist so it wouldn't hit the floor but it slipped out of her hand and made a loud thud when it hit the floor. Rose froze. She heard footsteps coming toward the closet and could hear the doorknob twist to open the door. Rose knew it was no use but she quickly and quietly slid down to the floor hoping Jack wouldn't see her.

Jack opened the door and looked straight in front of him and didn't see anything but when he glanced down he saw Rose almost sitting on the floor and the necklace right infront of her.

"Rose?" Jack asked confused. "What are you doing?"

Rose looked up at him slowly and she cursed under her breath. "I-" Rose froze she didn't know what to say, she didn't want to say anything.

"Rose?" Jack asked again. "What are you doing?"

Rose looked down then looked back up at Jack. "Trying to get away from you..." She said in a soft voice.

Jack laughed and raised and eyebrow. "Well that's not working out so well is it?"

"It would've if you wouldn't have came back home before I had the chance to get out of here."

Jack laughed a little and held out his hand to help Rose up. Rose looked at him hesitant but slowly took his hand as he pulled her up from the floor.

Jack looked down at the necklace that still layed on the floor. "What were you going to do with that?"

"I was going to sell it to make money." Rose said.

"So you could get away from me." Jack said knowing that was the only reason she would sell it.

"Yes." Rose nodded slowly.

Rose looked at Jack in the eyes and he looked at her right back. They stayed like that for a minute just staring into eachother's eyes then Rose spoke up.

"I- I should get going." She said as she picked up the necklace and walked towards the bedroom door.

Jack just stood there as Rose opened the door and she walked out. He could hear her heels clicking going down the stairs.

Jack sighed. He didn't want Rose to leave again he wanted to talk to her and work things out.

Rose opened the front door and just as she did Jack came down the stairs.

"Rose..." He said softly.

Rose turned to face him.

"Can't we just talk, please?" Jack asked as if he was begging her to stay.

Rose just stood there and didn't say anything.

"Please?" Jack asked one last time.

Rose sighed and shook her head and walked out the door shutting it behind her.

Jack's heart sunk in his chest. He just wanted to talk to her and work things out. He walked over to the window and watched Rose walk down the driveway and down the road until he couldn't see her anymore.

Rose had walked to a pawn shop to sell the necklace.

"Hello." Rose said as she walked up to the counter.

A young man turned around and gave Rose a small smile. "Hello. Can I help you?" He asked.

"Yes. I'd like to sell this necklace." She said pulling it out of her coat pocket and laying it on the counter.

The young man's jaw dropped when he seen how big the blue diamond was. He picked it up and was amazed at how heavy it was. He had never seen anything like it before. The young man looked up at Rose. "How much were you hoping to get out of this?"

"I'm not sure. Whatever you are willing to give me for it I guess." Rose looked at the him with a small smile. She didn't figure she'd get much out of it at a pawn shop but she needed the money for a ticket so whatever they would give her she'd gladly take.

"Hold on. Let me get the boss." He said.

Rose nodded as he walked back into a room behind the counter.

"There's a lady here who wants to sell a necklace." The young man said.

His boss turned to him "Okay and?"

"Well it's a necklace with a big stone and it weighs alot. I don't know what to give her for it?" The young man said.

"Okay. Come on. I'll take a look at it." His boss said annoyed getting up from the chair he was in and walking out the door.

"Hi." The boss said getting Rose's immediate attention. She knew that voice anywhere.

Rose looked up quickly and was shocked to see that the man who was standing behind the counter was Cal.

Cal froze when he realized it was Rose. He thought she had died with everyone else that was left on the ship. "Rose!" Cal yelled.

Rose grabbed the necklace off the counter and ran out the door without looking back.

The young man just stood there confused as Cal ran out the door after Rose.

I really didn't intend to have Cal in the story but I thought since Rose was going to pawn the necklace it would make it somewhat interesting...or at least I hope. I hope everyone likes this chapter! Please review! :)
