Chapter 6 part 2: A place in life

The light continued to shine upon her body, engulfing her heart and body in warmth. Rose lay motionless in the bed, waiting, just waiting for her mind to wake up and bring her to the surface of reality yet again. Her eyes opened.

The door moved open slightly revealing the gleaming blue eye of the nurse. A smile spread across the young nurse's face in response to seeing Rose's open eyes.

"Aw what a lovely face to see awake and well again," the nurse's voice took on a sing song sound as she walked over to Rose's side.

"Same be to you," Rose's reply was filled with true love from her heart and feeling from her mind. "Would you help me up a moment?"

"Oh well the doct…" Rose quickly cut her off,

"I have never been one to sit and do nothing at someones command to do so. Please." She added as she reached her hand out to the nurse. The nurse slowly grasped her hand and pulled her so she was sitting upright, and then firmly grasped her shoulder and side to keep her on her feet as she Rose stood. "Thank you."

Rose walked to the window and pulled the curtains apart to gaze upon the city below her. "It's a beautiful day Red Rose." The nurse said with her sing-song voice.

"mhm," Rose replied, "I'd like to go outside, will you wake me?"

"Well I am afraid the only way I can do that it is if I get a wheelchair in here."

Rose sighed but nodded, "That being so, may you please get me a wheelchair and wheel me out?" Rose's eyes glistened with happiness, a look that had been foreign to her face for so long.

"Aw so the rose has blossomed to show her true face!" The nurse replied as she turned and walked back towards the door to retrieve a wheel chair. When alone Rose sat on the small windowsill and propped her still week body against the window frame, as she remembered that night…

The night was cold, their breath shown against the black night. The water lapped at the ships sides, the girl followed the deck to its end, to the nose of the ship, ready to meet her fate.

The young boy, about 17 or so, lay on the wooden bench that was bolted against the deck. The smoke rose from his cigarette like smoke out of a chimney in the winter keeping a family warm. The speedy footsteps stirred him from his trance. He rose and walked towards the girl whom was now hanging onto the edge of the ships nose, on the outside of the safety rail.

"Don't do it," he quietly said as he walked up behind her.

"DON'T MOVE! I'LL JUMP!" She spat at his words of persuasion

"No you won't, if you were going to jump you'd have already jumped." He said as calmly as he could to the suicidal girl."

"You don't understand." She said with the pain of being trapped inside herself showing through.

He slowly began to take off his jacket and his shows. "You know I can't back away now. You've brought me into it."

"Yes you can! You don't know me."

"But see I came over here so I am apart of it now."He paused. "If you jump I have to."

"You have to be joking the fall alone would kill you!"

"No it'd hurt, but I wouldn't die. I more scared of the water."

Her voice softened and she turned her face to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"Well once I fell into a frozen pond, and the water is so cold that you can't think, except for the pain." As their talk grew longer she took his hand and stepped over the railing. As she came over then end of the railing she fell to the deck of the boat, scared yet so happy to be alive. And so Rose met Jack.

The squeak of the door brought Rose back to the present and a smile reappeared on her face. "I can't believe it was only the day before yeterday." She said in an absent voice to the nurse who stood next to a wheelchair by the door.

"Sorry ma'am?" The nurse said as she wheeled the chair into the room.

"Hm… nothing." Rose said flatly with no emotion in her voice.

"OH," the nurse said with obvious worry in her voice, "I am supposed yo ask you by the way: what day is it and of what year?"

"It is April 15th, 1912." Rose said with so much certainty in her voice it was almost as if you asked a child what they saw, they know exactly what it is they saw but they don't pay attention to what they say it just.. comes.

"Aw I see." The nurse replied solemnly, "well then what about that walk in the garden you wanted hmm?"

"Its so good." Rose said with a distant look in her voice as she looked past the city below her to the endless ocean which lay past it.

"What is good beautiful Rose?" The nurse asked as she watched her beloved patient looking through the window, she could see Rose's eyes lost at sea, swimming with the past, she could hear the silent thumping of Rose's heart, smell the salt clinging to Rose's hair from that fateful night, she could taste the fear of the memory, feel the pain of watching as so many lives were lost, she could see Rose's soul through her eyes, she could see it all. Yet still she knew nothing, she knew not of the pain, not of the sorrow, not of the coldness, or of the smell, the taste of fate so close at mind, she only knew the look that haunted her Red Rose as she stood looking into the sea of eternity. "What is so good?" she repeated.

"Having a place in life."
