February, 1913

Over the last few weeks Jack has been working more hours at the bar. He has also been selling some of his drawing.

A man came into the bar with a long black coat on him. His Hat covered up his face. He looked wealthy. The man walked up to Jack.

"Good evening sir. What can I get you?"

"Can I have a-" I know that voice. The man looked up at Jack. "Dawson, Jack Dawson"

Shit it's Cal. "Hello Cal"

Cal grabbed Jacks collar and moved him closer to him. "Where is My fiancee Dawson?"

"Do you mean my wife? I'm not going to tell you anything Cal. Not ever. You only used her, you never loved my Rose"

"Rose does not love a gutter rat. She wants me and only me"

Jack punched Cal in the nose. Cal fell backwards onto the floor. The other customers in the bar went silence when Cal fell onto the floor. Jack ran out of the bar. He then got home.

"Rose! Rose where are you?!"

"In the kitchen"

"Rose we must leave New York right now"

"But why what's going on Jack?" Rose said as she put her hands on his chest.

"Cal...I was working and he found me"

"Oh God Are you alright?"

"I am now but we must leave because he is looking for you and me"

"Lets go and run away"

"Where do you want to go Rose?"

" I don't care Jack as long as we are out of New York the better"

Jack, Rose and Thomas got on a train to California. Hours later they finally arrived. They then checked into a small and cheap hotel to stay in.

"Your room is on the first floor. Just go down the hall way and it will be on the right hand side"

"Thanks. come on Rose"

The next day Jack, Rose and Thomas went for a walk. They sat down on a bench and talked about what there future.

"I don't want to go back to New York Rose. Not after what just happened. if Cal found you and Thomas I don't know what to do"

"I know Jack. I too don't want to go back. Cal is everywhere. What did he say?"

"He said that you don't want to be married to a 'gutter rat' "

Rose placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him. "I love you Jack. And you are not a 'gutter rat' Cal is a gutter rat and you are more of a gentleman then he is"

"Thank you Rose" Jack leaned in and gave Rose a kiss. "And I love you Thomas" Jack kissed his forehead. Thomas smiled happily at Jack. "Where do you want to live Rose?"

" I do like it here in California but why don't we more to Italy? "

" Really?" Jack started to smile.

"Yes. If you would want to"

"I would love that Rose. We have to save up some money. I could do some drawing"

"Maybe I could work too"

"I don't know Rose. I wish you could but who would take care of Thomas?"

"Your right Jack. I'm sorry"

"Don't say sorry Rose. There is nothing to be sorry about. Just think in a few months or next year we would be going to Italy"

"I can't wait"

Cal made his way back to Philadelphia. He was angry at Jack for pinching him and making him go unconscious for a few minutes. Cal slammed the door shut behind him. Ruth walked into the entrance.

"Mr.Hockey don't slam the door like that." Ruth noticed he had been attacked. "What happened to you?"

"That 'gutter rat ' happened. I asked where Rose was and-"

"Rose is alive"

"Yes she is. Anyway I asked him to give me her back and he said no. The 'gutter rat' told me that I didn't love her. I then grabbed him and he punched me in the face. I feel to the floor and became unconscious"

"That's awful"

"Yes it is. The 'gutter rat" is also his wife"

"Rose must be sick of him. He can't keep her alive. Not even with his very little amount of money "

"I must find Rose and marry her."

"What about that 'gutter rat' ?"

Don't worry Ruth. I will do something about him"

Jack and Rose sat up in bed with Thomas sleeping in the middle of them.

"We are going to complete our dreams Rose no matter what happens to us nothing or no one will stop us"

"I love your honesty so much and everything else about you Jack"

"I love you Rose. Goodnight"

"Goodnight darling" They kissed and then they kissed Thomas on the forehead.
