Meanwhile, upon decks at the lifeboat, Caroline, Ruth and Molly were at the lifeboats. Ruth and Molly are taking a seat in the lifeboat, but Caroline wasn't ready to go yet. She wanted to make sure that Rose and Jack remained apart for good and if possible, Jack return back to Chippewa Falls with her for their long overdue wedding. She wanted to be Mrs. Dawson as soon as possible.

"Come on Caroline, there's room for you," Molly motioned, wishing it was Rose getting in the boat with them instead of this horrible girl that had possible sent her fiancee to his death.

"I'll catch the next lifeboat. I need to check on Jack," Caroline waved. "You do understand?"

"Of course darling. We'll see you soon," Ruth waved while Molly pushed back the fear that raised into her heart. Rose was probably with Jack now and she didn't want to think about the coming confrontation between her niece and Caroline. Hopefully things would work out for the best.

…..

Jack and Rose broke through the locked door into a well-lit and slightly crowded corridor. They just look down at the ruined door and continued moving through the corridor, looking for a way up to the upper deck.

"Hey! You have to pay for that you know!" a steward yelled at them, outraged by the broken door. "That's white star line property!"

"Shut up!" Both Jack and Rose yelled at the steward. Really, the man should be aware that the ship was sinking and that a damaged door didn't mean much.

Finally they did reach a stairway leading up. But it was crowded and it led up to a locked gate with two stewards holding guns. People were trying to storm the gate, but the stewards were holding them back with guns and axes. That's when Jack heard a familiar Irish voice.

"For God's sake man! Let us out so we can have a chance!"

A minute late, Tommy Ryan came burrowing down the stairs. His eyes light up when he spots Jack and Rose.

"Tommy!" Jack rushes to him.

"They're not letting us through this way!" Tommy motions to the locked gate. Then he noticed Rose. "What is she doing here Jack? She's first class! She should be on a boat!"

"It's a long story," Rose looked up at the locked gates. Were those stewards mad? Why did they have all these people locked down here when the boat was sinking?

"Jack!" Another voice called.

Jack turned around to see Fabrizio. He immediately hugged his best friend, relieved to see him. "Fabrizio."

"The boats are all gone!" Fabrizio exclaimed.

Jack nodded. "Okay. We have to do something and we have to do it fast. She's going quick."

"There's no way out this way!" Tommy sighed, frustrated. When he had left Ireland for America, he had never thought he'd end up in such a situation.

"We'll find a way! Follow me!" Jack grabbed Rose's hand and led his friends to another entrance way.

…..

Caroline moved along the deck, looking for Rose and quite possibly Jack. She had to find them before they could get to a lifeboat. Stepping up behind an officer, she spotted the handle of a gun. Looking to both sides of her, to make sure that no one was looking, she lifted the gun slowly out of the officer's pocket. A little insurance had never hurt her before, it wouldn't hurt her now. She was going to take Rose out of the picture one way or another. She was determined.

…..

Jack leads his friend up to another locked gate, but this time it's guarded only by one steward, and this was the wimpy one he and Rose had yelled at. Jack remembered how the steward backed down with fear in his eyes. Maybe old-fashioned bullying will work on him.

Jack pushed through the crowd and lookeds the steward dead in the eye. "Open the gate."

"Go back to the main stairwell," The steward directed.

Jack's voice is more forceful this time. "Open the gate right now."

"Go back to the main stairwell like I told you and everything will get sorted out there," the steward stood his ground, refusing to be bullied.

Jack got frustrated. This wasn't working. He glanced behind him at Rose and his heart jumped into his throat. She was in this mess because of him. She would be on a lifeboat floating to safety if she hadn't come after him. He couldn't let her die like this. He had to get her out of here. He wasn't going to let this wimpy steward stop him.

Losing his temper, he cursed at the steward and jerked at the gate hard. He turned around and spotteds a bench that was nailed to the floor. He immediately went to it and began to pull on it. "Fabri, Tommy! Give me a hand here!"

With all three of them pulling, the bench comes loose. They hoisted the bench up and aimed for the door, meaning to break it down with the bench that was now a weapon.

"Ok! One! Two! Three!" Jack yelled as they brought the bench into the gate, which gave a loud shudder. "Again!" Jack yelled.

That time the bench went through the gate, knocking it open and letting all the people free. "Come on Rose," Jack grabbed her hand and led her out.

"You can't go through there," The steward uselessly protested. "You can't go through there…" The steward's further protests were cut off by Tommy's fist.

…..

Caroline was on the other side of the ship. She looked down just in time to see an officer step onto the rim of a hanging lifeboat and shoot a gun out into the night air. Everything was falling a part. She had to find Jack and Rose fast.

…..

Jack and Rose and their two friends ran out of the ship. Jack rushed to the rail and looked for lifeboats but there were none. He's about to lead everyoneto the other side when Rose spotted Colonial Gracie escorting a lady straight ahead.

"Colonial! Are there any boats left?" Rose ran up the kind man.

"This way! I'll show you," The colonial pointed straight ahead. Jack grabbed Rose's hand and they run straight ahead into the churning crowd.

The music from the band whiffed through the air, as if nothing was happening. This did not brighten Tommy's mood at all.

"Drowning by music. Now I know I'm in first class," Tommy snorted sarcastically as they run along.

Soon they reached the lifeboats and pushed their way to the rail. Jack pulled Rose ahead of him. He wanted to make sure that she got to safety.

The crowd grew wilder and rougher. Jack wrapped his arms protectively around Rose, noticing how she trembled beneath the blanket that a kind Irish woman had given her. Suddenly loud gun shots rang out.

"Stay back damn you!" an officer yelled.

"You two better go check the other side!" Jack turned to his two friends. They were reluctant to leave him, but by the look in his eyes, they knew not to argue. Jack's first priority at that moment was getting Rose to safety.

Rose looked over and spotted a man placing his little girl into a lifeboat.

"Now you be a good girl for mommy. This is good-bye for a little while, only a little while. This boat is for the mommies and the children," The man called to his daughter, tears streaming from both their eyes.

Oh no. Of course! That stupid law of the ocean…women and children first! Jack couldn't get on a lifeboat with her. That only meant one thing…she wasn't going to get on one either.

"I'm not going with out you Jack," Rose turned to him, determination in her eyes.

"No you have to go. Get on the boat Rose," Jack grabbeds her shoulders tightly, looking her straight in the eyes. If the boat wasn't sinking and there was no danger, he'd let her stay, but there was danger and he wanted her as far away from it as possible.

"No Jack."

"Get on the boat Rose, please," Jack begged.

Rose shook her head. He wasn't going to change her mind. Nothing was going to make her get on that lifeboat without the man she loved.

"Yes Rose. Get on the boat," Caroline appeared behind Jack, her cheeks red from the cold and the gun she had stolen hidden.

"You," Rose glared at Caroline. She definitely wasn't going now. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Rose," Jack pulls her to the side. "Please get on the boat. Don't worry about me. I'm a survivor."

"No Jack. I'm not leaving without you."

"Listen Rose. Your aunt told me she made arrangements with a boat at the other side of the ship. Jack can get off there," Caroline approached them again. "All you have to do is get on this boat and I can make sure your aunt's wishes are carried out."

Rose looks at Caroline suspiciously. Something wasn't right here, but Jack didn't give her much time to think about that.

"See, I have my own boat to catch. Now go on. Get in the lifeboat," Jack led her back to the railing. Looking at him, she didn't resist the officer pulling her away and into the lifeboat.

"Jack!" Rose reached her hand out for him. For just a second their hands grasp each other tightly.

"Clear the way!" An officer pushed Jack aside, causing their hands to disconnect.

"Don't worry Rose. Everything will be alright," Jack reassured her as the boat was lowered. Rose was helpless. She just sat there, staring up at Jack, wondering what was to happen now.

Now alone with a seething Caroline, Jack knew then that what she had told Rose wasn't true. It didn't matter. He could be angry with her, but he wasn't. All that really mattered that Rose was safe and off the sinking ship. "There is no arrangement is there?"

"Oh there is. Not that your little girlfriend will be benefiting from it any. I always win Jack. You should know that by now. We'll get on that lifeboat then we'll hide out on the rescue ship 'til we dock in New York. Our new names will be Jack and Carly Dahl. Rose won't be the wiser. She'll think you've perished after all on the Titanic."

"You can't be serious," Jack stared at her coldly. "What's to stop me from contacting Rose once we're on the rescue ship? Or going to her after we dock?"

"Her mother. You see Ruth and I grew close. She gave her word that she'd keep her pesky daughter away from my fiancée. Even if she had to have her committed to the infirmary with guards to do so. So you see Jack. You two will never see each other again."

"I don't love you Caroline," Jack said.

"I don't care," Caroline shrugged. "No more talking now. Better catch the last glimpses of Rose since you'll never see her again."

Jack looked at Caroline then back at the lowering lifeboat with his beloved on it. His heart ached, as he knew that Caroline was right. Rose was out of his life forever. But he was grateful for what little time they did have together. That was something that Caroline could never take away.

…..

Rose looked up at Jack, tears streaming from her eyes. How could she leave him like this? She loved him so much. As a flare went off into the sky, haloing Jack's face, Rose saw the sparkle of unshed tears in his eyes. His beautiful blue happy eyes now contained only sadness and despair, and Caroline's face…it shone with triumph. An evil grin spread from ear to ear. Something was up. Caroline was definitely up to something and it wasn't good. Rose had to stop her before it was too late.

Looking back up at Jack, Rose quickly stood up and leaped back onto the boat railing. Once her feet was back on solid ground, Rose raced through the hall looking for a way to get to Jack.

"Rose no!" Jack cried out as she leaped from the lifeboat. Shoving Caroline out of the way, he ran away from the railing and to the grand staircase to meet her. Their only thoughts were reaching one another.

"Jack! Jack!" Rose cried as she rushed into the first class lounge.

"Rose!" Jack rushed down the stairs.

"Jack!" Rose burst into refreshed tears as they collide into each others arms, holding on to each other tight, not wanting to let go of each other ever again.

"You're so stupid Rose! Why did you do that! Why!" Jack looks straight into her eyes.

At first Rose couldn't speak. Her love for him was so strong that her voice wouldn't work. But finally she smiled and lovingly gazed into his eyes. "You jump I jump. Right?"

"Right," Jack slightly laughed and pulled her into another hug.

"I couldn't go Jack. I couldn't go," Rose sobbed.

"It's alright. We'll think of something," Jack held her tighter.

"At least I'm with you."

For that one moment, Caroline was forgotten about. She stood up there and watched the two lovers. This wasn't fair. Why had this happened? This voyage was supposed to be magical. It was supposed to give her some important connections and Jack some goals to work towards for once. But the only new goal Jack had was a new girlfriend and Caroline was out in the cold. She knew that. She had lost everything because really, Jack was the only thing she had.

She couldn't take it anymore. Caroline pulled out the gun she had hidden in her lifebelt and began wildly shooting at them.

Jack looks up and saw Caroline with the gun, knowing that it was them she was aiming for. His former fiancée has gone completely mad.

"Run Rose!" Jack pulled Rose along after him as they run down the grand staircase away from Caroline's gunshots.

Caroline was in hot pursuit, as Jack pulled Rose into waist high water, making it harder to run. They ran even faster though when a bullet lands right next to them in the water. Finally, Jack pulled Rose up into a dry room, making it easier for them to run as a bullet flew into the glass window.

Caroline stopped chasing them when she reached the waist high water and tries to shoot, but the gun was out of bullets. She screamed in frustration, but a deadly smile crossed her face when she heard the dying groan of the sinking ship. Regardless of their recent escape, Jack and Rose didn't have a chance to survive the sinking. Revenge really did come in different forms.

"I hope you enjoy your time together!" Caroline called after them one more time before turning around to go up to the next to last lifeboat being launched.
