Jack's POV
It's a beautiful day and I made some money with some portraits today. Now I'm heading home for lunch.
As I walk inside I get straight to the kitchen. Man I'm starving. But when I walk in I see Bruce, Simon and Anne sitting on the kitchen table, looking concerned at me. 'Did I miss anything?' I ask as I get some milk. They stay quiet. 'I think you need to talk to Anne, Jack.' Simon says. Anne nods. 'What's wrong?' I ask. I have literally no idea what's going on and it frightens me a bit. Simon and Bruce walk away and I hear them going upstairs. I look confused at Anne. 'What's up?' I ask. 'Jack I need to tell you something and to be honest, I don't know how.' I sit in front of her. 'Listen Anne, whatever it is don't be scared to tell me alright?' She sighs. 'It's not that I'm scared it is just.' She takes a deep breath. 'It's about Rose.' What did she just say? Rose? 'You mean your friend Rose?' I ask. 'Also.' 'What do you mean with also Anne?' I see her eyes getting some small tears. 'Listen, Jack. I know about you and Rose and how do I know? cuz I'm Rose's maid! and I found out yesterday because she told me almost everything about you and how much she loves you!' I can't believe what I hear and my heart stops beating. Does she mean that Rose is alive?! 'Please, Jack say something.' she asks me. 'Rose is alive?!' I ask. Anne nods. 'She is.' I strike my hands through my hair. I need to see her! I need to see her now! I stand up out off my chair. 'Anne please tell me where she is! I need to go to her immediately!' 'No Jack no! that's impossible right now!' 'Why?!' My head can't function anymore, I just need to go to Rose no matter what. I'll do anything to hold her. She stays quiet for a while. 'Please, Anne tell me. I need to know.' She looks me in the eyes. 'Cal.' 'What?! you mean Cal has fou-.' She nods. 'they are still engaged Jack, in a month Rose will be, Rose Hockley.' I shake my head. 'No.' I say. 'No this can't be true.' 'I'm sorry Jack.' I slap my hand against the wall. 'Shit! shit, shit shit!' I see Anne is crying. And Simon and Bruce walk into the kitchen. 'I just want to see her one more time!' I yell. 'Only one more time!' 'Please Jack calm down.' Simon says as he walks towards me. 'Anne maybe you can better go.' Bruce says. She nods. 'I'll be back Jack. I promise.' And she walks to the hallway. 'No Anne!' I yell. 'Please tell me where Rose is.' But the is gone. Now I'm left alone, with an empty answer and an empty heart.
Anne's POV
I feel horrible. How could I leave like that. Leaving Jack with an broken heart. I want him and Rose to meet so badly. But what if Cal finds out... Jack will be dead. I take a taxi towards Rose cuz I need to tell her to. It wouldn't be fear.
As I arrive I unlock the door but the house is almost empty. I go to Rose her room and but she isn't there. Man can this day get any worse. As I walk downstairs to leave the house I see Mr. Andrews. 'Well hello Anne, I didn't know you have to work today.' I sigh. 'Well, I don't. I'm here for Rose have you may seen her?' 'She is out with Cal and Ruth.' I sigh. 'Do you also know when she comes back?' He shakes his head. 'Well, thank you Mr. Andrews.' I say and I walk towards the door to leave the house. 'Anne?' I turn around. 'Yes?' 'What is wrong? you look worried.' I sigh and slowly some tears stream down my face. 'Hey come I'll make some tea for you.' I nod and follow Mr. Andrews to the kitchen. 'Do you want to talk about it Anne?' he asks as he makes some tea. 'Well it is really complicated, Mr. Andrews.' 'Don't worry Anne I have an ear.' I search for breath through my tears. 'It's about Rose.' I begin. 'And a boy named Jack Dawson where she is deeply in love with. Yesterday I-.' 'Jack Dawson?' He asks. I nod. 'Do you know him, Mr. Andrews?' He nods. 'I truly do. He was a third class passenger on board the Titanic. He died sadly enough. I know Rose was deeply in love with that boy, but how do you know about him?' I shake my head. 'No,no,no!' I say. 'He isn't dead!' His eyes get bigger. 'Pardon me?' 'He was in the infermary on the Carpathia! I met him there. And yesterday I found out that Jack and Rose know each other, but they both think they are dead!' Mr. Andrews looks at me without a word. 'And I just want Rose to know it before she and Cal get married.' I've never been so desperate in my whole intire life. Mr. Andrews shakes his head. 'I'm sorry Anne, but I don't think that will be a good idea.' 'What do you mean?' He poors tea in a mug and gives it to me. 'Thank you.' I say. 'What I mean is, Rose is getting married in a month. When we are going to tell her this, there will be too many consequences.' 'So you wanna keep it a secret towards her?' I say with disbelief. 'I need to go Anne, I'm so sorry.' I'm getting angry. 'So what about Jack huh?! What if he knows it already?! Everyone is exactly the same over here!, presumptuous and greedy!' I am out of breath. Mr. Andrews turns around and walks towards me. 'You really care about them, don't you?' I nod. 'And I just can't keep such a big secret towards Rose, Mr. Andrews. And I know they are getting married very soon, but we are playing with two souls.' 'I have a plan.' Mr. Andrews says.
Jack's POV
It's been two days since Anne told me that Rose is still alive. I feel helpless. I can't eat, I can't sleep and I can't even draw. The only thing I want is Rose, even if it's the last time. I need to tell her that I love her, no matter what. I sit on the couch with a glass of beer in my hands. 'Can I do something for you, Jack?' Simon asks as he walks into the living room. I shake my head. 'No, but thanks anyway.' I sigh. 'I think I want to leave Philadelphia.' I say. 'What? Where do you wanna go?' 'I wanna go back to my hometown for a while, I haven't been there since I was 15.' 'You sure about this?' I nod. 'Really, don't worry. I'll go there or a while and then I'll head to wherever I want to. It's also good to earn some money with my drawings.' 'Well, Jack if this is what makes you happy, go for it. But when do you wanna go?' 'As soon as possible. I wanna leave this place.' 'And what about, Rose?' Everytime I hear her name it's getting to breath. 'I don't think I'll ever see her again.'
Anne's POV
I can't wait to finally tell Jack the good news today. For 2 days, Mr. Andrews and I have made a plan, but we have to hurry because Cal wants to take Rose to New York for a couple of days. It's a horrible rainy day, and I'm taking a taxi to the boys.
As I knock on the door, I notice that the door is already open. 'Hello?' I say as I walk in. 'Who's there?' I hear a voice say. I see Simon's head peeking around the door of the living room. 'Hi.' I say and I walk towards him. 'Hey, good afternoon Anne. Why are you here?' I smile. 'I have some good news for Jack.' I say. 'is he here?' Simon sighs. 'Well that needs to be very good news then, he is upstairs backing his backs.' 'What?!, Why?!' 'He is about to go back to his home town, Chippewa Falls.' I can't say a word. I need to stop him! with no doubt I run upstairs to Jack. 'Jack?!' I scream. 'Jack?!' A door opens. 'Anne?' 'Ow God Jack, you're still here.' 'What are you doing?' He asks. For some reason, I'm out of breath. 'Please, Jack. You can't go!' 'What? How do you know?' 'Simon told me when I got here a couple of minutes ago. But you can't go! Because... because...' 'Calm down Anne, take a deep breath.' 'I can't keep you and Rose apart. I care about both of you so much. And the way Rose looks when she talks about you is just indescribable. I've never seen something like that, and it's beautiful.' I take another deep breath. 'Tomorrow night. Cal and Ruth won't be home. I'll pick you up to bring you to Rose, Jack.' His Jaw drops and he strikes his hands through his hair. His facial expression is also indescribable. He is getting all hyper and he walks around his room. His mind is paralyzed. 'YES!' He screams. He turns himself towards me as starts hugging me. 'You are amazing Anne!' He gives me a kiss on my cheek. 'I just couldn't see you both so broken, Jack.' 'She still really thinks about me?' I nod. 'Not even thinking. Also talking. It is only all the people around her who stop her dreams or she would have been gone already, I know for sure.' 'How can I thank you Anne?' 'Don't.' I smile. 'But the only thing is that she goes to New York the next day with Cal.' I sigh. 'And at the end of the month, they will be married.' His smile disappears. 'I only want to hold her, even if it is just for one more time. I only want to tell her that I love her, no matter what.' And every time it gets me more and more the way they talk about each other. True love does exist. 'And you will, I promise you.' 'Does Rose know tha.' I shake my head. 'She doesn't know anything.'
