"You've drank enough for the night"
Jack ignored the comment his eyes never leaving the table. No, he couldn't stop drinking. Anything that would keep his mind far from Rose was good for Jack, and drinking was helpful.
"Not true, I can take much more. Watch me" he answered simply.
"You'll thank me in the morning" said the same voice taking away the glass in Jack's hands.
"You don't have to do this Fabri, I'm fine" said Jack looking at his friend for the first time since they arrived to the bar.
Jack just ran out of the mansion with his heart broken, and he didn't know what to do. He wanted to go back and take Rose with him but he felt he couldn't do that. Rose belonged to the same world William was.
"No, you're not fine. I think you should talk to Rose, you didn't give her a chance to explain" answered Fabrizzio with his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I knew something like that would happen. I was so blind, I didn't wanted to see it, but now it's so obvious. She's a first class woman, and I am a homeless guy that lives on the streets" said Jack holding back his tears.
"You're not only that Jack, and you know it. Rose knows it"
"I'm going back to Wisconsin, I bought a house there. If you want to come with me, you're very welcome" said Jack.
"Jack, come on, give her a chance" said Fabrizzio trying to convince him.
"The decision is already made" answer Jack standing up and leaving the bar without looking back.
Rose was sitting in an uncomfortable chair waiting for something good to happen. She felt lonely, and she was trying to be positive, but she knew she couldn't be like that much longer. She breathed in deeply trying to hold back tears. Two weeks already. She missed him so much, but she couldn't face him now. He was so disappointed the last time she tried to talk to him; Rose decided things were over between them. Just that thought broke her heart.
"Miss Dewitt Bukater?" said a tall skinny young man.
"Yes" she answered standing up.
"Congratulations, you got the part" he said shacking her hand.
"Thank you so much" said Rose smiling.
She was going to be on a play, and she was going to be distracted and that way she wasn't going to think about him. She was going to be busy; this was definitely something good, she thought. Yes, she was going to be happy. Right?
"Jack, it was nothing really" she said for the fifth time.
"Please Rose, don't make this harder than it already is" he said ending their conversation.
Where those the last words they were going to share? After all they went through end up like that? No. She had to look for him one last time.
"William, I wanted to thank you for all your help" she started saying.
"Don't worry about it" he said smiling.
"I rejected the part in the play" Rose answered.
"What?" asked William impressed.
All Rose talked about for the last two weeks was that play and that part. Now that she got it, why on earth would she reject it?
"I can't do this"
"You'll be fine, you deserve the part. You're perfect for it, you know that" he said trying to explain her that she was making a mistake.
"It's not about that. I know that if it weren't for you, I probably would never be accepter for that part. That's one of the reasons I didn't accept it, but not the only one," said Rose.
She looked decided, and William knew that he wasn't going to convince her. She was like that. She made decisions like that. William felt nostalgic; he knew Rose was leaving by the look she gave him.
"It's because of him right?" he asked in a low voice.
"You've been a terrific friend, you were there for me the last two weeks…" started saying Rose.
"When are you leaving?" he asked interrupting her.
"Tomorrow morning"
"That soon?" he asked surprised.
Rose nodded. He stayed in silence for a few seconds.
"You never gave me a chance Rose. He left, but I didn't. I thought I deserved a chance" he said not looking at her.
"Will, I think my relationship with Jack deserves another chance. I'm sorry for all the trouble I may had cause you. So… This is goodbye" she said shacking his hand.
"He might not accept you back, you know" he said.
"I know"
"Good luck then" he said politely, trying to maintain his face emotionless.
"Thank you"
Please review, it would be nice.
