Chapter 14

*Thank you to everyone who reviewed.*

It was almost midnight and Jack was still sitting on the steps. He yawned as he got up from the steps to go back inside the house. He slowly made his way up the stairs to the bedroom. Jack rubbed his eyes and yawned once more. "Where is she?" He asked himself as he crawled underneath the sheets and turned off the light on the nightstand. Jack tired to fall asleep but he couldn't. He couldn't help but think something was wrong. Never the less, a couple of hours later he finally fell asleep.

"Did you find her?" Cal asked.

"Yes I did."

"Well if you found her why didn't you bring her here?" Cal asked annoyed.

"You just said to knock her out. You never told me to bring her back here."

"Damnit Lovejoy! When you knocked her out you were supposed to bring her here!" Cal shouted angirly.

"Sorry sir but you never said to bring her here." Lovejoy said.

Cal glared at Lovejoy and said "Lovejoy get her and bring her here."

Lovejoy nodded and turned towards the door to go get Rose.

Lovejoy sighed. He actually hated Cal. Even when they were on Titanic he hated him. He hated doing his dirty work. The only reason he did it was because Cal paid him well to do it.

Lovejoy got into the car and drove back to the two buildings where Rose was knocked on the ground in the middle of them.

He got out of the car and seen Rose was still laying there on the ground.

He picked her up and put her in the backseat and drove back to Cal's house.

When Lovejoy got back to Cal's house Cal walked towards the car.

"Did you get her this time?" He asked.

"Yes." Lovejoy answered.

"Good. Get her out of the car and bring her in the house." Cal said walking away.

Lovejoy did as Cal said and took Rose into the house and set her on a couch in the livingroom.

"So what are you going to do now that you have her?" Lovejoy asked standing near the front door.

Cal smirked. "I want the necklace that she threw into the ocean and she's going to get it."

"What if she doesn't?" Lovejoy asked.

"Then she'll be there in the ocean with it." He said.

"Don't you think that's a little cruel?" Lovejoy asked.

"So. If she gets the necklace I'll let her go back to that gutter rat. But if not he'll never see her again." Cal said.

Lovejoy just nodded his head and looked at Cal. He wanted so bad to tell Cal that what he was doing was wrong, that it was just a stupid necklace, that he didn't like him or want to work with him but he kept quiet.

"Well, I'm going out. If she wakes up keep her here. I'll be back in a while." Cal said.

"Where are you going?" Lovejoy asked.

"I'm going out to go do somethings." And with that Cal walked out the door, got in the car and drove away.

Lovejoy walked over to the other couch opposite of the one Rose was on and sat down.

After a little while Rose woke up.

"What happened?" She asked as she rubbed her head where she was hit.

She looked around the room then looked in front of her. Her eyes widened when she realized who was sitting in front of her.

"Hello, miss." Lovejoy said.

"What the hell am I doing here?"

Lovejoy avoided her question. Even though Cal wanted her to stay there when she woke up, Lovejoy knew it was a bad idea so he said, "It doesn't matter. Cal's going to be back soon. You've to get out of here."

"Yeah right. I'll try and leave and you'll knock me out again. How are you even still alive?" Rose asked with anger in her voice.

"Honestly I don't know. I was next to the middle of the ship when it split and somehow ended up on a lifeboat. But that doesn't matter. I'm serious you've got to leave." Lovejoy said.

"Something's not right here." Rose said.

"What that I'm telling you to leave? Listen I hate Cal the only reason I work for him is for the money." He said.

"That don't surprise me. I still don't believe you'll actually let me go and if you do you'll tell Cal where I am." Rose said.

Lovejoy walked over to the door and opened it. "Go. Leave before Cal gets back. I won't tell him. Besides he'll blame me for letting you go, which is better than what he will do to you if you don't find the necklace."

"What he'll do to me? What is he going to do to me?" Rose asked with anger still in her voice.

"He said if you don't find the necklace Jack will never see you again."

"Jack." Rose thought. "He must be worried about me. I've been gone all day."

"So what do you say, miss? Are you going to leave before Cal gets back?" Lovejoy said.

Rose didn't say anything she just nodded her head and walked out the door.

Before she got off the porch she turned around. "I never thought I'd say this to you but thank you."

Rose walked down the street as fast as she could, but still kept an eye out for Cal, in case Lovejoy lied and managed to get a hold of him to tell him she left.

Jack woke up to the sound of the front door opening. He got out of bed and started to walk downstairs slowly and quietly.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs he felt someone grab him but he didn't scream or pull away because he knew exactly who it was.

"Jack?" Rose asked laughing a little because she couldn't see in the dark.

"Who else would it be?" Jack laughed.

Rose walked over and turned the lamp on next to the couch.

"What happened?" Jack asked refering to the blood stains on her arm from where she hit the ground.

Rose looked at him sadly. "Cal," was all she said.

Jack got angry and mummbled under his breath.

"What are we going to do?" Rose asked.

"You're not doing anything." Jack looked Rose in the eyes, hugged her and kissed her forehead. As he did he felt a bump that was on Rose's head from where she had been hit.

"I'm going to kill him." He said quietly hoping Rose wouldn't hear him but she did.

"Jack don't." She said.

"Well what do you want me to do? I'm not just going to let him hurt you and get away with it." He said sternly.

"I know but I don't want something to happen to you." Rose said.

"You won't have to worry about something happening to me because something's going to happen to him. He's not getting away with this."

Rose just nodded and hugged him tighter.

Jack pulled away. "I'll be back." He said as he walked upstairs.

A few seconds later he came back downstairs with a damp wash towel.

"Let me see your arm." He said as he wiped the blood off Rose's arm.

"Thanks." Rose said with a small smile.

Jack nodded and smiled back.

"I'm going to take a bath and get cleaned up." Rose said.

"Okay." Jack said as Rose walked upstairs to the bathroom and shut the door.

Jack walked over to the couch and sat down and thought for a while. He couldn't figure out why he would do that to Rose seeing how she didn't have the necklace anymore. All he knew was that he hated Cal even more than he already did, if that was even possible.

A few minutes later Rose came downstairs.

"I'm going to bed." She said as she kissed Jack on the cheek.

"Okay. I'll be up there in a few." He said.

Rose walked upstairs and shut the bedroom door.

A few minuets later Jack got up from the couch, turned off the lamp and went upstairs.

He opened the bedroom door then closed it quietly and got into bed. He wrapped his arms around Rose and held her tight.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you, too." Jack said.

They layed there for a while before finally falling asleep.
