Thank you for all the reviews you amazing people =D

The gun pointed at us threatening to blow any second. I slowly slipped my hand into Jacks' this was the person we expected the least. What were they even doing still on the ship?

Rose stepped forward out of the shadows. Her face was so different from her normal porcelain features. Her eyes were red a mixture of tears and anger. Her face a sneer glare of rage. She looked like a crazy person her hand handling the gun shook tremendously she didn't even look like she was in full control of what she was doing.

"Well, well, well look what we have here. The whore beat me to it," Rose hissed a tone of mocking evil.

The name stung she really did hate me. Me and Jack didn't dare speak. The thought that we may say the wrong thing scared us both.

Rose stepped forward into the room and circled us shaking the gun. We stared her round, making sure she wouldn't have the chance to shoot us while we weren't looking.

"I tried to come down and rescue you Jack. I thought it would make you understand, but god damn it she beat me again. Cassia, do you ever get the feeling you hang about like a bad smell? Not wanted but always there,"

"Rose I..."I began.

"Shut up!" She screamed making me jump.

Rose put her hands to her head. "Just shut up," She said more calmly. I closed my mouth as I was silenced by a force much stronger and more dangerous.

Jack removed his hand from mine and stepped forward towards Rose. She wasted no time in flinging the gun and pointing it at his head. Jack held his arms up in surrender.

"Stay back!" Rose warned.

"Rose just put the gun down," Jack said in reassurance.

"Step towards me again and I will blow your head off Jack Dawson!" Rose warned again stepping back from him.

Jack paused in his tracks and raised his foot to take one last daring step.

"Jack," I said and Jack turned to face me. I shook my head. I didn't trust Rose not to shoot us at all. She was a broken woman, broken by grief, torment and a destroyed heart. She wasn't this timid, shielded girl desperate to break free that we had met only three days ago. She was dangerous and no doubt crazy. Jack seemed to understand this and delicately took a step back.

"Yes that's right listen to your whore Jack. She knows best," Rose mocked.

"Rose would you just stop," Jack said beginning to get annoyed and agitated.

"Why Jack? You scared?" Rose said sticking out a pet lip. "I don't want to stop; you see this is my game now."

Rose flicked the gun between us. She stepped forward towards me and flicked a bit of my hair with the gun while I breathed in. She looked at me in my eyes and I dared look her back. I felt the cold metal of the gun stroke down my face and neck. The end rested forcefully against my neck, I closed my eyes waiting for her to pull the trigger when she pulled the gun away from my neck and walked away from me.

"Can you please explain to me why you chose her, over me? Please Jack because I don't understand. You chose a dirty, nasty gutter rat to be your whore why?" Rose asked in frustration.

"Cassia is the twice the person you will ever be," Jack hissed at her giving her a cold stare.

Rose burst out laughing. "I was twice the person she was. Look what you have done to me!" She suddenly screamed gesturing at herself. Jack didn't look at her he kept her head to the side. Rose trudged towards him in the water and snapped his head round to look her in the face.

"Look at me!" She screamed again. Rose pushed his face away. She was crying hysterically and still waving the gun around.

"You promised me everything. You said I would be happy!"

"I didn't. I said I wanted to help you," He said softly.

"You left me; you left me to go back to her! I saw you. Now I have to make my own way into the big wide world because you let me be abused and humiliated by my mother and Cal, do you not understand that?" Rose cried.

Jack stepped forward and she immediately flew the gun up again. "I said stay the fuck away from me or I will shoot,"

I didn't know where this sudden adrenalin came from or this sudden thought that I could talk her out of it. Me of all people, but I found myself stepping forward to confront her. She was too distracted by Jack to notice me making my way towards her. Until Jack told me to stop. Rose turned the gun round to me.

"What makes you think you're the exception?" She asked.

I didn't say anything back until I was facing her. I slowly reached out and placed my hand on her arm, trying to lower the gun from my face. She resisted it at first, but I kept forcing until her arm relaxed and then fun was resting by her side.

"I'm sorry ok. I really am, but I have been in love with Jack for years. Watched him while he other girls fell for him. Been there when he thought he'd found the one. My heart had been breaking for years Rose. I'm sorry that he doesn't love you, it sucks. You're so young, you can go out in the world and find your soul mate, and you don't have to be trapped by your mother and Cal forever. Just please lets all go before this entire room is flooded and there's no boats left, let's not die bearing grudges." I explained. Rose looked down and I thought she would change her mind, I thought I had explained it so well. Suddenly the gun was back up in my face.

"You better just get the hell away from me,"

I stepped back again until I knocked into Jack. He squeezed my hand protectively.

"Enough's enough Rose you gotta stop this now please," Jack begged.

Rose didn't listen she held the gun at us both.

Rose began switching the gun between us. "Eenie meenie miney..." The gun then paused on me. "Moe,"

She glared before going to click the trigger. I gasped and suddenly Jack lunged forward and tackled her. He reached for the gun while Rose tried desperately to keep it out of his reach. The gun waved about the air dangerously. Rose screamed while Jack forcefully tackled her trying to protect me. Suddenly there was a bang making me jump. Jack stumbled back from Rose and they both looked at themselves wondering who it was who was shot. Both were clean.

The numbness had cleared and I was aware of a sharp, burning sensation in my leg. I looked down and saw my skirt seeping with blood.

"Oh God," Jack muttered. Rose dropped the gun and ran out of the room. Jack didn't make the effort to chase her; he immediately went to my aid. He held me up as I struggled to stand on my leg.

"You ok?" Jack asked. "Stupid question."

I nodded though not wanting to cause panic for both of us. I couldn't believe this was happening. I could feel the sticky warmth of the blood on my dress. I was scared, was I going to die. Jack picked me up and sat me down on the floating table. He gently lifted my dress where the bullet was embedded in my thigh, oozing with blood.

"It's gonna be alright Cassia, everything's going to be fine," He reassured me while ripping off half of the sleeve on his shirt.

"I'm just gonna wrap this round to stop the bleeding it might sting though," He tightly tied the material over the wound while I winced in pain. I yelped as he tightened. Jack gently stroked the side of my face and stared into my eyes.

"I'm gonna get you out of here," He whispered.

I nodded slightly while tears welled up in my eyes. He gently helped me off the table and wrapped my arm round his shoulder, giving me something to lean on. We trudged through the water, progress was slow very slow and the pain ripped through me with every step and I was trying my best to stay alert to everything going on.

I tried my best to believe that everything was going to be alright but it was hard. I had been shot on a ship that is sinking. We probably had missed all the boats and now we would have to try and survive the sinking in that freezing cold water. I knew the odds were stacked against us, especially me. I just prayed we'd make it out alive.

Well that was unexpected...I hope you liked it I will update soon if I get lots and lots of reviews. As you know they make me happy! They motivate me and make me happy and shizz. Haha yeah remember to review and chapter 22 shall be up soon.
