Sorry, know this chapter's really short!
Friends?
"No!", Rose broke the embrace, choking back tears, she shook her head and ran off, stumbling, towards the sanctuary of the dark dunes.
"Rose wait! I'm sorry, I." realizing that Rose wasn't listening he stopped trying to explain, "I'm such an idiot, why'd I have to go and do that?" Jason berated himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning when Jason went searching for Rose he found her sitting on the beach, staring at things only she could see.
"Rose?" he said hesitantly. She didn't acknowledge him by turning her head, instead she just started to speak "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run off like that last night" "you startled me that's all"
"Rose if anyone should be apologizing it's me, I shouldn't have let my feelings get the better of me like that" "Give me a chance, please Rose?"
"I'm sorry but, well I haven't been entirely fair with you either, I should have told you before, it-
"Is there someone else?"
"No, not exactly" and so, Rose proceeded to tell Jason about the Titanic and Jack. "I'm not saying that I don't care for you as a friend, because I do, it's just that I'll never be able to love anyone again, not after Jack".
"I understand, can I take it that we are still friends then?" Jason asked, he was not being entirely honest with Rose, for even though he did understand, he was not a man who gave up easily, and he did not intend to give up on Rose, he was sure that if he just gave her some time, well given time who knows what might happen?
