The Sea Star

Chapter 5: A Threat

NAR: After a while Rose realized how late it was and decided that she needed to go home.

(In a worried voice)R: Jack, I have to go. The apartment owner will be asking for rent, and I have to explain to her why I don't have the money and...

J: Then here take this.

NAR: Jack handed her 10.00.

J: You need this more than I do.

R: But how did you...

J: I'll explain later, but listen...I want you to move in with me tomorrow.

R: Well...OF COURSE I WILL! But when should I come over? What should I bring?

J: Just bring everything and come whenever. I'll be here all day tomorrow.

R: Okay...I love you.

J: I love you too.

NAR: Then they kissed and Rose left. She felt like nothing could go wrong and that everything was gonna be perfect like a fairy tale. But all that changed when she returned home.

NAR: Rose opened her door and someone was sitting on her bed. That someone, was Cal Hockley.

C: Hello, Rose. Had a nice evening?

R: What the He are you doing here?

C: Oh just coming to check up on you.

R: Bull. What are you really doing here?

C: Well, I think you can tell me something that will really make my day.

R: Oh yeah. Like what?

C: I think you know that Jack is alive.

NAR: Rose froze in fear.

R: W...why would you ask me that? Of course he's dead. He wasn't on the survivor list.

C: Rose, you know as well as I do that Jack won those tickets in a poker game. So don't even pretend you think he's dead. I swear, I am going to hunt him down myself and kill him no matter what it takes. I know he's in New York. So don't be surprised if you wake up one morning and Jack's bloody rotting corpse is right next to you.

(With sarcasm) R: I'll make note of that.

NAR: Cal walked out of the room and left. Rose was shocked but paid no mind to what Cal had just said. Instead, she went to bed; dreaming of her new life with Jack that awaited her.


You know what, I'm going to write this story normally from now on and not with J: and R: okay...okay.
