1Finding Jack again was the best and worst moment. It was the best because I love him, even after so many years. It was the worst because I know I can't fully be with him. Even if I left with him, Cal would have found me. As I prepared for bed Cal came in and gave me the Heart of the Ocean. Its heavy and just another jewel he thought could buy my love. I will never love him and I wish he understood that.
The next day I went to see Jack. We talked about what we have been doing with our lives since we parted. I love talking to Jack, he makes me feel so much better when he smiles. He asked me to go to a third class dance. I gladly went and we had a wonderful time.
The next day would turn out to be the worst day of my life. Jack pulled me to the side when I was taking a tour with mother and Cal.
"Rose, I don't know how to tell you this but I'm in love with you. I can't stand by watching Cal abuse you and try to possess you. I have ten bucks in my pocket and I don't have much to offer you."
"Jack, I can't I have a life here now with Mother and Cal. I just can't leave it all behind. I-I love Cal."
"I don't believe your Rose."
"Well it doesn't matter-I'm going back."
While drinking tea with mother, I saw a little girl trying to act perfect. It reminded me of how mother was with me when I was a child. I realized I had to break free and do what I wanted for once in my life. I excused myself and went to find Jack right away. When I found him he was at the bow of the ship.
"Hello Jack, I've changed my mind."
He turned around and gave me one of those big, goofy smiles. I couldn't help but smile back. The rest of the night went quickly. Jack drew a naked portrait of me and I never felt more of a rush in my life. We then went to the Renault and had sex. It was our first time and I didn't regret it one bit.
Then the iceberg hit. The whole time Jack made sure I was going to be okay. He made sure I got into a lifeboat. Even though I jumped out of it to stay with him. When the ship started sinking, Jack made sure we got to the top and held on. I almost lost him again when the ship went into the ocean and we got separated. However, he found me and made me get on a piece of wood.
"The boat will be coming back soon for us Rose."
"I can't feel my body."
"I intend to write a strongly worded letter to the White Star Lines about all this."
"I love you Jack."
"Don't you do that. Don't say your goodbyes. You are gonna make it Rose. Your gonna die an old lady warm in her bed. Do you hear me Rose. Not here, not now. Your gonna go on and make babies and watch them grow. "
"I'm so cold."
"Listen to me Rose, winning that ticket and seeing you again was the best thing that ever happened to me. It lead me back to you. I need to promise me something Rose. That you will go on and you wont loose hope, no matter what happens. Promise me Rose. And never let go of that promise.
"I promise Jack, I'll never let go.
That was the last thing I ever said to him. He gave me a quick kiss on my hand and closed his eyes. I wish I had done more to help keep him alive. Sometimes I even blame myself for his death. Knowing that he died for me. He saved me in so many ways, more than a person can be saved.
The next thing I remember was being lifted out of the water and falling into a deep sleep. A sleep with dreams about Jack and I. When I boarded the Carpathia, I nearly ran into Cal, but kept a blanket over my red curls. When I got off the Carpathia, I was ready to start my new life. A new life that did not consist of Mother, Cal, or money. However, I realized that I had the Heart of the Ocean and money that Cal put into his jacket. This would help me start my new life.
"Can I take your name please, love?"
"Dawson, Rose Dawson."
I was ready to start a new life and hopefully Jack would help me through it.
Sorry about taking forever on the update. I had a major case of writers block. I also have a dawsons creek fanfiction, so I am trying to jumble everything evenly. OO im sorry about the whole jack speech, I know some of its wrong but I didn't use the script so I tried my best to remember and add things in there. One more thing lol I know I was very bland about the titanic part but I am gonna focus more on roses life after it. Ok thanks please r/r!
