A/N: ok so we all know that the last chapter was rather boring and I owe you guys a good chapter and 16aqua never breaks her word!
So here we go!
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN TITANIC!
The following morning Jack and I spent the morning moving furniture about and getting settled in. I knew we weren't going to stay for long, just until the two of us could survive the cold winter before we moved along.
I was one of those people who can't stay in one spot for too long as was Jack. After we fixed things up to our liking we went out to explore the town. Small town, but it was best that it was near the ocean. Despite out bad luck with the ocean, I positively loved it!
Jack and I sat down on a boardwalk near the sea and I began to sketch the snowfall as it danced above the sea.
"Oh it's beautiful!" I breathed.
"I know, it's just as beautiful as you." He replied in a dreamy voice.
"Oh Jack."
I added in the snowflakes and drew the waves when they crashed into the sides. I closed my sketch book and we continued to go step by step through the town. I was pleased that I was with Jack; I was never good at directions.
Finally we steered ourselves back home. I took off my jacket and stretched out on one of the couches.
"Wait, wait! Don't move!" Jack ordered putting his hand up.
"Why?" I asked.
He sat down on the opposite couch after tossing off his jacket and pulled out his sketch pad.
"Jack! Haven't you done a portrait of me already?" I asked with a smile.
"Yes but I want one of you like this. Now put your hand up here by your head and the other one stretched across your stomach with your palms out." He said.
I did as I was told and relaxed my face.
"Good now don't move."
Jack dimmed the lights a bit and put on his serious face. He began to draw and moments ticked by very slowly. At occasions he would look up or move a strand of hair out of his face.
As soon as that wonderful moment had come, it ended. Jack showed me the picture and it turned out beautifully. He tacked it up right next to the one I had drawn of him.
"We both belong together." He whispered in my ear.
"I know. I've always known." I replied softly.
One moment we were smiling, the next we were making out. (A/N: No further details will be included).
Later that day I was cooking dinner, something else that I randomly threw together hoping it would make something. Jack was building up his strength by taking a nap, sweat beaded his forehead.
I smiled to myself and was humming a tune I had heard recently. Suddenly the doorbell rang just as I had finished making something. I turned off the stove and opened the door a crack.
Two police officers were at the door, looking rather mean.
"Excuse me ma'am. Maine Police Department and we've heard you have an escaped convict from Ireland."
"Damn it!" My mind screamed.
"Yes give me one minute please." I said and before they could protest I slammed the door shut.
Jack jolted upward.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"The cops are here for you! Let's go now!" I said hurriedly.
Jack tore the drawings off the wall, grabbed our sketch pads and headed for the back window.
"Ma'am open the door now or we will break it down!" The cop ordered.
"Come on!" Jack said.
We climbed through the window and raced down the street, making random turns and trying to stay in the shadows. Now we had done it. Now we were both wanted convicts.
We stopped after about five miles, both of us completely out of breath and collapsed against an alley wall.
"That was close." Jack panted, almost laughing.
"No kidding." I replied smiling.
Suddenly we heard sirens blaring coming from down the streets.
"Oh damn!" Jack cursed.
Suddenly the cop car headlights spotted us in the alley and we jumped over the fence. As we ran through the alley we ended up right back at the main street where two more cars were waiting.
The cops got into the car and started chasing us. We ran trying to beat the cars but they sped up. Abruptly Jack pushed me into an opposite alley and the cars kept chasing him as he went in a different one, climbing over a fence.
One car did a U-turn and came after me. I understood what Jack had done and ran down the alley hearing the deafening blare of the siren and the cop shouting for me to stop. When I came to a rather large chain link fence I slowly began to climb it.
The car stopped and the cop got out.
"Come down now!" He ordered.
"Heck no!" I replied and kept climbing.
When I reached the top however I accidentally fell off the fence and crashed down nearly cracking my skull. My head throbbed and stars danced in front of my eyes. To top it all off my stomach was twisting up on me.
I staggered down the alley trying to focus but I couldn't. I sat down on something and fell into a pool of black darkness.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o a few hours later
I don't know how long it was I was out, but the afternoon had suddenly turned into night. I climbed out of a dumpster and rolled onto the ground. My stomach was still in knots and my head was still throbbing.
I staggered out of the alley, trying to remember what I had been doing before I blacked out. It hit me like a ton of bricks.
Jack! The cops! Everything!
I made my way out to the empty streets, the stars glittered the nighttime sky.
Everything was perfect. I was lost, cold, alone, and in pain.
But worst of all…
I didn't know where Jack was.
A/N: Man the police are really on there butts aren't they? This was to mean no offense to anyone who knows a cop! Anyway I'll try to update tomorrow my lovely reviewers!
-16aqua OUT!
