Edward and Philip watched the lifeboat descend.

"I didn't know, Edward. I'm so sorry." Philip said.

"What could you do, it's not your fault." Ed shrugged.

"I could've noticed! I should've… done something. Dammit."

"Well yeah, maybe I should've confronted her more." he breathed. "What's done is done. It's like this night, there's no going back from this. Titanic will sink and we—"

His speech was interrupted by screams coming from below. Both him and Philip leaned over the railing to see what has happened. It was Estella who jumped out of the boat and Elaine was preparing to do the same.

"No, Elaine, stay in the boat!" shouted Philip.

Elaine looked around herself in distress and then back at her brother.

"I can't, she's my sister!"

She jumped after her sister, but unfortunately for her, she wasn't so precise like her sister, who was already pulled onboard, and slipped. She screamed, barely holding onto the railing.

"Elaine!" Philip screamed before he ran to find his sisters.

When Elaine was onboard again, she didn't know which way Estella went. She ignored all questions coming from worried passengers and started running up the deck. She didn't know where she was going, but she didn't have much of a choice. Only way out was up.

She met with Philip near the grand staircase. He took her by the shoulders and shook her, but in a gentle brotherly way. He was feeling all kinds of the emotions. He was so angry, he wanted to yell and scold her, yet so worried he just wanted to hug her and take her to safety again.

"You're so stupid, Elaine! Why'd you do?!" he said with tears in his eyes.

"She's my sister…" Elaine sobbed.

"She's not just your sister! She's my sister as well!"

"I can't leave without her…" she was choking on her tears.

"If I couldn't save both of you, at least I could've saved one! Don't you wanna live, Elaine?! Hm?!"

"Philip!" she shouted and her voice cracked. "Either we go together or not at all." she looked him in the eyes. "I can understand that you'll have to wait for your turn," her eyes filled with tears again, knowing how much of a chance he actually got "but I need her. I need someone of my own with me."

Philip's heart was breaking. He pulled her in a hug, closing his eyes and letting hot tears roll down his cheeks. He squeezed her tight and rubbed her back.

"I love you so much," he murmured into her hair.

Elaine took a sharp breath in before saying "I love you, too."

They gave themselves a freedom to steal these couple of moments, but they had no time to waste anymore. Philip was first to pull back.

"Tell me, did something happened before she jumped out?"

She frowned, thinking.

"Yes, actually. She was chanting something incomprehensible under her breath. I asked her if she's alright and she just looked at me before she… did what she did."

Philip nodded his head. "Do you know where she might've gone?"

"I didn't see in which direction she ran off, but there's only much places she could be." she sniffed.

"I'll look for her." Edward came from behind Philip.

"No, I will. You get Elaine—"

"You heard your other sister, Philip. She needs you now, you two need to stick together. Let me go find her."

"Alright," he answered, heavy heartedly. "Come, Elaine." he took her by the hand.

Out on deck, things are becoming more and more chaotic. Almost all of the lifeboats were going and now they were preparing to launch the collapsibles. On the starboard side, Wilde, Moody and Murdoch were preparing to launch Collapsible A.

"Get those oars in place. Get an oar under it." Wilde shouted out the orders.

"Hold it. Hold it. Hold it!"

William Murdoch jumped from the top. He looked down the passage and saw water rising fast.

"Get these davits cranked in! Let's get the falls hooked up!" he rushed to help and prepare the boat.

"Stop pushing! Stay back!" William was shouting at any man who tried to get in the way. "I'll shoot any man who tries to get past me! Get back! Get back!" he repeated more sternly.

"Women and children only!" Wilde yelled.

Officers could no longer hold back the crowd for some of the men went around them which led shots to be fired.

"Now stand back, damn you!" Wilde warned.

Harold Bride rushed and stumbled to get to the Marconi room where he found his mate still working hard.

"The boat decks are wash." he said, but was ignored. "Come on, let's clear out! We've done our duty!" still, no response. "Come on if you want to be saved, for Christ's sake!" he screamed.

"I'm not going!" Jack Philips finally replied.

Bride twirled around in frustration. Finally, he took the lifebelt he brought with him and put it over Jack's head.

"You're mad." he commented while doing so.

Jack was annoyed, but appreciated the gesture and concern. They said their farewells before Bride left the room.

Edward was ready to give up looking for his fiancée and try to save himself when he heard muffled sobs. Technically, she was still his fiancée for they have never officially broke off the engagement and she was still wearing his ring. He looked around, following the sounds of sniffling.

"There you are." he said in the most sympathetic way he could.

He found her curled up on the floor in the corner. Tears were streaming down her face. She didn't seem to notice him or if she did, she was ignoring him. She stared right ahead of her, but wasn't looking at anything in particular. Edward took a deep breath and kneeled down in front of here.

"Estella, we need to go," he said calmly.

"Go away. Leave me alone." her voice was shaky.

He frowned, thinking of what he could tell her. He knew he needed to convince her somehow.

"I… I'm not doing this for myself." he started. "I'm doing this because of your parents and your brother and sister. You did a stupid thing, Estella, jumping out of that boat. You almost costed Elaine her life!"

She finally acknowledged him.

"She jumped right after you. Because she loves you. Because she wants you to be safe. Because she needs her big sister with her, Estella." he looked intensively into her eyes.

"But why? I ruined everything…" she leaned her head back on the wall. "I have nowhere to go."

Edward's attention was caught with the water coming from under the door. He needed to get them out of there fast.

"Don't be silly. You had a few minor fall outs, sibling stuff, it's all forgotten."

"I cheated on you, Edward!" she screamed in the empty room. "With a married man, no less!" she burst into tears again. "I was so jealous and greedy at Elaine that I didn't want to believe it, but now—" she choked.

The room was filling with water faster and faster. He needed to try a different method.

"Estella, stop thinking of your selfish ways and think of your family. What would you rather, give them eternal grief and guilt if you don't get up and save yourself or die here like coward?" he took her by the shoulders and shook her. "You wanted to achieve something in life, didn't you? To be known?" she nodded her head. "Then you can't do that if you die here tonight."

"They would disown me." she said, now sitting in the water. "If they knew. They would disown me."

Edward run a hand down his face and hair. Water was up to his ankles. Estella was a sad scene before him. He decided to sit next to her.

"They don't know. And I'm ready to forgive you, if you want to. If not, we still have time to think of something why we decided to split up."

"Can I ask you something?" she didn't wait for his answer. "Why are you so good to me?"

The question caught him off guard. He let out a nervous laugh.

"I… don't know. You are not a bad person, Estella. You are just… misunderstood." he somewhat gave her an answer, but couldn't do it justice for there was no particular reason. Except that, maybe, he was still in love with her.

"Hm." was all she said after.

They were now sitting in the waist high water in silence listening to growling and creaking of the ship every now and then.

"Hey, is it after midnight?" suddenly she asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes, why?" he chuckled for no reason at all.

"Happy birthday, Edward."

On the way out on the boat deck again, Elaine spotted a familiar figure.

"Wait, wait, wait." she pulled Philip back. "Mr. Andrews!"

"Oh, Elaine."

"Won't you even make a try for it?" she approached him.

"I'm sorry that I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Elaine."

The ship creaked.

"It's going fast. We have to move." Philip took Elaine by the hand again and pulled her.

"Wait." Mr. Andrews stopped them. "Good luck to you, Elaine. To both of you." he looked at them with teary eyes.

"And to you." Elaine blinked away the tears and hugged him, before Philip rushed her again.

On the port side, Lightoller was responsible for launching Collapsible B.

"Gently, gently. Hold it. Hold it." he shouted.

Their attempt was unsuccessful and the boat broke through the ramp and landed upside-down on the deck.

"Get the falls over here now!" Lightoller ordered. "Let them drop. Then we'll right it."

But there was no time to right it. Titanic was reaching her final moments.
