A few months later…
Jacks POV
"My client wasn't holding Miss Rose DeWitt Bukater hostage at some cheap hotel so he could see her suffer, Mr. Dawson is in love with the girl, and she loves him back, she agreed to go with him." A man named Trent who was fighting on my side argued.
"Nonsense! Dawson was keeping her there under her will, she was crying and running out of the place when my associates saw her." Cal protested.
"Mr. Hockley, try and control your outbursts. Dawson, you may speak." Says the judge.
"Rose and I are madly in love, this all seems as a big miss understanding as she was engaged to Mr. Hockley whilst boarding the Titanic, but we met on the Titanic and she's just… amazing, and I love her." I say, and I meant it. Ever since being in the jail yards and spending nights alone in a cold, small prison cell, I've been getting images of what happened with me and her, and most nights I get nightmares about when the ship was sinking.
"Considering Miss Bukater is away on this day due to sickness, we need to continue this discussion later, Jack Dawson will be held in a prison cell for the next 5 weeks while we wait for another trial, Mr. Hockley you will go back to your normal life. Meeting adjourned."
Roses POV
"This doesn't make sense Rose, you're throwing up every morning, lunch, afternoon, and tea and yet you still look like you've put on weight." Mother tells me as I sit at the wooden table sipping my glass of water.
"I've been stress eating a lot lately." I say.
"Don't be so dramatic."
"You take away everything I love."
"I do not, now finish your water and get ready for bed."
"You do so, it's like you don't want to see me happy, living a normal life."
"I want to see you happy!" she yells, "but without these debts paid, I cannot." She adds.
"Goodnight mother, I hope next time you get attached to something it either shatters, or gets ruined." I purse my lips at her and twist around onto my feet, storming out of the room and up the big stairs.
'Mother doesn't know a good thing when she has it, even when it's right in front of her. If she wants to take away my freedom and happiness, then so be it.' I pull out a big suitcase and start filling it with all my belongings.
