Second chap! Please tell me what you think!


"Is there anyone alive out there? Can anybody hear me?" A voice shouted, they had come back, back to save them. She turns to look at Jack, his eyes are shut, frost creeping across his eyelashes, matted in his hair, his lips are blue his hand cold in hers. For a moment she thinks he is dead, her whole world shatters, but then she saw it. A small puff of smoke ventured from his mouth. He was alive, he was breathing.

"Jack… Jack" She said shaking the hand she's holding onto. "Jack there's a boat, Jack. Wake up please!"

Jack remained still, unmoving and cold. Another breath that was turned into smoke by the cold air escaped from his lips. Rose turned to look out over the sea, the lifeboat wasn't that far away from them, the man shone his torch in their direction.

"Help… help" Rose said feebly, her voice weekend by the cold. She managed to raise her free hand and wave at the lifeboat.

"Alive!" Shouts one of the crew "There's someone alive out there!"

His boss looks out and sees Rose "Row over, steady now"

It seemed like forever to Rose until the boat reached them.

"Hello miss" The man said, holding out his hands "Come into the boat, we'll help you know"

"Get him in first" She said, shaking Jacks hand "He needs help first, I can't let go"

The man looked over at Jacks frozen body. "Miss, I think he's dead miss" the man said quietly.

"He's not" Rose insisted "He's… He's not dead" She said, using her free hand to stroke Jacks face.

"Miss, please get in the boat now miss" The man pleaded.

"Not until you get him in, he's not dead, he's alive" Rose said. The man pleaded with Rose to no avail.

"Ok men" He said finally, giving up "Get him in, and her"

"Thank you" Rose said as they pulled Jack into the boat, Rose freeing her hand from his grip. Rose was helped into the boat and a blanket pulled around her shoulders.

"I know its hard miss" The man said as the others rowed. "But he's dead"

"He's not watch" She said, pulling the torch out of his hand into hers and shining it on Jacks face. Sure enough a puff of breath escaped from Jacks lips once more.

The mans eyes widened in shock. "More blankets" He shouted "He's unconscious we need to wake him up."

More blankets were thrown over Jack and the man went to help the others row. Rose leaned over Jack and kissed his cold cheek. She grasped his hand with both of hers and began to whisper softly into his ear.

"Wake up Jack" She whispered leaning towards his ear "You can do it, wake up Jack for me please?" She begged, but Jack remained unconsois.

A hour or so later the man came over to Rose. The boat had now moved away from the ship and was out in the clear water, not far from the other boats.

"You should sleep miss" He said to her.

"I'm not until he wakes up" She said defiantly. "He will need me"

"What if I wake you as soon as he does?" The man suggested.

"Ok" Rose reluctantly accepted, as much as she didn't want to leave Jack, she was really tired and she knew that now, they were safe.

Rose lay beside Jack, pulling her blanket around her and slowly slipped into a peaceful sleep.
