Rose's Prov
I was running down the stairs, as quickly as I could. I was running to the place where the master at arms took the arrested. I threw open the door, Causing Thomas Andrews to jump startled. He was arrested for a misunderstanding. I was trying to jump off the back of the ship, when he saved me. Though when the fellow officers came they assumed he was trying to have his way with me, and arrested him.
"I'm so sorry!" I said, as I unlocked his handcuffs. "Wha…" He said before encasing me in his arms. "Cal's abusive, and so is my mom… I can't stay there anymore… That's why I was trying to kill myself last night…" I said, tears cascading down my cheeks. "Miss.. Dewit…" "Rose." I said, looking up at him. "Rose, It'll be alright. I promise." "Rose." Lovejoy's voice said as he came over. I felt Thomas gently push me behind him.
"Hey, I come in peace. I told Cal that when we arrive in the states I'm going to be quitting, and I wasn't going to let him hurt Rose anymore… I'm here to help protect her. I already told the officers, that the story you told last night was true. You're free to go." Thomas's protective stance relaxed. "I want to talk to Rose, about it before we accept the help." Thomas stated, as I said "I actually don't want to think about it, Mr. Andrews… I want to accept the help…" Thomas said "Rose, Call me Thomas." Lovejoy said "So, What do you say?" I looked at Thomas, who said "You really trust him?" I looked at Lovejoy before back to Thomas and said "I do, With my life. He's the only one whose treated me like a daughter ever since we met. He's even tried protecting me every single time when my mother and Cal tried to beat me…" Lovejoy smiled, to me.
"And I know about the engagement between you too… Rose told me. But I didn't tell Cal, or your mother." I looked to Thomas, as his arm wrapped around me. "Then, Lovejoy, I think we'd be stupid not to accept your help, and when we arrive in the states, I'd be honored if you'd come work for us. Cal and her mother might not stop searching for her, and honestly, I'd feel better having someone we both trust." Lovejoy smiled, wide before saying "I accept. Thanks, Mr…" "Thomas. Please." Thomas replied. "Thanks, Thomas." They shook hands, before Lovejoy said "Until we get there though, I'm still working for Cal… But Rose's safety is my top priority. But tomorrow, I want to talk just the three of us, about a plan, if something goes wrong." Thomas said "If something goes wrong, take her down to third class, ask for Jack Dawson, Charlotte Dawson, Fabrizio De Rossi, Aurora De Rossie and Tommy Ryan. I mentioned I may need their help after seeing how horrible she looked, this morning. Once she's safe there, come find me." Lovejoy nodded. "Perfect. Rose we should get back… Cal was angry that you were not in your room, That's when I told him I was leaving when we arrived in the states. He was going to go after you, but I told him it was my job, and that's when I chased after you."
"I don't give a shit how he feels." I said, with an eye roll. Lovejoy and Thomas chuckled, and Lovejoy said "We should get back…" I said "Okay…" Lovejoy turned his head, as Thomas said "I'll see you tomorrow, I promise." He gently pressed his lips against mine, which I happily returned. "Sleep well my love." He whispered, as I left with Lovejoy. Once we returned, I went to my room, only to back towards the door, which was shut, and locked leaving me with Cal and my mother. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" I shrunk back. "Just… leave… me… alone…" I stammered. I was afraid. Before I could even process anything I was knocked onto the floor and kicked hard. I must've passed out then.
When I came too, I was naked on the ground, with a strong ache. I couldn't remember anything. I heard a knock. "Rose?" I sat up pulling my robe on. "It's open…" I said, as the door opened. "Are you alright?" Lovejoy asked, touching my cheek lightly, causing me to push it off. "No…" Lovejoy frowned. "What happened?" I shrugged. "I don't know… But…" Lovejoy said "Well I'm going to figure something out. Just hang in there…" I nodded. "I'll leave you to get dressed." I nodded as he stepped out and mother stepped in, tightened my corset tighter than any normal human could tolerate. Once I was dressed I went out to the others. "You better be on your best behavior." Both Cal and my mother said, as we headed to breakfast with Lovejoy close. "I'll be there in a moment… I need to speak to someone first…" Lovejoy announced, causing me to look up with a raised eyebrow. He winked discreetly to me, and I knew who he was going to speak to.
In the dining area, I sat between my mom and Cal, neither one of them letting me eat. I looked across the room, spotting Lovejoy. His eyes caught mine, as he came over, which is when I was rudely dismissed. I went over to Lovejoy, as we stepped in the halls. "Thomas told you to meet him in third class. He's doing some work down there today." "Will you walk down with me…?" He said "I can't, unfortunately. I got a few things to do up here. Trust me, You'll like what Thomas and I have in store…" I nodded. "Take the elevator down to C deck, then go down the last flight of stairs." I nodded, again and followed his instructions. When I finally was on the steps, there was a rouge wave, and I fell down the rest of the steps. "Oww…" I moaned. "Is that…" "It is! Tommy Help me." I heard a couple of men's voices, as they came over to help me. "Don't touch me…" I begged, fearfully. "Come on, Miss… L et us help you…" One of the men said, as he helped me put my arm around his neck. "NO! PLEASE NO!" I cried. "Rose?" "THOMAS!" I cried, as he came over, kneeling next to me. "Rose. Honey… I'm right here." He whispered, causing me to look up at him. "I'm right here, sweetie. I'm right here." He pressed his lips on my head.
I looked at him, my eyes gently gestured to the other two men that were here. "Jack, Tommy… Give us a moment?" "Of course!" They went off but not before Tommy gave a paper to Thomas. "Come on." He helped me up and to the cabin, and set me on the bed. "Hey sweetie, talk to me." "I don't give a shit how… But get me out of there…" I said, grabbing his hand. "What happened? You look frightened.. And pale!" He stated, drawing hearts on the back of my hand. "I'm not sure what happened… But I know I don't feel safe…" "Well tell me what you do remember, Maybe I could help you put the pieces of what happened together." I took a deep breath, as I said "Mother and Cal were in my room I remember trying to escape. But I got knocked down, and must've passed out…" "Okay… When you came to?" I said "I was on the ground… Naked. Horrible pain… I was raped a month ago by Murdoch… I pretended to be unconscious during the whole thing… But This hurt so much more than the first rape… I don't know if it was due to his… size… or what… This felt worse…"
Thomas said "Okay… So you think Cal raped you?" His eyes, were soft, concerned. "I'm sorry…" I felt tears fall. "I understand if you want someone who is pure…" I stated, which caused Thomas to move, from kneeling in front of me to beside me, his arms encasing my body, pulling me into his lap. "Oh hell no. You're my wife." I laid my head on his chest. "What if I'm pregnant…?" I asked. "Then the baby will be so loved, and will bear my last name. I will claim the child as my own." My eyes locked on his, as tears fell. "I…" "Rose, Marry me. Tonight. We'll do it in secret." Thomas said, letting my exhausted body relax. "Let's do it." Thomas said "Tonight." I nodded. "Is it okay if I take a nap? Do you know anywhere where safe I can? I'm sorry… I'm just so exhausted…" Thomas said "Yeah I know a few places… Tommy, Jack, Charlotte, Fabrizio and Aurora told me we can use their room, which is this one… The other one is my room, and the third is the adjoining room. It's a room connected to mine, but you have your own bed and bath, but there's a door connecting it to mine."
"Can we stay here for now? I mean, it might be easier, since my leg is hurting horribly so is my arm…" Thomas said "Oh, of course honey. Do you want me to take a look at your arm and leg? See if I need to get Dr. Simpson or Dr. O'Loughlin?" I felt him lay be down on the bed, beside him, as I nodded. He quickly looked at my arm and leg. "Alright, they don't look broken…" I yawned, nodding. "So just try and sleep. I'll come down and get you for dinner, or I'll send Lovejoy… I'll also talk to the guys to tell them not to disturb." I nodded falling asleep.
When I woke up Lovejoy was there at my side. We went up to dinner, and ate, okay well everyone but me. Mother and Cal doing what they do best. Ruining my life. After dinner, I was walking out on deck, with Lovejoy, when we hit a bunch of horrible waves which knocked me over the railing which I gripped for dear life, my leg smashing against the ship. "LOVEJOY! HELP ME!" I cried. "Hang on, Rose!" He said, as he reached down grabbing my hand. "I got you!" He helped me back over and to my feet, but I dropped to the deck. "Oww…" I landed on my arm, wincing, causing Lovejoy to kneel beside me. "Rose, You're going to be alright, I promise…" "Mr. Lovejoy… Is everything alright?" "No, Can you help me, Mr. Lightoller, and Mr. Lowe? I need one of you to help me get her to the nurses and one to get Mr. Andrews." Lovejoy lifted me up into his arms, where I felt tears fall. "We'll take care of it. You get her to the infirmary."
Once I was in the infirmary I said "I want Thomas." I whimpered. "I'll see if I can see him." Lovejoy stepped out, and before I knew it, Thomas was at my side. "Hey honey… Did Dr. O'Loughlin or Dr. Simpson see you yet or just Nurse Simpson?" I said "Just the nurse…" "What happened?" He sat beside me on the bed. "Those wretched waves… I almost got knocked overboard… Lovejoy saved me, but not before I smashed my leg, on the side, and when I stood, I couldn't stand and I fell… I'm so…." Thomas shook his head, and kissed my head, "It's alright." Just then an older gentleman came in. "Hi, I'm Dr. Simpson. I'll be taking care of you." he preformed an exam, and said "I agree with Nurse Simpson's diagnosis. You're pregnant, and you have a broken leg, and arm…" I felt Thomas's gaze on me, as I said "Thank you." He cast up my arm and leg, before him and I went up to the chapel where we secretly got married. After we went to his cabin, me going to the adjoining room, seeing all my things. "Wh…" I started confused.
Thomas entered and said "Sweetie are you alright?" "How did all my things get here?" I asked. "I asked Lovejoy. I told him my gut was telling me something was wrong, and I told him what I was planning, but didn't know how I'd get everything set." I said "This is perfect1" I turned to face him, as He kissed my lips, returning the kiss. "Thank you." I whispered. We quickly got ready for our wedding night, before we celebrated our marriage, best we could with my pain, and and broken leg and arm. After we finished together, we fell asleep in each others arms.
