He was gazing up at the stars, half-asleep and yet half-alert...He sighed as he put his ciggy to his lips, his eyes staring up at the tiny pinpricks of light.
Jack had always wanted this lifeNo worries, not a care in the world...Just him and the world under his feet. Of course there was the slight denture in his trip on the Titanic. The high class snobs who pushed and poked him around, wrinkling up their noses in distaste whenever he walked past. The rich who would judge him on the spot, who would snigger at his ruffled and ragged look.But if that was what he had to deal with if he wanted this life...then Jack would happily oblige.
He shifted on the cold bench, and he blew out a long trail of smoke, lost in the sea breeze.
Suddenly, Jack heard a flurry of steps, gasps and sobs.
He sat up and saw the beautiful young lady he saw before...Her red hair flying out behind her, and her dress billowing in the wind. She was sobbing and she leaned over the rails, catching her breath.
Jack raised his eyebrows.
The girl seemed to calm down a bit, but she was gazing down at the sea in a strange manner that put Jack into full alert mode. She slowly climbed up onto the rails and Jack stood, alarmed. Crap, he thought, She'sgonna jump...
The girl was on the other side of the rails, the only thing preventing her from falling was her hands that were clutched tightly on the rails behind her. Jack slowly and cautiously sauntered towards her, looking as if his was the sort of thing that he saw every day
"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I was you." He said casually, walking closer towards the distressed girl.
(Note: This isn't a correct version from the movie...I apologize for that, but I decided to kinda make it different from the movie. -)
The girl turned her head so that she could see him. "S-Stay away! Don't come any closer!" She gasped.
Jack raised his hands. "I'm not...I'm just saying...I don't think that's a very good idea."
"What do you mean?" The girl snapped, although she lost some of the menace from her shaking voice.
Jack took this as an opportunity to walk even closer. He leaned forwards and he nodded at the raging sea. "Well...That's not exactly warm, you see." He took a step closer, and the girl gazed down at the sea with wide eyes.
"If you jumped, you'd freezed almost at once. I mean, geez...that's not exactly your hot bath." Jack's mouth twitched into a small smile as he saw the girl having second thoughts.
"How would you know?" The girl shot at him, uncertainty quivering in her voice.
Jack leaned against the rails, and he could now see the girl clearly. She was shivering in the cold and her eyes were red from crying. He couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.
"Well...you see, I fell into an frozen lake when I was a kid in the middle of winter. I nearly died from the cold...and I can tell you, I had never felt pain like that."
The girl turned away from him, so he couldn't see her reaction.
Jack shrugged. "Well, as I said, I don't think it's a good idea if you jumped."
The girl shot him a glare and she breathed in deeply.
Jack sighed. He pulled off his boots and he started taking off his jacket. The girl turned and saw what he was doing.
"What-What are you doing?"
Jack shrugged. "Well you see, lady, if you jump, I have no choice but to jump in after you."
He began tugging off his socks.
The girl frowned.
"And" Jack continued, "I don't really want to jump in you see...Cause, It's freeing down there, and, well, I'm not looking forward to that. So if you jump, then I have to jump in too."
"But...Why?"
"Well someone's gotta save you, when you hit that water. You'd want to be saved-trust me."
The girl sighed and she shook her head.
Jack smiled as he watched the girl climb onto the rails. She looked up at him and they stared at each other for a moment.
Suddenly, the girl's foot slipped and before Jack could yell out anything, she fell.
He rushed over to where she was and he leaned over.
"Thank God!" He breathed as he saw her dangling by one hand.
"Help me Please!" The girl screamed.
Jack reached down and he grappled for her hand. "Grab my hand"
The girl grabbed desperately onto his hands and he tried to pull her up. She slipped and she screamed in terror. Jack climbed over the rails and he dangled dangerously with one hand on the cold rails and one hand trying to reach the girl's. Finally, he managed to grab onto her hand and he began pulling her up. She grabbed onto the rails and she stood up, shaking and gasping with relief. Jack climbed over and he held out his hand. The girl held his hand and let him help her over the cold rails. The girl gave a short scream as she fell onto him, and both went sprawling onto the deck.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry." The girl breathed.
Jack sat up next to her and he smiled. "No, it's alright."
He looked up as a crowd of high class people ran onto the deck.
"You! Get off her!" A man strode forwards in anger and he grabbed Jack roughly. He pulled him up onto his feet and Jack groaned inwardly. Obviously, it looked as if he had tried to 'get some' with the girl.
"Arrest this man!" The man yelled, and Jack was pushed onto the ground, handcuffs clasped around his wrists, painful cold.
"No!" Jack heard the girl yell. He looked up and saw her stand up, pushing her mother's hand away from her. She went up to the man. "He saved my life! Let this man go"
Jack sighed in relief.
The man looked taken back but he nodded curtly at the police who took the handcuffs off. Jack stood up straight and he rubbed his wrists.
The man walked up to him, awkwardly. "Um...well...I dare say...Good job." He smiled but his eyes looked at him with pure coldness. "Why don't you dine with us? As a thank you?"
Jack nodded, "Yeah...Alright."
The crowd shifted off the deck, and the girl was bustled away. Before she disappeared from sight, she glanced over her shoulder and gave him a small smile.
Jack sighed. This wasn't exactly the life he had planned for...but hell. He liked it. A lot
