by jamie2006

Rose and her daughter Opal are living in the year 1915, and Rose is still thinking about Jack and Cal. But what if Cal comes back. Maybe Jack is still alive, maybe not. There is alot of suspence in this story!

2. Cal is back

Rose could still hear the band playing that beautiful music as the Titanic sank out from under her and Jack. It was amazing that over all the gun shots and bombs from the war she could still hear that heavenly music. The bombing had now stopped, Rose thought to herself. Opal started crying when the bombs and gun shots silenced. "Let's go to bed Opal", sighed Rose.

As Rose walked from the kitchen to Opal's room she remembered the drawing. "I would love to see that drawing again" Whispered Rose, to herself. As Rose lied put Opal in her crib she stared in amazement of how much she looked like Jack. "Your daddy would have loved you very much" Rose said to Opal, who was asleep. "Good night, I love you" Rose said to Opal as she walked out of the room to her room.

It was the dawn of a new morning and Opal had already been up crying. Rose got up to change her and feed her. After they had eaten Rose got ready and she and Opal went out into town for some groceries. "Excuse me miss, you look very familiar." Some man said to Rose. "Well I don't recognize you." Said Rose in a soft voice. The man was dressed in rags and had dry blood on his face. He had scratches all over his body. Rose knew the voice, it was very familiar, it was a deep voice. The man talked about his past a little, but it was what had happened to him in 1912 that made Rose realize who this man was. "What is your name miss?" Said the man. "Rose is my name" answered Rose very softly, as if she did not want the man to know. "May I ask what your name is?" "Oh Rose you mean you don't remember me?" " I don't want to remember you!" Screamed Rose very loudly. "Perhaps we could meet over dinner and talk about old times." said Cal "You can even invite Jack if you like." Rose started crying hysterically. "Jack died when the ship sank." Said Rose while still crying. " Oh Rose I am sorry." Said Cal, very understanding. "I will have dinner with you tonight if you like, but I have no money." "That is okay I have a friend who will let us eat for free at his restaurant." Said Cal.
