AN: Now, it's back to the real story. I'm still fighting the urge to make Rose into a high society person. I'm actually working on the start of a fic if Cal actually saw Rose in the ship at the ending. Please review!

Chapter 4

Rose was enjoying the Sunday. She breezed out into the street as if she were the only person in the world. She tasted the corn being grown in the farms. She talked with the village people. She went in the
shoppes and out again barely tired with every step. She saw what it was like living without boundaries, living without rules but she also saw what it was like living without Jack. She fell to the ground beside an alleyway upon realizing this thought. She stayed there for a few minutes. Helpless. She wouldn't even help herself get up. She just stayed that way. Jack appeared before her she thought but she couldnt
see clearly. All she saw was the body of a man in front of her. Suddenly, hands started to pull her up and she felt like she was being pulled up into the heavens with Jack once again.
"Excuse me, miss."
No response. "Miss?" the man said.
Rose was conscious now but was still in a slight daze. Quite embrassed actually to be face to face with a man she never stood upright.
"Im Johnny." the man smiled. "I saw you here." he pointed to the alleyway. Rose blushed.
"If I may be so bold, why were you lying there? Did you faint?"
"No," Rose answered. Her voice sounded so heavenly to the man.
"Actually, I think so yes. Maybe I did faint. I'm sorry, mister-"
"Johnny," the man said again.
"Sorry Johnny," Rose said.

For some reason, Johnny reminded Rose of Jack. It wasnt the looks, more of the attitude but Rose turned to leave anyway. As she was going, she was pulled back by the gentleman."I'm sorry, I just need to know your name." the man said hurriedly."It's Rose." and she left.

Rose went home immediately after meeting Johnny. She slumped in the chair and looked at the time. It was getting late. She couldn't believe such time has passed. It wasn't even dark yet. No one was at
home. No Calverts, no little Caitlin, and no guest yet. Rose was starting to feel alone once again. Just like how she felt before meeting Jack and after losing him. In the midst of her realizations,
the door creaked open and Footsteps sounded. Mrs. Calvert went in,"Rose, dear. Have you moved your things? The guest has arrived." Mrs calvert's face looked swollen. As if she cried the whole trip home.
She nodded.
"Come in Johnny!" Mr. Calvert froze. That name. She embrassed herself in front of a stranger
and that was alright. But the stranger was a relative of the people that cared for her.
Johnny grinned once he saw Rose, he put down Caitlin. The girl who captured his heart just a few moments ago was standing right in front of him. Rose flushed.
"Johnny, this is Rose Dawson. Rose, Johnny Calvert." Mrs. Calvert said."Johnny's my good cousin. The only Other family member I have. He's going to live with us for awhile while he looks for work here. We're his only family and he's our only Family so you can expect he's going to live with us for some time." mr calvert told Rose.

"Hi," Rose said.
Johnny extended his hand. "Johnny Calvert, pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"Mommy! I need to go potty!" Caitlin squealed.
"Ill go with her Ma'am," Rose said.
"Great! I have to finish cooking." The matron answered.

Mr. Calvert went outside to refuel the car and to buy groceries with Caitlin. After Rose set the table and Mrs. Calvert telling Rose to go rest, Rose Dawson went in her room shared with Caitlin and fixed her
things once more. Johnny went in the room."Hi," he said.
"What are you doing here? Please, go out." She said, quite taken pulled Rose outside the room into his gently. Rose for some reason followed.
"I'm just curious, " he started. "Who are you, Rose? You're not my relative are
You? Because if you are then I'll be-"
"Be what?" rose cut.
"Then I'll be sorry. Very very sorry."
"Why did you pretend like you didn't know me awhile ago?"
"I didn't see what good it would do."
"Alright then." rose said. That excuse was good enough.
Caitlin started screaming for them. Rose and Johnny went in the dining room and sat down far from each other.
"There you are, you two!"
"Delicious dinner auntie!" Johnny exclaimed.
"But uncle, you haven't even touched it yet!" Caitlin squealed.
"Now, now, let's say our graces and then eat."
They all had a happy conversation about Johnny mosty and the the end of the meal, Mrs. Calvert asked, "Well, Johnny, what sort of work are you planning to do?"
"I don't know Aunt, I guess anything is okay. I'm not rushing to do anything. By the way, where's little Caitlin's older brother?"
"He's not here. Now. Were still actually looking for him." Mrs. Calvert said. Johnny was confused.
"He's of the crew in a ship. The Titanic." his brow softened and his jaw hardened. He understood.
"Miss Rose here," Mr. Calvert said motioning at Rose, "Is a survivor.
Isn't that nice?"
"Yeah. Very." Johnny replied. But he knew he just upset everyone in the table.
"Excuse me please," he stood up. Everyone else did. Mr. Calvert went to watch television, Mrs. Calvert went up to play with Caitlin. Rose, instead of washing the dishes, went outside the patio to Johnny.
"I upset everyone didn't I?"
"You didn't. " Rose assured him.
"Yes, I did. What happened to my cousin anyway? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Listen to me," Rose said firmly. "Their firstborn worked as a waiter in the ship, he's not yet been found. They found me where the ship docked. I asked to live with them for awhile until I find my own feet
once again."
Johnny did not seem to be shocked at hearing this.
"Then why don't they go look for him? What about you? Where's your family?" he said
"My family's gone. I have no one. And as a matter of fact, they looked for him awhile ago but still nothing."
"Im sorry. I just don't want hearing these things. It reminds me of, of something."
"Of what, may I ask?"
"of death simply. I just don't want to hear about it."
"Death. I hate it."
"Hey- what do you mean-?" before Johnny could finish Rose went inside and finished the dishes.
