Absolutely getting annoyed of the romance crap? Yes! Still doing it? Yes! Sorry for a bit of a long update. I'm typing this using my email address compose option and saving it. By accident I closed it and it was gone. I was like "Damn this! I'm gonna work on a one-shot instead!" And I did and still in the workings. When my annoyance died down, I'm writing this chapter again.
NOTE: Helga is played by Mei Ling.

Rose decided to take a walk around the first-class deck alone without Caledon. It shocked him but she already left before he could protest. She wished he would stop being so- so- so clingy. If he was kinder and less clingy, she would have been glad to marry him. She sighed and continued walking until she saw a chain that guarded a flight of stairs going down.
Must be the way to get to the second and third class decks.
She thought about Jack and decided to meet up with him. She looked both ways to make sure nobody was looking and unlocked the chain that seperated the people from their wealth. She re-locked the chain before she left and began walking down. All she thought of was Jack and knew she just had to meet up with him. She just had to.
The third class hallway was crowded with people walking around talking to new friends. Everyone had one thing in common: they weren't sad. Everyone talked to each other like they were brothers and sisters and treated eachother like they would with their spouse. Despite being poor and can't even afford a newspaper, they were thankful for the lives they had and had made it to the Titanic, the ship everyone thinks it's unsinkable.
" Ich liebe dich" A female Chinese Mountain Cat said slowly to Fabrizio.
He put his hand on her chin and tried to repeat the words unsuccessfully. She repeated it again smiling and she let him get closer to her.
"Ich liebe dich, Helga" He said prouncing the german part wrong.
She laughed and snuggled close to him and whispered, "I love you"
Everyone suddenly fell silent as they saw Rose walk by the hallway. They knew she was a first class passenger by her clothes. When they realized she wasn't going to harm them, they continued on talking without a care in the world.
"...so you draw like that and trace the circle," Jack instructed to a 5-year old South African Tiger sitting on his lap.
Her parents walked to him to pick her up.
"Bye, Uncle Jack!" She waved cheerfully as she was carried away.
He waved back and turned around and saw Rose.
"Hello," Rose said with a smile.
"Hello," Jack answered standing up, "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you."
After those words, Rose found herself falling in love with Jack and hating Caledon even more.
April 12, 1912 6:23 P.M.
"You were late for lunch." Ruth scolded when she found Rose walking around the first class deck.
"I'm sorry. Time just got ahead of me." Rose answered.
Rose followed Ruth as they walked down to their cabins to change for the evening. When Rose was done, she walked over to her mother's cabin so they can leave together.
"You saw that boy, didn't you?" Ruth asked her after a few minutes of walking.
"Yes." Were the only words that came out of her mouth.
Ruth frowned, "I forbid you from ever seeing that boy ever again."
"What? You can't do that!"
"He's a distraction and he doesn't belong here. Now stand straight and don't look depressed." Rose felt speechless and upset. She couldn't believe she was no longer able to see Jack: her lover. She loved him more than Caledon and knew Jack treated her well.
"And to make sure you won't see him again, Spicer is watching you."
Rose felt weak and hopeless. She didn't try to smile when Spicer smiled at her and when Caledon kissed her. She didn't laugh at the jokes and refused to dance. She didn't care if her mother would scold at her: she wanted Jack. She knew she was going to have to meet him one way or another.
Poor Rose! Next chapter will be on how Rose met Jack again and finally- the sinking of the ship!
