Rose's point of view
"I wasn't going to jump" I said looking him in the eye.
"I know but, I've always wanted to say that movie line" he said coming forward.
"So tell me what is a pretty woman like you, doing on a boat like this?" he asked
"I was the woman pulled from sea, by your captain. I'm planning on getting off soon any way" I said looking over the endless sea.
"And where would you go?" Adrian asked
"Land, city" I said
"No, it will take days to reach Russia" No that is not right…..it can't be
Adrian gave me an odd look when I fell silent.
"What is it?" he asked
"When I was…" I stopped myself from telling him what really happened. I didn't want to look like a stupid freak.
"When I feel off the boat, we were on the cost of Miami. No that can't be right" I said looking at the ground.
"What can't be right" the captain said, I turned around and looked at him. I have only just met him, and already he has my heart beating out of control.
"Oh captain, I and Rose were just having a talk. Nothing more or less" Adrian said smiling. The captain just looked at him.
"Rose I need to talk to you." He said looking at me, his eyes I swear could see all the way into my soul.
"Well I will leave you to it" Adrian said walking off, great now I was alone with the Captain.
"Come with me to my office, we can talk there" the captain said walking back inside.
It looked like I didn't have much of a chose, so I followed him. Along the way I thought up ideas on what I was going to say to make him get me of this ship.
When we arrived at his office he made me some coffee, then sat behind his desk. For two minutes we just sat there drinking our coffee getting warm.
"Tell me what happened?" he asked, I knew what he was going on about without been told.
"I fell off a boat" I laid.
"Don't lie to me, Rose" he said looking me in the eye.
"I don't know what you're on about" I laid again.
"In the chest I found a note from your father. I know you didn't fall, you were pushed." He said in a soft voice. I looked away; I couldn't take the look of his eyes.
"I know what happened to you, what your father did. Tell me the truth Rose, I can help you" he said in a softer voice, how the fuck did he know? He wasn't there, nobody was.
"You can't help me, just let me off this boat" I said
"No, your right I can't help you unless you tell me. I know nobody has ever listened to you, well know I am. I care Rose, tell me" he said, I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but truth. I let out a breath and gave in.
"I was born about 17yrs ago, I'm not sure. But from the day I was born they have hated me, I have never known why. All I know was I was a mistake." I stopped and took a breath
"They would both beat me and say things that hurt, they didn't give me a name till I was eleven years old. My parents were drunk at the time.
But my sister was the lucky one, she was planned. They raised her to think I was a mistake. My parents loved her with everything they had, at Christmas they would make me sit out in the cold. While they opened their gifts and had fun.
When I was eleven I got my period, my father had got tired of my mother. So he moved onto me, he would come into my room at night and rape me. He was too strong; I was never able to stop him. It would hurt so much but he didn't care. When my mother found out she hired a pack of men to beat me and rape me for a week. Everyone in my family just turned their backs, when I came back they made me walk around naked with a chain around my neck. Like some sort of pet, Lissa did nothing she never cared.
Somehow I learned how to read and write, I use to write in a book about my life but they took it away from me.
It wasn't long till my mother started whacking my father rape me. She even videotaped it, some nights I could hear her whacking it.
My sister started saying that I was getting in the way, so my parents moved me out to the shed. Their they would beat me so bad that I couldn't walk. My father would bring in his friends from work, together they would rape me and beat me.
It was when the people next door started to think something was going on, so they took me out and hit me on the bad of the head and throw me into the sea" I said sobbing, the captain came over and wrapped his arms around me.
"It's ok, I will never let anything like that happen again" he said rocking me. He felt so warm, all the others felt cold. Not him, never him.
"Thank you for telling me, Rose you are a very strong woman. Who has gone through hell, yet you still stand strong. No matter what they have done to you, you are still a person, you matter. Nobody can take that away from you, I won't let them." He said, his words were so powerful. They filled me with hope of a better life; maybe just maybe for once I could be happy.
I felt power rise inside my chest, these are one of these very rare moments when I felt like I could take on the world. But this time I can, and I had a plan.
"Captain…"
"Call me Dimitri" he said
"Dimitri can I use your phone?" I asked
"Yes, there you are" he said picking it up from his desk and giving it to me.
"Thanks" I said walking into my room.
I knew the number by heart.
Ring, ring, ring
"Hello?"
"Hello daddy, I'm Alive!"
