Until We Meet Again
Summary: Rose is struggling to live her life after Jack died. But she still promised and she knows that she must honor that promise, since it was Jack's dying wish. Meanwhile, in the afterlife, Jack is continuously haunted by his memories of Rose, and he begins to doubt that Rose will join him upon her eventual death, even though he promised they would meet again before he departed for the afterlife.
Jack
I wondered how long I had waited. Maybe Rose had gone to a different afterlife, which was what I feared had happened. Or, if she were still alive, she would go to a different afterlife when she died. Would I ever see her again? Or was the three days we spent, the last three days I was alive, the only time we would ever know each other?
A couple of times, Mr. Andrews or somebody else who knew how much Rose meant to me would come up to me to try to reassure me that Rose would find me, but I never saw her. The musicians playing in the background did nothing to cheer me up, although Cora would come up from time to time and ask me to dance with her to a particularly lively song. I would always go with her, but I was would always remember dancing with Rose on the night that, I hoped, I had taught her how to live again. After my dance with Cora was finished, I went right back to the clock, hoping against hope that I would see her again soon.
But I never did. I began to fall into despair. I didn't want to hear words that people thought would reassure me. When I heard someone come up to me, I had turned to see who it was, in the hopes that it would be Rose, but it was always Mr. Andrews or Cora or somebody else trying to comfort me. I didn't want their sympathy. I wanted Rose. Only then would I truly be comforted. After a while, I stopped letting people know they had my attention when they came up. I wanted only one person with me.
"Where are you, Rose?" I asked silently.
