"Come on let's swing faster, I can go higher than you, see." Ella called to me from the swing she was on.

"No you can't."

"Yes I can!"

"No you can't!" I replied and me and Ella carried on like this until we were laughing so much that we nearly fell off the swings! I was having so much fun here that for the last half an hour I'd forgotten about Jack and rose almost completely. Ella looked really pretty today; she had a white dress on which blew in the wind as she swung, with light blue shoes and a blue beaded bracelet on with a silver heart charm. I looked no way near as beautiful in my clothes but that didn't matter with me and Ella, we just had fun together and were friends, and to us, that's all that matters.

"Your bracelet's nice." I said to Ella as the swings gradually slowed down. She looked down at her bracelet and smiled, raising one arm to it while her bracelet arm was holding onto the swing chain.

"Oh yeah, thank you, I got it when we went to Paris a year ago, the shop we brought it from was really nice, they had all sorts of beads and crystals and colours, brooches, necklaces, bracelets, they had everything." Ella replied, "I really liked Paris, I wish we didn't leave." She said with a hint of sadness but she still kept the mood cheery.

Ella's life seemed perfect, we'd talked about each other for the past half hour, I'd told her about where I live, and holidays I've been on, and I also told her about my mommy, I know I can trust Ella, she's one of my best friends now. She told me all about herself to, about the big house she has in America, and about places like Paris, and about her mommy.

She said she gets on well with her mommy, even though she has other servants and maids to look after her, her mommy see's her and talks to her a lot. I like that, that Ella has a nice happy family even though their first class, and in a way, been a close family goes against the rules in her class. I wish Roses' family was just like Ella's, so that her mom would be nice to her, and she wouldn't be told what to do all the time, she could say how she really felt without been scared about what her mom or fiancée will think. That way she could be happy, and she'd be allowed to be with Jack.

"Your life sounds perfect, you get to live in a big house and wear nice things and have servants, and you have a nice family who love you, which is better than servants and houses, but you get that on top of having a nice family." I said as I swung my legs to make the swing speed up again, Ella didn't swing though.

"I guess, I've never really thought about it that much, I know I'm very fortunate, but it's just always been there, I don't know any different to the life I'm in now." Ella replied staring into the air like she was deep in thought. I guess I'd be like that, if I had been born rich then I would grow up in that lifestyle, so I wouldn't think any different, and I'd take it for granted I guess. I wonder if Rose takes been rich for granted... maybe a bit, but she doesn't get the good side of it, she can't enjoy having nice things and going to amazing places because all her nice things get picked out for her, and she never has any freedom to go where she wants.

"Here, you should have this." Ella snapped me out of my trance and I saw that her hand was outstretched with the blue beaded bracelet in it.

"No, that's yours, I can't take that, where would I wear it? Besides it's really expensive." It looked expensive, the heart charm was pure silver and the beads were pure glass and marble with swirly patterns in each bead. I'd love to have it, I almost wished I'd have said "Okay, thank you" and took it, but it belonged to Ella, it must have cost loads, I can't just take something like that.

Ella shrugged "I have three more anyway, and I want you to have this, you don't have to go anywhere posh to wear it, I'm wearing it out here on deck. Please Cora take it, please?" Ella said, hoping I'd take it. She must really want me to have it, and I really want it, and we are best friends... so...

"Thank you Ella!" I said taking the bracelet and leaping off the swing to hug her, I went to hug her a bit to forcefully and nearly knocked us both off the swing! We laughed and then got up to walk on the deck; we'd done enough swinging for now. I love my new bracelet so much! I'd never had anything this nice or expensive before. I held out my arm and watched the beads glisten in the sunlight.

"It suits you." Ella complimented as we walked, I smiled at her and then looked down at it again, before putting my arm back down.

"What do you want to do now?" Ella asked, god, she was so nice! Already she'd given me a beautiful bracelet, which hopefully her mom wouldn't be mad at her for, and now she asked me what I want to do, putting me first. She really was generous.

"I think you should decide." I replied. Besides, Ella knew more about the upper class deck than I did, she might know somewhere good to go.

"Okay, erm... oh I know! I have to show you the gym room; they've got really fun stuff in there." She grabbed my hand and we ran down the stairs, with some disapproving looks to the lower first class deck towards the gym room...

"And this is the rowing machine, that's good, oh and they've got electric camels and horses, I don't see how it's exercise but it's fun to go on." Ella told me as she showed me the machines in the gym room. I'd seen rowing machines before but never electric camels or horses. I wanted to go on one though, maybe it's like riding a real horse, I wouldn't know what a camel ride feels like!

"How does it work?" I asked going up to the horse.

"Like this, watch." Ella got on the horse and clicked the on switch so it started moving, I laughed when it started, It moved, but not like a real horse, Ella laughed too and then jumped off while it was still moving.

"Come on, I'll help you up if you want a go." Ella offered, I giggled and with her help go onto the horse, it felt strange, not really like a horse but it was fun to ride. Me and Ella laughed and then I turned off the switch a few miniuets later and got down. As I walked across I looked over at the sign on the door.

"NO CHILDREN OR ANIMALS ALLOWED IN HERE." The sign read, oops.

"Er, were not supposed to be in here are we." I said to Ella, I felt a lil un easy, I didn't wanna get caught in here, I'd get into trouble for been in here, and from sneaking up into first class, and Ella would get into trouble too.

"Not strictly, but not many people come in here anyway, not at this time." I looked over at the big clock on the wall, it was twelve, most people would be having lunch or on deck relaxing now. I relaxed then, no-one would catch us...

Me and Ella stayed in the gym for ten more miniuets, we'd gone on the rowing machines, and played and laughed, it was really fun. Just then we both saw movement outside the gym window. We both froze, oh no, someone's gonna come on!

"Quick, hide behind here!" Ella whispered and we both ran and hide behind a big wooden piece of gym equipment that was big enough to hide both of us. I ran behind it and hide just in time before the door opened.

"Jack, this is impossible, I can't see you."

"I need to talk to you." Jack replied to Rose. Oh-my-god, they were here! Rose and Jack were talking, here!! I glanced at Ella, our eyes lit up, I'd told her about Jack and Rose and now she wants' them to be together too. This is it, we're gonna get to hear Jack tell Rose he loves her, and then she can tell him, and they can be together! At least I hope that's what happens, oh please let that happen, they have to be together, they have to...

"No Jack, no, Jack, I'm engaged, I'm marring Cal... I love Cal." Rose tried to convince Jack but the tone of her voice miserably failed her. She couldn't fool Jack; I peeked out from behind the big wooden box to see what was happening. By the look on Jack's face he wasn't being fooled by Rose, he knew her inside out. Then he began to talk...

"Rose, you're no picnic, alright, you're a spoilt lil brat even, but, under that, you're the most amazingly, astounding, wonderful girl-women that I've ever known, and-"

All the things Jack said made me glow inside for Rose, what he said he truly meant, it was better than just an "I love you." But even though he was telling her all this, she still looked really worried, like she couldn't admit she felt the same, just admit it Rose, please! I think, maybe she'll pick up my thoughts, I hope she does...

"Jack I..." She interrupted Jack. Oh no, she's still in denial, why is she?

"No, let me try and get this out, you're ama-" He was going to say amazing but them stopped, he wanted to say how much he felt for Rose, but there aren't any words to really explain it, he loves her so much. God, if I were her I'd be overjoyed, why can't she be?

"Look, I'm not an idiot, I know how the world works, I've got ten bucks in my pocket, I've nothing to offer you and I know that. I understand-but I'm too involved now, you jump I jump remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be alright...that's all that I want." Jack finished. Rose was beginning to have tears in her eyes.

"Well I'm fine; I'll be fine, really." Rose tried to reassure Jack but failed again, it was oblivious that she wasn't.

"Really? I don't think so." Jack said softly to Rose.

"They've got you trapped Rose, and you're gonna die if you don't break free, maybe not right away because your strong but-"He gently put one hand on her cheek and caressed it.

"Sooner or later that fire that I love about you Rose, that fires gonna burn out." Jack finished. Everything he said was true, he was trying to save Rose, he loved her with all his heart, and from the look in her eyes, she knew it, and she loved him too, I can see how desperately she wants to tell him, but there's something stopping her. Why won't she just tell him, come on Rose, tell him!

"I'm going back, leave me alone." She said and with that she dropped Jacks hand and turned and went out of the door, leaving Jack standing there watching her leave. He looked like he was about to stop her but then he let her go. He just stood there for about half a minute and I saw the tears escape from his eyes. Then he went out the door, leaving the room silent....

"That was so unexpected." Ella breathed quietly as she got out from behind the box. "Cora?" She asked. I sighed and stayed behind the box for a few more seconds, drying my eyes from the silent tears that had escaped. How could this happen, I was so sure that they would be together. Why didn't she tell him? Why not, she could just go with him and never have to see her mom or cal again, why?

I slowly got out behind the box with Ella's worried eyes following me. I dried my eyes as best I could and managed a weak smile, as did she.

"Oh Cora." She said and pulled me into a long hug. Ella was disappointed that Jack and Rose hadn't got together, but she didn't know either of them as well as I did, so she wasn't so upset. She comforted me for a few miniuets, I tried to look as if it was working, but really I was still cut up inside.

"Er Cora, I have to go now, I have to be back by twelve thirty for lunch, my mommy said, are you gonna be okay?" She asked sympathetically I nodded.

"I'll be fine." I said, more convincingly than Rose had. "Thanks for the bracelet again, I'll see you later, tomorrow, probably."

Me and Ella said bye and then I watched her go out the door as she went to find her mommy. I stayed standing in the gym, not caring if someone saw me; I sighed and let a few more tears escape. I had it all planned out, how it would go today, I imagine Rose flinging her arms around Jack, telling him she loved him to and wanted to be with him, I saw him running with her to third class, them laughing and smiling all the way. I saw her dancing again with him tonight, everyone so happy for them. And then when the ship docked, they'd go off together, free to be with each other with no-one or nothing to stop them. And now... all that had gone away. That wouldn't happen...this is all wrong! It's not meant to be like this. She loves him too, I know she does, why couldn't she say it? I let a few more tears escape, no of this was meant to happen. The look on Jack's face when Rose left was heartbreaking, he was so depressed and heartbroken, they need each other, none of this was meant to happen, this shouldn't have happened this way. I shut my eyes and breathed in deeply. There may be, may be just a small tiny chance that they can still be together, she might still tell him... I'll try to make this happen.

God,

If you do this, I'll never ask for anything again I promise, unless it's really major. Please do this for them. Please, please, please find a way for Rose and Jack to be together, please. Find some way to give her the courage to tell him, to break away from the trap she's in. Please do this, they deserve to be together.

Amen.

I open my eyes to see the gym room. I sigh out, praying is my last hope. There's still a chance for them to be together, and hopefully with a bit of help, it will happen. I walk out of the gym and go back down the stairs to third class, I hope this works, for Jack and rose, please may it work...
