That night, Bella was dressed in a pretty burgundy dress, her hair was up on her head in a fashion she didn't like, and she was wearing a corset which she really didn't like
" I am so glad we don't have to wear these in my time" Bella thought to herself before she headed to dinner with Ruth and Cal. She finally figured out who Trudy was and she seemed nice
Bella ignored the conversation around her, she was thinking about what she would do to hear Edward's voice... she thought about jumping off the back of the ship into the freezing water but she didn't want to kill herself, just hear the voice... maybe if she just made it look like she was going to jump he'd show up
Bella was also thinking about Jack Dawson, would he show up and try to stop her from 'jumping?' Probably, she knew she could make him think that he was talking her into not jumping, he will be invited to dinner for 'saving her life' and then that would be the end of that, she didn't want Jack Dawson, she wanted her Edward
After the men left to have brandies in the smoking room, Bella excused herself to go to her room, she wanted to try to get out of this dress and corset before she pretended to jump off the ship
When she got to her room, Bella took off the pearl necklace she was wearing and took her hair down, then she tried taking off the dress but there were too many buttons on the back of the dress and she couldn't reach any of them
She called for Trudy but Trudy wasn't there
" Figures... she's probably having dinner right now" Bella said to herself with a sigh, " Well Bella, I guess you're going to have to 'risk your life' while wearing a beautiful dress, slippers and a corset"
Bella left her room and headed towards the back of the boat, she was in a hurry to hear Edward's voice, she knew that her imaginary Edward would know what to do
People who she ran by started looking at her like she was crazy for running, a proper lady doesn't run
Bella ignored everybody she passed, she had a goal and she was going to fulfill it
She got to the end of what was called 1st class and she went down the stairs to 3rd class
She ran to the railing at the end of the ship and looked at the dark water and waited
She didn't hear her Edward
" Not in danger yet" Bella whispered then she took a deep breath and started to climb the rail just like Rose did in the movie
She was surprised that she didn't trip on her dress yet since she was so clumsy
Unlike Rose, Bella kept her back to the water and she was facing the ship, she just wanted to hear Edward's voice... but to her disappointment, she didn't
" Come on voice, I put myself in danger, you're supposed to come" Bella whispered
Bella's imaginary Edward voice didn't come, instead, she saw Jack Dawson coming towards her
" Don't do it" Jack said cautiously
Bella gasped, " Stay back... don't come any closer... I'll jump" Bella bluffed
Jack took out his cigarette and slowly moved closer to throw the cigarette overboard, " No you won't"
" Sure I will" Bella said with a glare
" But you would have done it already since I came closer" Jack said
" Please sir, just leave me alone" Bella begged
" Why are you doing this?" Jack asked
" I'm trying to find somebody... this is the only way" Bella said
" Who are you trying to find? Maybe I can help" Jack said
" You can't" Bella said
" Well, I can try... what's this person's name?" Jack asked
Bella had tears in her eyes, " Edward, his name is Edward"
Jack's face looked shocked, " Bella?"
Bella gasped, " How do you know my name?"
" It's me... It's Edward" Edward said in Jack Dawson's body
" Edward?" Bella asked
Edward nodded, " Come on, I'll help you get back over here, then you and I are going to have a talk"
Bella nodded as she started to climb the railing with Edward helping her
Her dress got caught under her foot and she slipped
Before she could fall like Rose did, Edward had her in his arms
" Now we don't want this scene to be exactly like the scene between Rose and Jack" Edward joked and he kissed Bella on the head
" Edward I'm so glad you're here... I thought I was all alone" Bella said with tears still rolling down her face, " Edward how did we get here?"
" I don't know... I just saw a blindingly white flash and the next thing I knew, I was Jack Dawson and on the Titanic" Edward explained
" What's the date?" Bella asked, " I haven't seen a calendar and I don't know how long we've been on here"
" It's the 12th... it hits the iceberg on the 14th" Edward said worriedly
" Do you think we can get out of here by then?" Bella asked worriedly
" I don't know" Edward said
" Ok, another question... are you human or a vampire?" Bella asked
Edward was silent for a moment then said, " Human"
Bella closed her eyes
" I will get you on a life boat Bella, and I will make it and come back to you" Edward said firmly
" Promise?" Bella asked
" I promise, I will make you safe" Edward said
" No, promise you will come back to me... alive" Bella said
Edward nodded
