Chapter 6
'Rose..Rose. Why did you leave me, Rose? Why didn't you let me on the door, Rose?'' Jack was stepping steadily toward her, but his face was blue, and his mouth frozen shut, so the near incomprehensible words were just escaping the edge of his mouth. He outstretched his arms, and he was missing a hand where it snapped off due to hypothermia. His eyes suddenly grew angry and he pointed at her
''IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M DEAD! YOURS, ROSE!'' Rose sobbed in agony. Her heart was breaking as Jack grabbed her round the throat and throttled her
''Jack, stop. Please Jack, I'm sorry. Jack..Jack..''
''JACK!'' she screamed, sitting up. It was a dream. Only a dream. She felt for him and her fingers ran through his blonde locks. He awoke with a murmur and sat up sharply, putting his arms round her naked shoulder as he saw tears on her cheeks
''Rose? What's the matter?'' she cried into his shoulder and Jack drew circles in her back soothingly hushing her
''Hey, Rose. It's ok. Just tell me what's wrong, sweetheart.'' she sniffled, and got a handkerchief from under her pillow and daintily wiped her eyes
''Oh, Jack. I had a horrible nightmare.'' Jack rocked Rose in his arms like a baby, kissing her head and wishing he could banish all evil things from her kind-he couldn't. Caledon Hockley, Ruth and the Titanic were all real, and raw and sore in his mind too.
''Come on Rose. It was a dream..." he whispered, stroking her hair softly. She drew away slowly, still sobbing. Jack resumed his position with his arm round her shoulders
"Jack... Do you blame me for making you stay in the water?" Jack raised an eyebrow in surprise
"That was what the dream was about?" Rose nodded solemnly and Jack chuckled.
"Rose of course not! I made the decision to stay in the water." Rose looked at him from under her messy morning hair, trying to gauge whether or not he was serious
"Really? You mean that?" jack smiled and kissed her hand, whose fingers were entwined with his own.
"Would I have asked you to marry me if I didn't love and adore you?" Rose smiled and kissed him softly. Jack was just deepening the kiss when the door was flung open. Rose yelped and drew the covers up to her neck; and Jack moved in front of her. A sailor covered his eyes and kept his head down
"Sorry to disturb, Sir. I've been ordered to tell you that we are now reaching New York harbor." He ducked out of the door just as quickly as he had come. Jack looked at rose, and Rose looked right back. The corners of her mouth played up at the ends, and they both burst simultaneously into hysterical laughter. Jack cut her off though; with a sweet kiss that made her close her eyes and get lost in him.
Of course he wasn't angry with her. How could he be angry at the woman who gave him what he'd desperately been searching for? Love, pure and undying. Never ending, love for Rose.
"So you're sure you're ready for this?" Jack asked turning around to face Rose. She beamed excitedly at him
"Ready? I'm more than ready. I'm excited" Rose replied sporting a smile that almost covered her whole face. Jack and Rose reluctantly broke the loving glance and made their way to the deck so they were ready when they docked.
Jack and Rose were now staring up at the Statue of Liberty. So regal. They were so close. Jack is standing being Rose with his hands placed firmly and protectively around Rose's waist,
"Promise me something" Rose said as she turned to face Jack.
"Anything".
Rose moved her hands around Jack so that she was hugging him.
"Promise me that no matter how successful you get, no matter how much or little money you make. Even if we have to sleep on the streets I don't care I want to see places with you and do all the things we said we would". Jack started not just at her but almost as if he could see into her soul. "There's nothing I want more, but there is no way I'm letting you sleep in the street. We will do it. All of it and I know where I'm going to take you first". Rose's face lit up with excitement "where?". Jack then lent down so her ear and whispered "to the starts".
"LAND AHOY! ALL ASHORE WHO'S GOING ASHORE!" the Captain hollered. As the gangplank was being lowered, people started to rush toward their loved ones. Jack and Rose walked slowly, calmly, with dignity. He leant over and whispered in her ear
"Well where else would we be going? For a swim?" Rose giggled, then shuddered
"I'm never going swimming again." Jack kissed her head softly and sighed
"I don't blame you sweetheart, but look on the bright side; we're together-and we're in New York! It's the land of dreams," but Rose interrupted him
"Yes, because the ship of dreams went so well." Jack was mentally kicking himself, but Rose smirked reassuringly as she took her first steps on US soils. She laced her arm through his and they almost waltzed together toward the car that Molly was waving at them from, but Jack yanked Rose toward a shiny red car; very similar to the one they had 'hidden' in on that ship.
"Excuse me, sir? Have you seen a woman with red hair and green eyes? Her name is Rose?"
"Excuse me, have you seen my daughter? Please!" Rose's eyes filled with tears. Her Mother was crying again. Guilt felt flowed through her, and Jack put his arm round her protectively
"Jack, I can't do this. I can't let her think I'm dead.." Jack kissed her head softly. Oh how he wished he could make it easier for her; but he knew he couldn't. By going over there Rose was surrendering. She was letting them win, and didn't she understand that Cal would drag her to a wedding ceremony by her hair? Ruth? Ruth was no better. She would be there carrying the bouquet behind them! They'd find a way of getting rid of Jack, and Rose's life with them would start all over again. It'd be a never-ending cycle. Rose took a deep breath and rounded the car, but as she did; Cal and Ruth were stepping into the red car they were hiding behind.
"Oh, Cal. Is my Rose dead?" Ruth sobbed. Cal almost spat out the words
"Yes, and it's that fiend Jack Dawson's fault. If he hadn't intoxicated her, she would have stayed on that lifeboat!" Rose gasped and covered her mouth in shock. The car spluttered into life and black smoke surrounded Rose, it's grey claws scraping at her skin. She coughed in agony, and Jack started patting her back, and once it had subsided, started rubbing her back in comfort. Rose was crying as if she would never stop, and Jack hugged her again
"It's gonna' be okay, Rose. I promise. You don't need her." Rose sniffed and hugged him back slowly
"I'm not going to waste one more tear on them. Ever. I promise" she cried into his shirt, and Jack sighed and whispered softly into her ear
" If you need to cry, Rose, then that's normal. You can cry as much as you want to. As long as you're safe, I don't care what happens." She peered up and him and Jack smiled down, as he leaned, closer…closer..
"EXCUSE ME! WHERE'S TOMMY? WHERE'S MY BOY?" A loud voice yelled with an Irish lilt.
"Per piacere, a dové Fabrizzio?'' asked a dark woman in a pink dress, clutching a horde of children. Jack stared at them, then back at Rose and bit his lip. She was surprised and suddenly worried
"Jack? What's wrong? Who are they?"
Jack sighed and manoeuvred so he had Rose next to him and she was holding his hand
"Fabrizzio and Tommy's Moms'."
