Thanks once again for reviews. I decided I better get the next chapter up quick because it was cruel to leave it. So it continues from where we left off.
"Rose!" Jack ran over to her and lifted her into his arms, even though he was still weak. "Rose you're so stupid! Why did you do that Rose? Why did you do that?" He looked down into her eyes.
The guard looked down at them, fear on his face. "Is she okay?"
Jack could only give him an awkward smile. "If she isn't, it's not your fault."
The guard shook his head and walked over to the railing and looked like he was about to be sick.
"Rose!" Jack shook her. But still no answer, then a smile spread across her face.
"Jack! I thought you were dead." She kissed him then released herself from his grip.
"Oh Rose! Thank god you have terrible aim. I thought you were dead!"
She smiled at him. "I missed because you distracted me! And no I just fainted because I thought I was seeing a ghost!"
The guard came over. His face still showed how shocked he was by the whole situation and he looked a little green. "Miss?" He managed to stutter. "Miss, Thank god! I thought you had died. Miss I think you should go to your room and have some rest. Will you take her there sir?"
Jack nodded. "Rose. You know I told you that you have to go to America, with or without me."
Rose shook her head and began crying "With you Jack. I could never be without you!"
Jack smirked. "I think you just proved your point. But I think the guard is right, you should get some rest." He gave her a shove towards her room. She started to walk off but ran back and kissed him.
"I love you Jack Dawson."

The ship slowed as it came into dock.
"Jack?"
He looked over to her. They stood on the deck of the ship, looking over the railing. "Yes Rose."
"What now? I mean that we are in America. Where do we go?"
His smile changed to a frown, he hadn't thought of that. "Rose do you know anyone in America?"
She shook her head. He had no idea what to do, all he did know was that he wasn't going to let her sleep on the streets. He gave her a reassuring smile, he would think of something.
First class people were let off the boat first. They ordered people around, it seemed like they had no problem getting back to their normal selves after the sinking. Jack just shook his head in disgrace.
"Thank god you are nothing like that Rose. Thank god you are my spirited and loving Rose, who cares for everyone, no matter their class." He kissed her on the forehead.
It took hours before the third class people were allowed off the boat. They were asked their name about hundred times, by about 20 different officers. One of them being the officer Rose had stole the gun off. She had said sorry and reassured him numerous times that she was fine and didn't plan on trying to kill herself again anytime soon. He had given her a worried look but moved on.
"Rose, you are so stupid. You had me scared half to death! Which is bad seeing I was already half dying!" He laughed.
She just rolled her eyes. It hadn't taken long for him to get back to his usual, healthy self.
Once they had finally reached the dock, Rose took one last look at the ship that had saved their lives before moving off into the crowded streets of America, Jack attached to her arm.
They stopped in front of a shop and tried to decide what to do next. It would get dark soon and Jack wanted to get Rose inside. The only problem being that they had no money.
"Jack."
He looked down at Rose. Her face was still bright and cheerful, even though he knew she was scared.
"I think I know someone but we aren't really friends. And I'm not sure we can even trust them. She might just try and hand me back to mother!"
Jack was willing to take the risk if it meant that Rose was off the streets.
"Where do they live?"
Rose looked up at the street sign. "A few streets away from here."
Jack nodded. They walked towards the house, checking the street names. Then when they found the street they searched for the number. They finally reached the house, just as it started to get dark. Rose hesitated before the door. "Are you sure? Like I said before she might try and take me back to mother!"
Jack nodded and Rose knocked on the door. A woman in a red dress, with long brown hair answered the door. Jack considered that other men would find her beautiful, but now he was with Rose no woman seemed beautiful anymore, expect for Rose.
"Rose? Oh god it is you! Derek its Rose!" A man came rushing to the door, obviously her husband.
"Rose!"
Derek, Anne!" Rose hugged both Anne and Derek. Anne's eyes though were on Jack who stood behind Rose.
"Who's this Rose? That isn't Cal!"
Rose shook her head. "No it's not. This is Jack."
Jack all of a sudden felt self conscious. He came forward and gave an awkward bow, which lead to Rose hitting him and telling him to stop being stupid. So he gave Derek a hand shake instead.
"Where's your mother Rose?"
Derek gave Anne a nudge in the ribs with his elbow. "Invite them in dear. Look at them they must be freezing."
Rose nodded at Derek. "Always liked him better, Anne can be a bit of a cow!" She whispered into Jack's ear. This sent him bursting into laughter. Anne evil eyed him but let him in. The house was small but cosy and had enough nice things to show that they weren't bad done by.
"So Rose what brings you to our house? We haven't seen you in ages."
Rose smiled. "Well Jack and I don't have anywhere to stay. We were wondering if we could stay here with you? Just for a few days obviously."
Derek nodded straight away but Anne took longer to convince. She kept asking about Cal and Jack and Jack's history. It was obvious she didn't like him. She eventually gave in.
"Well we will have dinner in 10mins. Anne will show you to your room. Please get ready and make your way downstairs to the dining room. "
Both Rose and Jack nodded and followed Anne up the stairs to their room. Once they had rested for a brief moment they went downstairs to dinner. The dinner was quiet plain and the conversation boring. Jack was quite happen when it finished and they were allowed back upstairs and went to bed.
"You seemed to have fun." Rose smirked.
Jack rolled over and grabbed her into his arms. "I have had a better night, but I have had worst." Both of them immediately thought of the sinking of the Titanic.
"Rose? I have a question but I don't think I know the answer."
Rose nodded. "What is it Jack?"
"Well I don't know how to put this but will you marry me Rose?" There was silence. "I know it's not the most romantic proposal you have ever had and it's a bit sudden. I understand if you want to say no. I love you Rose. So will you marry me?"
To be continued...
