It felt like we've been dancing in that ballroom for hours, and that's how I wanted it to be. Here in Jack's arms, slowly swaying to the beautiful music…feeling like it was only him and I in the entire world…

Suddenly, Jack just stopped. He stopped swaying and grabbed my shoulders. I was confused. I looked up at him, worried, and he was looking over and beyond my head in astonishment. His eyes were widened and his mouth was open just a touch.

"Jack…"

He mouthed something, but I didn't understand what he mouthed.

"What?" I asked.

I heard a little bit of air leave his mouth, but again I did not hear.

"Jack, what is it? I can't understand you."

"Cal."

"What?" I asked again, just to clarify.

"Let's go."

He grabbed a hold of my hand and pulled me away. He led on clutching my wrist and I had no idea what was going on. I didn't see Cal, so I didn't know whether to be scared that he was chasing us or relieved that he didn't see us. Jack kept on running as I tried to keep my pace. I was confused the whole way. Wouldn't he be dead? I mean, people did survive but Cal should have died. Knowing his greediness and foolishness he would have passed but did he get on a lifeboat without me? I was so confused, but I waited to ask questions until Jack seated me in a dark supply closet. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer to his side.

"Jack, what's going on? I am so confused."

"Cal. I saw him. He was entering the ballroom and he saw me. His eyes were widening and I was too shocked to move and when my mind finally worked I had to grab you and lead you somewhere to hide so he wouldn't hurt you or me…"

"Jack, calm down. It's okay." I said soothingly. Jack was talking too quick and it wasn't helping him feel better. Inside, I was terrified of Cal still being here. Jack needed my consent though. He was obviously horrified of my ex-fiancée. I don't think that he knew that Cal abused me, but that would just scare him more. I didn't want to scare him anymore than he already was.

Jack still had his arm around me and my arms were still wrapped around his waist. It was completely silent. The only sounds I heard was our breathing and the sound of his heart beating against his chest; since my head was leaned up against it.

We grabbed each other's hands and stood up immediately when the door was thrown open. Revealing outside was him.

Cal.

"Hello, my little rose petal." He held my chin in his hand and smiled that sly smirk of his.

"Don't touch her." Jack said sternly, slapping his hand away from my face.

Cal gave Jack a death stare and I saw Jack back up half a step. Cal smiled again, as if Jack's movement satisfied him.

"I thought you two were dead."

"I wish you…" Jack started. I squeezed his hand tight to stop him from finishing his sentence. Thankfully, Cal ignored him.

Cal looked down at my left hand, then my right hand that was clutching onto Jack's.

"You're still seeing this THING, now aren't you?" He asked me. He looked at Jack while saying it, hoping to create a rise out of him.

"It's not very nice to call you're ex-fiancée a THING, Mr. Hockley." Jack smiled. I smiled just a little bit, hiding a laugh.

I gasped and covered my mouth as Cal took out a knife, grabbed Jack's neck, and shoved him against the wall.

"I was talking about YOU, GODDAMN IT!" He yelled.

"F…fighting over a….GIRL I see….surprised you haven't….moved on by now." Jack choked out, Cal's hand still squeezed around his neck.

Before Cal could have a say, Jack grabbed onto Cal's neck, causing him to sprawl. He also backed Cal up against the wall.

"Well she's mine. She's over you. LET HER GO!" Jack yelled.

Tears were streaming down my face. I was happy that Jack was standing up for me, but Cal was so close to hurting my poor Jack that I couldn't bear it.

"Y..you bastard. She was…mine in the…first place!" Cal choked.

They kept exchanging comments back and forth and all I could do was hopelessly watch in fright. I couldn't move or speak, all I could do was stand there and hope an idea would pop into my mind so I could go and rescue my love. He rescued twice and I rescued him once. It's time for me to return the favor.

I ran to Cal and pushed him to the ground. I spit on in the way Jack taught me and kicked him once in the stomach and once in the area it hurts on men. Jack looked at me with a beaming smile.

"Good job." He said to me. "I especially liked the spitting part." He winked. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we kissed for a long time, right there in front of Cal. It was a wonderful kiss, like all Jack and my kisses, right until Jack stopped and shrieked. He not only shrieked but he screamed, shut his eyes, and held onto his side. I screamed also; followed by wailing, as I saw blood spill out from Jack's side onto the floor.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Cal holding a bloody knife with that sly, evil smile on his face.

Ahahahaahahaha cliffhanger ;) hope u liked it!:D
