I still felt Jack's arm around me, and my eyes were still squinting after that one shot. It was silent. I knew Jack was alive because otherwise I would have no longer have felt his arm. I was relieved that Jack nor I was shot, but nervously opened my eyes to look for who was. Molly, Ruth, and Jack still had their eyes shut so I closed my eyes again. We all opened them about five seconds later when Ruth screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Mom!" I shouted. For those two seconds, I was actually concerned about what she was screaming for.
I cupped my hand over my mouth as I saw her rush over to Cal, who was laying there on the deck, dead, blood pouring out of the side of his head. His eyes were eerily opened and his left hand was still holding the gun.
Jack had his eyes widened too, which made him hug me tighter. Molly had to turn her head away.
"You led him to this! You…you monster you…." Ruth trailed off, yelling at either herself, Jack, or I. We didn't listen to her, but to show sympathy we nodded our heads from time to time. We could see in her eyes that she wasn't thinking clearly. She didn't know what she was saying…she was too surprised that Cal had just killed himself because Jack took me away from him.
Molly ran off to go tell a worker on the boat, and soon enough a whole bunch of workers showed up, crowding around Cal. A gurney came later, but I was still standing there close to Jack; my hand clasped over my mouth. A couple tears rolled down my face. I didn't love Cal anymore; I could care less about him. I just couldn't stand seeing death. Seeing the dead passengers in the ocean spooked me enough, but to see someone I used to care about dead on the ground was too much too handle. I was glad Jack understood, because soon enough my face was buried in his chest and he was calming me down. Kissing my hair, rubbing my back, and telling me it'll be alright.
