~ "Apologize" ~ One Republic
May 1929:
As Caledon sat in the chair in his office, thinking back on everything, from his childhood when he was six, on up to ten years old and up to his teen years, to his time of meeting Rose and on up to when he lost Rose on Titanic, he realized ten hours had passed, it was now night time out and his 'right now' problems hadn't gotten better. Because of the stock market, he was now penniless. He had nothing, and during the hours he just spent thinking back on his life, he realized, his entire life he had failed—ever since that day he told his father that he would 'submit', he had failed from that moment on and because he failed and become a failure, he realized at that moment, he had made THE most worst decisions in his life: treating others who weren't of his stature as filth, abusing Rose, the way he treated Jack Dawson on Titanic, working at the mill for his father, instead of going to college—all were the worst mistakes of his life; and even now, look at what his actions had caused him to be—a now penniless man with nothing. As Caledon looked at the black revolver sitting on the desk in front of him, big clouds of tears filled his eyes, his chin trembled. He felt like that ten year old boy again, the boy who realized his entire life was over when he saw his mother murdered by his father. He knew there was only one way to make things right—and that was through putting all the badness to an end. Caledon picked up the revolver and quickly put it in his mouth. As he held it in his mouth, he broke into severe tears. He didn't want to die, but then again he did. He had hurt everyone—EVERYONE, he disappointed everyone—EVERYONE—his mother, Rose, Jack Dawson, Millie, the maid whom he loved like a grandmother, as a child, as well as all the other servants of the Hockley mansion, whom he once loved but whom he later treated like absolute shit after he became a grown man, his workers at the Mill—he hurt all of them because of the brainwashed lessons he had in his mind, lessons his father forced him to learn, and now all he had was sorrow and guilt, guilt for how he lived his life and how he treated others. He took the revolver out of his mouth and stared at the envelope that was sitting on his desk. It was an envelope addressed to Rose and Jack Dawson. Both Rose and Jack had survived the sinking of Titanic and now lived in Paris. There was a letter in the envelope addressed to them, saying how sorry he was for how he treated not only Rose but Jack as well and how he hoped his death would be a good punishment to himself for how he treated others as well as Jack and Rose.
Caledon put the revolver in his mouth again as tears clouded his eyes. He closed his tearful eyes shut tight and took in a deep breath as he put his finger on the trigger. As he broke into more tears, he pulled the trigger, firing a loud shot into his head, killing him instantly. There his head fell back and to the side of the leather chair he was sitting in, blood and brain matter splattered all over the back wall behind him and was covered all over the desk and the leather chair. Caledon Hockley was dead…all because of his actions as adult, actions that stemmed from his tragic childhood. It was the tragic childhood of Caledon Hockley…
THE END…
