JACK AND ROSE: PRESENT TIME
Chapter
Twenty
"Dang..."
Dominique muttered as the five of them looked up at the ship in shock. It was
huge.
After they boarded
the ship, they went to find their room. The boys in one, the girls in another.
Their two rooms were joined by a door.
"Right
here," Jack said as he opened the door with a key. Dominique put the key
in the other door next to it and opened it.
Jack, Fabrizio, and
Tommy looked around their room. It was big. It had a bathroom to the left side.
Dominique and Rose
smiled as they looked around their room, it was perfect. They had a door to the
left side of them that led to the boys room. Dominique opened it and saw
Fabrizio and Tommy laying on the bed together. Dominique cracked up with
laughter as Rose came behind her and laughed, too.
"We're just
testing the bed out," Tommy said.
"Sure you
are..." Rose said as she continued laughing.
Just then Jack came
out of the bathroom.
"Oh, it's okay
girls, sometimes Tommy and Fabrizio get impatient," Jack said.
Fabrizio threw a
pillow at Jack.
"Let's go out
on the deck," Dominique suggested.
Everyone agreed and
went out onto the deck.
"It's
beautiful!" Rose said.
Jack came up behind
her and wrapped his arms around her.
After a while, they
all went inside, back to their rooms, except for Tommy who wanted sometime
alone.
They were all in
the guys room.
"Do you think
Tommy will be okay?" Rose asked.
"I'm sure he
will," Fabrizio replied.
Just then Tommy
came in the door.
"We've got
trouble aboard," he said mostly looking at Jack.
"Why?"
Jack asked.
"Well, it
turns out Caledon Hockley is on this ship too."
"Shit."
"You guys,
it'll be okay. We probably won't even see him," Dominique said.
"I hope
so," Rose replied.
Later that night
at dinner...
Jack pulled out
Rose's chair for her. They were all eating at the same table, but it had six chairs.
"Who is going
to sit here?" Fabrizio asked.
Just then Cal came
up and sat down next to Fabrizio and Tommy.
"Hey, why
don't you find your own table Caledon?" Tommy asked.
"Because, I
would really enjoy eating with some people from my school," Cal said.
"Well, I
suggest you leave," Jack said.
"Why, this
seat is empty, Remember Dawson, his bitch died."
Tommy sat their
shocked as he talked about Tonya like that.
It was Jack who did
something. He went over to Cal and punched him as hard as he could. Cal punched
back.
"Stop
it!" Dominique screamed.
A waiter came up
and stopped them just as Jack got his hands around his neck.
"That is quite
enough!" The waiter said.
They both got sent
back to their rooms. All of Jack's friends followed him.
"Jack, are you
alright?" Rose asked as she kissed his forehead.
"Yeah, I'm
fine."
"Jack,"
Tommy said. "Thanks for doing that. I just didn't know what to do."
"Tommy, Tonya
was one of my best friends. I couldn't let him talk about her like that."
"Thanks
Jack."
Tommy gave Jack a
hug. They all knew that this trip wasn't going to be perfect.
