JACK AND ROSE: PRESENT TIME
Chapter
Thirty-Five
That night Rose was
feeling terrible. Why did she yell at Jack like that? Why was she such a bitch?
Was Jack ever going to forgive her? She didn't know. There was only one way to
find out.
Rose went
downstairs, where Jack was watching T.V. in the living room. Jack was layed out
on the couch. Rose sat down on the chair next to it. Jack didn't say a word. He
didn't even look at her.
"Jack..."
Rose started. "I'm sorry."
Jack still didn't
look at her. Rose just got up and walked back to her room. If he was going to
completely ignore her, she wouldn't just stand around and try to get things
right.
Rose sat down on
her bed and turned on the radio. She decided to do some homework, a thing she
didn't do that much on a Friday evening.
Rose listened to
the radio. She couldn't believe her ears. She head Jack's voice.
"Hello
Jack," the radio man said. "What would you like to request?"
"Uh, 'How do I
Live' and I want to dedicate it to my girlfriend who is pretty mad at me right
now. I want her to know I love her."
Rose's eyes were
filled with tears. She immediantly jumped off her bed and ran out of her room.
Jack was standing at the top of the stairway. She ran into his arms.
"Rose, I'm so
sorry. For everything."
"Jack,
everything was my fault. I'm sorry." Rose looked into his blue eyes.
"But, why did you follow me at school?"
Jack smiled
slightly. "You jump, I jump, remember? Rose, I can never turn away without
knowing you'll be alright. That's all that I want."
Rose smiled and
kissed him. She was so relieved his whole ordeal was over. She know had her
angel back. "I love you, so much Jack."
