JACK AND ROSE: PRESENT TIME
Chapter Four

Rose hear the bell ring. Finally! It was the last period of the school day. She couldn't wait to see Jack.

She went to her locker to get all the books she needed for her homework. When she opened her locker she was shocked to find a dozen red roses with a note on top of them that read:

Rose,

These are for you. I hope you like them. Remember, I will always love you no matter what. Whenever I'm not with you my heart aches to hold you. I love you.

-Jack

>Rose smiled. Then she heard her friend come up behind her.

"Did you get Jack's surprise?" Tonya asked.

"Tonya! Did you give him the combination to my locker?" Rose asked.

Tonya nodded. "I had to, man Rose I wish I had a boyfriend like yours! He's so sweet."

"I know he is..."

"I can't wait until tonight! Tommy's taking me to dinner."

"Tommy Ryan?"

"Yeah, he's one of Jack's friend's isn't he?" Tonya asked.

"Yep. I hope you two have fun."

"We will, I gotta go. I'll call you," Tonya said as she walked off.

Then Rose felt someone's arms come around her waist. He started to kiss her neck. She knew it was Jack. She turned around.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Rose said as she saw Caledon Hockley.

"Oh, come on Rose! You know you like me better than that Dawson character," Cal said.

Rose gave him the middle finger calmly, and walked away to find Jack.

Rose walked down to third floor to Jack's locker and his back was turned towards her. She decided she didn't want to tell Jack because she didn't want to worry him.

"Hello Jack."

Jack turned around and smiled. Rose walked closer to him. He kissed her passionately.

"Thanks for the roses," Rose said.

"Your welcome. Were you surprised?"

"Oh, yeah."

"You need a ride home, right?" Jack said.

"Yeah, thanks."

They walked down to the main entrance and then walked to Jack's truck.

"Jack, in reply to your note..." Rose started.

"Yes?"

"I love you too," Rose said as she smiled up at him.

Jack stopped and kissed her for a long time. They finally got into the car and Jack drove her home.

As Rose got out of the truck, Jack kissed her goodbye and said he'd call her later.

As Rose walked into the house she ran straight up to her room.

She opened us her diary and wrote:

Dear Diary,

Jack and I are getting pretty serious! I'm so crazy about him! He said he'd call me tonight. I really do love him. I can't describe how I feel about him, all I can say is he's indescribable. I love him with all my heart and soul.

Rose

Rose closed her diary and tuned on the radio. She gasped as she heard the song "How do I Live", the same song that Jack and her had danced to. Jack was even calling it 'their song'.

After that Rose decided to take a nap. She drifted off with dreams of Jack.
