A LOVE WE CAN ONLY DREAM OF
Chapter Five
Rose's anger was increasing rapidly. She
couldn't believe Cal actually said a thing like that to her! Cal could only
stand there in shock, not believing what had just happened. Rose remembered
that Jack was still on the floor, and rushed to his side.
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine."
Then, Rose noticed that his lip was split and
bleeding. She reached for the nearest cloth. She began to carefully wipe the
blood away as he winced a little. Finally, she placed her lips against his, and
they started to kiss passionately.
"Now, that makes me feel better."
"I hope it does," Rose said, as she
smiled at Jack. Cal still stood there, not believing his fiancée would kiss
another man so passionately when she had never kissed him like that. Suddenly,
Jack looked in his direction, and began to shout at him.
"Now, you listen to me, you asshole! You
stay the fuck away from Rose! Don't even think about coming near me or her, or
I swear I will beat the shit out of you!" Jack then punched Cal in the
face, knocking him out. "How does it feel to get a taste of your own
medicine, Caledon Hockley?" he asked, as he grabbed Rose's arm and started
to walk out the door.
"Wait, Jack. I have a present for
Cal."
"What?"
"This," she said, as she threw her
engagement ring on Cal. Jack smiled, and they walked out the door. "Jack,
I think I should at least leave Mother a note."
"Do what you have to, Rose."
She then took out a piece of paper and a pen
and began to write.
Dear Mother,
When you read this note, I will already be
gone. I just wanted to tell you that I am fine. I will not marry Cal. I have
fallen in love. Really, truly fallen in love with Jack Dawson. If you don't
like this, I really don't care. Please leave me alone, and let me live the life
I want to live.
Rose
