Based on some situations originated by James Cameron.
"Jack. Jack." The voice of Rose I
can hear. "Jack, there's a boat. Jack."
Her voice starts to choke up, since tears are
welling up in her eyes. I can feel her shaking my hands to wake me up, but I
can't. I'm trying to open my eyes. I'm trying to moan. I'm trying to wake up,
but I can't! Why? Why!? She lays her head against my hands, rubbing hers
against mine. Oh, Rose, please don't cry. I want to comfort her, hold
her in my arms, and tell her that everything's all right, but I can't. She
starts to let go of my hands.
"I'll never let go, I promise," she
says, and kisses my hands. She watches me descend down to the bottom of the
ocean. She whispers, "Good-bye. I'll never let go."
No, Lord, please! I don't want to die! I
want to be with Rose! Please let me!
I watch Rose struggle through the harsh, ice-chilled waters and blow a whistle
that used to be the property of an officer.
"Come about!" an officer yells.
Rose keeps on blowing the whistle, and they
shine the flashlight on her. The boat turns around and starts rowing towards my
love.
"Oh, Jack. Why did you have to
die?" Rose whispers.
Oh, Rose, I wish I hadn't, too! I kiss her cheek, but there is no sign that she feels
it.
"Here. Grab onto the oar," the
officer says.
Rose pulls herself up into the boat, and they
hand her a blanket. I want to lay beside her and be there for her. But I can't.
"Jack, if you can hear me, I love
you," Rose whispers.
I heard you, honey. I'm right here. If you
can hear me, be strong. When everything is going wrong, be strong. Oh, Rose, I
wish I could hold your hand or something. God, please, give me a second chance
in life. Let me talk to Rose face-to-face one last time. Let me kiss her one
last time. Let me hold her one last time. Let me comfort her one last time. Let
me share my emotions with her one last time.
"Jack..." A voice comes from
behind. I look around to see who it could be, and it's Fabrizio and Tommy.
"It's time to go," Fabrizio says.
No, no, not yet. Let me stay with Rose.
"I'm sorry, Jack, but we have to go
now," Tommy says.
Where? I ask.
"Back to the Titanic," Fabrizio
says.
I'll be right there, I tell them, and nod my head. I turn around to see
that Rose is asleep.
"Jack, you'll see her again when she
passes on," Tommy says.
Just give me a couple of minutes. I'll be
right there. I turn back around to
Rose. Well, I guess it's time for me to go. God, I don't want to. I'll tell
you that. I'm not gonna say good-bye, because we will see each other again
someday. So, I'm going to kiss you and always watch over you. I kiss my sweet
girl on the cheek, and whisper in her ear.
No matter where I go, or where you go, I
will always love you.
I stand up and start to walk away. I turn
around, and say, I'll miss you, Rosie.
The End.
