IT HAS TO BE YOU
Chapter One
"Come
Josephine in my flying..." Rose trailed off as she felt a light shining on
her face.
"Is anybody
alive out there?" the officer yelled.
Finally Rose
realized it was a boat. She shook Jack's hand.
"Jack. Jack.
Jack. There's a boat! Jack." Rose kept saying his name as the ugly reality
sunk in.
"Jack! There's
a boat Jack. Jack." Still no reply. Rose laid her head back down, ready to
give up.
Then she remembered
that she promised Jack she would survive.
"Come back!
Come back!" She kept yelling but noticed they couldn't hear her.
She saw the dead
officer with the whistle in this mouth. But, she couldn't just leave Jack.
She decided to
detach Jack's hand from hers. She kissed both of his hands and pulled him up
onto the board, after she was off of it, hanging on to the side.
She left his dead
body lay there as she swam over to get the whistle. She didn't know what
possessed her to not let Jack's body stay in the water, but something told her
that was the right thing to do.
She started blowing
the whistle.
"Come
about!" the officer yelled.
Rose just kept
blowing. Finally she felt that light shining on her again. Filled with
satisfaction, she went back over to Jack and just hung on to the board, the
same position he was in at his final moments. It was now Jack's turn for the
board.
The next thing Rose
knew, she was on the Carpathia.
