JACK AND ROSE AFTER TITANIC
Chapter Four
Rose was awakened early by the sound of
knocking downstairs. She glanced at the clock that read 5:30 AM. She got out of
bed and put on her robe. She tripped on a chair, waking Jack up. "What are
you doing?" he asked, yawning.
"Someone is knocking on our front
door."
"At this hour?"
Rose nodded her head.
Jack got out of bed. "Wait," he
said, putting on his robe. "I will go with you."

Jack opened the door. "Can we help
you?"
"Yes," the young woman said,
crying. "I was almost raped."
"Was it someone you know?" Rose
asked, handing her a glass of water.
"Yes. It was Cal Hockley."
Rose’s face went pale. "I th-thought he
was dead," she said, shaking.
Cal had sneaked into the back part of the
mansion. "Surprise, Sweetpea," he said, pulling out a gun and
pointing it at Rose. Jack pushed Rose out of the way just as Cal pulled the
trigger. Jack fell to the ground.
"Jack!" Rose screamed, rushing to
him. She bent down next to him.
"Rose," he said weakly. "Take
care of our babies."
"No, Jack," she said, crying.
"You will make it."
"Rose, I can't breath," Jack said,
slipping into unconsciousness.
"Jack!" Rose screamed.
