Based on some situations originated by James Cameron.
I could see him every time I
looked at her. Every time I looked into her piercing eyes. Jack. Her blue
eyes--they haunted me.
The Titanic was gone. Jack was
gone. But Elodie, though grown up, was still here. For now. For she would leave
soon with her husband and unborn baby. She would move to her new home. Oh, how
I would miss her, her and her blue eyes.
"Mother, you can’t be so sad
that I am leaving." Elodie saw my eyes filling with tears. She thought I
was crying because she was leaving, but I was crying because of the memories.
The memories of the Titanic.
I wiped my eyes and looked at her
rounded belly, remembering a time when I was young and in the same situation. I
had just gotten married. I had to. It was the only way I could forget about
Jack, though it never worked. I’m not sure I ever truly loved George, or at
least not the same way I did Jack. No, definitely not the same way.
I had only been married a few
months when I found out, for I had jumped into marriage quickly. What else was
I to do? I didn’t dare go back to Mother or Cal. So, I was alone. Everyone
believed the child was George’s, but I knew better. I just knew. But what could
I do? I had never mentioned Jack Dawson to anyone. The baby was the only thing
I had left of Jack, and I couldn’t even claim it as his.
And here she was now, all grown
up. The only thing I had left of Jack and she was leaving. Another tear slipped
down my face. How could I let go of him? I couldn’t do it again, but I had to.
"Mother?" she
questioned again.
"Oh, no, I’m just going to
miss…uh…" I meant to tell her. I had always planned to someday. She
deserved to know who her father was.
"What was that?" she
asked.
"Oh, nothing. I’m just going
to miss you." I embraced her in a hug, tears streaming down my face.
"I’ll never let go!"
The End.
