Based on some situations originated by James Cameron.
When I was seventeen, I hated my
life, but then I met Jack. When I was with him, all my worries disappeared. It was
like I was in a dream, a dream that would never end, but then we hit the
iceberg. The Titanic was sinking.
We spent several painful hours
waiting--waiting for the ship to sink, waiting for the boats to come back,
waiting to hear the last cry for help. Of the fifteen hundred people that went
into the sea, six were saved. I happened to be one of them.
The whole way home, all I could
think about was Jack.
"Don't you do that. Don't
you say your good-byes. You're going to make it, Rose. You're going to die an
old, old woman, warm in your bed."
The words ran through my mind
over and over again, the image of him not leaving for a second. It never would.
I loved him. I couldn’t help but
feel guilty. So many women had lost their husbands, their fathers, their lovers,
and all I could think about was myself!
I started to cry. How was I going
to live? I had found the love of my life, and I had lost him. Why couldn’t I
have gone instead? He didn't deserve it! He was a survivor, while I was a
spoiled brat.
I thought about it some more and
decided that I would never act like that again. I'd have an open mind. I
wouldn’t care about anything.
I'd be like Jack...a survivor.
The End.
