Lost Without You/Titanic/Ch.1

Lost Without You by Hellen Gavarrete

Chapter 1

Rose looked up into the dark sky the stars seemed so distant but yet comforting to her. She sang the song she had learned to sing in times of need. Her hand still held him and could not comprehend how he had become so quiet. The screams of people around her had become more and more lower and softer and somehow even further.

Jack felt his heart thumping slower and slower as he tried to be strong and not let his precious Rose know that he was slowly but surely dying. He knew it in his hearts of hearts that he would perish with the rest. His trembling body barely had enough strength to mumble a small prayer. Rose seemed distant and could not hear him in her state of trance.

He felt the wings of the angel of death flapping it ‘s busy wings over the others surrounding him and he knew his turn would come soon. He closed his eyes and said,”Oh Lord though I may perish please spare Rose. Let her live a life of freedom and love and let her see life with new eyes and not those of fear. Let me see over her in death for my love is so great for her that I would give my life for her. Please let me be able to care and guide her when she needs it. Please forgive me if ever I have offended you and please take care of those I love.”

Rose looked into the sky and did not feel the last breath her lover had taken. Jack had gone into the great beyond. Just then Rose heard someone calling out,”Is anyone out there!!!!”

Rose wanted to stay there and felt she had no strength to move. Just then she hears Jack’s soft voice,”Rose they are here!”

She gets up and shakes Jack’s hand but not answer! She sees the face of her beloved frozen in a neverending sleep. His hand cradled over hers as she tried to wake him up.
“Jack, Jack! They are here Jack! Jack!”

His face so angelic as she realizes he is gone! She sobs, “I”ll never let go Jack, I’ll never let go.”
She is determined to live up to her promise to Jack. She was not going to die here as he had wished.
With all her strength she let go of Jack’s hand and jumped into the icy waters she tried to call out many times but her throat felt numb as did her entire mouth. She remembered the man who whistled until he became silent in his icy grave. She swam to grab the whistle and she blew as hard as she could. Not stopping until they came to her rescue.

She could barely climb into the boat as all the other bodies became barriers for her but the sailors helped her in and covered her up. The warmth of the blanket already giving her life again. Whatever life it was she decided she would live to the fullest.
She looked back to see the board floating and she wept as she thought Jack would be free somewhere in the universe. Free from judgements and free from all the sadness she was living but somehow she felt a comfort that he would be watching after her.
Somewhere he would guard after her somewhere he would help her live.
