Jack and I arrive at the deck. We couldn't seem to find a lifeboat.

"Sir! Do you know of any lifeboats anywhere?" I ask a man.

"Yes. On the other side of the ship near the bow." he replied.

I take Jacks hand and we head to the other side.

Jack sees Fabrizio.

"Fabrizio! Fabri!" Jack calls out.

Jack and Fabrizio hug each other, with a pat on the back.

"The boats are all leaving." Fabrizio said.

"We gotta get over there before we're gargling salt water." Jack said.

Once we get to the extra lifeboats, people are screaming and crying. It's so loud.

"Women and children only!" a crew member said.

Jack and I look at each other. My eyes welling up with tears.

A crew member pushes Jack away, and reaches his hand out to me.

"God damnit! To hell son of a bitch!" Jack yells at the crew member.

I could tell Jack was losing his patience.

"Get in the boat, Y/n." Jack said.

I look at him.

"No. Jack. I'm not going without you." I exclaimed.

My father walks towards us.

"Get on the boat Y/n." my father said.

I look at my father, and back up closer to Jack.

"My god, look at you." my father looks me up and down in disgust. "You look a fright."

"Ladies in the boat!" a crew member yells out.

"Get in the boat Y/n!" Jack said.

"No. Not without you." I said.

"I have my own boat to catch, Y/n. Now get in."

I look at Jack. Tears in my eyes.

"It'll be alright."

I step into the boat, and sit beside a mother with her 2 children crying.

I start to shake.

What if I never see Jack again? I can't leave him.

I thought to myself.

I get up, stepping around the people on the boat.

"Y/n!" Jack yells.

I look up at him. His eyes were sparkling in the light.

I jump out of the boat onto the side of the ship.

I start to run through crowds of people. Trying to find Jack, again.
