"Jack, she'll be back." I tell my Brother as we wait for Rose to return.

"(Y/n), go, you have Henry, you don't have to stay here." Jack told me.

    "Jack, I'm not going to leave you. Your the only family I have." I say and he smiles.

The lights soon flicker out completely as the water rises, Jack stand on the desk attempting to keep himself dry and out of the water as long as possible.

The water was up to my chest.

"(Y/n), get on the desk." Jack said.

With effort I made my way over to Jack and climbed up on the desk that he was on. I sat down pulling my legs to my chest trying to keep warm.

Soon I heard someone yell my name from the hall.

"(Y/n)!" I hear them call again and I was positive that the voice did not belong to Rose, no, it was a voice that made my heart beat faster.

"Henry!" I yell and I jump up off the desk landing in the icy water.

I saw Rose come round the corner with an axe in her hands.

    "Jack." She said as she made her way over to him.
But my attention wasn't on her or even Jack it was on the person that came in the room after her.

    "Henry!" I say with a smile.

    "(Y/n)." He quickly made his way over to me.
I wrapped my hands around his his neck and we kissed almost completely forgetting what was happening around us or anything that Jack and Rose were saying.

    "Henry, what are you doing here?" I smile as he held me and we kissed again before he answered.

     "I wasn't going to leave you." Henry smiled and pushed some hair out of my face.

We separated when we heard the loud bang of metal as Rose brought the axe down on the chain of the cuffs and broke it, freeing Jack.

   "Come on let's go." Jack said. "Oh, shit!" He yelled as he hopped into the water after. "This is cold!"

We got out into the hallway and looked back the way we came but the water was almost up to the roof, and was violently splashing against the walls.

    "This is the was out." Rose explained.

    "We have to find another way." Jack said as he grabbed Rose's hand and we started going in the opposite direction.

After a couple of minutes we were able to find a way out and Jack, who was in the lead broke through a door which us to tumble in a dry hallway.

    "What do you think you're doing." A worker yelled. "You'll have to pay for that you know."

     "This way." Henry told us.

     "That's White Star Line property." The worker continued as he walked behind us not shutting his mouth.

    "SHUT UP!" The four of us all yell at the man and he stopped walking and talking not quite sure how to respond.

We continue through the hallway till we came to a crowd of people on the stairs yelling and attempting to get up.
I was able to see that a metal gate was locked and blocking the way up as staff were on the other side. I looked over the people and found someone I recognized right at the top near the gate was Tommy.

    "Jack. (Y/n)." Tommy said as he spotted us.

    "Tommy." Jack called as Tommy made his way from the top to over where we were. "Can we get out?"

"It's hopeless that way." Tommy told us.

"Whatever we do, we've got to do it fast." Jack said not completely knowing how long we had left.

"Jack! (Y/n)!" A familiar voice called. I turn around to see Brizio push through the crowd of people making his way over to us.

"Fabrizio." Jack and I both said as Brizio came over pulling me then then Jack into quick hugs

"The boats are all gone." Brizio explained in panic.

"This whole place is flooding we got to get out of here." Jack told him.

"There is niente this way." Brizio said gesturing to the direction he just came from.

"All right." Jack thought for a second before speaking. "Let's go this way, all right?" Jack leads.

"Come on." I say and we all follow Jack.

Jack led us through the halls full of panicking people. We took a couple more turns then Jack lead us up a stair way that at the top was all bared off. Jack pushed through the small crowd to the front.

"Open the gate." Jack yelled at the men on the other side.

"Go back down the main stairwell, like I told you." The man on the other side ordered.

Jack turned towards Rose then turned back and angrily shook the gate. "God damn it! Son of a bitch!" Jack yelled.

Jack turned around then spotted a wooden bench and started to yank it from the floor which it was bolted to. Tommy, Henry, Brizio are the first to help Jack.

"Move aside. Move aside!" Rose and I yell, and soon the people listen clearing a path in the middle. Rose only had to pull one person out of the way.

"One! Two! Three!" Jack yelled and they ran forward ramming the wooden bench into the gate.
It took only two tries for the gate to come crashing to the ground.

Brizio, Jack, I, Rose, Henry and Tommy were the first ones out, and as quickly as possible we made our way above deck.
