Titanic - You Are Safe In My Heart

Young Rose

Rose POV:

We heard the sound of a little boy screaming for his father as water rushed into the floor. We looked at him in alarm. "We can't leave him," I told Jack. We ran over to the boy and Jack picked him up. We searched for which way was safest to go but a man, presumably the boys father, pushed us and took his son. We saw water about to burst through the door the man was heading for and yelled at him to come back but it was too late. The door burst off and we ran for it. We climbed up the stairs and were faced at a locked gate. We screamed for hell but there was no one around. Then a worker came and went to abandon us as we screamed at him to help us. "SIR, PLEASE! PLEASE OPEN THE GATE!!" He seemed to change his mind and pulled out a set of keys. He fumbled with them as he tried unlocking gate, unsure of which key was correctto fit the lock. Water was spilling behind us, catching up. The man dropped the keys into the water and instead of picking them up, he ran for it. "WAIT, SEND FOR HELP!!"

Jack took a deep breath and bent down and reached for the keys. He finally pulled them through and came back out. "Which one is it, Rose?" He asked me as there seemed to be many keys on the ring. "The little one, try the little one." Jack tried his best to unlock the gate as the water got higher and higher. "ITS STUCK" he yelled as I screamed for him to hurry. We were underwater as he continued to try and unlock the gate. Eventually he managed to unlock it and we swam through and I climbed up the stairs. I looked beside me but Jack wasn't there. I yelled his name and he lifted his head up the water and grabbed my hand. We were soaked from head to toe.

Cal POV:

As me and other passengers pushed each other to try and get through,  I noticed a little girl crying for her mother, all alone and it made me feel a little upset for her.

Tommy POV:

We were being yelled at to stay back by Officer Murdoch. "WILL YOU GIVE US A CHANCE TO LIVE YOU LIMEY BASTARD!" I yelled. He aimed his gun at all of us. "I'LL SHOOT ANY MAN WHO TRIES TO GET PAST ME, GET BACK!!!" I saw a rich man who I recognised as the fiancée of the girl Jack was with go up to Murdoch. "We had a deal, damn you!" He complained. Murdoch reached into his pocket and threw money at the man. "Your money can't save you any more than it could save me. NOW GET BACK!!!" I saw someone jump up and Murdoch shot at him. Someone pushed and shoved me and I heard a gunshot. I felt unbearable pain in my gut as I felt blood seeping out of me. I fell down as Fabrizio grabbed me and started cursing in Italian. And then everything went dark.

Cal POV:

I stared at Murdoch as blood poured out of the third class passenger he shot and seeped onto the deck. He took a few steps back and stared at everyone who was giving him disgusted looks. He looked up at another officer and said goodbye in military form. The officer yelled, "NO, WILL!!!" and Murdoch shot himself in the head, his lifeless body falling into the water. I ran back over to the child I saw crying by herself earlier. She was my only ticket for survival. I picked her up and pushed through everyone. "I HAVE A CHILD! I HAVE A CHILD! Please, I'm all she has in the world," I lied to the officer. Guilt ridden, he let me on the boat with her and I attempted to calm her down.

Rose POV:

Holding Jack's hand, we ran up the tilted dining room and I saw Mr Andrews with his lifebelt off, staring into a clock. "Wait, wait, wait. Mr Andrews!" Mr Andrews stared at me. "Oh, Rose.." I took a couple of steps forward. "Won't you even make a try for it?" I asked him. He looked down at the flooded ground in an ashamed manner. "I'm sorry that I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Rose." Jack grabbed my hand. "Its going fast! We have to move, Rose!" He said frantically. "Wait." Mr Andrews picked up his lifebelt from a nearby table and handed it to me. "Good luck to you, Rose," he said, smiling. "And to you." I pulled him in for a quick hug before handing the lifebelt to Jack. "Put this on," I told him. "Are you crazy? You put it on, Rose," he argued. Before I could protest further, he grabbed the lifebelt and and put it over my head.
