April 14, 1912
The sound of the water rushing into the ship was becoming more and more intense, and Mckenna knew they had to act soon. She tightens her grip on Jack's hand, the tension coiling in her muscles. "I love you, Jack." She murmured, her voice low but full of conviction. They had to make it. They had to. They'd fought so hard for each other and she wasn't about to give up now.
"I love you too, Kenna." Jack replied his voice soft but his eyes filled with fierce determination.
They watched with fear as the ship was sinking further and further down, more people falling in the water. They all took a deep breath when Jack told them, bracing themselves for what was about to happen. Suddenly this end of the ship fell into the water and they all fell in too. The water was freezing, but they all had to keep swimming. It was so hard because it was freezing, dark and they were exhausted. The two couples did their best to keep holding their hands, but eventually their hands slipped apart in the water. With the stress of the ship sinking and people and the cold water, it was becoming increasingly difficult to stay together. Mckenna's heart raced as she struggled to keep swimming, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. The freezing water was numbing her limbs, making every stroke feel like an immense effort.
Jack fought through the exhaustion, his eyes scanning the dark, choppy water for Mckenna. The screams of those still in the water, the distant cries for help, and the overwhelming sensation of cold were almost too much to bear. He tried to reach out for Mckenna, but the turbulence of the water and the sheer volume of people made it nearly impossible to stay connected. David, too, was struggling to keep Rose close, the force of the waves pulling them apart. The water was relentless, dragging them in different directions despite their best efforts to stay together.
"Jack! Jack, where are you?" Mckenna's voice was swallowed by the roaring water, her fear making her voice tremble.
"Kenna!" Jack shouted back, his voice hoarse. He fought against the currents, trying to reach her, but the water was too tumultuous. His eyes were filled with desperation as he reached out, his hand just missing hers.
Mckenna kept swimming, her heart pounding and lungs burning as she struggled to swim to the surface. Her chest was aching, her throat burning, but she kept pushing herself. She gasped for air when she broke the surface, coughing and breathing heavily. Screams filled her ears, people around her crying and panicking. Her heart raced and panic filled her as she couldn't see the others anywhere.
"Jack!" She shouts, her voice getting drowned out by the noise around her. "David! Rose!" She looked around frantically, tears filling her eyes. She started breathing faster, her panic attack coming on. She couldn't help it. This was even more than a nightmare than before. It was so dark, it was freezing and her body ached from the impact of the fall and all the swimming.
Suddenly someone grabbed her arm, making her flinch and yelp in surprise as she swung her arm to push them away. Mckenna's panic surged as she struggled against the grip, her fear escalating. Her arm was yanked forcefully and she was pulled against a hard chest. She screamed, her hands pressing against the chest and her body was shaking. She had hoped it was Jack, David, or Rose, but it was someone she didn't recognize.
"Let me go! Let go, you're hurting me!" Mckenna yelled, struggling to break free from the man's hold. She felt like she was suffocating, her chest tightening and her breaths becoming quicker. She could feel herself start to hyperventilate and she tried desperately to calm herself down.
"Shut up, you little brat!" The man hissed, his grip tightening painfully around her. Mckenna's heart raced even faster as she fought against him, desperation clawing at her insides. She could see the chaos around her—people struggling, shouting, and flailing in the water, but none of it registered as she focused on escaping the terrifying grip. She tried using all her strength to push the man away, but his strength was no match for hers. He pulled her against him even tighter and her chest began to hurt. The pain was overwhelming, making her lose focus. She couldn't breathe, her head was spinning and her vision started to blur.
