I looked in her eyes, her beautiful eyes, which I fell in love with, at the moment when I saw them for the first time. The eyes with so many emotions, like when we first met. She was hanging on the back of the titanic, ready to jump, feeling like there was no way out. She looked so desperate and so fragile. But I saved her. I brought her back on board, and that’s the best thing I’ve ever done, because after that night we talked more and more.

I can also remember those happy shining eyes when I took her to the party of the 3th class. We had so much fun and I wish we could live forever in that moment.

Then there were those confused eyes, when I asked her if she loved Cale, the man who she was engaged with. She couldn’t accept I asked her a thing like that, but I was just curious. I didn’t know her for to long, but deep in my heart I knew she didn’t loved him. And I was right, because slowly she fell in love with me, and I will admit that I fell for her too, and hard. I began to love her, and I missed her at the moments when she wasn’t with me.

She told me that if we were in America we would go of the ship together. I felt so happy, but that didn’t last long because when the night came, I wouldn’t ever see the daylight again.

The ship hit a huge block of ice, and the boat began to sink slowly. The worst thing I have ever seen in my life were those scared eyes, those eyes of Rose, which knew there was a big change to die. We’ve tried to be on the ship as long as possible, but now the whole ship was underwater and we lie in the ice cold water.

It was freezing and I felt the cold poking on my chest, I couldn’t feel my legs anymore, and my heart was beating slower. While i was laying in the sea Rose lie on a wrack of wood. I didn’t mind if I would die, if Rose was safe I was happy. She must survive it, and i knew she didn’t have long anymore because it was difficult to stay breathing. But what I didn’t want is that Rose’d give up, and I had to say that to her.

So when I was still looking in her eyes, my mind was trying to find the words. I could only think of the pain, the cold and Rose, beautiful Rose. I needed to do this for her, so I tried hard. Slowly my throat was forming the words. It was painful but I needed to say it.

 “R-Rose” said my shaking voice. “You h-have to p-p-promise me”, I waited a second because the pain took over. “You have to promise me t-that you’ll s-survive. H-how tough it will b-be, h-how hopeless you are.” I squeezed my eyes closed to fight back the tears. “P-promise me Rose.”

It was silent for a few moments, but then a soft voice answered, “I-i promise, J-jack.”

I knew this wasn’t enough, I needed to hear more. Hear her voice for the last time, and that meant that I had to say something again. So I put the pain aside and said slowly, “And... Never let go on that promise.”

She looked at me with her eyes that weren’t shining anymore. They looked dead. But then she said almost unintelligible, “I’ll never let go, Jack,” we looked at each other, both with tears in our eyes, “I’ll never let go.”

I couldn’t stop the little smile, which was cracking up on my face. I wasn’t even afraid to die. I felt lucky, lucky that I could meet a beautiful woman like her, and that I would die with her by my side. And I knew that Rose would do everything to survive. For me. And she was a strong woman, I knew she could survive this and live a beautiful life. So at that moment I happily closed my eyes. Forever.

Right?
