Jack laid on a door he had managed to get off the Titanic after riding it down. He swam up and swam to safety he found a piece of debris that's were he was now as he watched as the Titanic sank into the cold ocean he could hear the cries and screams of people freezing to death. He let out quiet sobs as he thought of the people in third class trapped. it wasn't fair they had no chance. He had wished he could have saved them all he just hoped he could remain on the door until help arrived. as he laid on the door he could feel the life coming out of his body Jack was slowly freezing to death he saw a boat coming he started to wave his hands and call hoarsely to the boat he knew on board he wouldn't be registered as Jack Dawson he was registered as Sven Gunderson . He couldn't say anything he had to keep his identity a secret he couldn't tell the truth.

The officer brought him into the boat he wrapped Jack up in blankets. Jack fell asleep.

Jack awoke he felt someone holding his hand

"Rose? "Jack croaked out not opening his eyes.

"Who is Rose?" A voice replied

Jack opened his eyes he looked to the voice it was Lilly his sister Lilly she had perished in the fire that killed his mom, dad and brothers

"Is this Heaven? If so I feel very cold. So very cold."

"Jack you survived the sinking of the Titanic. they brought you on board you were unconscious. you have been for four days. The ship is docking tonight. They said if you didn't wake up they were going to transfer you to the hospital. They gave you some warm clothes. I was the one to help with that while a nurse tended to another patient. Philip is around here. He has been caring for the patients as well. You need to have some hot liquid in you. I'll get you some soup.

"Are you alive Lilly?"

"Yes Jacky I'm alive. Mom ,Dad, Noah and Brandon are alive too. We all survived Jack we all thought you were dead. I'm working here on the Carpathia with my husband. When I saw you come aboard I haven't  left your side.

" I went back there were men there. They said we better tell Jack. I assumed you were all dead. So I took off into the night I didn't want to go and live with uncle Henry. If I hadn't gone back for my drawing pad I would have known that you were alive."

"Jack that doesn't matter now. Dad knew you would come back for it. He left it on the table for you. Mom would have gone to her grave thinking you were dead. We all would have. We won't now."

"Jack do you want me to see if your friends are alive?"

"No, I don't want you to leave me. Please don't leave me alone and my friend wouldn't be registered he is under a different name. We won our tickets to get on the Titanic I won a poker game."

Lilly nodded she pulled the blankets over her brother. He was still very pale. The doctors weren't sure if he would live. He had a severe case of hypothermia.

"I'm going to find the doctor. I won't leave the room. Brandon and Noah should have never taught you to play poker." Lilly said covering Jack up some more.

Jack smiled.

Lilly returned with the doctor. The Doctor checked Jack over.

"Well Mr. Dawson I'm glad you awoke we were worried about you."

Jack smiled at the doctor he felt so cold. He just wanted to feel warm.

"Just stay warm. Mr. Dawson." He said grabbing another blanket and covering him up.

"Jack." He replied

Lilly rubbed Jack's arm so grateful her baby brother was alive. If he had died they would have never known if he was dead or alive.
