Doodling Our Way Back

Chapter 15

Jacks Pov

I waltzed into the teacher staff room like I was 'the king of the world'. I've never felt more happy and overwhelmed with joy.

"Hey everybody!", I shouted at the top of my lungs, "I'M ENGAGED AND I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER AGAIN!", the whole staff room then erupted in a applause and cheers for me.

"Well I might say my congratulations to you Mr Dawson. But on that, on a high note of theft!", everyone then looked confused and murmured.

"Wh..what?", I asked confused at what she just said.

"You heard me correct Jack. You stole something years back. And now the owner, the person is looking for you", she said in a mysterious dark tone.

"I have no idea what your talking about", with a thousand things going all on in my head at once.

"Oh well. Looking for you I put all the pieces together. Would you like to hear?", well this should be good, "Rose Dawson. That's not her real name is it? It's Rose DeWitt-Bunkter who apparently died on the Titanic. She was engaged to a man at the time called Calendon Hockley. Does that name not ring a bell Jack?", stay strong Jack stay strong, "IT DOES!", she applauded herself with while everyone rolled their eyes at her for wasting our time, "now this is when it all gets juicy. You! Were on the Titanic. I've been to your house and seen all the articles and survivors lists up on your walls. You fell in love", she said in a girly voice. Now she is starting to piss me off, "you fell in love with Rose. And somehow knocked her up on the voyage but couldn't find her when you came home", she continued to mock me in her girly tone, "you left her all alone raising your basterd children, Jack and Josephine Dawson"

"Don't you dare say anything about them that you'll regret", I said sternly to her. Having enough of her came calling me out on what happened eight years ago.

"Oh I apologise Jack. I know it must be hard for you coming back here to your old school, to see your long lost love raising your children without you, and to see where your whole family was set ablaze in front of your very eyes. I must say, I want to have your strength and courage..-", I then pushed her to a wall.

"Don't you dare SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY FAMILY! You haven't been through what I have been through! You haven't seen the things I've seen! And things I've saw! That I never want to see again. You haven't felt my pain. You haven't felt like what it is to be lost and have no love and family. It kills you inside every day! Every time you think of somebody. Every time you meet somebody. Every time your heart beats! Love is something that every human needs to survive. It the basis of human anatomy. And it's something that no one can live without!", I said right to her face. The whole room went dead silent after my little rage rant at the principle.

"Well well Mr Dawson", she said as I backed away with my speech going on a replay inside my head, "you have quite a lot of drama and trauma. I actually thought you put all those issues aside. But I guess not", I then just looked at her.

"Wh..wh..what are you saying?"

"I'm saying get out of my school Mr Dawson or more trouble will be coming your way", she pointed me out towards the door.

"But what about my class's? the children?", I argued.

"They will be taken care of. I'm sure Miss Winters can take them", Heidi then came nervously out of the shadow that covered her, "and while your leaving, you better take your children too. I don't want to see you or them on school property AGAIN!", I then picked up my stuff and exited the teachers staff room.

"Jack, Josephine let's go!", I opened their class room door and called them out.

"Why what's wrong daddy? Mummy and baby not doing well sick", Josie got her words back to front.
