Chapter 27

Ruth's pov

"Where is she? Where the hell can she be?", I asked furiously that we lost Rose. For the third time.

"I don't know", Calendon responded

"Well you better find her. I think she's ran back to that child! Or her friends came and snuck her out during the party"

"We have men out searching for her as we speak", he said calmly.

"Well you better find her. Before she's back into Dawsons arms", I told him off. He just turned around and looked at me, "oh come on. You fell for her looks, and her Dawsons facial features and charms. Just like Rose did. And now she's running back to it. That's all she's ever done since we went on Titanic. She always ran back to him. And you're quite aware of that", I sipped a glass of left over wine.

"Well yes. But it wasn't my fault. Was it now?", he questioned me back.

"I told her to never see that boy again. After what you told me about the steerage party. But what happened? She ran back to him. She left for hours and managed to get herself knocked up in the process. Now who's fault is to blame for pushing her away and into Jack Dawsons arms?", I asked him in his face, "that's right! I finally said his name loud and clear. And I know you hate it more then I do", I smirked at him.

"Jack Dawson Jack Dawson Jack Dawson Jack Dawson! Is the father!! Of Roses child! Josephine. Jacklyn. Dawson", he then turned around violently and grabbed me by my corset. He then lowered me and raised his fists, "please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me", I begged him. He then loosened up. Everything I've known about him has changed.

Cals Pov

What the hell did I just do to poor old Ruth. I know I can loose my temper but not like that. I've never done that to Rose besides flipping a table in front of her and slapping and hitting her. But this is different. Something inside me clicked. That name. Dawson. Jack Dawson.

Ruth breathed heavily. The maids and servants stood there in shock. One of them had dropped Ruths tea.

"I'm sorry. It appears I've lost my temper", I then straighten up before looking around and walking out. Leaving Ruth on the ground with all the servants looking stunned and getting out of the way quickly.

The next few days there were no sightings of Rose. No sightings of Ruth coming down to dine with me. Well this is fucking great.

Ruths Pov

Dear Rose,

I completely understand why you left Cal for Jack. (I've seen it now first hand). I understand what he did to you and treated you. I know Jack was lovely man and had so much wisdom about the world. He was a fabulous artist, and would of supported you and Josephine in the long run. I'm very proud of you Rose. Give Josie and kiss and tell her i love her. Cause I really do and I mean that Rose.

I hope one day you will forgive me for what I've done to you. Cause in the end you're just like me. We want what's best for ourselves and our daughters. I know you and Jack put each other first. Otherwise we wouldn't have Josephine.

She is and will be! A stunning beautiful girl. There is no doubt about that. Just care for her and give her dreams and desires. And don't hold her back. I always did that to you. But she is going to be a strong strong head strong girl. Just like both her parents.

Lots of love and blessings,
From your mother

I signed off my letter to Rose. I then sealed it tight in an envelope and gave it to my maid to send off to the flat where Rose lives with all her friends. Hopefully she receives it and sees me one day again. Cause I know it won't be any time soon.
