My patience is wearing thin with how long he's been holding out on me, we have remained in silence for quite a while now and that makes me want him to leave soon.

" So , titanic huh?" Okay, definetly not what I expected but I'll take what I can get , rather then this torturous silence.

All I do is frown at him but that doesn't seem to affect him the slightest.

" So, not a big fan of it?" He tries again.

" No." I say quickly.

" Why not?" He is stalling, of course he is.

" Too sad."

Before he can even say anything else, I blurt out the same question in frustration.

" Why are you in my room?"

" Needed an escape from that suffocating room." He says, making my frown to deepen.

" All rooms are the same, so I see no difference in you coming here." I point out.

He keeps silent, moving around my room. I don't dare take my eyes off of him, while he explores my room.

" There is a difference." He tells me.

Before I can question him, footsteps outside once again sound at the far distance, and they sound like they are coming towards my room.

I jump up off the bed, turning to face him, only to see him half way out the window.

" Aren't you afraid of falling?" I whisper out, walking on to peek out and to see the distance.

All I get is a shrug as a response.

The footsteps grow louder now .

Panick shoots in now, watching him take his own sweet time getting out. A knock on my door interrupts me from watching him risk his life.

With no time to waste, I close the window shut once I'm sure he is completely out, then walk on over to the door where I first release a breath, before unlocking the door and opening it.

One of the caretakers, Jenny, stands in my doorway and I don't miss the relief that washes off her face.

Geesh what did she think I'd do to myself?

Okay I don't want to ponder on that thought.

" I was told to come check up on you, is everything alright?" Oh it must have been Vicky who sent her.

" Yes, um I was about to come down." I say.

Her eyes remaining on me, makes me feel uncomfortable in this awkward silence. I realise that she's waiting for me.

Closing the door behind me, I walk on, she falls instep with me and no words are shared between us.

Reaching the theatre room, I hear the movie running first before I see the multiple heads, focused on the screen in concentration. Spotting an empty chair, just a few chairs apart from Vicky, who nods my way, I find my way and slouch in my seat.

It's gonna be a long night, that's all I tell myself as I watch Jack and Rose meet for the first time.

With no time to get into the movie, I suddenly feel like I am being watched, as if eyes are trained on me and me alone, this time for certain it's not Vicky.

Glancing over my shoulder, my eyes catch sight of him, one row apart. A minute or so passes with our eyes stuck on each other. I glance back around and I dare not look back again, with no intention of driving myself crazy under those alluring dangerous eyes.
