I had been waiting for this for a
long time. Since the day when I pried his icy hand from mine and watched his
once carefree and spirited face slowly disappear in the sea, farther and
farther away from me, his one true love. Since the day my heart broke in two
before the crewmembers’ eyes. Since the day that I cried so many tears that I
hardly wanted to live anymore. But I had made a promise, a promise to grow up
and marry and have children, so that he would not have died only for me to
follow him into the great blue yonder. I had done my duty, and at one hundred
three years old, it was time for me to leave this world. My eyes slowly closed,
never to open again.
I felt myself being pulled into a
dark tunnel. How cliché. But there was a light at the end of it, and a
silhouette standing there at the end of the tunnel. My body changed to the body
I had beheld at seventeen, when he met me.
"Rose!" cried Jack as
he ran to me. We embraced.
I cried into his shoulder.
"I have been waiting so long for you! Oh, Jack!" I said, nuzzling his
shoulder.
"So have I," he
murmured. "You never let go, and I thank you for that."
We kissed, and suddenly we were
on the Titanic again, just like in the dream I had had shortly before dropping
the locket into the ocean. They clapped, and suddenly I knew I was home,
wherever Jack was.
The Titanic disappeared, and we
were standing in the light again. We walked forward, hand-in-hand, into the
light. I feared not for what lay ahead, for he was with me. Jack. Jack, Jack,
Jack.
"Are you ready?" he
asked. We were at the edge of the light, and ahead there was what appeared to
be a pool of light.
"You jump, I jump,
right?" I said.
We dove in, and our atoms,
intertwined for eternity, were recycled and became part the earth, the sea, the
wind, and the sky, with the atoms of everyone else who had ever crossed into
the heavens. I was reunited, forever, with my Jack. I was finally complete.
The End.
