As expected: chaos ensures around the ship. It hit an ice burn and it's sinking. Jack and I ran to the life boats.

"You go on there."

"Jack please—" I pleaded.

"I'll be fine."

"No you won't. I won't leave you."

Jack caressed my cheek for a moment.

"Alice, my beloved!" Asher's voice called out.

Oh boy. The least person I wanted to see. He saw I was with Jack and made a disgusted noise.

"What are you doing with that rat?"

Then, the burst of energy hit me.

"He is no rat, he is my Prince Charming. He loves me for who I am unlike you. I never loved you. I never wanted to be with you." I said as I can tell Jack was somewhat rooting for me.

"Ma'am please." A steward said as he held out his hand for me to take.

But I can tell Asher wanted to kill him. And I was right: he pulled out a pistol. And I saw Rose running... and Cal chasing after her with a pistol as well. An idea hit me...

"I'm not going, go ahead. Asher."

"I'm not—"

But before Asher could finish his sentence, I ran off while holding Jack's hand.

"Rose!" I shout out.

She didn't turn back but she heard me... I know this isn't going to be ladylike but I have to save my best friend. I jumped and tackled Cal. The gun falls out land slid across the ground.

"GET OFF ME!" Cal yelled.

"NO!" I yelled, "you cannot hurt my best friend because she doesn't love you! Go get on the life boat NOW!" I continued to yell.

Cal was going to say something but we're on time's essence. I jump off and he gets up, rubs off the dirt off him, and runs away.

"Jack, Rose... I have an idea but it's going to be crazily stupid."

"What is it?"

"Just follow my lead."

Later...

The titanic sunk. Jack, Rose, and I used doors to hang onto. But I'm not letting Jack die by being selfish and hog my door and die from hypothermia. Jack and I had separate doors the one door while Rose lays on her own door. It's been hours since we're at sea. The water is ice cold. Jack tried to carefully move his door open and try to huddle up and keep me warm.

Rose had used her own jacket to try to keep herself warm.

"...I told you both it's a crazily stupid idea." I said, breaking the silence.

"Not at all. I didn't want to be on a lifeboat with him... I appreciate you saving me." Rose spoke with a weakly smile.

"But that's what made me love you, Alice." Jack admits, "You're also very bold and daring."

I blushed a little. I looked at the sea with some ice floating by. This is going to be awhile until we've been found... I can only hope and pray.
