Titanic: 9

After wandering around the ship for a while and sketching a little bit, Dean decided to head back to his room.

Dean was heartbroken and devastated that Becky decided to choose a life that she didn't want. She chose to give up on her happiness, her hopes, her dreams....and even Dean.

All Dean could do now was hope that Becky would change her mind, but right now it seemed impossible. But at least Dean knows that he tried to get Becky to follow her heart.

When Dean walked up to his room, the door was slightly open and he heard Charlotte & Roman talking inside.

Roman-''Charlotte, you should not be here. Your father will be furious.''

Charlotte-''Please, Roman? Just hear me out because I need to tell you something important.''

Roman hesitated, but he let her stay out of respect to her.

Roman-''Ok.''

Charlotte-''Roman....I had so much fun getting to know you last night. At dinner, at the party and when you walked me back to my room like a gentlemen.''

Charlotte smiled making Roman smile.

Charlotte-''No one has ever treated me with so much respect without feeling like they had to because they were in front of important people. You did it because you care about me.''

Roman nodded.

Charlotte-''My father wants me to marry a man who has a lot of money and a rich last name. But I don't.''

Roman-''What do you want?''

Charlotte-''I *smiles nervously* wow.''

Roman-''What is it?''

Charlotte-''No one has ever asked me that before.''

Charlotte sat down on the bed and Roman sat next to her.

Charlotte-''You see how crazy my life is? Everything gets handed to me on a silver plater and everyone expects me to be happy with it, but I'm not!''

Roman took Charlotte's hand.

Charlotte-''I never asked for this rich life. And yeah, I was born into it and I don't know any different. But deep down I was never truly happy. Last night was the first time I felt truly happy. I went to sleep with a smile on my face.''

Roman smiled.

Charlotte-''Roman, what I'm trying to say is that....I want to be happy. You make me happy.''

Roman was shocked.

Charlotte-''Roman, you are the one I have been searching for. You are the man I want to be with. I've come to realise that I have fallen in love with you.''

Roman was shocked, but his heart was racing with happiness.

Roman-''Charlotte....your father will never accept me.''

Charlotte-''I don't care! Roman, this is my life and my choice. I am not going to let my father control me anymore!''

Dean smiled wishing Becky would say the same thing about her mother.

Charlotte-''Roman, I love you. Please tell me that you at least feel something towards me? If I am mistaken, then-''

Roman-''Charlotte....I love you too.''

Charlotte-''Really?''

Roman-''Yes. And I have been denying it ever since last night because I thought we could never be together.''

Charlotte-''Well, now we can be together.''

Roman-''Thank goodness.''

Roman kissed Charlotte.

Dean smiled as he was happy for them.

Dean-''Congratulations, brother.''

Dean walked away quietly.

Dean walked outside onto the lower deck until he saw Seth & Paige talking. Dean quickly stepped back behind a corner before they could see him.

Seth-''Paige, you shouldn't be here. Your mother will be furious if she saw you with me.''

Paige-''I don't care. I need to talk to you.''

Seth-''Ok, what do you need to talk to me about?''

Paige-''Us.''

Seth was surprised.

Seth-''Us? There is no us. What are you talking about?''

Paige-''Seth, you and I had a great time last night. At dinner, at the party and you walked me back to my room like a true gentlemen.''

Seth-''I was just being nice to you. It meant nothing.''

Paige-''What?''

Dean was confused.

Dean-''Why is he being so cold to her?''

Dean was shocked.

Paige-''Why are you suddenly being so cold to me? You were so kind and happy last night. Was it all an act?''

Seth-''No! I just-''

Paige-''Then what?!''

Seth-''Paige, I love you!''

Paige was shocked.

Seth-''Ugh! I wasn't suppose to tell you that.''

Paige-''Why not?''

Seth-''Cause we can't be together, Paige.''

Paige-''Why can't we be together?''

Seth-''We're from two different worlds. Your people will never accept me.''

Paige-''My people can go to Hell!''

Dean smiled.

Paige-''This is my life! This is my choice! And I want to be with you, Seth. I love you too.''

Seth was shocked, but deep down he was happy.

Seth-''I want to be with you too, Paige. But I am a poor man. I have no money and no home. It will never work.''

Paige-''All that I want is your love. We'll figure everything else out along the way.''

Seth-''I will never be one of your people.''

Paige-''You're right, you'll never be one of them. And that's why I have fallen in love with you.''

Paige put her hands on Seth's neck.

Paige-''Don't push me away because you're scared of what everyone else thinks. This has nothing to do with anyone else. This is about you and me. And we can be happy together.''

Paige smiled making Seth smile.

Paige-''You are my choice, Seth. No one will ever stop me from living my life the way I want. Not anymore.''

Seth smiled.

Paige-''Please, Seth? Let's be happy together. I love you.''

Seth-''I love you too.''

They kissed.

Dean smiled.

Dean-''Congratulations, brother.''

Dean walked off quickly before they could see him standing there.

Dean walked over to the front of the ship with his sketch book. He held onto the rope and looked over at the horizon.

Dean thought back to when he stood there and yelled out ''I'm the King Of The World!''. Dean sighed as he stood on the same spot.

Dean-''Guess I'm not the King Of The World anymore. Not without you, Becky.''

The sun started to set and the sky was turning a beautiful orange. The same colour as Becky's hair. It made Dean smile even though his heart was aching.

Then Dean heard a sweet voice say "Dean?".

Dean smiled and turned around to see Cora walking up to him.

Dean-''Hey, Cutie Pie.''

Dean picked up Cora and held her in his arms.

Cora-''What are you doing up here?''

Dean-''Just looking at the horizon.''

They both looked over at the sunset.

Cora-''It's beautiful.''

Dean-''Yeah, it is.''

Cora looked at Dean.

Cora-''You look sad. Why?''

Dean-''Well, I'm just sad that this amazing journey is coming to an end soon. By tomorrow this time, this ship will dock at New York. And then....I won't get to see Becky again.''

Cora-''Is Becky sad too?''

Dean-''Why do you ask?''

Cora-''She likes you. I can tell.''

Dean smiled sadly.

Dean-''How can you tell?''

Cora-''You make her smile.''

Dean smiled. Then Cora's parents called her making her and Dean look over at them.

Cora-''I have to go.''

Dean kissed her forehead and put her down.

Cora-''Goodnight, Dean.''

Dean-''Goodnight, Cora.''

Cora stared walking towards her parents, but then she stopped and looked at Dean again.

Cora-''Dean.''

Dean-''Yes?''

Cora-''I can tell you like Becky too.''

Dean-''How can you tell?''

Cora-''She makes you smile.''

Dean smiled.

Dean blew Cora a kiss making her giggle and she pretended to catch the kiss in the air and held onto it tightly.

Cora-''Bye, Dean!''

Dean-''Bye, Cora.''

Cora ran over to her parents and they all walked off as Dean smiled at them.

Meanwhile....
Becky was sitting having tea with Janice and a few other ladies.

Becky listened as Janice was talking about how dreadful the bridesmaids dresses were and that they all had to be redone. Next, Janice was complaining about how awful the wedding invitations looked as Becky sighed and shook her head feeling really annoyed and frustrated.

Becky looked over and saw a little girl who was probably about Cora's age. She was sitting with her mother, dressed in a fancy dress as she leaned back in her chair. Then the mother told the little girl to sit up straight and she did. Becky saw the little girl copy everything her mother did. From putting a napkin on her lap, to sitting like a lady and how to drink her tea like a proper lady.

Becky saw herself in that little girl. Recalling how she has been taught to sit, eat, drink and act like a proper lady ever since she was a little girl. She never had a chance to be a proper kid and have fun. She never even got grass or mud on her clothes knowing her mother would probably lose her mind in a second.

Becky snapped out of her thoughts and realised that she needed to get away from her mother and her constant complaints about everything that had to do with her and Wade's wedding.

Becky-''Excuse me, Mother. I have to use the ladies room.''

Janice-''Ok, dear.''

Becky left the room, but she went outside to the deck. Becky looked around and was heading to the stairs to go down to 3rd Class to find Dean when Sheamus stopped her.

Becky-''Sheamus.''

Sheamus-''Where are you going, Lass?''

Becky-''Nowhere. I-''

Sheamus smirked at her.

Becky-''Ok, fine. I am going to find Dean. I have to talk to him. I have to tell him that....''

Sheamus smiled.

Becky-''What?''

Sheamus-''Look over there.''

Sheamus pointed to the front of the ship.

Becky-''Is that Dean?''

Sheamus-''Yes, it is. He's been standing there for a while.''

Becky looked at Sheamus.

Sheamus-''Don't give up on your hopes and dreams, Lass. And don't give up on the man that truly loves you.''

Becky smiled and hugged Sheamus.

Becky-''Thank you, Sheamus.''

Sheamus-''No problem.''

They pulled away from their hug.

Sheamus-''Go get him.''

Becky giggled.

Becky went down the stairs and slowly walked onto the front of the ship. Becky paused about 20 feet away from Dean as his back was towards her. She watched him just standing there staring at the horizon and the beautiful sunset.

Becky had so many thoughts running through her mind of what she wanted to say to Dean that it felt like her head was spinning. But Becky took a deep breath and decided to do what Sheamus and Dean have been encouraging her to do.

Becky Lynch was about to follow her heart for the first time in her life.

Becky walked up and paused about 5 feet away from Dean.

Becky-''Oh, Lord. What do I say to him?''

Every time Becky felt confident, the words would start spinning in her mind.

Becky-''Deep breath, Becky.''

Becky smiled and spoke.

Becky-''Hello, Dean.''

Dean turned around in surprise, but relieved that Becky was standing there.

Becky-''I changed my mind.''

They smiled at each other.

Dean-''What made you change your mind?''

Becky-''Well, it was....actually a change of heart.''

Becky smiled nervously as Dean smiled at her with relief in his heart knowing that Becky was going to follow her dreams and more importantly....follow her heart. That is all he wants her to do. Otherwise, she'll regret it for the rest of her life.

Becky-''Dean, I....''

Becky paused as she was nervous and Dean could tell as she fiddled with the scarf around her arms.

Becky-''Dean, I want to-''

Dean-''Sshh.''

Dean said as he put his index finger on his lips.

Dean-''Come here.''

Dean reached out his hand towards Becky.

Dean-''Give me your hand.''

Becky took Dean's hand and stepped closer to him.

Becky-''What are you-''

Dean-''Sshh. It's ok. Don't be scared.''

Becky-''I'm not scared.''

Dean-''Then close your eyes for me.''

Becky looked at Dean a bit confused.

Dean-''Please?''

Dean smiled politely making Becky giggle.

Dean-''Now, close your eyes.''

Becky smiled.

Dean-''Go on.''

Becky slowly closed her eyes and peeked at Dean with one eye.

Dean-''Hey. No peeking.''

Becky giggled and shut her eyes as Dean guided her towards the front railing of the ship.

Dean-''Ok, now step up.''

Becky stepped up to where Dean was standing and he moved behind her.

Dean-''Now, hold onto the railing. And keep your eyes closed. No peeking.''

Becky-''I'm not peeking.''

Dean-''Promise you won't peek?''

Becky-''I promise.''

Dean-''Good.''

Dean & Becky chuckled and smiled.

Dean-''Now, step up slowly onto the railing.''

Becky slowly stepped onto the bottom bar of the railing and stood up straight as Dean held onto her.

Dean-''Hold on. Hold on.''

Dean stepped onto the railing behind Becky.

Dean-''Keep your eyes closed.''

Becky-''I am.''

Becky giggled.

Dean-''Do you trust me, Becky?''

Becky-''I trust you, Dean.''

Then Dean slowly stretched out Becky's arms so they were straight on either side of her. Becky smiled nervously wondering what Dean was doing.

Dean-''Ok....''

Dean put his hands on Becky's waist.

Dean-''*Whispers* Open your eyes, Becky.''

Then Becky opened her eyes. Becky couldn't believe how amazing the view looked and especially, how it felt for her.

Becky-''Oh, my gosh! Dean!''

Dean smiled.

Becky-''I'm flying, Dean!''

Dean smiled at Becky's amazement.

Becky-''Dean, I'm flying!''

Dean-''You are.''

Dean whispered. Becky looked at the horizon and feeling like she was on top of the world with the man she loves holding onto her. Dean & Becky felt like nothing else in the world existed.

Dean reached out, took Becky's hands and interlocked their fingers.

Dean-''The Sun is setting, The wind is blowing. You got to spread your wings, And start flying.''

Becky smiled as Dean sang to her.

Dean-''It will be dark soon, but that's ok. The stars will guide you, And show you the way.''

Dean & Becky looked at each other as they brought their arms inwards and held onto each other.

Then Dean & Becky leaned closer and they had their first kiss.

Dean & Becky kissed passionately at the front of the Titanic.

Titanic sailed on into the beautiful sunset. But what no one on board the ship knew, is that it would be the last time Titanic would see the Sun.
