Titanic: 19
Dean and Becky laid on the wooden door. Becky was now singing the song in a whisper as she shivered in Dean's arms. Becky noticed that the sounds from the other people around them was almost completely silent. All she could hear was the ocean moving and the small splashes against the sides of the wooden door.
Becky eventually stopped singing and stared out into the distance of the ice cold dark night. She started to wonder if any of the lifeboats were going to come back for them. The night was so cold, that Dean and Becky had pieces of ice in their hair.
Becky saw a few faint lights in the distance. At first she thought it was just bright stars, but the lights grew a little brighter and bigger. The lights were also moving around from side to side. Becky also started hearing a sound, but it was so blurry that she couldn't make it out.
Becky-''What....is that?''
Becky's voice cracked in a whisper as she lifted her head up from Dean's chest a little bit.
Becky blinked hard several times and tried to focus so she could see & hear better. Then she heard that the sound was a voice calling out and the light was a torch from a lifeboat coming back for them.
It was Officer Lowe & Roman who were calling out and shining torches around to see for any survivors as the two lifeboats rowed side by side.
Lowe-''HELLO?!!''
Roman-''CAN ANYONE HEAR US?!!''
Lowe-''IS THERE ANYONE ALIVE OUT THERE?!!''
They rowed slowly by the people once they reached them. They checked everyone and they moved the people aside gently before continuing to row on.
Lowe-''Be careful. Make sure you don't hit them.''
The sight of the people dead in the water was truly devastating and heartbreaking to see.
Lowe-''We have to keep looking. There has to be survivors!''
The men were determined to find survivors as they continued on while calling out.
Becky smiled weakly realising that help came. Becky lifted herself up a little bit on Dean's chest and looked at the lifeboats in the distance.
Becky-''Dean. Dean, they came back for us. Help is here.''
Becky smiled and she looked at Dean.
Becky-''There's a boat, Dean. There's a boat.''
But then Becky noticed that Dean's eyes were closed.
Becky-''Dean? Dean, open your eyes. They've come back for us, Dean. Dean!''
Becky started to panic a little bit as she shook Dean's shoulder. But then the grip of his arms around her loosened and his arms fell onto the door.
Becky-''No. No, Dean! Dean!''
Becky started crying and continued to shake Dean, but he wouldn't open his eyes.
Becky-''Dean!''
Becky's voice cracked every time she tried to yell for Dean to wake up, but her voice was just a loud whisper every time.
Becky-''Dean! Dean, please?! Wake up! Wake up!''
Becky cried and laid her forehead on Dean's chest as the boats rowed by them several feet away. Becky didn't look up, so she didn't see that Roman & Sheamus were there as she cried on Dean's chest.
Becky-''I'm not leaving you.''
Becky continued to cry and shut her eyes as she decided to stay with Dean. She didn't want to leave him.
But then Becky recalled what Dean asked her.
Dean-''Promise me, that you'll never let go? Promise me, Becky.''
Becky-''I promise. I promise I'll never let go, Dean.''
Dean kissed Becky.
Dean-''Never let go.''
Becky-''I promise.''
Then Becky opened her eyes and lifted up her head and looked at Dean as tears fell down her face.
Becky-''I promise, Dean. I promise.''
Then Becky looked up at the lifeboats and she saw Sheamus stand up as he looked around while shining the torch.
Becky-''Sheamus? Sheamus!''
Becky's voice was so weak, she knew Sheamus wouldn't hear her. But she had to get his attention somehow.
Becky lifted herself up and moved onto her knees on the wooden door next to Dean, causing it to wobble and more water got onto the door. Becky was trying to think of a way to make noise to get Sheamus' attention. Then she saw that Dean had the handcuffs around his wrists that she had cut to get him free and she had an idea.
Becky grabbed Dean's hand with her right hand, interlocked her fingers with his and started knocking the metal handcuff as hard as she could against the door to make noise while she also waved her left arm in the air.
Becky-''Come back! Sheamus, come back!''
Lowe-''Hold on! Do you hear that?''
The men listened and heard the knocking.
Sheamus & Lowe shined their torches around and then they saw Becky waving her arm in the air.
Sheamus-''BECKY!!''
Becky cried when she heard Sheamus say her name.
Becky-''Sheamus!''
Becky stopped waving and sat down next to Dean while holding his hand. Becky looked at Dean and squeezed his hand.
Becky-''Dean *crying* wake up.''
Becky pleaded with Dean to open his eyes for just a moment. Just to give her a sign that he was gonna be ok and that he was alive.
The lifeboats got to Becky & Dean as she continued to shake Dean.
Sheamus-''Lass!''
Roman-''Dean!''
Sheamus & Roman looked at Becky as she looked at them with tears running down her face as she held onto Dean's hand.
Becky-''Dean....h-he kept me out of the w-water. I-I think he got too cold.''
Becky just broke down as Sheamus & Roman were devastated and shocked. Cold chills went through their bodies and it wasn't because of the cold air that they were in.
Roman-''Becky.....is he....?''
Becky just cried not knowing what to say. Or didn't want to say what she already thought she knew.
Sheamus-''Lass, come on. You gotta get out of the water that you're sitting in on that door and get on the boat.''
Becky-''I can't! I can't leave him!''
Sheamus & Roman could see the pain on Becky's face.
Sheamus-''I know, Lass. But we have to go.''
Tears fell down Roman's face as he stared at Dean laying there motionless on the wooden door.
Sheamus-''Becky, come into the boat.''
Becky-''I promised! I promised him I'd never let go.''
Becky leaned over and kissed Dean's cheek. Then she laid her head down on Dean's chest as the men looked at her sadly.
Becky-''Please, Dean! Come back!''
Roman & Sheamus cried quietly as they heard Becky pleading with Dean.
Sheamus-''Becky, we have to-''
Becky sat up fast and stared at Dean in shock.
Becky-''Dean?!''
Roman & Sheamus looked at Becky wondering what was going on.
Roman-''Becky, what is it?''
Becky-''I-I-I.....I heard a heartbeat.''
The men were shocked.
Sheamus-''Lass, I think you just imagined it.''
Becky-''No! I-I heard it!''
Becky laid her head on Dean's chest again to make sure. Then she heard it again.
Becky-''I hear it!''
Becky lifted up her head and stared at Dean in shock.
Becky-''There's a heartbeat! *looks at Sheamus & Roman* Dean's heart is beating!''
Roman-''Then we have to hurry and get him on the boat!''
Becky nodded.
Becky-''Right.''
Then Sheamus & Roman reached over and pulled the wooden door closer to the lifeboat. Becky slowly stood up and Sheamus picked her up and sat her down in the boat.
Then Lowe stepped over into the boat to help Roman & Sheamus pick up Dean and they placed him down in the lifeboat.
They grabbed a few blankets that were on the boat and wrapped them around Dean as well as giving Becky some blankets. Lowe stepped back over into the other boat as Becky laid down next to Dean to keep him warm.
Lowe-''We should keep looking for more survivors, gentlemen.''
The men nodded as Becky rested her head on Dean's chest. She cried happy tears as she could hear his heartbeat. It was faint, but it was there.
After searching some more, the men found a few more people that were alive and brought them on board. But unfortunately, the rest had died from hypothermia.
Lowe-''We can head back to the other boats. There are no more survivors.''
Lowe said sadly. Then they all started making their way back to the other lifeboats as Becky continued to lay down next to Dean as she held his hand.
After several minutes, Becky soon fell asleep as Sheamus smiled at her sadly.
Roman-''She sleeping?''
Sheamus-''Yeah. I'm so worried about her. Worried about both of them.''
Roman-''Me too. They were in that freezing cold water for a long time. And Dean....''
Sheamus-''Hey, there's a heartbeat. Which means there's hope.''
Roman nodded and held back his tears.
Roman-''Right. Dean's a fighter.''
Sheamus-''That's right, fella.''
They smiled sadly and continued to row with the other lifeboat.
30 Minutes Later.
Officer Lowe and the others got back to the other lifeboats.
Charlotte-''Roman. Did you find them?''
Roman-''We found Dean & Becky.''
Sheamus-''They're alive, but....they're both sleeping at the moment.''
Paige-''Thank goodness.''
Sheamus & Roman nodded to each other in agreement that they weren't going to tell the others about Dean's condition. At least not yet, because they didn't want them to worry.
Officer Lowe stood up in the lifeboat facing all of the other lifeboats.
Lowe-''We found some survivors! But the rest *sighs sadly* didn't make it.''
Everyone nodded sadly.
Lowe-''Help is on the way! Just try to stay as warm as you can. The RMS Carpathia will be here soon!''
Everyone nodded as they were glad to know that help was coming. Everyone was relieved that Officer Lowe & the men found survivors, but they were also saddened by the loss of the other innocent people that lost their lives.
