Third Person POV
One minute Y/n was fine and then she started running across the boat while crying her eyes out. She didn't notice Jack lying on a bench while smoking a cigarette. When Jack heard footsteps and crying he sat up immediately. Y/n made it to the end of the ship when she decided to get on the other side of the rail. Before she went to the other side she made sure nobody was watching her.
Your POV
My mind was all over the place and I couldn't think so the best thing I could thought of was to just end it. I made it to the end of the ship and made sure nobody was watching before I climbed over the rail to the other side. I was looking at the water until I heard someone say...
" Don't do it." mystery guy said
I turned my head and said " Stay back. Don't come any closer."
" Come on. Just give me your hand, I'll pull you back over." He said
" No! Stay where you are." I told him, then said " I mean it. I'll let go." I looked at the water again then back at him. He showed me his cigarette and showed me that he was going to throw it over the side of the ship.
" No, you won't." he responded
" What do you mean I won't? Don't presume to tell me what and will I will do. You don't know me." I told him
" You would off done it already."
" You're distracting me. Go away!" I told him back
" I can't. I'm involved now. You let go an I'm going to have to jump in after you." He said while taking off his coat.
" Don't be absurd. Your'll be killed." I said
" I'm a good swimmer." He told me while undoing his shoes.
" The fall alone will kill you."
" It would hurt. Not saying it wouldn't. To tell you the truth, I'm more concerned about that water being to cold." He looked at me with concern in his eyes.
I looked back at the water before saying...
" How cold?"
" Freezing. Maybe a couple degrees over." He said while yanking his boot off.
" You ever been to Wisconsin?" He questioned me.
I looked at him confused " What?"
" Well they have some of the coldest winters around. I grew up there near Triple Falls. I remember as a kid me and my father, we went ice fishing on Lake Minnesota. Ice fishing is where you..."
I interrupted him by saying " I know what ice fishing is!" I huffed after. He looked very surprised.
" Sorry. You just look like an indoor girl. Anyway I fell through some thin ice. And I'm telling ya, water that cold, like right down there it hits you like a thousand knives all over you body. Can't breath. Can't think. At least nothing other than the pain. Which is why I'm not looking forward to jumping in there after ya. Like I said, I don't have a choice."
I kept staring at him until he said " I guess I'm kind of hoping you come back over the railing and get me off the hook here."
" Are you crazy!" Looking back at the water
" That's what everybody says. With all do respect miss, I'm not the one hanging off back of the ship. Come on. Give me you hand. You don't want to do this." He said while sticking his hand to me. I moved my hand slowly to his own. I turned myself slowly with his help. We were so close to each others faces. He smiled at me and said " I'm Jack Dawson."
I responded with " Y/n Y/l/n"
He smiled and said " I'm going to have to get you to write that down."
We laughed a little. " Come on" He said
I proceeded to climb up the rail before I slipped on a part of my tree. I let out a scream and grabbed on to Jack's hand tighter. Jack lets out a grunt from the impact before telling me that he has me. He kept telling me to come on until I slipped again and let out another scream.
" HELP ME PLEASE!!" I screamed
I kept screaming that until Jack said " Listen to me. I've got you. I won't let go. Now pull yourself up. Come on." He started pulling me up. " Come on. Thats right. You can do it." He then wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to the other side. " I got ya." He said
We then fell over on the floor with him on top of me.
" What's all this." One of the workers said
Jack looked scared and worried. The worker kept looking at us and by the look on his face, he thought I was in trouble.
" STAND BACK! DON'T MOVE AN INCH!"
Jack got up and moved while stuffing his hands in his pockets. The worker turned to one of the others and said " Fetch the Master arms."
'Time Skip'
By the time they came they wrapped me in a warm blanket. Y/n's fiancé-a turned to Jack and said
"Pleasantly unexpected. What made you think you could put you hands on my fiancé-a."
Jack's POV
I was getting put in hand cuffs when someone came over to me and said...
" Pleasantly unexpected. What made you think you could put you hands on my fiancé-a."
I looked him up and down then looked off to were Y/n was huddled in the blanket. Then I felt a hand on me with the same person yelling at me.
" Look at me you filth."
" Y/f/n" ( your/ fiancé-a/ name)
He then pushed me back " What do you."
"Y/f/n." She said running over grabbing his arm.
" What gave you the..." He looked at her.
" It was an accident." She proceeded to say
Everyone was looking at her now.
" Accident?" He said
I looked at them confused. I glanced at Y/n.
" It was. It was stupid really. I was leaning over and I slipped."
I kept looking between the both of them. Y/n then made eye contact with me.
" I was leaning far over to see the uh..uh..uh the uh.." She was saying while spinning her finger around.
" The propellers" Y/f/n
" Propellers and I slipped and I would have fell over board but Mr. Dawson saved me." She turned saying to me. I smiled a little and bit my lip a little.
" And almost went over himself."
" She wanted to see the propellers." Y/f/n said
" Like I said women and machinery do not mix." Someone said
I felt someone turn me " Was that the way of it?"
I glanced at Y/n and she was giving me 'please do it' face. I then said " Yeah. yeah that was pretty much it."
" Well the boys a hero then. Good for you son."
I then turned to Y/n and smiled while I could feel the hand cuffs getting taken off of me. I then glanced at the person talking I overheard Y/n's fiancé-a say " Lets get you inside."
" Uh perhaps a little something for the boy."
The both of then turned around and Y/n's fiancé-a said
" Of course. Mr. Lovejoy I think a 20 will do it."
" Ha-ha, Is that the going rate for saving the women you love." Y/n resounded with
" Y/n's displeased. What to do."
I was still listening to there conversation while putting on my jacket and shoes.
" I know." Y/f/n came walking over to me.
" Perhaps you will join us for dinner tomorrow evening. We could agate our group. Your heroic tail."
I looked at him before saying " Sure. Count me in."
" Good. Done then." He smiled and turned around. I saw him whispering to Mr. Lovejoy. I caught Y/n looking at me before walking away. I watched them leave before I gave a whistle to Mr. Lovejoy. I signed a come here motion with my hand before saying " Can I burn a smoke?"
He walked over to me and I took two before putting one behind my ear and the other in my mouth.
" You might want to tie those." he said
I looked down at my shoes then looked up again.
" It's interesting the young lady slipped so suddenly when you had time to take off your jacket and your shoes."
I just looked at him before going back to my cabin thinking about Y/n.
