Jake gave his mom a hug and shook his dad's hand, and then waved good bye, he couldn't manage to say anything. Jake wasn't even sure he would ever come back to London. After the sad good bye he walked up the ramp, boarding the titanic, he was glad he wouldn't have to take the tug boat like the 3rd class passangers. It took him 6 months of Cashier Duty at Smith's Grocery store and 100 dollars from his parents to buy his second class ticket to the United States.
Upon reaching the new world Jake would meet up with his wife Elizabeth and thier new baby boy William.They have been living with Jakes brother Joseph while Jake stayed in London to raise money for him to come as well, his paretns offered to pay his way but jake already lived with his paretns, he couldn't mooch off them much more. In the US, Elizabeth got a job as a stay at home seamstress, a very rare job. Jake hadn't seen any of his pay check go to himself for a very long time, accept for the casual pack of ciggerates he bought. Anyhow all his money has been sent over seas to help pay for Elizabeth and Will living at his brother house. Although Joe didn't want any money, both Jake and Elizabeth thought it was correct to pay him.
Coming out of his day-dream jake looked down at himself. He thought he looked rather dashing at the moment. His parents bought him a new dress shirt, vest and dress pants. The blue vest matched quite nicely with the with shirt and black pants, Jake still couldn't figure out why he was so dressed up to board a boat. It doesn't matter, as soon as i get off this thing i get to see my beautiful wife and baby boy Jake thought to himself, he had some many mixed feelings. In one hand he wished Elizabeth would have stayed in London, but she insisted life would be much more fun and pleasent in the "New World" and all Jake does is try to impress her. On the other hand, he's happy he's getting to take an adventure, he has lived with his parents his entire life, and if not for working at the bowling alley he would have never met Elizabeth.
The sound of the ships steam stacks sounded and the titanic took off from it's port. Jake looked around seeing the crowd of people all around him, realising jsut how big of a boat he was on, then waved to the large crowd that he was leaving behind.... including his parents. He lit a cigerette and let his mind drift away with the boat.
