Author's note: I don't own Will or Elizabeth because if I did, I would've told Gore Verbinski to give them more screen time……Anyways, enjoy!

What I thought…

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Will Turner walked into the room he had been assigned to. In it were two beds and a clean shirt on one of them. How Tia Dalma did know I needed this?, thought Will, his brow furrowed. Will had been whipped on his short stay on the Flying Dutchman. He had told no one about them-not even Elizabeth- yet it was hard to ignore as it stung really bad especially since they were exposed to the sea.

He saw her. He saw Elizabeth kiss Jack. Of course, he didn't know she did it only to save them all. He thought she loved Jack and not him anymore. His heart grew heavy, realizing that he was losing the only person he had left to count on. The only woman he ever loved……….

Will took his jacket off, revealing a blood-stained almost completely torn shirt. Behind him, Elizabeth saw all this. She came to share a cabin with Will, whom she noticed has not spoken to her since the incident, rather than spend the night with the crew. She gasped softly and bit her lip. She didn't know he had endured some much for her sake. Will winced as he put the new shirt on himself when it brushed against his wounds. Elizabeth walked in and pretended that she didn't see anything and gave Will a weak smile which he didn't return.

"I was wondering whether I could spend the night here…..", said Elizabeth, squirming uncomfortably.

"Of course", replied Will a little coldly. Elizabeth noticed he was trying to avert her gaze.

"Goodnight then"

"Goodnight", muttered Will as he and Elizabeth settled into their beds, trying to forget what happened earlier. They knew nothing would ever make them forget but they tried, just for the sake of sleeping. Silence gripped the room as the two people in it fell asleep to each other's comforting breathing.

Sunlight greeted Elizabeth like an old friend the next morning. The first thing she did was to check if Will was still there. He wasn't. Elizabeth went out of the room, deciding to keep an eye on Will because of his injuries. She found him on the deck, loading the new ship with supplies even with his wounds. He was limping rather badly though. Will was so selfless and altruistic. Will reappeared going out the ship, sitting on a crate, pale, weak and yet so strong. Elizabeth made her way cautiously toward him.

"Are you feeling alright?" Elizabeth noticed that Will was again determinedly looking anywhere but at her.

"I'm fine", Will lied although he knew that his emotions played helplessly on his face. Elizabeth saw through this; Will had never been particularly good at lying. Finally, Will looked up to her eyes. Their eyes locked and revealed what they felt. His showed pain, anger, betrayal and love. Hers showed guilt, worry, concern and grief. Will couldn't take it anymore, he quickly left the scene just to get away from her at the moment. She loves him. She loves Jack. She loves me no more than Jack hates rum. If she'll be happier with him, I'll do it……..

Elizabeth knew from Will's eyes that there was something wrong. She yearned to find out but already had a feeling what it is. He couldn't have seen me. He can't have. He must think I love Jack now. What have I done? Tia Dalma approached Elizabeth who didn't notice at all because she was deep in thought. Tia smiled mysteriously.

"There be something wrong wad you and da boy" Elizabeth turned her head to face her. She obviously knew more about their relationship than herself.

"Do you know what happened?", Elizabeth asked.

"Ms. Swann, da boy be in pain. Him heart and body both. I cannot do anything more.' With that, she walked away.

Elizabeth's fear became a reality. Her blood grew cold and sweat trickled down her forehead. She knew that she had to talk to him. Soon. She sighed and followed the crew to the readied ship. This is gonna be a long journey, she thought.

Please tell me what you think!!! R&R, k? I can take it all, I swear. BTW, this is my first fanfic so tell me what I did wrong. If there are reviews, I'll update it. If not, I'd probably start a new one.
