Chapter 1

The Start of Something New

"Charlie!" No answer. "Charlie!" Still no answer. Elizabeth Swann walked down the hallway, stopping to put her purse on the hallway table. Her apartment was quiet. She was sure her boyfriend would be home. She had gotten home early from the spa where she had been for the past two days. Elizabeth checked her watch again. 5:14 is read. He should be home from work by now. Elizabeth though. "Charlie!" She called once more. She got to the end of the hallway and walked up the stair of her London flat she shared with her boyfriend. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed when she walked into her bedroom.

What she saw made her freeze in her tracks. Charlie was lying in bed, naked, with their maid. Her eyes filled with tears as he got up and wrapped the blanket around his waist and walked toward her.

"Elizabeth, I didn't know you were home"

"Oh I'm sorry. I'll just leave so you can finish" She said sarcastically before storming out. Charlie followed.

"Elizabeth, let me explain!" But Elizabeth kept going. "Please, she meant nothing to me! I love you, you know that!"

She stopped right before going down the stairs and turned and looked at him. "It doesn't matter what she meant to you! It matters that you did it, not why!"

"Look, we didn't intend for this to happen. We were talking about business…" He began but was cut off by Elizabeth.

"Business? When she asked for a bonus in her pay check last week, I had no idea this is what she meant!" She said through her tears.

"You're being hysterical!"

"I have every right to be! You're fucking the help!"

"I wouldn't put it like that. You're making it sound worst than it is"

Elizabeth was just stayed silent, trying to calm down and hold back her tears. "I'll come get my things later" She finally said after a few moments. She walked down the stairs, grabbed her purse and left, Charlie just stood and watched her.

Elizabeth walked silently and slowly down the streets of London. She didn't know where she was going. She wanted to be alone, but she didn't have any where to go to be alone.

Tears began to cloud her vision, so she sat down at a park bench. She put her head in her hands and let the tears fall freely, not noticing all the people starring at her. It started pouring down rain, but she didn't move. Elizabeth could hear heavy foot steps as people ran for cover. She didn't know how long she had been crying for, but a voice caught her attention.

"Um, miss" A British voice flowed through her ears. She looked up and saw a man. He was fairly tall with dark, curly brown hair that was barley touching his shoulders. He had a little mustache and hair on his chin. He was wearing a yellow t-shirt under a black blazer and black pants with a messenger bag slung over his shoulder and an umbrella over his head.

"Yes?" She choked back her tears.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but are you okay?"

"I'm fine"

"Oh, cause most people don't sit in the rain crying unless something's wrong"

"Well, I'll be fine…later"

"Would you like my umbrella? I'm going inside in a moment, I won't need it"

"Thanks" Elizabeth stood up and he handed it to. They were now face to face and she couldn't help but notice that he had dark brown eyes.

"No problem" He gave a small smile then walked away.

Elizabeth walked a bit before deciding where to go. By now it was practically pitch black outside and the cold was getting to her. She tried to hail a cab and after about 10 minutes, one finally stopped and she went to her best friend's house.

She knocked on the door and a short, brunette, blue eyed American girl answered. Her long hair was pulled into a pony tail and she was wearing Family Guy pajama pants and a tank top.

"Hi, Sam" Elizabeth said, letting out all of her sobs. Her friend hugged her and closed the door. She walked her over to the couch and sat down.

"What's wrong?"

"He…when I got home…the maid" She started crying harder and Sam rocked back and fourth trying to calm her friend.

"Who, Charlie? What did Charlie do?"

"The maid"

"He slept with Victoria?" She exclaimed.

Elizabeth nodded. "That French slut!"

"But he loves you so much. Why would he do that?"

"Cause he's a fucking ass! He tricked me. He made me think he was the best guy any woman could ever want! He was sweet, caring, sensitive. He made me love him, then turned around and stabbed me in the back when he had sex with her!"

"Sshh…Sshh. It's okay. It'll be fine"

"What's wrong with me? Why doesn't he love me? How did I screw this up? Why wasn't I enough for him?"

"Nothings wrong with you. I don't know why he doesn't love you. You didn't screw it up, he did. And you were enough for him, but he's just too arrogant to realize it. Now stop beating yourself up about it" Sam answered Elizabeth's endless questioning. "Come on. Let's load up on junk food and watch sad movies"

"That sounds good"

"I'm gonna run out and get a bunch of food before the store closes and I have like 20 minutes" She got up slipped on flip flops and a coat then grabbed her keys off the coffee table and a 50 dollar bill from her purse and stuck it in her pocket. "Make some popcorn and pick a movie, I'll be right back" She said then left.

It was about 1:00pm and Titanic had just ended. The coffee table was covered with wrappers, empty candy boxes, soda cans, bowls of popcorn, glasses of margaritas, ice cream cartons, and tissues. Elizabeth was sleeping with her head on the arm rest and she was sucking her thumb. She had a tendency to suck on her thumb while sleeping when something was bothering her. Sam was awake though. She got up, turned off the TV and covered Elizabeth with a blanket before going to her bed to sleep.

Later that night, Elizabeth groaned as she opened her eyes. She checked the digital clock by the front door.

3:51 the bright red numbers read.

She turned her head and stared out the window behind the couch. She watched the rain beat hard on the wind. She could see trees blowing back and fourth outside in the wind. Her big brown eyes started to fill with tears again, but she choked them back. Elizabeth took a deep breath and closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep again. But sleep wouldn't come.

After about half and hour she gave up. She got up and walked over to the kitchen. She found some left over margaritas in the blender. She got a straw from the straw dispenser on the counter and stuck it in the blender. She took the blender glass and walked back over to the couch. She sat there for about and hour and a half until her eye lids felt heavy and she fell asleep.

The next day, the rain had stopped except a few drizzles here and there. Elizabeth was sitting at a table in a coffee house, reading the newspaper for apartment listings while drinking coffee. She was waiting until she had enough courage to go back to her apartment and get her things. But she knew Charlie would be there. And he was one thing she didn't want to face, not again.

Two bed, one bath, pool and spa, $1,500 a month Elizabeth read to her self and shrugged.

She was staying at Sam's until she could find her own place. But she was desperate to move out and move on with her life.

One bed, one bath, pool, no spa, $450 a month Elizabeth read another listing to her self.

"Anything good?" A man asked.

"Ehh, I guess" She said before looking up.

In front of her stood the same man from the night before.

"Oh, hi. Um, your umbrella is actually at my friend's apartment. Sorry, I would've given it to you"

"Don't worry about it; I've got another" He gestured to the chair across from her, asking to sit down. She nodded.

"I didn't catch your name yesterday" He stated sitting down, putting his black leather jacket over the back of his chair.

"Elizabeth"

The man smiled, "Will. So, Elizabeth, you feeling better than last night?"

"Depends what you mean by better"

Will laughed. "So, can I buy you biscotti to go with your coffee?"

"Yeah, thanks"

They talked and laughed for a bit before Will had to go and Elizabeth decided she should go get her things before she totally chickened out. They said goodbye at the door and went their separate ways. Elizabeth watched him walk away, a smile tucking at her lips. It went away when she started thinking she would never see him again.
