A/N: Ok, I'm getting kinda bored o' me 1st 2 fics, and I've got mega Writer's Block on both of 'em, so here's a new fic 4 all of ye lovely Jack fans out there! The rating may go up, but I'm not sure about writing 'graphic' stuff, so we'll see how it goes!
It's written half diary, half third-person narrative, there'll be ----- in between each change-of-narrative. Sorry if it's a bit confusing!!!!!!!!!

Prologue - Secret Meeting

Lilac was bored. Bored of attending social gatherings, bored of meeting would-be husbands, bored of her life. But for her secret meetings, she would have run away years ago.

-----

I saw Jack again today. He's so sweet, but I can't keep seeing him...what if Mother finds out? If only he weren't so fixated on becoming a pirate, he might be considered a suitor for me. I did bring up the idea once, but Mother put it down to my fever. Jack and I have made a vow to never tell anyone of our meetings, lest my parents discover us. He said he'd made enough money to buy a small ship and all he needed was a crew. I don't want him to leave. I don't know what I'd do without him.

-----

After she was sure her mother's attention had been distracted, Lilac slipped out of the French doors to the garden. As she walked she was watched, though she did not know it. Her purple dress floated around her ankles as she glided through the moonlit garden to the trees, away from the house where she knew she wouldn't be seen by anyone from the house.

"Where are ye Jack?" she whispered, dropping her lady-like accent she adopted in polite company, "ye said ye'd be here."

"I am 'ere, luv," came a voice from behind her. "Ye look beautiful t'night, as always."

"Thank ye. Yer not so bad yerself."

"Luv..."

"Aye?"

"There's summat I need ter be tellin' ye," Jack paused, uncertain.

"What Jack? What is it?"

"I-I've got meself a ship. And a crew. I need ter leave t'morrow night, latest."

"Why, Jack?" Lilac was confused. She'd known this was coming, but why so soon? And so sudden?

"It's callin' me, Lily, the ocean is callin'. I cannay ignore it,savvy?"

Lilac smiled at the use of his favourite word; he'd picked it up from a book and God forbid if anyone else should use it.

"Listen, they'll miss ye if ye don' go back now. Leave."

"But-"

"No buts. I'm leavin' ter become a pirate. Me ship's called the Black Pearl. I'll be droppin' by ev'ry now an' again ter check up on ye."

"Jack, I..." Lilac trailed off.

"Ye what, luv?"

"Nothin'. Yer right, I should go. Bye Jack."

"Bye luv. I won' forget ye."

But she was already gone, needing to be alone, to hide the tears that shone on her face.

-----

I nearly told him. I can't bear to let him go. I'm going to run away. Tonight. I'll stowaway on a ship to Tortuga. He's bound to land there eventually. I can here footsteps on the stairs, I've got to hide this. No- one must know how I feel about Jack. This is the first time I've even admitted it to myself. I love him.
