AN: this is pretty lame, but my mind was screaming for me to write it. It's about Elizabeth's feelings for Jack in different scenes of the movie. This is only going to be an oneshot, but I would love reviews. This is my first fanfic on PotC. Sorry if that the words aren't exact, I've only seen the movie once, and it's hard to remember every line when there's so much excitement going on.

I do not own any of theses characters, I think Disney does.

This stupid compass had to be broken, it was continually changing directions. I had some faith in it due to the fact that jack had used it to find Isla de Muerta. I snapped it shut, hoping that somehow the lack of light would fix it, though in my heart I knew that it was really because I had not yet decided on what I wanted most.

/…/…/

I was leading the group, the compass poised in my outstretched hand. The arrow was spinning, and I was hoping that it would stop soon before anyone found out about my problem.

I halted, and so did the needle of the compass. I looked toward where it was pointing, toward Jack.

No, it just couldn't be. I loved will not this… enchanting… mysterious… I tried to push these distracting thoughts out, but with no prevail. Maybe I did actually love him, Norrington had said from the look I had given him on the ship, that I most certainly did.

I dropped to the ground. " This compass is broken." Jack came up beside me staring at the compass. I certain that he could tell that it was pointing straight toward him.

" Your sitting on it, get up." I glanced down, and it was without a doubt pointing directly at me. I scrambled out of the way. I could feel my heart dropping. For one fleeting moment I had believed that I did love jack, but after all, it seemed he wasn't what I wanted most.

/…/…/

Everyone was climbing down into the long boat, I realized now that jack was the what I wanted most. Seeing him stand before me while the kraken was attacking made even this horrible near death moment, just that much more bearable.

I walked toward him. " You came back." He met my gaze, " you're a good man." I stepped closer, leaning in to kiss him. I couldn't believe how much I had wanted this, but I knew that what I was about to do was the best for everyone. I locked the shackle around his wrist.

" The kraken wants you, Jack. Not any of us, and I'm not even going to be sorry." The look he gave me was not one I expected. It contained not one hint of fear, or betrayal, his eyes blank, a slight smile touching the edges of his lips.

" You're a pirate." I turned and walked away, trying to shake away my guilt. I knew it was a lie, I would be beyond sorry.

" Where's Jack?" I didn't bother to see who spoke.

" He decided to stay here… to give us a better chance." I looked down tears clouding my vision. I heard a sickening crack, and I knew that the black pearl would no longer have a chance of sailing off toward the horizon after another happy ending. Happy endings where fake, they would only last a short time even if you found one.

/…/…/

I never should have kissed him, but I did, and I savored every moment of it. Jack was gone, and it was all because of me. I sat in the corner of Tia Dalma's hut, staring at a tray of steaming drinks she was holding in front of me.

I close my ears to the things being said around me, and allowed myself to wallow in self-pitty, I had rid myself of the thing which I desired most, and there was no taking it back now.

" Would you sail to ends of the world to find him?" I knew the answer right away. Yes, yes I would.

AN: yes it's cheesy, yes it's poorly written, and yes it's boring and full of fluff. This is sort of like the prologue to the fanfic I'm trying to write now. It's my own version of the third pirates movie. R&R please
