Summary: The sequel to FEELINGS TOO DEEP TO ADMIT TO YOU.

Pirates of the Caribbean turns 21st Century. Will, Lizzie, Jack and the rest of the POTC crew are all College students in my modern day story of their lives. Will is in a coma due to an injury suffered by protecting Elizabeth. Now everyone is trying to pick up the pieces of their lives.

Pairings: Jack / Anamaria, Will (?) / Elizabeth and a lot of other characters.

Disclaimer: All the characters, ships, and places in the Caribbean belong to Walt Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (I wish). Some of the new characters are my own creations and therefore I have some ownership over them. The shopping centre is one in Cape Town; SA and I also don't own that name.

Warning: Rating will go up for blood, gore and suicide. Beware also for plotting and backstabbing galore.

A/N: Please read and tell me what you think. First read FEELINGS TOO DEEP TO ADMIT TO YOU, otherwise you may not understand what is going on in this story. All reviews and ideas on coming chapters are most welcome.

Chapter 1 – What's Going On Now

Before I start here's the story so far:

It's four months after the tragic day in Feelings.

Will is still in a coma and there's no more hope for him.

Elizabeth is sitting by his side daily and waiting for him to wake up.

Jack and Anamaria are still going out and trying to get over everything that has happened so far.

Estrella had committed suicide after they were captured.

James is also in a coma but has severe brain damage and will never be the same person again.

Elizabeth's father wants to send her away for a while but she refuses to go. James' parents are sueing Will for attempting to kill their son, while there are drug, attempted murder, kidnapping and other charges against James.

So now on to the story:

Monday, 21 September 2004

I thought my life was perfect. I had everything I wanted. The perfect life, a boyfriend who loved me and the best of friends. Who would know that it would take one man to tear my life apart?

I was happy. Me and Will were going to spend my life together and now…. Well now I just don't know what's going to happen to us.

Elizabeth Swann

-------

The birds were chirping and it was the perfect day in the city of Port Royale. Everyone was happy, except for one person.

A dark, blonde haired woman was sitting inside a room. She was watching over the man she loved, with hope that he might one day open his eyes and smile at her, telling her how much he loved her.

But that was only false hopes.

The doctors said that he would never be the same again if he should wake and that was what she feared the most.

"You should get some rest," Jack said as he looked at her.

"No" she said, "I want to stay here."

"He's not coming back Lizzie" Jack said although it was so hard to utter those words.

Will had been in a coma for nearly five months now and had shown no improvements. He was just wasting away and there was nothing they could do for him.

He looked at is friend. He had walked in on this picture every day.

Will was very thin and looked normal. His wounds had healed and all his bruises were gone. The only wounds were those to his brain. He reacted a little to the shock but that was all. The doctors gave him another month, at the most, before his heart and lungs would start to give out.

He just hoped that Elizabeth would be able to get over it. At least she had time to say goodbye and accept his death, should that time come.

Mr. Turner was hiding in his work as was Jack and Anamaria themselves. College had started and they were all very busy with work.

Elizabeth went to class and did her work but then she was at Will's side. She wouldn't accept defeat and talked to him everyday as if trying to pull him back. They all hoped that she would succeed in her task.

"I'll see you later," Jack said and she nodded. He got up and walked out of the room feeling cold and sad. Estrella's secret lay heavy on his heart but he promised to keep it and he would.

Will wasn't even aware of her death and he knew that his friend would be devastated if he knew. They could now only hope and pray as they've been doing the past four months.

Will needed to be okay and he believed he would. Nothing can come in the way of love, as Elizabeth and Will has proved in the past.

A/N – So what do you think? Sorry it's so short but it'll get longer, promise.
