Author's Note: Hey and thanks for reading this fic. In the story, Will and Elizabeth don't exist at this point. But I might introduce them later in the story. More likely to have Will, not Elizabeth. This is my first "Jack You" fic, so please review and tell me what you think. Thanks!

"Liar" Andrew spat at your face.

"No I'm not!" you yelled back at him, tears dripping down your face. How did you get yourself into this mess?

"Yes you are, ever since I met you, you've been lying to me about everything! You probably have had affairs all along, haven't you? All you can do is lie!" he said. He didn't understand. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Then you remembered, you can't. He continued,

"At first when you told me you loved me, I had my doubts. I knew in the depths of my heart I loved you. Then, I came to believe you. I should never have had anything to do with you in the first place! You miserably cur! All you will be good at is lying, acting, deceiving. Leave now, your name here! Leave, I never want to see you again!" he said in a fiery rage.

He was right, all you can do is lie. You couldn't say anything, too filled with shame. You left the house, you left Andrew, you left life as you knew it all behind. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, you decided to walk around the boring Port Royale town. You had heard that there was a hanging of a pirate going on at noon. Although you hated hangings, you decided to go. There was lack of anything better to do. You could visit your friends Mary and Lorenzo, but you thought better of it. "Must not let them know my condition".

At noon...

The official was reading from a proclamation when you arrived at the hanging. "Jack Sparrow , be it known that you have for your willful commission of crimes against the crown. Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature, the most egregious of these to be cited herewith - piracy, smuggling, impersonating an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy, impersonating a cleric of the Church of England, sailing under false colors, arson, kidnapping, looting, poaching, brigandage, pilfering, depravity, depredation, and general lawlessness. And for these crimes you have been sentenced to be, on this day, FOR THE FIFTH TIME, hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul."

"How horrible!" You thought to yourself. You couldn't catch a good look of the man, but he must have been a ruthless criminal to have convicted so many crimes and been sentenced to hang for the fifth time.

"I wonder how he could have gotten away with it so many times!" You said out loud. The young man next to you answered your question right away. "Have you not heard, Miss. That's Jack Sparrow, the most feared pirate of the Caribbean. He's escaped from the noose on several occasions. He was saved thrice, and the other two times is unknown how he got away. Personally, I like to think he was a great hero, that Jack Sparrow." he explained.
You nodded pleasantly at the man. You couldn't understand why a man, or rather a pirate, could be a hero at all. He continued speaking to you, but you didn't catch the words because the drum roll had begun. He would be dead within moments. Suddenly, you remembered something from your childhood. A distance memory of how to grip a sword. With motivation from where, you couldn't tell, you took the young mans blade and pushed and shoved through the crowd. Just at the executioner had pulled the lever to the trap door, you flung the blade and just as you wanted it to, cut the thick rope around the pirate's neck. A series of gasps occured all around you. The pirate ran towards you, picked you up and escaped from the town square with many shots aming at him and you.

"Mister put me down!" you yelled when you and the pirate had lost the Royal Navy behind you.

"Shhh, luv" he said. You couldn't help but notice how handsome he was. Dark hair and dark eyes outlined is dark dark kohl, perfectly tanned skin and a drawl to match. "I thank ye for saving me. Not everyday a bonny lass like you saves Captain Jack Sparrow from the noose. I must be off now, before my ship leaves port."

"No! Don't go!" you yelled. What had possessed you to do that!

"Luv, I suggest instead of quarreling with pirates you get yourself home and stay away from trouble."

"That's the problem" you muttered.

"What?" he said.

"I have no home" you wanted to say. Just then it hit you. You are homeless. You knew you didn't have a home, but you never thought about it as being "homeless". You instinctively started crying. Jack looked half flustered and half sorry for you.

"Listen luv, I'd love to sit and chat with you but I've got no time! Unless you suggest we both get caught here, and we both get hanged, I think we should go about our own ways, Savvy?" You were kind of annoyed by his insensitiveness. Couldn't he have said something along the lines of "Come with me!". What were you thinking? Galavanting with pirates? The thought was unimaginable. You could never go with him, or any of his sort.

"I've got to go" he said. And with that he was off.

Homeless and alone, and with a terrible curse bestowed upon you. Now what are you going to do?
