TITLE: Wasted
RATING: PG-13 for now.
PAIRING: Jack/Elizabeth
DISCLAIMER: If I owned anything, I wouldn't be sitting here writing this, so I do not own a thing.
WARNINGS: Spoilery for AWE, if you don't want to be spoiled, then don't read.
SUMMARY: I'm really unhappy with the current ending of the trilogy, so I decided to write a fic for what could happen after Will returns and what could happen during the 10 years. I actually may get sidetracked from both of those ideas, but that was originally my point.
PROLOGUE
The tide washed the shoreline back out into the sea. One week. Only what, 9 years, 51 weeks to go? Her choice was beginning to make her regret everything she had done. Regret was becoming the most undesirable word in her mind. Why? Why had she agreed to this? Why had she agreed to leave Jack and stay here and wait for ten years? She knew it was because she couldn't burden her thoughts with a guilty conscience.
But now, she really felt that burden, even though she had not a reason in the world to worry.
Jack Sparrow.
Somehow, his words always reached her mind.
"Keep telling yourself that, darling."
He knew.
He had known all along that she would never let her final place be with him.
He knew that their one kiss was all they needed.
He knew the whole truth, he saw her true apprehensions lain across her face.
She had left him for this. For this damned spot of the world where she was doomed to wait for ten years for her so named beloved.
The years lay their boundless toll upon her as the sun fell into the horizon once again.
