You woke up, in your large cozy bed. Looked around, wondering where the hell your bloody maid was. Reluctantly you got out of bed, washed up, got dressed and headed down the staircase to the kitchen.

"Good morning Daddy" you yawned

"Morning sweetheart, I won't be home tonight, business as usual. Commodore Norrington is making me work graveyard shift" "Again Daddy?" you said slightly annoyed. Your dad worked so hard for the Commodore, but ever since Elizabeth Swann, he's been making everybody do his work while he wallowed in self pity. He made Gillette- your dad, do all the work. "Afraid so, oh I almost forgot to tell you, Cathy told me to ask you to meet her by the port, and she said it was urgent"

Slightly concerned you kissed your father on the cheek, and headed out the door.

You wondered what was so urgent, but if Cathy whom you've been best friends with since you were 3 said it was urgent, you defiantly were going to be there.

"Cathy!" you cried, glad to see your friend in one piece "what's wrong? Daddy told me you wanted to meet me here, he said it was urgent." "Oh, its wonderful news, but I wanted to say good-bye"

"Goodbye? What do you mean, how is this wonderful? Where are you going?" you ask holding back tears. You're mother walked out on your family; you didn't need your best friend leaving you too.

"Don't worry I'll visit you whenever I get the chance." She said with a smile "I'm becoming a pirate, I'm setting sail tomorrow" "You want to be a pirate? Are you mad? How are you going to get a crew, or a ship?" "A lovely Captain invited me on a voyage" she smiled again "His name is Jack, he saw me upset and welcomed me to come with if I needed a place to stay, another fight with Mom." You forced a smile, but it was genuine. You knew your best friend never felt loved at home; you knew she needed to be with people who cared.

"When are you going, and at what time tomorrow?"

"9pm, please meet me here so I can say good-bye" "I will defiantly be there!"

You hugged her, she said farewell as she left to start packing.

You walked back into the house, finding your father in tears.

"Daddy what's wrong?" you asked, trying to think of what could have happened.

"I lost my job, I've been fired, that's what wrong" he yelled!

"Daddy I'm so sorry, how come?" "I got fired because of you! I spend too much time supporting you than putting effort into my work, you are a disgrace to this family!" he screamed his voice getting louder, showing no sign of remorse.

Not knowing whether to cry or to scream you stormed off, you knew you could count on Cathy to make you feel better.

You knocked on Cathy's door so hard it hurt your hand.

Immediately she answered inviting you in.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Minutes later, she knew every detail, and then she asked a question that will affect your life drastically.

"Do you want to come with me?"

You thought a moment, Cathy was your only friend, you had acquaintances but they were all snobs, your father hated you, what did you have to lose? "Sure! Would the Captain mind?" you said slightly excited "It's Captain Jack Sparrow, I don't think he'd mind at all"

relived you smiled. "Let's go to my house, I'm going to need some help packing"
