A/N: Did anybody else happen to absolutely hate and despise the way AWE ended? Because I certainly did.

Regret

I didn't want it to end that way. Honest, I didn't. Annoying though he can be sometimes, I'm mighty fond of Will Turner. But he was already dead, I just saved him. So bloody hell, people should be thanking me!

But it's my fault. It's my fault he was dead in the first place. And I don't admit that it was me fault a lot of the time so don't get used to it. I feel a mite guilty, I'm not gonna lie. Elizabeth, she gave me one of those looks. I know what was supposed to happen... he and she were supposed to get married and live happily ever bloody after. They probably would've ended up on my ship being a bloody nuisance to me for the rest of my days.

Once every ten years, they get to see each other. And the bloody stupid guilt. I saved him, right? He was dead, and now he's alive... forever, yes, which may in fact turn into a bad thing for me and the rest of the world. But Elizabeth... I don't know how long she'll last, watching after his 'eart, living alone for ten years at a time.

The curse of immortality, and I put it upon 'im. Ferrying the souls to their final resting place... that's not a job suited for 'im. It should have been me. I deserve it, and I know I do. I deserve whatever hell this life or the next or the in-between that is immortality can release 'pon me.

It didn't turn out like it was supposed to. I was supposed to stab the heart, I was supposed to be immortal. I was the bloody stupid one that was supposed to have to captain the Flying Dutchman and finish the journey of the souls lost at sea.

What if I had just let him die? Would've been easier on Elizabeth. Not at the time, but in the long run, you see. Not this way. She dies eventually, and the last time Will sees her is when he finishes carrying her soul to it's final place.

Bloody stupid. If there's one thing I regret in my life, it's this.

A/N: I know it's a bit OOC, but I'm just remembering that horrified look Jack had when Will was stabbed, and things like that. Review! I want to know what you think of it, 'cause I don't even know what I think of it.
