You See Right Through Me (Chap. 4): Au Revoir, Jack Sparrow
(A/N: This chapter is gonna be a little shorter than the rest only because I don't really have much to say about him leaving. But I promise you, the next chapter WILL be way longer. Also, I know I've been slacking. I know it's summer and I should be posting like crazy. But you know what… I have a life… who am I kidding? I'm lazy as fuck. I've been relaxing and sleeping and… working… and volunteering… and going to the beach. But yeah I also had a writer's block for the longest time so this chapter is gonna be crappy. I'm done now… )
The third day had finally come.
Andranique and Jack had become very fond of each other the past three days. Their three days together felt like a whole week to them. It went too fast and Jack didn't want to leave.
Andranique rolled over in her bed, seeing that the sun was coming through her window. She sat up and realized what today was and then looked over at Jack, who was peacefully sleeping on his cot next to her bed.
He started to mumble in his sleep. "But daddy… I didn't do it…" he rolled over and started to drool. Andranique laughed at this.
She picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
"Ahh! But mommy! It wasn't me!" he screamed, sitting up. He then realized where he was. "Oh…"
Andranique bursted out laughing. "Get up, you lazy bag of good-for-nothing. It's morning." She got up and went behind her changing curtain.
Jack rolled his eyes and laid back down. Then he remembered that is was his third day here. He began to frown. He knew his dad was wondering where he was. The last place he would look was in a mansion up the mountains.
Jack got up and stretched and cracked all his stiff joints. "Well, seems like our time together has come to an end, Miss Andranique."
Andranique poked her head from behind the curtain. "You're leaving already?"
"Well, my dad… worries about me." He laughed a little. "My mum threatens him that if I'm hurt, she'll flip."
"Oh…" Andranique's eyes turned sad. "Well, you're right. You should get back to your dad and your mother."
"But, he won't leave till noon." Jack said, noticing the change in emotion. "I have time." He gave her a big smile.
"Well then," Andranique smiled, and finished dressing up. "Let's get this day started."
They went downstairs to see that breakfast was already made and Jasmine and Sasha were already digging in.
"Way to wait for us…" mumbled Andranique, as she got into her chair.
"You two took too long, plus Sasha was hungry so we couldn't wait." Jasmine mumbled back.
Andranique rolled her eyes.
Just then, Joshua walked in from outside. "Aaaah, good morning Ani." He walked over and kissed her forehead. "Good morning, Jack."
"Morning." Said Jack, quietly.
"Daddy today is Jack's last day." Said Jasmine, nonchalantly.
"Oh is it now?" Joshua looked over at Jack. "Well, I'm sorry about that. But you must have a family that's worried about you."
Jack nodded. Deep down, he didn't want to leave. Well, he didn't want to leave Andranique behind.
After cleaning up breakfast and feeding the animals, Jack thought it was best to go back to his dad.
"You know you're always welcome here, whenever you visit again." Joshua said.
"Thank you, sir." Jack did a slight bow. "Thank you for letting me stay here, too."
"Aaaah don't even worry about it. There's always room for you." Joshua wrapped an arm around his neck and hugged him.
Sasha walked up to Jack and tugged on his pants. Jack looked down and saw she was sad that he was leaving. "Don't be sad, Sasha. I'll visit again."
"You promise?" asked Jasmine, suspicious.
"I promise."
"Pinky swear?" Jasmine held out her pinky.
Jack did the same and wrapped his pinky around hers. "Pinky swear."
He then turned to Andranique, who was looking down. Jack wrapped his arms around her. She did the same.
"I never had a friend like you." He whispered.
"I wish you could stay forever." She whispered back.
"I wanna show you the world, actually. Take you with me. If that's okay with your father?" he asked.
Andranique was silent. "You know I can't. Without me, my dad would be raising my sisters all by himself. I can't do that to him. Maybe when they're older, I can go with you."
Jack wasn't surprised. "I understand." He leaned in and whispered, "Au revoir, Andranique Sanford."
"Au revoir, Jack Sparrow."
Jack then turned and started his way back to port.
They watched as he shrunk into the distance, till he was seen no more.
"Do you think he'll be back?" asked Jasmine.
"He will. I know he will." Andranique smiled.
