Chapter 7: When Everything Is Wrong
"Jack, shut up and find the bloody heart," Jack says in a feminine voice, clearly mocking me.
"Would you just find it?" I ask, still leaning over the ship. This couldn't get any worse...
"Do you know how much I've done for ya already?"
"Jack please, none of that'll matter if we loose that heart."
"Well technically we've already lost the heart so looks like it already doesn't matter, now does it? Looks like pirate king Elizabeth Turner is a disgrace to her whole family and due to her not watching the heart she's basically condemned her husband to death.
Now I really hoped it wouldn't come to this, you know, love. That's why I let Will stab the heart, so he could bypass death and become immortal, but it looks like that's not possible when you leave the heart in possession of the pirate king. Sad isn't it?"
I feel my eyes beginning to water. How can he be so cruel? One moment I think Jack's changing for the better, but the next he's worse than ever. You can never trust a pirate to be there for you when you need him most, not unless that pirate is Will Turner, which unfortunately, as Jack said, I have condemned him to death.
"Oh yes, that'll help," Jack says, seeing my tears, "Crying'll bring him back now won't it."
"You... you...," I say, trying to think up a good insult, "You bloody pirate!"
"You're on to talk."
"You never even cared about me did you? You never cared whether or not we found Will? You wanted to do something for me so that you could make me feel obligated to do you a favor and guard your ship while you go to the fountain of youth, didn't you?
But now that's all fallen apart hasn't it? So now I suppose you'll be deserting me, won't you Jack? You'll leave me alone on some bloody island to have some bloody child and then..."
"Calling your child bloody is not a good start at motherhood, love," Jack says, cutting me off.
"And telling someone how horrible they are is not a good way to increase a friendship, Jack Sparrow!"
"First of all it's Captain Jack Sparrow, love. Secondly, at no point did I say I wanted a friendship and thirdly I only spoke the truth love, only the truth."
"Even still you really needn't state it so cruelly!"
"And as a pirate you should be use to that."
"And as a good man, you should know better than to talk to a woman like that."
"Well, you should know better than to consider me a good man."
"Deep within your heart you are a good man."
Jack laughed, "Shows what you know."
A few moments of silence pass between the two of us. I'm finally able to stop leaning over the rail, my stomach finally settling, but I didn't feel like talking. My whole life was falling apart. Everything was wrong.
"Jack?" I ask after a few moments.
"Yes, love?"
"Could you please help me find Will's heart?" I sigh.
He stands in silence for a moment before responding.
Finally he speaks, "Suppose, so."
Without me even saying anything more he goes under the deck. I know I should go with. I should go find Will's heart, after all I'm the one who lost it, yet, I can't bring myself to do so. Why is everything so wrong?
"Didn't find the heart, love," Jack announces coming up on deck a few minutes later.
I want to tell him to continue looking seems how he hasn't found it, but can't bring myself to do this knowing that I myself am not even looking.
Perhaps I should just accept the fact that it's lost. Perhaps I should just get over it and move on with my life, but how can I knowing I am responsible for my husband's death.
No! I can't do that! I won't! Will's life was in my hands, and I lost the only thing keeping him away from death! How could I be so stupid!?
"Did find something of interest though," Jack announces, seeing that I'm not responding to his earlier comment.
"What did you find Jack?" I ask.
"Davy Jone's hat."
