"...we always say 'I would kill for my family' or 'I would die for my family' but would you really?
I mean, when really put in that situation, would you really give up your life?
Do you really love something or someone that much?"

-Port Royal-
-1721-

"Lila, dear? Are you up yet?" She heard a rapping at her door, causing her to jump up. After she realized that it was her aunt, she sighed and said, "I am now." There was a pause, and then her aunt said, "Well, darling. Do hurry up. We're late for tea at Mr. Smith's."

Tea. She was too thrilled to even begin to show it. She rolled her green eyes and got out of bed. Soon after, the maids came in to help her with her new gown. Hellish as it was trying to put that damn corset on, even Lila had to agree that it did look rather good on her.

After the long carriage ride to the town, they finally made it to Mr. Smith's. Lila didn't really like that man, and it wasn't even his fault. He was just possibly the most boring man in the world. Or at least in Port Royal. When they arrived, James Norrington was also comign in. He smiled when he saw Lila, and took her hand. Politely kissing it, he said, "Good day, Your Majesty."

She smiled as he raised his handsome face to look at her. She beamed and said, "Good day, James. How are you?" She allowed herself to link arms with him as he, being the gentleman that he was, led her to the tea room. "I'm wonderful, Princess. And yourself?"

"Wonderful as well." Lila said, smiling as they reached the tea room. They must have been walking slow, because her aunt was already seated between Governor Swann and Mr. Smith. Elizabeth glanced up as they walked in and nodded to the seat beside her. After saying hello to them, she quickly (yet gracefully) took the seat beside Elizabeth and prepared for what she knew was going to be a long and boring tea. Half way thru, Lila looked up to see Norrington asleep over his tea. His head was slightly tilted backwords. Elizabeth was doing something under the table, Aunt Parrish and Governor Swann were trying to look interested at what Mr. Smith was rambling on about.

A minute later, Lila felt something on her lap. She glanced up at Elizabeth who wasn't even looking at her. She was looking at Mr. Smith, but Lila could tell she was smiling. She glanced down at her lap to see a napkin crumbled up. Un-crumbling it, Lila read it:

Are you mad at me?

Lila glanced up at Elizabeth who was nodding under the table. Sure enough, she was holding a pen and ink. Rolling her eyes, she took the pen and ink from Elizabeth and wrote under it:

Of course not. What made you think that?

I don't know. You just seemed different is all. Is everything all right?

"Girls." Governor Swann said sternly, causing both Elizabeth and Lila to jump. When they did that, one of them hit the table rather loudly, causing James to wake up and scream, "OPEN FIRE!"

And the room went dead silent.

"Oh." He said, coughing as he adjusted his collar. "Sorry. Carry on." He glared at Elizabeth and Lila, who were laughing, when he turned to see them. Lila waited until Swann turned back to Mr. Smith's ramblings before writing back:

I'm leaving next summer.

To go where?

I don't know. My father sent me the message this morning. But we have another year. He may change his mind by then.

Have you told Will yet?

"Girls." Swann said, looking back at them. This time Lila's aunt turned to. Both of them smiled and turned back to their tea. Being 15 and 18, they expected them to already be adults. Far from it. Especially when they were together. Once the two of them turned back to the old man, and James fell back into his deep sleep, Lila looked over at Elizabeth and shook her head. Elizabeth made a face before whispering, "You need to."

"You're just going to sit there?" Will asked with a smirk as he glanced over at Lila. She tore her eyes off of the fire and turned to look at him. Somehow, she thought he looked much better like this. His hair pulled back...when he was working. She smiled at him as he walked over and hung the sword on the wall. The two of them had been courting for nearly three months, but she still blushed everytime she saw him.

He took of the little apron-looking thing he wore when he was working, and walked over to her. She'd been sitting on a bench by the fire, and somehow, that fire was mesmorizing her once more. Up until she felt Will's lips on her cheek and his hand around her waist. She smiled as he moved his kiss to her neck and whispered, "Something's wrong, love. What is it?"

"Nothing." Lila whispered back, laying her head on his chest. His arms automatically went to her waist as he smiled against her hair and whispered, "You're lying."

"I am not." She said, pulling back to look into his goreous hazel eyes. He smiled as he pushed a curl out of her face and said, "Li, you're not a good liar." He put his hand on her cheek, and gently pulled her forward to him. Her hands went behind his neck as his lips met hers. When she pulled back, she whispered, "You just know me too well, is all."

He smiled before kissing her again, and said, "So, there is something wrong." She rolled her eyes and groaned, causing him to say, "Elizabeth told me you were acting strange today-" She popped her head back up so she could look at him as she said, "You and Elizabeth have been talking a lot lately-"

"-what are you trying to say?" Will asked her as she got up and walked over to the window. She was silent for a minute, causing Will to get up and follow her over to the window. "What are you trying to say?" He repeated, grabbing her wrist. She still didn't say anything. She'd seen Will look at Elizabeth, and she wasn't sure what to make of it.

"Nothing-"

"Li."

"Nothing, alright?" When he saw the tears in her eyes, his features immediatley softened. He put a hand on her shoulder, as if he wasn't sure if she would push him away or not. When she didn't, he completely pulled her to him and let her cry in his chest.

"Li-" He whispered as he stroked her hair. "Is it something I've done-" When she shook her head, he rested his own on hers and asked, "Are you sure?" She nodded. "Well, darling. How am I suppossed to know how to react if you won't tell me what's wrong?"

"I'm leaving next summer." She whispered, closing her eyes, letting tears roll down her cheeks. Will was silent for a minute, but didn't say anything. They knew that it had been coming, they just didn't know when. "And you can't come with me! You know that my father would never...oh goodness..." Now she was sobbing.

"Shh, darling." Will said, tightening his grasp around her."Shh..." He kissed the top of her head and said, "We still have a year."

"But what happens after that year, Will?" She asked, raising her head up to look at him. He had never seen her like this. She was always the kind of girl that held in her emotions. Come to think of it, he really never saw her cry. "What? My father's going to make me go to Lord knows where. And I don't want to leave you-"

"Darling, I know you don't." Will said, pulling her back down on the bench. "Because if you did, I honestly don't think you would have been crying this much-"

"Will, honestly! It's not funny." She said, crying again. The smile on Will's face faded as he pulled her back into his strong arms again. He sighed and said, "Li, I don't want you to leave either. And I don't know what's going to happen after this year, I can't tell you that and I wish I could. But-" He trailed off for a minute, before saying, "-do you really love me?"

"No, Will." She said, pulling herself off of him. "That's only why I've been bloody crying my eyes out for the last aaaa.." She started crying again. He pulled her back to him, scared of what she would do if he didn't. "Lila, if you wanted to...I know you're very young, but if you wanted to, we could-" He trailed off and jjust stared at her for a moment. "Will, are you serious?" She asked him, not crying anymore as she was trying so hard not to. "Would you-"

"Yes." He said, smiling as he rested his forhead on hers. "Li, if you really want to we will. I'd do anything for you." He felt her take both of his hands in hers as he leaned over and kissed her, before saying, "Princess, will you marry me?" She smiled up at him, before closing the gap between their lips and saying, "You know I will, Will."

She kissed him again, and she could feel him smile against her lips as he brought her closer to him. "I love you." He whispered. Even though they had been courting for months, that really was the first time that she had heard him say it. She pulled back just slightly and said, "I love you too, Turner."

After a minute, he found her back in his arms once more. This time, they were silent. Just thinking. After another minute, she asked him with a smile, "You'd really do anything for me?" She asked him that as she played with the collar of his shirt. He smiled as he reached up and grabbed her hand as he said, "I'd die for you."

"...Do you really love something or someone that much?"
