~ A Long Kiss Goodnight ~

Disclaimer: this is for all my chappys. Hehehehe.

Jack hasn't been the same since. It had been a year and two months today. Jack had given the crew a week off to do whatever they liked. But Jack would only walk around to bars and fell sorry for himself.

"Hey Jack over her!" yelled Elizabeth waving frantically. He forced a smile as he walked over to her. "How are you?" she asked kissing him on the cheek.

"Great" he lied. In fact he didn't want to talk to anyone, he just wanted to hide from the world forever. "Just fine luv. And you?" he looked at her forcing yet another smile.

"Oh fine. Will and I have decided to get married and I wanted to ask if you would come?" she asked handing him an invention. Will came striding up the sidewalk.

"Hey Jack. Hello darling" he kissed her on the cheek. "So I see she gave you the invention."

"Yeah" he opened it. He read it and looked back up.

"Jack I wanted to ask you if" he stopped but kept going. "If you would be my . best man."

"Sure mate" he smiled not forcefully. "Do I really have to ware one of those suits?"

" Yeah Jack" she laughed and hugged him goodbye.

"Oh Jack tomorrow night we will have the rehearsal dinner so be there early. And no you don't have to ware a tux to the dinner."
The truth was Jack didn't want to go. But knew he had to. It was his friend after all who was getting married to a very beautiful girl.

Jack headed to his ship not wanting to be bothered by anyone. He lay in his bed until he drifted off into sleep.

Next morning he awoke finding some nice clothes and a note that laid on them. It read:

Jack ware this! Don't argue!
With love,
Elizabeth

He lazily put it on. Moaning about it. I'm going to look like Will. He shuddered at the thought. He headed out to the nearest pub to relive his pain. He could hear Elizabeth yelling at him for drinking. But he didn't care. What the heck he was a lonely man on a port full of happiness.

~ Later that night~

"Jack you came" Elizabeth hugged him hard.

"O'course I came" she let go of him. "Wouldn't miss it fer the world."

She led him over to the dinner table. It was wonderful. The tables were decorated with rose petals; the main colors were baby blue and white. There were reserved places for people like the groom, bride, and best man ext.

"Here sit here by Will. But for now go mingle" she left Jack to go stand by Will.

"Mingle" Jack mumbled. "Yeah the only thing Im going to mingle with is the bartender." He walked over and order a mug of rum.
