A/N: Ok people! I know that Jack was kinda not really in character on
that last chapter! But..if I had lost as good a friend as Gibbs was to
Jack than I would be made at everyone too! But I PROMISE that Jack is
getting over that in this next chapter! So PLEASE keep reading!

Jack picked up Will and walked off the boat towards Will's house.
"Anna Maria," Jack called back, "Make sure ye watch the boy."
"Aye, sir." Anna Maria answered.
Jack was feeling guilty about all of this; about Will, Gibbs, and his unusual temper. Jack couldn't tell Will what was really going on and why he was so mad that Gibbs died. Jack had not been himself lately and everyone could tell.
Jack reached the door and knocked on it. Elizabeth answered with her hands over her mouth and she was shaking her head side to side.
"Calm down, luv." Jack said. "He'll be alright." Jack walked past Elizabeth and walked up the stairs to the bedroom. He put Will on the bed.
"Now Elizabeth, ye'll need to bandage up that cut before he bleeds anymore. Then when he comes too, tell him to come to meet me on me ship." Jack directed Elizabeth. Jack turned on his heel to make towards the door.
"Hold on there, Sparrow." Elizabeth said. Jack turned back around so he was facing Elizabeth. "Stay here. When he comes to, you can tell him yourself." Elizabeth said smiling a little. Jack sighed and sat down on the chair.
~~~~~~
Jack was sleeping on the chair and Elizabeth was sleeping next to Will. When Will woke up, he remembered what had happened. He got out of the bed, and walked over to Jack. Jack stirred and finally opened his eyes.
"I think I got something that ye need to hear." Jack said standing up and walking downstairs to the dining room; Will followed. Jack and Will sat down opposite each other. There was an awkward silence before Jack finally spoke.
"I'm sorry, Will." Jack said softly.
"I understand what your going through Jack." Will said.
"No. I'm not sure you do." Jack said. "You're not the only person who's lost someone close to you, Jack." Will said.
"That's not what I'm talking about here Will." Jack said raising his voice just a little bit so as to make Will understand that this was hard to say. "There is something I haven't told ye." Jack said slowly.
"What haven't you told me?" Will asked. Jack couldn't answer right away. He didn't know how to put it.
"I-I," Jack stuttered, "I'm not really sure how to put this, Will." Jack said finally.
"Jack, anything you tell me I'll understand." Will said comfortingly.
"No. I don't think you will." Jack said.
"Did you steal something? That's not news to me." Will said smiling, but Jack didn't smile. "Did you do something that got you into trouble? That doesn't surprise me either?" Will said still trying to get a rise out of Jack, but it seemed impossible. Jack had had enough. Jack put his hands on his head and rubbed his temples before he finally spoke. Will kept asking if he did all this tuff and that it wasn't news to him. Finally Will broke in.
"Damn you Will!" Jack yelled standing up from his chair. "I'm dying!"
