Yea for reviews! You guys are awesome! So, because you asked me to, I'm
updating my story!
***************************************************************************
That night was yet another sleepless night for you. Too much had happened that day, so
how could you sleep?
Jack's crew had been divided between the interceptor and the Black Pearl. You, Will,
Elizabeth, and Porthos had all chosen to stay on the Pearl with Jack. Gibbs and several others
were assigned to Captain the Interceptor for the time being.
You walked along the deck restlessly until you heard two people talking. You squinted in
the darkness and saw the backs of two men standing probably ten feet away from you. They
hadn't noticed you approach them. Silently you listened to them
"I had no idea that Jack was married," the first voice said, which you recognized as Will's voice.
"He doesn't like to talk about her too much," The second voice said. It was Porthos. "The
thing is, Jack still loves her. He usually doesn't mention her because it's too painful. He misses
her too much."
"I never would have thought..." Will's voice trailed off.
"I know," Pothos said. "Listen, don't tell either of them this, he would kill me and she
would get mad and accuse me of lying. For about two weeks after she left him, every night I
would hear him in his cabin...crying."
"Jack CRIED?!" Will exclaimed loudly, his voice echoing.
"SHHH! Yes, he did. Again, don't tell either of them I told you."
You had heard enough. You turned and walked in the other direction. Jack cried? Over
you? You had never seen Jack cry before! What the hell?!
You approached the helm, where Jack was.
"Don't you sleep any more?" You asked him. He turned to you and smiled a tired smile.
Even his eyeliner couldn't hide the bags under his eyes.
"Sleep just hasn't been coming to me easily lately," Jack said. "What's your excuse?"
"Same," You said and shrugged.
For a moment the two of you stood there silently.
"Jack?"
"Yes, luv?"
You paused for a moment and he looked at you expectantly. You finally said, "I'm sorry."
"For what, luv?" Jack asked curiously.
"For...the trouble I've caused you," you responded.
"Ye could never be any trouble to me," Jack said. You looked up and saw the honesty in
his eyes.
You and Jack stared at each other, both of you confused. Jack reached up and touched
your cheek, his finger gently caressing your skin. You drew in a sharp breath and Jack drew
his hand away from you. He had mis understood.
"We should be at Tortuga by morning, luv," Jack said, turning his head away from you,
again staring out at the open ocean. This was not what you wanted to hear.
"Jack," You said, shaking your head.
"Pirates...don't get married for good reason's, right luv? Me and Barbossa have been
perfect examples of why not."
His words were like a slap in the face. Tears started to swell up in your eyes, but you
didn't run.
"I guess I deserved that," you said and sighed.
"Sorry, luv," Jack said turning to you, "I just don't want to hurt ye anymore."
"Yeah, well, good job," You said and turned and walked away. You could've sworn you
had seen unshed tears in his eyes.

chapter was short, but, well, more's coming soon so....AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
