Aw, Jack, you're so cute! I love you!
Jack the Pirate: Thanks, luv!
No, not you, I'm talking to the monkey.
Jack: What?!
(Holding the monkey) Hi everyone! Now I wanted to run a little experiment. In the last
chapter I had Porthos tell Will that Jack had cried. Well, personally I can't imagine Jack crying,
so here it goes. Jack, no rum for a month.
(Jack sobs uncontrollably)
There you have it, Jack crying. Here Jack, here's some rum.
(Jack smiles and drinks the rum).
Anyway, since I don't want a donkey thrown at me (glares playfully at nicole297) here's
Chapter 10!
**************************************************************************** **
The next morning the Black Pearl and the Interceptor reached Tortuga, just as Jack said
it would. When the Pearl docked, you got off and went home, purposefully avoiding Jack.
You walked through the door and were nearly maimed by Anamaria.
"Where have ye been?" She asked hugging you.
"It's a long story," You replied.
After washing up, brushing your hair, putting fresh clothes on, and such you and
Amamaria went to the nearest bar so you could fill her in on what happened to you.
"So, ye met up with that whelp, Jack. The jerk stole me boat," Anamaria muttered, "He
comes to me saying that he's a changed man and wanted to catch up with me, and be friends.
The next thing I know he's sailing away on my boat! Oh well, Porthos and I are looking into
getting one for ourselves..."
"You and Porthos?" You asked her who nodded.
"He and I are, well, engaged," Anamaria said.
A smile spread across your face, "Congratulations!" You said and the two of you hugged.
You couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
"Something's wrong," Anamaria stated. She could always tell when something was
Bothering you.
"It's just that...I don't want to be here anymore," You admitted.
"Well, where do you want to be?" Anamaria asked you.
"No where really," you replied, "except wherever Jack is."
Anamaria nodded understandingly, "so you still love him."
"Yes, but, I don't know if I should. I don't want to get hurt again, but I don't want to live
without him. I don't know what to do! I just feel so alone and lost," you said covering your
face with your hands. Anamaria put a comforting hand on your shoulder.
"Tell him," she said. You looked at her. You couldn't believe she had said that due to the
fact that Jack wasn't exactly her most favorite person in the world, "Give him a second
chance."
"I wonder if he'd take me back," You said and sighed.
"He will," Anamaira reassured you. "He'd be a fool not to. Jack's no fool. Crazy? Yes.
Annoying? Sometimes. But, not a fool."
"I just," You said and sighed, "I just need one night, is all. One night to sleep on it."
"You have one night," Anamaria told you, "We don't leave until morning."
"You're going, too?" You asked.
"Yes," Anamaria replied.
That night you STILL had trouble sleeping for you had too much to think about. You
decided to take a walk. You strolled down the street aimlessly, looking into windows of bars
and shop to see if anything interesting was going on. At one point you stopped, stared into the
window of a bar. Will, Elizabeth, Pothos and Anamaria were all sitting at a table, laugh
hysterically about something. You grumbled about how you and Jack should be in there too.
To tell Jack or not to tell Jack, that was the question. On one hand, Porthos had said Jack
still loved you, you knew that much. But, on the other hand your last conversation with him
wasn't exactly a pleasant one...
Then again, you had to realize that you hadn't been the only one who had gotten hurt in
the relationship. He had too. He had cried over you. You had never seen Jack cry, so you
MUST'VE been important to him. You remembered the countless nights you had cried over him
and how you wished you would stop hurting inside.
You stopped on a hill, far away from the dock, but you could see it from there. You saw
the Black Pearl sitting there. You didn't want to have to watch it leave.
That morning you watched the sunrise, and it was beautiful. You wished Jack had been
to share it with you.
Who were you trying to kid? Jack was everything to you. He had done more for you than
anyone else had in your life. Even your parents. You couldn't let him go! You had to forgive
him!
You DID forgive him!
You then realized the Black Pearl was supposed to be leaving soon! You saw it in the
distance. It would take you about twenty minutes to get to the dock, so you ran the entire
way.
"Jack!" You called running to the dock, your heart racing a mile a minute. Several people
turned their heads as you ran past, looking at you. You were relieved the Black Pearl was still
there.
"Looking for me, luv?" You heard Jack's voice ask. You looked up to see Jack leaning
over the side of the ship.
"Permission to come aboard!" You called up to him.
"Permission granted!" Jack laughed, "As if ye really need to ask!"
You walked up the gangplank and onto the ship.
"Come for a formal goodbye? How unlike ye! Usually ye just smack me and throw
jewelry at me!" Jack said jokingly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you preferred being kicked in a certain area!" You said
sarcastically. The expression on Jack's face was priceless. "Seriously though, I have something
to tell you."
"And what's that, luv?" Jack asked.
Both you and Jack turned to see Jack's crew standing about two feet away from you
watching and listening intently.
"To the dock?" you asked him.
"Aye, that be a good idea," Jack replied.
You and Jack walked down the gangplank and onto the dock.
"What I had to say was..." You began, but then noticed Jack's crew now leaning over the
side of the ship, still listening intently. Jack looked up too.
"Can I PLEASE have a moment with me wife, ye scallywaggers?!" Jack snarled up at the
crew. They all then backed off, muttering apologies. Jack then looked over at the Interceptor
to see his other half of his crew, Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa's crew (who were all trying to
look through small windows of the ship) listening. "That goes for ye too!"
More apologies were muttered as they all backed off.
"Alright," Jack said, looking up at both ships, and then behind him, to make sure the two
of you were alone. "Now what was it ye wanted to tell me?"
"I love you, Jack," you said and he stared at you.
"I wasn't expecting this," Jack said and straightened his mustache, "Savvy?"
"I know, Jack," you told him, "and I am so sorry for hurting you."
"There's nothing for ye to be sorry for," Jack said, waving a dismissible hand. "It's me
who should be sorry, and believe me, I am."
"I forgive you, Jack," you told him, "But, please, tell me if you feel the same way."
Jack stared at you in disbelief for a moment, and then said, "I love ye more now than
ever before."
Jack then wrapped his arms around your waist, and pulled you up to him. Your arms
curled around his neck.
"Savvy?" Jack asked and then gave you a long and passionate kiss. Another one that you
thought should have lasted a life time.
"Jack," you said as the two of you leaned your foreheads against each other's, "Did you
notice that we're in our spot?" You had noticed you were standing on the same dock where
you and Jack had spent countless nights together, star gazing, sunset watching, and even
duck feeding. This was also where he had first told you that he loved you and where he had
proposed to you.
"I noticed, luv," Jack grinned at you, "I noticed."
He then kissed you again. Then he picked you up and carried you up the gangplank and
back onboard the Black Pearl. The crew cheered.

Okay, so how was that? I think this may have been the chapter you guys have been waiting
for. In case I lead you to believe that this is the end, it's not.
Read and review please!
