Two reviews. One isn't good...
AbbieNormal182-Read this chappie and my thoughts are you will be pleasantly surprised.
Pearl Wench-Sorry you feel that way about my choice in names and sorry you find me to be dull-witted, but I liked the name and so do other people and I'm not changing it because of one review. And other people know my policy: Don't like, don't read. If you don't like it for that one reason, then I recommend not reading it.
AbbieNormal182 gets a POTC soundtrack! *Remember, fake prizes only go to those who give GOOD reviews, not bad ones. Sorry, but if you criticize me like that, you don't deserve a prize*
On a happier note, I was really proud of this chapter and I hope you guys really like it!
Chapter 14-Beginning to love
Long after Will and Jack finished talking, I sat on the deck of the Pearl and thought about what Jack had said. Dropping me off on Pearl Island? Was he insane? He knew I loved it here and just because he loved me he was getting rid of me?
It was raining hard, but I didn't care. I was too upset and deep in thought. How could he just get rid of me like this? I wanted to talk to him, wanted him to give me a second chance, anything so that I could stay on the Pearl. At least he said I had a month left until we reached Pearl Island.
The only way I could think of him letting me stay is if I loved him back, but I couldn't give him the pleasure just yet. I wasn't ready and if he couldn't take that, I'm sure I would be dropped off in a month at most.
"Love, you better come out of the rain before you catch a cold or something."
I nodded solemnly and followed him.
"Anything wrong, lass?"
"Nothing..." I started. "Just the fact that you're getting rid of me in a month."
He stopped dead in his tracks and stared at me.
"How'd ye know that?"
"I heard you and Will talking. And I can't believe you!" I couldn't help but start yelling at him. "How could you! I don't want to be abandoned like some homeless puppy!!"
He couldn't talk. He was speechless. "I'm...sorry, lass. I can't function on here with ye here. I can't think straight! I only think about ye!"
"Oh, and dropping me off on some island will make it all better? I don't think so Jack! I think you've lost it! You've seriously gone off the deep end this time Jack!"
His eyes widened and he clenched his fists. "Don't ye dare impugn me honor! This is only for the best!"
"For your best maybe, not for mine!"
I tried to stomp off to my cabin, but Jack wouldn't let me.
"Lass, I told you we could just be friends, but I don't think I can stand it like that. I want to be more!"
"I know you do, but do you want to be more with me or Ekaterina?"
He went to talk, but closed his mouth again.
"Exactly." I turned away from him and ran. Tears cascaded down my face but I tried not to show it.
I was starting to love Jack, who really only loved Ekaterina. ~*~*~*~
Once I recovered, I walked up to the top deck again, praying Jack wasn't there. He was, however. And he was throwing things into the sea before him.
I walked beside him and took a look. He threw a veil, a bouquet of wilted white flowers, and a scarf down to the sea.
"Jack...I'm sorry about before. I overreacted."
"It's ok, love."
"What are you doing?"
"Throwing away memories of Ekaterina."
I gasped slightly and looked at him.
"But...why?"
"Because, love," He looked deep into my eyes. "It's not her I love...It's yerself. It took me a while to let go, but I did and now it's you and only you I love."
I smiled as a single crystalline tear cascaded down my cheek. He brushed it away and leaned in. He then kissed me softly.
"Jack?" I asked.
"Shhh..." He held me close and didn't let go for a long time. ~*~*~*~
"Awww, that's so sweet, Will!" Liz said, listening from the other room. "How come you were never that romantic with me?"
"I was too!"
"Were not!!"
"Remember when...and then that time...AND then when I..."
"See??"
While Will and Liz bantered in the next room, Jack and Juniper sat there in each others arms, never wanting to let go.
A/N: Omg, this chapter almost made me cry lol. I was listening to "Perfect" By Simple Plan and it was already making me want to cry, and this chapter didn't help lol. It was a little short, but I swear, I was typing this like a maniac; it just came to my mind so quickly. R & R people!
