Chapter 15-Tortuga Incidents
A/N: Wow.15 chapters already. It happened so quickly! Goodness, anyway, I forewarn you, you WILL be mad at me with this chapter, no doubt about it, but it was an idea I got with MORE conflicts between Juniper and Jack, and I thought it would be pretty good to put the romance on hold a little more with yet, another argument. Enjoy!
More reviews!

"Jack? Where are we headed?" I asked a week later. I was quite confused since he had turned the ship around without intention to drop me off on some Godforsaken island.
"Tortuga, love. We're low on rum."
"Rum...? We can get rum anywhere!"
"Aye, but no place has rum as good as the intoxicating Tortuga we all know and love."
I smirked. "Yes we all just love Tortuga," I muttered sarcastically.
"What was that, love?"
"Nothing, Jack, nothing."
I stared out into the endless sea and wondered if this was supposed to happen. Like did God just have a plan to bring me to this ship that was a million times better than my last ship and did he mean for me to meet Jack.
I took out a spyglass and looked for land. Nothing as of yet and when no land was spotted, I looked for any oncoming ships. Nothing there either. So I sat down on a chair and took a little nap. ~*~*~*~a month later~*~*~*~
Looking through the spyglass, I saw a little smudge and took a handkerchief to clean the lens. However, I raised the spyglass and the smudge was still there.
It was Tortuga.
"LAND HO!" I yelled.
Jack laughed. "We got a guy up at the crow's nest to do that, love, but thank ye anyway. Mr. Cotton!!"
An older man with a colorful parrot looked down at Jack.
"Why didn't ye warn me about land?"
"SQUACK! Took a nap. SQUACK!"
Jack sighed and continued steering at the helm.
It took us about an hour to an hour and a half to reach Tortuga. Jack took me and Will to go get the rum and left the crew about a few miles away from where we made berth (A/N: If I didn't use that term correctly, forgive me).
We went to the Unfaithful Bride (Jack's absolute favorite) and walked up to the bar.
"We'll be needin' three barrels of rum, mate."
"Sure thing, Jack." The bar owner finished cleaning a shot glass and went to the back room in the bar. Jack knew the man very well from the many times he's been to the bar.
The poor man had to make three complete trips to carry all three barrels to us.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he muttered, "On the house, Jack, as always."
"Thank ye, mate. Have a good day now."
"Uh...huh..." The man muttered back, leaning on the bar to rest.
Jack, Will and I grunted pulling the barrels back to the Pearl. We didn't get very far before being stopped by a strumpet.
"Well, hello there, darling!" She brushed Will's cheek. "How's about a night with me?" The strumpet was blonde with dark blue eyes and was wearing a long red dress, showing some amount of cleavage.
"No thank you, I'm married," Will said through clenched teeth.
"Oh, too bad, honey! How about yo...Jack! How are you!"
I looked up at Jack who could not even stare the strumpet in the eyes.
"Oh, hello...Rose...I'm fine, how are ye?" He said it more like a statement then a question.
She frowned then stroked his cheek, making me want to pounce on her.
"What's wrong, Jack? You seem upset!"
"Listen, Rose, nice running into ye, but we must dash." He spit out the word nice as if it were poison.
"Wait, hold on! How about a night with me? For free?"
"No, thank you!"
We walked away from the strumpet, who quickly adapted to another man with a full pocked of change.
I stopped Jack in the streets. "Who was she?"
"Oh...her...erm, my sister's cousin's uncle's nephew's brother-in- laws second aunts niece twice removed..."
"She was not! You're an only child and plus, she wanted to sleep with you! And by the way she knew your name, I'm pretty sure that she's slept with you before."
"Well...I..."
"Jack...is it true?"
Jack was silent. He didn't want to upset me again, that I knew, but then it had to be true. He did.
"Aye, lass, I slept with her."
A lump formed in my throat and I walked away from him.
"Lass, listen!! I slept with her ages ago, way before I met ye OR Ekaterina!"
"Oh, great, Jack, bring Ekaterina into this!"
"No, listen!"
But before I could listen, I ran to the Pearl, dropping the barrel of rum.
