Chapter 6: Admitting the Truth
Will is in the Blacksmith's shop working on his latest sword. His hair is tied up in an old smoky gray rag. A few strands manage their way out and brush up against his face.
The large wooden door squeaks open and Elizabeth Swann stands in the doorway. Her blonde hair is in a bun high up on her head. A few curls fall down. Her dress is tight around her waist and fluffs out from the hips down. The color is a pastel pink and there is lace at the bottom outlining the dress.
" Hello William." She said dully.
" Elizabeth, hello. You look beautiful." Will said looking up from his work.
" I think we should talk about the Commodore's dinner party." She suggested.
" Now is not the best time. I'm busy." Will said pointing to the sword he was working on.
" I think we need to talk, Will." She said sternly.
" Beg my pardon, but could we please talk about this later?" Will said gingerly trying not to hurt her feelings.
" Will!" she protested.
" Fine! We'll talk." He said getting angry.
" Okay. I'm sorry I made you stop your work on that sword, but." Liz said kindly.
" It's okay." Will muttered. It wasn't okay. He knew that his old friend Captain Jack Sparrow would be in town tomorrow, so he wanted to get all his work done and spend all his free time with his friend.
" Well then, I'm sorry for what I said to Haley. But, I was surprised and hurt when you stormed out on me."
" Your apolige is accepted. When Haley came she made me realize I didn't have to be ashamed I was a pirate. And now I'm proud I am one. When you insulted her and called her a 'pathetic pirate' it hurt her as well as me. She's a very good friend and I felt I needed to stick up for her."
" I see. However, I still don't like her."
" I'll make you a deal. If you leave Haley alone, I'll find more time to spend with you." Will said.
" All right then. It's a deal." Elizabeth said. " I've got to go now. I'll be late for dinner. Good day Will."
As Elizabeth left her dress swirled as she turned out the door and her curls bounced. Will sighed

It's the next day and the Black Pearl has arrived. It's at a small dock where no one goes anymore. Anna-Maria and Mr.Gibbs are in town getting some more supplies. The rest of the crew is cleaning the boat. Will and Jack are just hanging out.
" So Will, have you chosen between Miss Swan and Haley?" Jack asked
" Umm. not really. I love Elizabeth and I wouldn't want to hurt her." Will said.
" What do you mean by love? Do you mean mushy gushy love? Or do you mean the sister-brother-type of love?" he questioned. " Whatever it is you need to tell both of them, soon. Savvy?"
" I don't want to hurt Haley. And we've been friends forever. Plus, I love her." Will blabbered not knowing what he had just said.
" What did you say, mate?" Jack asked he knew what Will said and felt. He knew Will truly loved Haley.
" I don't want to hurt Haley." Will said still clueless.
" After that." Jack said.
" We've been friends forever." Will said a little confused.
" No, no. Even after that." Jack muttered.
" I love-Haley Taylor." Will said finally noticing what he said.
" Now, you've got your mind made up. All you have to do is tell the fair ladies how you feel." Jack said giving some advice.
" But, I don't want to hurt Elizabeth." Will said.
" Sometimes you have to make an enemy."
" I don't want Elizabeth to be my enemy."
" Picky, picky, picky!"
Meanwhile, Haley saw some sails and followed them. They lead her to the Black Pearl. She saw Jack and Will so she stepped up on the boat.
" Haley, luv!" Jack said greeting her and at the same time trying to tell Will she was here.
" Yes Jack, I know. I love Haley. Now, I need advice on how to tell her." Will said, his back to Haley. He had no idea she was there.
" You don't have to tell her. She all ready knows." Jack said, " Turn around, mate."
Will turned and Haley stood there wearing the mask of surprise. Her jaw was dropped and her eyes widened. Inside she was happy, but still surprised. Will was also shocked. Looks like he didn't need advice on how to tell her how he felt. His big fat mouth did it for him. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
So, she knows how he feels. Reviews are SO a given. Anyway, Happy- almost-New Year. And thanks for all the great reviews!
