"Ria!" Jack spluttered, "What are you doing here?" he said surprised, putting down his rum. Ria stepped back, shocked. The other woman smiled,

"Jack…" she murmured, "who's this?" she eyed Ria. Ria stared at the slut sitting on Jack's lap, and mouthed wordlessly. Jack stood up, the woman fell off, he and put his hands on Ria's shoulders trying to explain,

"Ria luv! It's not what it looks like-" he began, Ria felt tears in her eyes. She shook his hands off her shoulders and ran out of the tavern into the rain, "RIA!" he ran after her.

 Ria ran out and around a stone pillar, she spotted a tall tower with a wooden ladder, she climbed up and out of sight. She saw Jack shouting her name as he ran everywhere looking for her in the streets. She didn't get down until she couldn't hear his cries. Lying, cheating pirate! She thought angrily as she climbed down. Never should've fallen in love with a pirate! A pirate killed your parents and will hurt you too. She told herself, brushing tears out of her eyes. She reached the bottom of the ladder when a hand helped her down the last rung, it was Jack. Ria shook his hand off and slapped his face.

"I deserved that one," he said. Ria slapped him again, "that one too," Ria turned away and began to run, clutching her stomach. The rain poured down on her, her thin dress stuck to her skin and her hair was completely wet. Jack followed her, still talking, "Let's go back to the Turner's luv, it's cold, and it cant be good for ye, or the young 'un-"

"Since when did you start to care about me? Or even the child?" she shouted, still running away.

"I never stopped luvie!"

"And you care for so many other women!"

"It's not like that!" he insisted stubbornly. Ria slowed down, she began to sway, clutching her bulging stomach. Jack stopped, from a distance. Ria collapsed on the road, blood drowned her white dress.
