Argh. Fanfiction.net is down. Again. Oh, well. I guess you won't get this
until Monday. Or later. I finished most of my homework. All of it that I
could comprehend, anyway. There's probably gonna be more tomorrow. I go to
Theatre for the first time tomorrow. Wish me luck! Okay, on with the story.
Guys, you have to understand I have so much more planned for later, so if
things are a little off or seem to go to fast it's because I want to get
you to the good stuff. So, on with the story shall we?
Disclaimer: Jack went and sold himself on eBay, so currently I'm trying to buy him back. Damn those fan girls. Especially the ones bidding ridiculous amounts of money to discourage me. But I will get him back! I will, I will, I will. I'm want my Jack back, savvy? I don't own him, though. *Yet...* Did I mention plot twists this chapter? Hehehe...thought you knew what was coming, huh...think again.

Will noticed Jesse staring at his neck She had been looking at him for the past ten minutes. Finally she walked over to him. She reached for his neck and pulled the chain around it out from his neck. "Hey! What the hell are you doing?" He cried. Her eyes filled with tears and she struggled back the emotions that were overcoming her. "Where did you get this?" she demanded, running her fingers over the golden locket that hung about the chain. I've had it since I was a little boy. A very dear friend gave it to me before I left home. Why do you ask?" he had been startled by the question. "You didn't steal it from someone?" she seemed entranced by the trinket. "No. I'm not like you." "But you used to be. We used to be such good friends. Before you left to find your father."
Will was startled by what she said. He stood with his mouth agape, transfixed by her eyes when she looked up from the necklace. "Adrienne?" his voice pushed out in a barely audible whisper. Jesse bit her bottom lip to stop it from quivering and nodded. "I thought you were dead. I wouldn't have guessed it was you in a million years." She broke the trance held between them. Backing away and looking down at her feet she continued. "When we saw the wreckage of the ship washing into port, we assumed there were no survivors." "Oh God! Is it really you, Adrienne? You've grown up so much. I thought for sure you would have stayed in Port James."
Jesse flinched at the name of her old home. "Oh Will. I left after... After...." She couldn't bring herself to say it. It was too painful. She finally found her strength. "After your mother died." Her voice was hoarse and the words came out with much pain. Will was sad his mother was gone, but more concerned about the effect it was having on his old and dearest friend. Why was such a strong person so hurt by a death? At least she seemed so strong...
"She died a year after you left. When the pieces washed in to port from the ship, she fell ill. She died about four months later. William, I'm so sorry." Jesse felt almost as if it were her fault, probably because she had to tell him, and she had been with her the whole time before she had died.
*** Jack looked at the only two other human beings on the whole boat. They were standing close, almost too close. Something was going on, he knew it. He didn't care, though, as long as the kid didn't run off with the girl and forget the lass they were going to save.. He needed Will to still care for the girl so he could get his Black Pearl back. He stared at them longer, wondering, not worrying, wondering, mind you, what was going on. Jesse looked ready to cry and Will seemed concerned. Jack was befuddled. He headed towards them.
Okay, I know it's short and awful, but it's been sitting here on Word, waiting to be put on. I'm writing more and trying to add humor. Next chapter soon, I hope!
