"What's the matter Sparrow? Upset that Elizabeth didn't like you enough to sleep with you?" "I'm sure I'll get over it" Jack bubbled. "Are you crying?" Commodore laughed "Is this what the great Captain Jack Sparrow has been lowered to? A blubbering mess? I was right, you are pathetic and you are overrated. I can't think why you were even put on this earth in the first place!" Commodore dragged Jack to the cells "Tonight's your lucky night Sparrow, we can't hang you until tomorrow, so, be up bright and early!" Commodore laughed as he slammed the cell door shut. Jack collapsed onto the floor and began to engage in some serious thought. 'Why did Elizabeth turn me in then? Better question Sparrow, why did you nearly break down in front of them?' 'I was shocked that she actually did turn me in' 'Shocked? Loads of people before her have turned you in, why is this time any different?' 'Because this time it's her' 'So what?' 'She's different' 'Yeah, but why?' 'I don't know, she just is' 'I can't believe you Sparrow, it's just a girl, she's no different to all the whores before' 'She isn't a whore! She's a young woman!' 'Yeah, a young woman who is too young for you, listen to common sense man!' Jack shook his head "She is too young for me" He confirmed to himself. "Like I give a damn anyway" 'C'mon Sparrow, you're acting like you actually like this girl! Pull yourself together man!' Jack stood up and climbed up onto a ledge to look out of the cell window. He saw the Governor's house on the horizon, basking in the moonlight. 'I wonder what she's doing now' Elizabeth collapsed onto her bed and buried her head in the pillows. Tears started streaming down her face, 'Why did she turn Jack in like that? Did she have something to prove to him?'
********
"Or else what Miss Swann?" Jack whispered as he stepped in closer to Elizabeth.
"Or else I could do something I regret"
"Oh yeah? Like what?"
********
She didn't even know at the time how true that statement would become, 'Something she regretted' this was that something. 'Why are you acting like this? It's only Jack' 'Only Jack? Only Jack? This is the guy who saved your life, this is the guy who makes you happy, this is the guy who makes you smile, this is the guy who makes you laugh' Elizabeth clamped her hand to her mouth "This is the guy I love!" She whispered to herself.
"What was that Elizabeth?" Will asked as he peeked around the door.
"Nothing!"
"Oh right" Will said as he began to walk away, he spun back round. "Ermm, by the way who brought me upstairs?"
"Jack did, why?"
"It's just that I was sleeping in a strange predicament"
"Like what?"
"I woke up in the bath" He said as he walked away.
Elizabeth grinned and clasped her mouth to stop her from laughing out loud. Jack always made uncomfortable times a little bit easier. She jolted up and stormed out the door.
"Where are you off too?" Will asked.
"I'm going to speak to Captain Jack"
"Oh, don't be long then dear"
"I won't" Elizabeth called looking back at the house, knowing this would be the last time she would ever see it. Even if Jack wouldn't take her, she was going to leave her life in Port Royal behind; it was too complicated and too stiff for her liking. She looked towards the cells where Jack was taken. A voice inside the back of her head spoke out. 'Do you really think he's going to welcome you with open arms after what you done?' 'If he loves me, I'm sure he will.' 'He never said he loved you though, it's all in your head' Elizabeth shook her head and the thoughts disappeared. She looked up and saw that she was at the cells already; she pushed open the heavy oak door and stepped inside the cold confinements of the cellar.
"Miss Swann! What are you doing here at this time of the night?" A soldier asked.
"I have come to talk to Mr. Sparrow for one last time"
"Alright then Miss, but beware, he's in a foul mood that one" The soldier said as he followed Elizabeth down the stairs.
"If you please, I'd like to have a word in private"
"Do you think you can handle him alright?"
Elizabeth looked at Jack who was leaning against the wall and twiddling his thumbs. "I'm sure I can handle him"
"Alright then Miss" The soldier said as he clambered up the stairs.
"Jack?" Elizabeth asked.
Jack's heart pounded as he heard Elizabeth's voice echo through the cells, he turned his head to look at her. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?" He asked coldly.
"Jack, I know you're upset at me"
"Upset? I don't get upset over anything" Jack looked away as his eyes welled up with tears again.
"I'm really sorry" Elizabeth apologized.
"Yeah, sure you are" Jack snorted.
"No, I really am, I shouldn't have turned you in like that, I don't know what I was thinking"
"Well, you obviously hate me enough to turn me in for a crime I didn't commit, so, what's there to think about?"
Elizabeth walked right up beside the cell door and reached in and pulled out the keys.
"Hey! Where'd you get them from?" Jack asked.
"I did learn something from you you know, savvy?" Elizabeth smiled cockily.
Jack half-smiled and turned to face the wall, but Elizabeth grabbed his shoulder and turned him back round. "I don't hate you Jack"
"What reason have you got for not hating me? I nearly killed you and your fiancé not long ago, I apparently tried to rape you and I'm a pirate, what more reasons do you need?"
"I can't hate you because I love you!" Elizabeth blurted out.
