Author's note: Sorry for the short chapter. I'll have more up in a few days.

The next day everything had gone back to normal. Cameron had purposefully been trying to avoid Jim because she didn't want to get to close. Jim had been a good friend to her that night and she appreciated it, but she promised herself that it would never happen again. Her dad was going to be here soon and then she would leave and mostly likely she would never see Jim again. She was scared of the way he was making her feel. She had never felt like this before with anyone and she wasn't sure if it was just an infatuation or if it was real. She had been through to much drama to think that Jim could actually love her. I mean he is a captain right? How could a captain love a pirate, pirates weren't suppose to fall in love anyway.

The night was cool and a light breeze combed through her hair as she leaned against the railing and looked out into the etherium. She was jolted from her thoughts when she saw a slight movement to her left. She looked over to find Jim standing right beside her.

"I haven't been able to catch you lately. If I didn't know better I would have though you were trying to avoid me." He gave her a small smile trying to lighten the mood.

"I've been busy." She shrugged and looked away.

"Is something wrong, Cammie?" The laughter left his eyes and concern clouded over them.

"No, of course not." She said plainly tucking a few strands of hair back behind her ear.

"Cameron!" Demand clearly filling his voice.

Cameron turned to him then and crossed her arms over her chest. She didn't know what to say. So many emotions were running through her right now it was hard to say anything. This was one of those moments when words couldn't be used to express what was going on inside. Not like she was going to tell him. She was about to open her mouth when she was interrupted by the voice of the crewmember on watch.

"Pirate ship coming up onto the starboard side, Cap'n!" He yelled down to Jim.

Jim and Cameron rushed over to the starboard side of the ship and looked out in front of them. Sure enough there was a pirate ship coming their way and it wasn't just any pirate ship.

"He's come back." Cameron said under her breath. In a way she wished that the time would never come, but she knew it would. She had to face reality now even though she wasn't quit ready for it.
