Cameron locked herself up in her room until they reached Tortuga and when
they finally did she gave neither the crew nor her dad a glance as she
walked down the gangplank and into the already bustling city.
Jack watched his daughter walk down to the city having the urge to go after her but not knowing what to say. What could he say to her after what had happened the other day? He wasn't the best at apologizing. She slowly faded into the distance just as Jack finally decided to go after her.
Cameron made her way to one of the whorehouses where a close friend of hers worked which also happened to be a theater. Sofia was always good at performing. The smell of sweat and rum filled her nose as soon as she opened the door making her hold her hand of her nose and mouth for a moment to get used to it. She walked in and closed the door behind her and wasn't surprised at what she saw. Drunken sailors were lazily sitting in wooden chairs facing the small stage where Sofia was performing one of her favorite songs. She was wearing her usual simple pink dress that was ripped off right above the knees and the sleeves were also ripped off showing the sun tattoo that was on her arm that Cameron also shared. A few of the men at the bar cheered and yelled for more drinks as waitresses scurried around to deliver drinks to the men at the small tables.
Cameron stayed at the back by the door as she watched her friend do what she does best. Sofia finally locked eyes with her and a large smile grew upon her lips. Cameron quickly made her way to the back of the theatre as her song ended. Cameron waited at the bottom of the steps for her.
"Cammie!" She screamed as she ran down the stairs and hugged Cameron tightly.
"Sof, I can't breath." Cameron gasped.
"Oh gosh I'm so sorry." Sofia quickly let her go and took her hands in her own. "I've missed you so much and then I heard what happened. You got me afraid for a while there." Sofia laughed.
"You know me Sof, I can take care of myself." Cameron smiled at her best friend.
"Oh I'm so glad your back." Sofia embraced her once more before leading them back into her small private dressing room to talk. "Where's Jacky- boy?" She asked as she walked over to her vanity and started taking off her makeup.
Cameron took a seat on the sofa laying her bag at her feet. "We had a fight and I refused to go with him when he decided to leave Tortuga."
"What do you mean a fight?" Sofia turned to Cameron in the middle of removing her lipstick.
"A fight! It's not like we've never had one before." Cameron raised an eyebrow at her.
"Are you sure it was just a fight and not one of those emotional things?" Sofia removed her lipstick and sat across from Cameron in one of the chairs.
Cameron looked up at Sofia and laughed. She could always read her and Cameron had no idea how she does it since no one else ever could. "Emotional." She answered quietly.
"What happened?" Sofia asked excitedly.
"Am I just some kind of amusement to you?"
"Well. yeah."
"You are so cruel."
"Oh come on and just tell me already." Sofia almost screamed.
Cameron sighed and explained the whole story to her and when she was finally finished they sat in silence until Sofia decided to speak. "You love him don't you? I can see it on your face and in your eyes."
"That's exactly what Jack said and that's when I asked about him and mom." Cameron closed her eyes to gather herself then reopened them to look at Sofia.
"So that's what this is all about? You being in love with this Jim who chases after pirates." Sofia sighed when she saw Cameron nod. "I can see why he's worried." She said under her breath.
"Don't tell me you agree with him. Sof, you're my best friend. Com on give me some kind of support. Help me out here." Cameron pleaded with her.
"I assume you were planning to stay here." Cameron nodded. "Sounds like a plan, but you know you can't hide from Jack for long. This is probably the first place he's gonna look."
"I know!"
"And what about this Jim guy. Are you goin after him or what?" Sofia tossed Cameron one of her infamous smirks.
