Pirates of the Caribbean – Feelings Too Deep To Admit To You

By Princess-Pirate

Email: lziceprincessyahoo.co.uk



Summary: Pirates of the Caribbean turns 21st Century. Will, Lizzie, Jack and the rest of the POTC crew are all College students in my modern day story of their lives. The story tells the tale of what love can do to people if it is kept a secret for too long. It is completely different and is in no way linked to the 16th century movie.

Pairings: Will / Estrella, Jack / Anamaria, James / Elizabeth as well as other characters. Later Will / Elizabeth.

Disclaimer: All the characters, ships, and places in the Caribbean belong to Walt Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (I wish). Some of the new characters are my own creations and therefore I have some ownership over them.

Warning: Rating will go up for blood, gore and suicide.

A/N: Please read and let me know what you think. Reviews and ideas on coming chapters are most welcome.

Chapter 1 – Happy 21st

-------------------------------------

Dancing Serpent Club in Port Royale

12:45 am

-------------------------------------

"There we go ladies" James Norrington said as he placed the tray full of bright green shooters on the table "Knock yourselves out."

"What is it?" Estrella asked and looked at her two best friends; Elizabeth Swann and Anamaria Rodruguez.

"Something to get you ladies in the mood. I've got a special one for our birthday boy as well." He picked up a weird colored cocktail and placed it in front of a rather tall man with long, wavy brown hair.

"No thanks James" he shrugged as he pushed the drink away from him "I'm at my limit. Besides, I have to drive back home, remember. We all have to get home from here and there's no way I'm going to let you trash my present."

"Oh William Turner" a black haired man slapped him on the back "I can't believe you're being such a prude. For hell's sake mate, it's yer twenty first birthday and ye don't want to go home sober."

"Why would he want to have all that rum when he has me Jackie?" Estrella teased as she wrapped her arms around Will's neck and kissed him passionately.

"She has a point" Will smirked as he kissed Estrella again. He had been dating Elizabeth's best friend for almost a year now after she had gone after James Norrington, the President's Club leader and all time rich daddy's boy. Not that he wasn't rich either. All of the people around their table were indeed very well off.

Libertine college was one of the best colleges in New Jamaica and only the selected few were chosen to attend.

He was from twelve o' clock twenty-one, making him second oldest in the group. His mother died when he was younger leaving him alone with his father. They lived on an estate outside Port Royale and he was currently studying to become an architect.

Jack Sparrow was the oldest of the group at nearly twenty-three, and Will's best friend. His father was the ambassador for Portugal and they had moved to Port Royale two years ago. He was working in the line of history. His field being maritime and naval history. His friend had this strange fascination with pirates and sunken ships, why he didn't know. That's probably why he's currently going out with Anamaria.

Anamaria Rodruguez was half-Spanish and half-Jamaican. She was raised near St. Vincent and her parents are archaeologists. She's going into the medical field, worked as a medtech on the island, and had charmed every student on campus with her beauty. Alas none could tame her wild spirit, that is everyone except Jack Sparrow. Since the two of them met there were fireworks between them. It also helped that she was an amateur archeologist and that she and Jack shared the same love for history.

Next to him sat Elizabeth. Yes, Elizabeth Eleanor Swann, daughter of the most powerful man in Port Royale. Mr. Swann had a multi million software company and his daughter, a computer analyst second year, was the social flower on campus. She and Will were friends since childhood and were very close. Elizabeth was the perfect child and she loved getting into mischief with her friends, especially Will.

The youngest of the lot was Estella Groves. This smart girl was a second year drama student and loved keeping everyone happy. She and Will were the perfect couple and she was fun to be with. Her parents were both actors so the arts were in her blood. They lived on an estate next to campus so she always knew what was going on.

And then there was James Peter Norrington, the second. No one actually liked him but kept friendly for Elizabeth's sake. He was a law student and always top at everything. His parents were filthy rich and he always got what he wanted. He had been the one to get Will to tell him how he felt about Elizabeth and then he went and asked Elizabeth out before Will had the chance.

"Come on" Estrella said as she got up and grabbed Will's hand "Let's go dance."

"Don't have to ask me twice" Will grinned as he wrapped his one arm around Estrella's waist and walked down to the dance floor.

The others smiled as they saw Will's hand moving down Estrella's back and coming to rest on her behind. The two were so in love and no one was complaining about it since they didn't think they would listen in any case.

"They're not gonna steal the show" Anamaria said as she jumped up, pulling Jack with her.

"I completely agree" Jack said as he gave her a kiss and followed her to where Will and Estrella were already tangled into each other's embrace.

================

Elizabeth looked on sadly at Will as he danced. He was swaying with the beat of the music and those form-fitting jeans weren't making it any easier on her. Will was sexy and he knew it. It was driving her crazy seeing him and Estrella together but she knew that it was her fault as well, since she played games with him while they were still both single.

================

Meanwhile Will and Estrella were enjoying themselves, unaware of Elizabeth looking lovingly at Will. When a slow song started Will pulled Estrella against him and they started to move slowly together.

From across the dance floor Jack and Anamaria was swaying together as well.

"She's jealous," Anamaria said softly and Jack nodded.

"I've noticed it," he said "Elizabeth's been stealing looks at Will when she didn't think anyone was looking. She played too much games with Will's heart and he decided he had enough of it so he asked Estrella out."

Anamaria nodded and rested her head against Jack's shoulder.

Soon everyone's problems were forgotten as the three couples danced the night away, enjoying their freedom and Will's passing into the adult world.

A/N – So what do you think. It's something different for once and hope you liked it. Please let me know if you like it and what you want to see happening in the future.

Here's a sneak preview of Chapter 2:

"Oh my hell" Jack said as he stopped the car and got out. Anamaria jumped out as well to go and see if she could help.

"Jack" he heard a voice and turned to see Elizabeth's car coming up behind him. She had dropped James off at home and was on her way to Swann View, their farm.

"Go to her" he told Anamaria as he walked to the accident scene. He walked closer and saw that it was indeed Will's car, or was Will's car. The Ferrari was completely wrecked and he saw the medical crew still around it. He stood in shock as he saw the amount of blood near the driver's side on the road. As he walked closer he nearly fainted. The firemen and paramedics were working on someone in the car.

"Will" Jack whispered as he looked at his young friend in horror. Will was pinned in the driver's sheet, his face full of blood. The paramedics had an IV in his arm and a breathing mask was covering his face.
