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, James / Estrella.
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. Beware also for plotting and backstabbing galore.
A/N: Please read and let me know what you think. Reviews and ideas on coming chapters are most welcome.

"Well look who's finally returned to the land of the living" a voice said and Will smiled when he heard it.
"Sod off mate" he said as he opened his eyes.
There sitting in the room was Estrella, Lizzie, Anamaria, Jack and his father. They all smiled at him in relief and hope.
"Welcome back Mr. Turner" another voice said and Will turned his head to see Doctor Peterson standing at the foot of his bed "We were beginning to think that you weren't going to be waking up at all."
"I'm so glad you're awake" Estrella sobbed as she kissed Will on his cheek "You don't know how worried I've been."
Will smiled at her and the caught Elizabeth's eyes. The tears were sparkling and he knew it wasn't because he was alive. He would have to tell her and the sooner the better.
"Hey Jack, Ana" Will smiled weakly and looked at them.
"You gave us a scare pal," Jack said as he placed a comforting hand on Will's shoulder.
Will's gaze swept from Jack to his father. "Dad" he whispered and then smiled. He was suddenly feeling light as a feather and very sleepy.
"I think we should let him get some more rest," Doctor Peterson said as she looked at Will's visitors "He's still very weak and needs the rest."
They all nodded and Estrella gave him another kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow," she said as they walked out.
"Dad" Will said and his father turned and looked at him. He looked so frail and small lying attached to all those tubes on the big bed. "Please stay with me" Will said and his father nodded. He walked over to his bed and sat down in a chair, taking his hand in his.
Will was breathing heavily and Bill rubbed his shoulder.
"Easy son" he said as he looked at him "Just relax and close your eyes."
Will nodded. His eyes felt heavy and he allowed them to close. "Mom says hi" he whispered before he fell asleep, leaving Bill to sit alone with his thoughts.

Elizabeth gulped as she walked up the steps to James' family's mansion and knocked on the door.
"Miss Swann" the butler said as he opened the door and allowed her in.
"Hello Stephan" she smiled "Is James here?"
"I'll call him miss" Stephan said as he walked up the stairs. Soon after James came walking down the steps dressed in a gown.
"Elizabeth, darling" he said as he moved to kiss her but Elizabeth stepped back and looked at him.
"James, we need to talk," she said.
"Let's go up to my room" James said as he took her hand but she pulled away.
"No" she said, "We need to finish this now. For the past months you had paraded me around like a prize, never caring about my feelings. You never even told me once that you loved me or cared for me. It was always about my name and my money. Well James, read my lips. IT IS OVER AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN."
With the words said Elizabeth spun on her heel and walked out the door leaving James standing in the hall.
He was seething with anger. Estrella had been right. He would have to put a stop to this and soon.
Elizabeth drove home and fell on her bed.
"Elizabeth darling" her father said as he stood in her door "Whatever in the world happened?"
"I broke up with James" Elizabeth said.
"Well it's about time Elizabeth" her father said as he sat down on you.
"I know I never listened to you father and I'm sorry. My hurt and rejection had blinded me in the past but now I saw James for who he really is and I don't want anything to do with him."
"That's fine love," her father said "Now how's young William doing?"
"He's awake," Elizabeth said "But he's still very weak."
"There's something you're not telling my Elizabeth" her father pushed and Elizabeth smiled.
"We're in love," she said shyly.
Mr. Swann only smiled and left his daughter to her own thought as he made his way to his own room. Finally something good was happening in his daughter's life.

It was near midnight and Bill was still keeping watched at his son's side. Will was twitching and very uneasy.
He looked down to see his son's eyes open, pain shining in the young man's eyes. "Easy Will," he said as he pushed the nurse's call button.
"It hurts dad" Will whimpered "It hurts so bad."
"I know son," he said as he tried to comfort Will although he knew that his son was in a lot of pain. He breathed a sigh of relief as the nurse came into the room.
"He's in pain," Bill said, as he looked at the nurse "Can't you give him something to help?"
"We can" Doctor Peterson said as she came into the room and smiled at Will. "Don't worry Will" she soothed "We're going to help you as soon as possible." She talked to the nurse whom left to go and get her what she needed.
"Owwww" Will moaned as he tried to speak but his lungs felt is if they were on fire.
"I'm sorry about the tube Will" Doctor Peterson said, "We'll take it out as soon as you're asleep. I don't want to hurt you."
Will nodded and clung to his father's hand, squeezing as a wave of pain swept over him.
Soon the nurse returned with a syringe and some other bottles.
"Easy Will" Doctor Peterson said as she tested the needle and held his arm still "This is going to make you feel all better." She injected him and Will whimpered as the needle went into this arm.
It wasn't even five minutes when Will calmed down and fell asleep.
"He'll be fine the rest of the night" Doctor Peterson said as she escorted Bill from the room. He needed to get back home and rest a while.

"You don't know how glad I am that you're fine" Estrella said as she smiled at Will.
He was fine and the pain medication and morphine was keeping his pain at bay.
"Stella" he said and squeezed her hand, making her look at him "We need to talk."
Estrella looked at him and then she started to cry. "I knew it," she said as she jumped up "You're going to dump me because of Elizabeth. Don't look so surprised Will, I heard you. I was on my way to see you that evening when I heard you telling her that you love her."
"Stella" Will said.
"Don't Stella me William Turner. Now I know what kind of man you are. Thanx for breaking my heart. I'm going to make it easy for you. Let's just forget about each other. I can't believe that I actually thought we had something going. You were in love with her the entire time that we went out. And we even slept together, you promised me that we would always be together. Oh hell, I was such a loser."
"Stella no" Will said also crying now "I never meant to hurt you, I promise."
"Well you did Will," she said as she turned and walked away. "Never come near me again. You and Elizabeth will regret ruining my life."
With these words she fled, leaving a very distraught young man lying in the bed.
As she walked down the hall she heard alarms going off and saw nurses rushing into room number three one five. "Doctor" one of them called as the alarms kept screaming, echoing down the hall is it the sound was following her.
"Goodbye Will," she said as she left the hospital and drove back to campus, desperate to find the only friend she had left. He would know what to do and she wanted Will and Elizabeth to pay for all the pain they had caused her.
