Chapter nine
Oh shit. Pearl was freaking out. Why did she always get so nervous? Damn it Pearl! Stay still! Her thoughts shouted at her in her head. John leaned over and mumbled something in her ear.
"No one is going to believe you are a man if you keep shaking like that." He mumbled.
"Shut up!" Pearl said. She then stood up. "You know what? Forget it. I'm leaving." She declared. Just as she was opening the door John was about to stop her when Jack appeared in the room. No! she was stuck here!
"Evenin.'" Jack said. He then saw Pearl...er...Peter try to leave. Jack walked over and closed the door. "Where ye going in such a hurry there, mate?" he asked. Pearl shrugged and walked back over to the couch and sat next to John once again.
"Who's ye friend?" Jack asked John while looking over at 'Peter'.
John stood up. "Oh, this is my friend...Peter." John said a little nervously. Now see, Jack wasn't stupid. This didn't fool him. He had been around enough people in his life time to know when someone was lying. But Jack decided to make then squirm. He wanted to see if they'd come clean themselves.
"Peter is it?" Jack said as he extended a hand to 'Peter'.
Pearl gulped and returned the handshake. Jack studied 'Peter's' hands. They were quite small for a man. Jack didn't say anything. "Don't talk much?" Jack asked 'Peter'. 'Peter' nodded, and walked over to John who tried to act casual. Jack walked over and sat down in a chair next to the couch.
"So, John, ye said ye were Will's stepson did ye now?" Jack asked.
John nodded. "Yep, I am."
"Tell me, who is ye mother?" Jack asked.
"Her name is Jade O'Connell. I'm guessing they met a number of years ago because now I have a half brother. He is seven, I believe my mother named him after Will." John said.
Jack nodded in relief and approval. "Well I'm happy to see that he has gotten on with his life." Jack said.
John knew the story, so he didn't bother asking about what he meant until 'Peter' nudged him, for she wanted to know. John sighed. "Jack, what do you mean by that?" John asked regretting that he said that.
Jack didn't mind. "Well I mean with Elizabeth, Suzette's mum. She...well...we's met up again one night while ye father was out with his crew, and well..." Jack stopped. They knew what they meant though. 'Anyways, Liz came back to Port Royal acting as if nothing had happened, but her heart said otherwise. On the day of there wedding she left him for me." Jack said not knowing whether to sound proud at the moment or ashamed.
'What about Pearl?" 'Peter' blurted out.
Jack looked at him...well her. He cleared his throat. "Pearl is dead." He said. "She's jumped...and..." Jack stopped.
'Peter' looked angry. "Did you even try looking for her?" she asked.
"Yes actually we did, for many years...how do you know about 'er anyway?" Jack asked beginning to become a little suspicious.
Pearl ignored the comment. "Why don't you still look for her? Don't you care about her? She loved you and Elizabeth! That is why she jumped. She couldn't bare choosing between you and Grace and Robert!" Pearl shouted.
Jack stood up with anger in his eyes. "Don't you for one minute think that I didn't care! I love Pearl to death, and I will never stop! Now if you'd be so kind as to leave!" Jack shouted at Pearl as he pointed to the door. Pearl walked right up to Jack and looked him straight in the eye. She then just shook her head and walked away.
Before she left she turned around. "You don't realize it now, but you just lost your chance." Pearl said now not even hiding her voice. Letting him hear her real voice. Pearl then walked out of the house with John close behind. Jack stopped John.
"John, who was that really?" Jack asked.
John rolled his eyes. "Someone that just gave you your last chance." With that John left. He found Pearl standing outside on the cliff that she had jumped off of. This time she didn't care if John saw her crying. She let the tears roll down her cheeks and onto her neck. She took off her hat and wiped her face.
"Why can't he see it?" she asked John.
John wrapped his arms around her trying to comfort her. "Because he is blind. He doesn't know what he just lost." John whispered. John the cupped Pearl's face in his hands; she looked at him.
"Pearls don't let this get to you. You think he doesn't care, but who the hell cares about him? Pearl, you have so many people who love you already, and I will always care about you. You don't need him. You don't need any of them." John whispered.
Another tear rolled down Pearls face, and John wiped it away. "Come on. Lets get out of here." He said. Pearl smiled as they walked back to the ship. There they slept. John holding Pearl in his arms. Though Pearl could not sleep. She had to go back. She had gotten this far. She couldn't just forget about it now.
She quietly walked around the room getting dressed wearing her usual skirt, and cleavage showing top. She didn't care about her hair. She kept it out. She walked back to the house hoping Elizabeth would open the door. Luckily she did. Elizabeth gasped and hugged her.
"I didn't think you'd come back." She whispered.
Pearl took Elizabeth outside. "I want to see him." She said. Elizabeth smiled. She knew who she was talking about.
"Wait here." Elizabeth said. Pearl nodded. At that moment a million thoughts came rushing through her head. She held her breath and closed her eyes. It was cold out here.
~*~
"Jack. Jack wake up." Elizabeth said.
Jack rolled over and opened his eyes. "What's wrong Liz?" he asked.
Elizabeth shook her head. "Follow me." She said.
Jack got out of bed and put on his trousers and coat. They then walked outside. Jack squinted and looked around. He then saw her...was it really her?
A/N: hehe evil cliffy! Ya'll will have to wait until the next chapter. Now I know I have more than two people reading this fic, so please review *gives puppy dog face*
