Chapter Sixteen
For such a big house it didn't take that long to get to the back. Darius looked back. "Do they care that you aren't following them home?" he asked. Pearl shrugged.
"No, I pretty much do whatever I want...we aren't that close."
Darius nodded. "You're so lucky. Everyone around me...ugh, you'd think I was still a child. Everyone always has to be right there. It feels like they don't even give me room to breathe!"
For once Pearl felt jealous. Why didn't she have that? Why didn't Jack and Elizabeth care? Did they not care about her? "
"Well, at least you know they care. You really don't realize how lucky you are Darius." She admitted.
"But you must have so many adventures with your father. After all he is a pirate, and I envy that so much, I would give anything to be in your shoes."
Pearl couldn't believe her ears. She wanted to slap him. How could he want what she had?!
"Darius, you don't know what you're talking about. It's not fun having a pirate as a father. You never see him, and when you do he is drunk and just...no!" she shouted. "You don't know how lucky you are Darius! You have a father that loves you, friends that treat you like family, and most likely a beautiful house!"
Darius stood up from the chair he was sitting in. "Pearl calm down. I believe you, but I'd still trade it all."
Pearl just stared at him. "Trade it for what? What could possibly be out there that would be worth more than this?" she said almost screaming.
Darius looked up from his feet and into her eyes. "You."
Pearl looked at him and took a step back. What they hell was he on? They hadn't even known each other for a full day. Sure, he was cute, but...but...no! This wasn't right.
"Darius, what are you talking about? You barely even know me! Hell, the only reason you know my last name is because of my father."
Darius was about to say something but before he could Pearl interrupted. "Darius, you have problems!" she shouted as she stormed off.
Ugh where was John when she needed him. She just needed someone to hold her and tell her it was ok. Honestly, she didn't even know what was wrong. Everything really. She just didn't want to deal with it anymore.
Pearl rushed back to her ship. She ran across the deck. Most of the men were asleep. "WAKE UP! WERE LEAVING NOW!" With that the crew scattered around the ship preparing to leave. Pearl rushed down to her room, and sat on the floor in a corner.
There Pearl lifted her skirt and on the guarder for her stockings was a dagger she always carried. Pearl lifted her arm and put the blade to her wrist. She closed her eyes and inhaled. Pearl slowly ran the blade over her skin letting the blood drip onto the floor. She opened her eyes and smiled. This always made her feel better. Seeing the blood made her feel...alive.
She knew she needed help, but it didn't mean she was going to get it. Now that she thought about it she was one fucked up person.
~*~
Just as Pearl was finished up wrapping the wound on her wrist out of nowhere John entered. She looked up and smiled. Slowly she stood up and kicked the knife behind her causing it to slide under the table. John didn't pay much attention to it.
"Hello Pearls." He said while walking toward her.
Pearl smiled. "Long time, no see John. Where have ye been?" she asked.
John shrugged. "Just wandering around I guess." Pearl didn't jump to conclusions because honestly she could care less. Sure, they were truly in love, but sometimes she really couldn't care what he did. Was that a bad thing for not caring sometimes?
John took a step closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. "So, I hear you met your granddad." She murmured as he nibbled on her neck.
Pearl giggled slightly. "Oh yes, and it was just sooo much fun." She said sarcastically. John laughed softly now moving toward the bed in the corner. Of course Pearl followed.
There they laid together for hours simply enjoying one another's 'company'. Once Pearl had fallen asleep in John's arms, John laid there only staring. The only time Pearl looked truly peaceful was when she was asleep. This was when John thought a lot. He loved Pearl he really did, and he would give his life for her. But would they ever marry? He wasn't sure if she felt the same way. Pearl didn't seem like someone that could take commitment very well.
They would see eventually. When the time came they would see. As Pearl slept John kissed her head and slowly caressed her face and he sang softly to her.
"Hold onto me love. You know I can't stay long, all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid...Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms holding my last breath?" He was then interrupted. Pearl moaned softly as her eyes began to open.
"Our song." She whispered with a small smile on her face.
John smiled and nodded. "It will be ours forever."
Pearl smiled once again as her eyes closed once more. "Goodnight." She whispered.
"Goodnight Pearl." John whispered back as he finally laid down to rest next to her.
