'Bang'
I woke up with a start, I heard people yelling and the boat rocking violently. It was still dark, it must have been maybe early, early morning or midnight. I got out of bed and moved towards the door, as soon as i opened it, a little bit of water ran around my feet, I'm suprised it didnt get through the crack under the door. I peeked my head out of the door and saw the whole crew wrestling this giant storm. People were up in the crows nest and some people were hanging off the ropes. Jack was standing at the helm, soaking wet. What was he doing? Just standing there....? I walked, no more like ran up to Jack. He was staring off into space, in his own little world. 'Jack? Jack? What are you doing out here, the storm is so bad, come back in the cabin with me!' I practically yelled in his face. 'No luv, I need to steer the ship.' GGRR this man was gonna get himself killed. 'Jack, someone else can do it, now come with me!' I grabbed his arm and ripped him from the wheel, I dragged him into the cabin and shut the door. 'Clair? Wot the ell was that for?' I took off my soaked boots and socks and sat down. 'Jack you could have been hurt, I mean, you can steer ships in some storm when I'm asleep. Just dont do it when I'm awake or....I'll repeat what I just did.' Jack nodded and took off his shirt, I stared, not like a 'damn he's sexy' but a weird stare like 'how the hell did he get those muscles?'. He looked back at me as his smiled. 'Like what ye see luv?' I rolled my eyes and went over to his drawer to get a shirt and a pair of pants. I felt him come up behind me and put his arms around my waist. 'Yer soakin wet luv.' I got away from his hold and went on trying to find some dry clothes. I mean, I didnt hate Jack, but I didnt want to get in bed with him either. I didnt want to have any relationship with him, except friendship. 'Luv, whats wrong?' Did he really want to know whats wrong? I'm on a ship with people I dont know, I dont know when I can go home, I miss my cigarettes and my televison, thats whats wrong. 'Just trying to find some dry clothes Jack.' I turned around and gave him a fake, reassuring smile. He smiled back and threw me a white shirt and some black pants. 'Ye can wear these luv, they got a little small for me.' I smiled and heard some whistling and saw a cannon, coming right for me, threw the window....I didnt have time to react.

I felt blood, rushing out of the deep gash it left in my chest, I felt myself getting weaker. All I could hear was Jacks voice, not exactly the last voice i wanted to hear, but at least it was a voice. I was in great pain, but I didnt fall asleep, because chances are when I fall alseep, I wont wake back up. I felt a hand intertwined with mine, it was Annamaria, Annamaria and Jack were kneeling over me. Jack was holding me in his arms and Annamaria was wiping the blood off me. I could see the cloth she was using, it was no longer white. I started to panick. 'AAHH, AHHHH.' Jack shifted me and whispered in my ear. 'Shh luv, Clair, yer ok, you'll be fine luv.' What the fuck was happening? I felt really tired, maybe i could just rest my eyes for a minute. Soon, I fell away to deep sleep.

I awoke to snoaring and pain, the snoaring was not my own but the pain sure was. Jack still had me in his arms but he had fallen asleep. I shifted and felt a deep sharp pain run through my chest. I yelped in pain as Jack flinched and awoke. 'Clair, yer awake.' I groaned and layed my head back to meet his face. 'Are you ok Jack...I mean me laying on you.' His brow furrowed and he smiled. 'Don worry bout me luv, I'm the one who should be worryin bout ye.' I smiled and stared at him, his eyes were sincere now, no longer holding that exciting sparkle. There was also a hint of worry in his eyes, but i chose to ignore it. At first I was in pain because I couldnt go home, now I'm in pain because I dont want to leave Jacks arms.
