Prologue: AKA Guilty
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, places, plots etc from Walt Disney's Pirates Of the Caribbean. This was created only for entertainment. This is set around two years after we left the film.
A/N: As I have somewhat matured as a writer and person (in your dreams, honey) I thought that I should re-write this fic. I'd lost interest in Fan Fiction until I got a lovely little review from Taurus-Sparrow-0506, which made me think that I was good! Yay! Thanks to Taurus-Sparrow-0506 for that review and go check her out!!! Also, my friend captainme has been whining at me to update for weeks and weeks, so I think I owe her a little something...
Jacks POV
'I never meant to hurt you, Ana. I'm sorry...Please Ana...forgive me?' Jack had never really been the type to grovel, to be the one apologizing, even to love, but he was desperate. He felt more than guilty for what he had done to Ana-Maria, and he knew that no matter what he said or did, he knew deep inside his heart that she would NEVER take him back. He had lost all of his drunken yet smart senses and wanted nothing more than for his lover to take him back – no matter how unreal that fantasy was.
Ana Maria glowered, and not even bothering to talk to him, and turned away from him striding honorably. As she left she hissed without even looking at him, 'your words are nothing, I hate you.'
Jack watched longingly as Ana Maria strode away from him without looking back or even acknowledging the pain and embarrassment he was going through. Not that the pain he had had was anything compared to hers.
She had changed him, maybe for the better. He didn't know and never would. But one thing he did know was that Ana Maria had a right to be angry with him. He had performed the ultimate betrayal and needed to somehow gain her trust once again. Since his fatal youth he had known what it felt like to loose the person that you love, but this split his heart in two. 'Why do I have to be so stupid? I'd finally found her and I let her down! I'll never have her again...'
Knowing that the annoying little voice inside his head was definitely right, he turned away from Ana Maria's shrinking form and started to walk back to The Black Pearl.
He thought of what he had done and knew that he would be off the Rum. He was sad to have to give it up, even if it had caused what he'd done on the fateful night...
Ana's POV
Ana Maria watched as Jack climbed onboard his ship and wondered if she'd done the right thing. He'd lied and hurt her, that was for sure, but she loved him nearly enough to forgive him.
But she couldn't...
She couldn't let him get away with it.
There was nothing that he could do...
Gibbs POV
After his long and reflective walk, Jack reached his ship. He stood and stared solemnly at his ship. 'At least I'll always have you' He muttered to himself with a twitch of a smile. He'd never been so sad and alone – not even the past was anything compared to this. He rowed and climbed aboard The Black Pearl with low spirits, wanting to die.
Gibbs swaggered over to him and greeted him 'Hello, Jack.' He glanced over his captain and said 'Are ye ok?' as he had never since such emotions on the face of his captain.
'Gibbs...' Said Jack in a voice that told him not to question his sorrow. He looked at the floor trying to block Gibbs view of him and shut off the rest of the world.
Knowing his place – as crewmember and friend – He quickly changed the subject, and peered over Jack, expecting to see his good friend Ana, 'Where be Ana Maria Cap'in? He asked, truly caring. She was like the little sister he had never had...
'She's not coming back Gibbs' He said with unusual sorrow and a sigh. 'Way anchor' He sighed, and walked away slowly.
'Aye sir' he replied as his uncharacteristically sorrow captain and friend retreated to his cabin before yelling orders at the crew. Gibbs didn't know exactly what Jack had done - heck, nobody did most of the time - but he did know that something bad was going on. Ana Maria would never leave her ship and life unless something disastrous had happened. He was right about the disaster, and knew how bad things were when Jack appeared from his cabin soon after, and sat at the helm of the ship, watching as he was slowly dragged away from the island and the only person he'd ever loved...
Hope you've enjoyed this, and even if you didn't send me a nice review!!! If I get enough, I'll do write the rest of the story, and it will be longer! :)
