I really want to thank you all for reviewing. I realized some of you are confused. Don't worry, I'm writing a prequel to this story that explains why Elizabeth is not in the story, how Juliet came to place and everything else you have questions about. Thanks for the reviews!
Disclaimer: Nope, nothing.
Chapter Seven: The Truth
"I don't know where to hide it!" Juliet exclaimed. Her and Cassandra were back on the ship.
"Throw it in the closet," Cassandra replied who was the look out.
"Are you kidding? And let Will find it?" Juliet asked. "Can I stuff it in your closet in your room?" Juliet asked.
"Yeah, come on. The coast is clear," Cassandra replied. They rushed out into the hallway and into Cassandra's room. Juliet placed her dress in the closet. As soon as she shut the door, they heard footsteps.
"Just in time, the guys are back," Juliet replied as they walked out into the hallway. The guys were coming down the stairs so Juliet rushed up to Will. "Hi," she said and kissed him.
"I think we should leave," Will said but before Juliet could respond, Jack went ballistic.
"Cassandra! How could you not tell me you were pregnant?! With my child?!" Jack asked.
"You were pregnant?!" Juliet exclaimed. Will placed a hand over her mouth as to say 'let them deal with this on their own.'
"Yes, I was. Jack I'm so sorry I didn't tell you," Cassandra replied upset. You could tell in her voice that she sounded like she wanted to cry.
"Well, you can tell me now," Jack said wanting an answer out of all of this.
"I didn't find out I was pregnant until the day after you left," Cassandra replied. "When my parents found out, they kicked me out saying that it wasn't right because I wasn't married."
"Well, then what happened to the baby?" Jack asked now truly concerned.
"After they kicked me out, I went into a deep state of depression and the stress from everything else affected my lifestyle. I miscarriaged the baby. That drove me into more depression. So I left St. Isaac, I traveled around for awhile before landing in Tortuga two months ago. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Don't be angry with me," Cassandra replied as a tear traveled down her face. She pushed pass Jack and went into her room. Juliet followed her into the room and the door was closed before Jack or Will could get in.
Jack turned to Will. "I'm really stupid."
"Why? It's not your fault," Will tried to explain.
"But it is, I didn't think I'd get her pregnant. And now because of me her parents don't want to talk to her anymore. It's all my fault," Jack replied. He passed Will on the steps and went up on deck. Will followed him to try to talk some sense into him.
With the girls…
"I should've told him sooner," Cassandra said through her tears. Juliet rubbed her back trying to sooth her.
"You couldn't of. He was gone, a letter can't get to a sailing ship," Juliet tried to explain.
"I know, but I just wish that I could have done something about it," Cassandra replied. Juliet smiled.
She could tell Cassandra really loved Jack. She just didn't know how to help Cassandra deal with this problem. But at least the truth had come out.
Sorry, I know it's kind of short, but my day is busy today. I'll write more tomorrow.
