1 Year later



A year had past, not six months like I promised, but I was busy starting my pirate life. At the moment, I just hope she doesn't hate me and I never see her again.

I had been walking around the streets for about half 'n hour before coming to Maggie's two story home. I snook over to the backyard and to Margaret's balcony window. I saw they put a rose terris up there, which is a good thing so now I can climb up, which I did. I hoped over the railing and opened the glass doors, only to reveal an empty room. So, I lay down on the bed, suspecting she had gone to dinner with her parents.

Of course, I was right, as always. She came into the room wearing a dark blue off the shoulder's type dress with her hair up in a bun, she looked absolutely stunning. She turned around from closing the door and almost had a heart attack,"Jack!!" She screamed as she run over to me and hug me tightly. I took her in my arms and got up from the bed, with my hands on her waist I lifted her up and gave her a small twirl before putting her down again, soon enough I was kissing her hard and full on her lips.

We finally broke the kiss after a couple minutes and she looked at me with a smile,"You're here! Finally! What happened to six months?" She asked. "I got busy luv, I'm sorry...but 'twas too much to take even the smalles' break. I mean, with the sackin' o' the ports, drinkin' the rum, attackin' the merchant ships, playin' wit the prosti-." I stopped right there and than. I had realized what I just said and it wasn't good. She pulled away from me and shouted, "You've been with hookers?!" I took her hand but she pulled it away hastily. "You cheated on me Jack! Why!?" She cried, I didn't like seeing her like this, all upset.

"It's not me fault luv, that's wha' a pirate does." I say with a grin, than she slapped me, hard. It was my very first slap, very nice, ey? "But you control yer actions!" She yelled at me, than walk off to the balcony and pointed below to the gesture of 'leave'. I walked over to her, so I was only a foot away from her,"Please luv, lets talk this over." I say, with her looking so cold, I took my coat and put it over her shoulders."Please?" I plead and she nods, so we go inside and sit on her bed. "I'm sorry luv, maybe we should stop this relationship, and just be friends again, savvy?" A tear rolled down her face and I wiped it away with my thumb as she nodded. "A-alright, I guess so." She said as calmly as she could.

"So, what now?" I ask her, wondering what we should do before I leave in the morning. She smiled, I was guessing she wanted to make things normal again,"Lets get some ice cream and go to the beach." She said and stood up. I nodded and stood up as well."I think I should change first." She said and went into the bathroom, only a few minutes later she comes out wearing a simple light green dress."I have no jackets for this dress, may I borrow yours?" She asked as she took the pin out of her hair, making it flow down her back. I smiled and handed her my jacket," 'Course." I simply said and once she got the jacket on I hooked her arm with mine.

We sneaked some chocolate ice cream from her kitchen with cones and we walked to the beach. We shared good times that have happened in the past year and bad, mostly I talked, she didn't really have much to say, her life was pretty boring in my opinion. "So, ye wouldn't ever like t' sail wit' me?" I asked her, curious. "I couldn't Jack, for your own safety with my father and I don't have any skills to become a pirate anyways." She said, eating the last of her ice cream cone. "I could help ye wit' yer skills, tha' would be easy." I said, with her reply of,"Yes, but still, with my father, he would go after you because you have me and that's not good. Now, is it?" I smirked and nodded, knowing she's right.

The next morning at the docks, I'm saying goodbye to her once again,"See ye in a year?" I said with a laugh, "Definitely, and keep your promise, got it?" She said with a smile and than hugged me tightly,"I'll miss you, again." We both said at the same time and laughed. "Well...bye." She said and waved to me as I walked up the gangplank, I waved back and blew her a kiss, once I was aboard I sighed, another year without her...
