Summary: The sequel to FEELINGS TOO DEEP TO ADMIT TO YOU.
Pirates of the Caribbean turns 21st Century. Will, Lizzie, Jack and the rest of the POTC crew are all College students in my modern day story of their lives. Will is in a coma due to an injury suffered by protecting Elizabeth. Now everyone is trying to pick up the pieces of their lives.
Pairings: Jack / Anamaria, Will / Elizabeth and a lot of other characters.
Disclaimer: All the characters, ships, and places in the Caribbean belong to Walt Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (I wish). Some of the new characters are my own creations and therefore I have some ownership over them. The shopping centre is one in Cape Town; SA and I also don't own that name.Warning: Rating will go up for blood, gore and suicide. Beware also for plotting and backstabbing galore.
A/N: Please read and tell me what you think. First read FEELINGS TOO DEEP TO ADMIT TO YOU, otherwise you may not understand what is going on in this story. All reviews and ideas on coming chapters are most welcome.
Chapter 6 – Facing Your Nightmares
Turner Manor
11:30 AM
"Lizzie" a voice pulled Elizabeth from her dreams.
"What is it?" she groaned as she slowly opened her eyes.
"You have to get up Liz" Jack said as he moved so that she could sit up.
"What time is it?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"It's half past eleven," Anamaria said as she came into the room carrying a tray with four mugs on it. She placed it on the coffee table and handed one to Elizabeth and Jack.
Elizabeth nodded her thanks before leaning over and gently shaking Will.
Will groaned and tried to move away but Elizabeth leaned over and kissed him.
"Morning love" she whispered "Time to rise and meet the day. Or at least what's left of it."
Will smiled sleepily and finally his eyes fluttered open. He looked up at Elizabeth and smiled again. "I had the most wonderful dream" he sighed as he took her hand in his and held it tight.
"Sorry to break up the party" Mr. Turner said as he came into the room "But Will's physiotherapy appointment is in half an hour's time."
"Not her again" Will groaned "I can barely move when she's finished with me."
"I know it hurts son," Mr. Turner said as he placed a comforting hand on Will's shoulder "But your legs need to learn to walk again. It's for your own health."
"I know" Will said, "I just don't like feeling so helpless. It irritates the hell out of me."
Mr. Turner smiled and then walked into the dining room. "Breakfast's ready" he said before he disappeared around the corner.
Elizabeth got up and then helped Will to move to the side of the couch. Supporting him by his waist, she managed to get him up and helped him to the dining room.
Soon everyone was tucking into breakfast before Elizabeth and Jack helped Will up the stairs to his room.
While Jack helped Will to shower and get dressed, Elizabeth and Anamaria went to her guestroom to get dressed as well.
Winston Memorial Hospital
12:00 AM
"Well" Mr. Norrington asked as he looked at the doctor.
"His brain waves are picking up" she said, "He's starting to emerge from the coma. I can't say when he'll regain consciousness. It depends on the damage to his brain. It can be in a few minutes or in a few days."
"Thank you doctor" Mrs. Norrington said as she held her son's hand. "Thank you for saving our son's life."
Doctor Peterson nodded and left the room.
"Is it true?" Marina asked as she and Lindsey looked at her.
"I'm afraid so" she said "James Norrington is waking up and he'll be conscious soon."
"We need to keep him under guard" Lindsey said and Marina nodded.
"You need to leave Port Royale Lindsey" Marina said, "James knows who you are and he's going to come after you. I also know that Will and his friends are leaving for Paris in a few days' time. Go with them and follow them. I need you to keep them safe."
Lindsey nodded and left the room.
Marina thanked Doctor Peterson before leaving the hospital.
St. Maria's Medical Centre
12:30 AM
Will looked at the names of all the doctors indicating on which floor they were.
He followed his father and Elizabeth into an office and sat down.
Mr. Turner went to the receptionist's desk and told her that they were here.
Will took Elizabeth's hand in his and held it tight.
"Relax" Elizabeth, said, "It's going to be all right. Doctor Tilja Woodbourne is one of the best physiotherapists in the country. She's going to have you up and running in no time."
Will nodded and settled back into the couch.
Five minutes later the door opened and another young man came out the door on crutches.
"I'll see next week Tom" a soft voice called and Will immediately relaxed.
A woman in her early twenties came into the reception area and took a file from the receptionist.
"William Turner" she said and looked at him, smiling.
"Will" he said as he shakily rose and leaned on his crutches.
"I'm Doctor Woodbourne," she said as she shook Mr. Turner and Elizabeth's hands. "Come on in."
They all followed her inside and sat down in front of her desk.
"Well Will," she said as she motioned for him to sit on the bed. "I see here you had some nerve damage due to a gunshot wound and a blow to the head."
Will nodded and he eased himself onto the bed and relaxed.
"Don't worry" Doctor Woodbourne said, "We'll have you running about in no time. Your father told me that you and some friends are going to Paris next week?"
Will nodded as Doctor Woodbourne took his feet and gently twisted it.
"Does this hurt?" she asked and he shook his head.
She continued to move and bend his fee, asking him questions all the time.
She then asked Mr. Turner and Elizabeth to leave them a while and they left. She asked Will to take off his jeans and handed him a long gown.
"I know it's embarrassing" she said "But we need to start with massaging. I want you to try and wear a short or loose pipe pants next time."
Will nodded and drew in his breath when she kneaded his legs.
She continued to massage his legs and then bent them gain. "Much better muscle movement" she smiled at Will "Next time it will go better."
"Thank you" Will said as she drew the curtains close to give him some privacy.
"My pleasure" she said as she sat down and wrote down some notes in his file. When he was finished she escorted him out of her office.
Elizabeth walked to Will and looked at him.
"I'm fine," he said as he gave her a hug.
"So I'll see you in two days?" Doctor Woodbourne asked and Will nodded.
After thanking the doctor again they walked out to the car.
Elizabeth helped Will into the back seat and hopped in next to him.
Will sighed and leaned his head against her shoulder. He was feeling a little drowsy after all those exercises.
Elizabeth motioned to Will's father and he smiled. Will had fallen asleep on Elizabeth's shoulder and he wasn't aware of anything around him.
Mr. Turner stopped in front of the house and Elizabeth moved to wake Will.
"It's fine," Mr. Turner said, "Just bring me his crutches please. I'll take him up to his room." With no effort, mainly due to Will's weight, Mr. Tuner picked Will up in his arms and walked into the house.
Elizabeth took Will's crutches and followed him up to his room.
They tucked him into bed and then Elizabeth kissed him on his forehead. "Sleep tight Will" she said before they closed the door and left the young man to get some sleep.
