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 7 – Side By Side, Hand In Hand

Turner Manor
11:30 PM
-------------------------------------
"No please" Will whimpered as he tossed his head from side to side "Please let me go. NO!" He suddenly was pulled against another body and slowly rocked back and forth.
"Easy love" a soft voice whispered and Will felt himself relaxing.
"Lizzie" he murmured, still a little disorientated due to his medication and the nightmare.
"Don't worry," she said, "I'm here. Now close your eyes and go to sleep."
"Don't leave me" Will moaned softly and Elizabeth felt her heart break at the pain and fear in his voice.
"I won't" she said, "I'll be here when you wake up in the morning. Now get some rest. You had a hard day today and need to rest."
Will smiled sleepily as Elizabeth laid him on the bed with her and wrapped her arms around him.
From the door, Mr. Turner smiled at the affection showed between the two youngsters. He knew that Will was in good hands and that the vacation in Paris would do them good.

"He's definitely improving quickly," Doctor Peterson said as she looked at James' parents.
"Will he have brain damage" Mrs. Norrington asked, concerned for her son.
"I don't know" Doctor Peterson replied. "We will only be able to tell once he's awake. The damage may be to his senses and not his motor skills or his muscles."
She nodded and then thanked Doctor Peterson before leaving to sit at her son's side. "Please James" she begged "You need to wake up now so me and your father can help you sort out all the problems that you have."

St. Maria's Medical Centre
Two days later

"That it Will" Doctor Woodbourne said "A few more steps."
Elizabeth stared in wonder as Will made his way across the room to her.
"I did it" Will said as he held onto her to keep his balance and his honor.
"You did it" Elizabeth smiled. The news of James' recovery from his coma had been hard but they had security around the estate and she promised her father that she would be safe.
He had left for Spain for a conference and had left her with Will and Mr. Turner at their estate where he knew that she would be safe.
"Very good Will" Doctor Peterson said as both he and Elizabeth sat down in front of her desk. She took out the scans that the nurse had brought her a few minutes ago.
Elizabeth felt Will grip her hand.
This CAT scan would determine if Will was fit enough to go with them to Paris for a month to rest and recuperate.
"Everything looks okay" Doctor Woodbourne said "Congratulations on a fine recovery. Now do you believe what I said about the fact that it is all in your mind."
Will nodded and smiled. "Thank you for everything Doctor Woodbourne" he said "I really appreciated it."
"Just enjoy your trip and get enough rest. Seeing you happy and so full of life is all the thanx I need. I'm just glad that I was able to give your movement back to you."
"And I am in your debt for that" Will said as he put an arm around Elizabeth's waist and walked out the door with her.
Doctor Woodbourne looked after them with a smile on her face.

"Will, are you tired?" Elizabeth asked.
"No" Will shook his head.
"I need to tell you something. Or I need to show you something."
"Elizabeth, you're scaring me" Will said as Elizabeth drove through the gate leading to Port Royale's Cemetery.
"Come on" Elizabeth said as she helped Will out of the car and led him through the graves to the slight hill near the river.
"I couldn't tell you" Elizabeth said "None of us could tell you, afraid we might worsen your condition."
Will looked at her as they reached the hill.
A single grave looked out over the ocean. Bright flowers were placed around the gravestone.
He let go of Elizabeth's hand and walked closer to the grave. His heart froze when he saw the inscription on it.
Here rests:
