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.

Paris – France
Hotel Room
23:00 PM
-------------------------------------
"Jack" Will called as he opened the door of his best friend's room "Where the hell are you? We're waiting to order." He turned and froze when a gun came into his view.
"Close the door" a female voice ordered and Will obeyed.
"What do you want?" he asked as he looked around for Jack.
"Nothing" she sneered as she came into the light and looked at him. "So pretty" she said as she ran a finger across his cheek "Too bad you need to be out of the way."
"What?" Will asked but then suddenly pain exploded in his stomach and he sank to the ground. Clutching his hand to the wound he stared up at her.
"Nothing personal" she said "You just sure as hell pissed off someone else."
That was the last Will remembered as he sank into unconsciousness.
----------
Will opened his eyes when he was slapped through the face.
"Come on sleepy head," said a familiar voice "You can't sleep all day." He slowly lifted his head grimacing at the pain that ebbed from the wound on his head. He saw a long man standing in front of him. A girl with white hair sat in a chair looking at her nails.
"No" said Will as he recognised the man.
"Hello Will," said Adrian as he lifted his head so he could look him in the eyes "It's been some time."
"Yeah and you look as cunning as ever."
"And you've picked up an attitude" said Adrian as he slapped him through the face. "You tried to kill my friends," snarled Will "I can never forgive you for that."
"Oh your friends will be dead by the end of the week. I left them a little reminder of what happened because he got in the way."
"Jack will kill you," said Will as he squirmed to get free.
"Oh, I'm counting on it" Adrian smiled. He walked over to Will and slapped him through the face. When he looked at Will, he saw the fire glowing in the younger man's eyes. "Bring him" he said, "It's time to show Jack I mean business."
Two men grabbed Will and pulled him into another room. Adrian closed and locked the door behind them. An hour later the door opened again and Adrian stepped out first, videotape in his hand. "Make sure this is delivered directly to Jack," he says as he handed the tape to Juliana.
"I will" she said and looked into the door. The two men were untying Will and pulling him out.
"Take him to his room" said Adrian as he gave him another kick. Will didn't move.

Two days later

"Why haven't they got any leads?" Elizabeth said as she looked at Jack and Anamaria.
Jack had been released earlier that day after the doctors found his wound to be not so severe. The thing that was worrying him was the fact that Juliana was doing the dirty work.
"We'll find him Lizzie" Jack said as he got up and gave her a hug.
"You get some rest," Anamaria said as she pulled Jack to the room and made him lie down. Soon he was fast asleep due to his pain medications.
DREAM (FLASHBACK)
"It's a perfect day" she smiled as she wrapped her arms around the dark haired man's waist and rested her head on his shoulder.
"A perfect day for a perfect lady" Jack said as he pulled her closer and kissed her. "I love you Juliana."
"Love you too" she said as she closed her eyes and savoured the atmosphere around them. She looked up when she heard him sigh and smiled.
Their little paradise was interrupted however when one of Jack's friends came running up to them.
"Pedro" Jack said as he stood and pulled Juliana to her feet "What is it?"
"Jack" Pedro breathed "It's Sheila."
"What about her?" he asked. "His adopted sister was his whole life since they had taken her in after her parents were murdered about a month ago. She was his whole world and he loved her very much.
"She's dead," Pedro said as he looked at the couple "The police found her body near the quarry."
"No" Jack breathed as he backed up and sat on the ground "She was visiting her friend. She can't be dead, she can't."
"Jack" Juliana, said as she pulled him against her and hugged her sobbing boyfriend.
They returned home and sat in the living room waiting for Jack's parents to inform them what had happened.
A police officer came walking into the room and looked at them. "Miss Perez" he said as he looked at Juliana "You are under arrest for the murder of Miss Sheila Sparrow. You have the right…"
Everything around Jack went silent as he looked at Juliana being handcuffed and led away by the police. He had been betrayed. His girl, the woman that he loved, had used him to kill his sister and her parents.
He later found out the Juliana and her brother Adrian were assassins and work for the highest bidder that wanted to use their services.
DREAM (FLASHBACK)
Jack sat up in bed. "Sheila" he whispered as tears ran down his cheeks." His darling sister was dead and he was all alone.
Soon after they moved to Port Royale. Jack's parents wanted him to move on and it took some time but after he met Will, Elizabeth and Anamaria he was whole again and enjoyed the life he once had.
Jack smiled as he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
----------
Anamaria opened the door at the third knock. "Yes" she said as he looked at the man standing in the doorway.
"Package for Mr. Jack Sparrow" the man said holding out a large brown parcel.
"I'll take it," said Anamaria.
"My orders are to give it to him in person" the man said again.
"Well he's sleeping at the moment but I'll make sure he gets it. I promise."
The man nodded and Anamaria signed for the package. She took it inside and placed it on the table.
"What is it?" asked Jack as he came down out of the room.
"Jack" said Anamaria "You shouldn't be up. The doctor told you to rest."
"I can't sleep," said Jack, as he sat on the couch "Not now. Who was at the door?"
Anamaria picked up the package. "This came for you" she said and handed it to him.
He opened it and took out the videocassette. "Wonder what it is? Shall we see?"
Anamaria took the video and placed it in the video player. She switched on the TV and sat down next to Jack. The video blurred but came into focus.
"Hello Jack" said a familiar voice over the TV "Thought you got rid of me for good?"
Jack sat back. "Adrian" he snarled "I should have known."
"Well I didn't forget you" he said "I even have something for you."
The camera's angle changed to reveal Will sitting on a chair. His hands tied behind his back. Jack paled and Anamaria balled her fists in anger.
"Now listen," said Adrian "The negotiations are simple. 10 million dollars delivered to me by tomorrow evening. I'll let you know where and when. And if I see the police he'll be dead before you know it."
Jack just stared at the screen.
"Oh yes" said Adrian "Before I go I have a little show for you. Just to let you know how serious I am."
The camera turned again to face Will.
Adrian pulled back and hit him with the fist, which send Will flying off the chair.
Jack jumped up but Anamaria pulled him back down. Jack sat there as Adrian and two of his thugs beat Will. He yelled in pain and the tears flowed freely from Jack's eyes.
"No" he said, "Don't do it."
Will's yelling stopped as Adrian's boot made contact with his head.
They stepped back to reveal Will lying on the floor. He was unconscious. Blood seeping from his mouth and nose.
"I'll be waiting," said Adrian and the screen went dead. Anamaria looked at Jack and saw that he was just staring in front of him. This was too much for them both but Jack was going to be scarred for life if they didn't do something.
Elizabeth was also now sobbing hysterically as Jack held her in his arms.
Will was suffering and there was nothing the could do about it.
He got up and headed towards the phone.
