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.

"How is he?" asked Anamaria as she met the man at the door to the bedroom.
"He's sleeping under a heavy sedative but he'll be fine after some rest. He's exhausted from everything. I'm afraid this isn't doing him any good. I'll check on him in the morning again. If it is needed, I'll give him another sedative. Elizabeth is also resting and I need you to keep her calm and quiet. She's near to a collapse."
"I will" Anamaria said, "This waiting isn't doing any of us any good."
James looked at Anamaria. "I hope they find them. It will do everyone good once they get on with their lives. I'll see you in the morning."
"Bye James" said Anamaria as he walked with him to the door.
She saw Annabel and Lindsey come down the hallway just as James left.
"Hi" said Lindsey as Anamaria motioned them to come in "Where's Jack?"
"He's sleeping," said Anamaria "James gave him a sedative after the video he saw."
"What video?" asked Lindsey.
Anamaria sighed.
"Adrian and Juliana kidnapped Will," she said.
Lindsey looked at her in astonishment.
"They sent Jack a tape with instructions on it. They also kicked and beat Will, taping everything. Jack had to sit and watch as Will was nearly killed. He was unconscious when they stopped. I decided to call James to help Jack and Elizabeth calm down."

Will slowly opened his eyes. He tried to sit up but a lightning strike of pain made him abandon the effort. His whole body ached and his head pounded. Besides feeling nauseous, he felt tired and sleepy. He looked up when he heard the door open. "Great" he thought "Time to be kicked again." He thought about Elizabeth.
What must his poor love be going through by now?
Two men came in and grabbed him. They pulled him up and knocked him into the chair.
"Good to see you're awake," said Adrian.
Will looked up and saw that the girl was still by his side.
"Enjoyed scaring my friends half to death" he said.
Adrian strikes him. "That has nothing to do with you" he snarled "You're friends will be joining you very soon."
"No" yelled Will "He'll never come…."
Then one guard strikes him and he slumped to the ground. "Get him out of my site" snarled Adrian.

Anamaria opened the door and looked at the person in front of her.
"Mister Turner" she said, "I didn't expect you so soon."
He shook his head. "We came as soon as we could."
"We?" asked Anamaria and looked behind him.
"Hello Anamaria" said Mister Swann as he gave her a kiss.
"What are you two doing here?" she asked as they carried their suitcases into the house.
"We thought you might need some support," said Bill "Mister Swann called me this morning and we decided to fly here and see what can be done. Besides, we don't trust you being alone for too long. No, we came to be with you and hope for the best. Where's Jack?"
Mister Swann picked up their suitcases and walked inside.
"He's sleeping" she said, "I got James to give him a sedative so he could rest. Elizabeth as well. This waiting isn't doing them any good. You can go and see them."
Bill nodded as he walked up the stairs towards Jack's room. He quietly walked to his side. He was sleeping and he almost cried when she saw the dark rings under his eyes. Then he moved to look in on Elizabeth. "Oh Elizabeth" he whispered "What have they done to you?" he kissed her on her cheek and walked out the door and downstairs to Anamaria and Mister Swann.

Anamaria, Mister Swann, and Mister Turner were sitting round the table eating breakfast. Jack was still sleeping when Anamaria wanted to take him some coffee.
"Let him sleep" said Mister Turner.
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
"Hello" said Anamaria as he answered Jack's mobile.
"Anamaria" said a voice "How good of you to stand by your friend. You always were a patriotic friend."
"What do you want Adrian?" snarled Anamaria.
"Oh not much" laughed Adrian "I want ten million dollars in cash delivered by Jack himself at a address I'll send him later. He is to come alone. If I see the cops or anyone else, Will won't live to see tomorrow. Got that?"
Anamaria's hand tightened around the phone, wishing it was Adrian's neck.
"Yes I understand" she said, "I'll see to it that Jack gets the message."
"Good" laughed Adrian "And tell Jack to hurry since Will may still die because my two friends had some fun with him. Also give little Elizabeth his love, he misses her so much." With this, he put the phone down.
Anamaria stood there not knowing what to say.
"What did he want?" asked Mister Turner.
Anamaria sighed. "He wants the money tonight or he'll kill Will. And Jack has to go alone. If he sees anyone else he'll kill Will on the spot."
"Then I am going alone," said a voice from the stairs.
"Jack" said Anamaria and Mister Turner at the same time as they turned to the stairs.
Anamaria walked to him. "No you're not," she said.
"Please Ana" said Jack as he sat down "Don't argue with me now. I don't have the strength at the moment."
"That's my point" she said, "You're suppose to be resting. Not walking around."
"I don't care," said Jack as he walked to the phone "I'm going to get my friend and Elizabeth's fiancée back. You know Adrian. He won't hesitate to kill Will after all the trouble we caused."
With these last words, he phoned the bank to arrange for the money. Mister Turner just sighed and looked at Anamaria. Both knew they couldn't stop him even if they wanted to.
"Wait a minute" he said, "What did you mean with Elizabeth's fiancée?"
"We're engaged father" a voice said from the door and they turned to see a teary eyed Elizabeth standing in the door.
"Oh Lizzie" Mister Swann said as he hugged her "We're going to get him back, don't worry. And what's this about being engaged. Why didn't you tell us?"
"We were going to phone you this morning before all of this happened" Elizabeth said as she moved and hugged Will's father as well.
After they settled down they waited for Jack to go and deliver the money and get Will back safe and sound.
