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.

Jack pulled his jacket closer to him as the wind swept round the corners. Then he saw the black car coming towards him. His hand clenched the briefcase with the money closer.
Adrian got out as the car stopped and walked towards him. "Jack" he said, "It's so good to see you again. Did you bring the money?"
Jack nodded. "But I want to see Will first."
Adrian nodded. "I didn't hurt him too much" he smiled as he motioned for them to bring Will.
They dragged him out of the car. He didn't look too good.
"Are you okay?" asked Jack.
Will slowly nodded.
"Okay" said Adrian "Give me the money."
"No" said Jack "Let Will go first."
Adrian signalled and they let Will drop to his knees on the floor. As Jack turned he looked into the gun Juliana was holding.
"Now" she said, "If you will be so kind as to get into the car."
Jack looked at them and walked towards the car. He got in and they drove away. As they stopped at the warehouse Adrian motioned them inside. His thugs would make sure Will got back to his room.
As they entered the door Jack lunged at Adrian and knocked the gun from his hand.
"We should have made sure you were dead," said Adrian as he tightened his hands around Jack's throat.
Just then, Will walked into the room followed by Adrian's thugs. Will saw Adrian and Jack struggling. He got mad.
"GET OFF HIM" he yelled and dove onto him.
"Will no!" yelled Jack.
Adrian lost his grip and Jack was pushed aside. Two men grabbed him while the other two grabbed Will.
Adrian got up and wiped the blood from his nose. "You bastard" he said "I'll teach you to do that again." He punched Will in the side.
Will screamed as Adrian punched and kicked him again and again.
The guards released him and Will fell to the floor.
Adrian gave him a kick and turned to the men. "Lock them up" he said and walked out.
Will just lay there, not even attempting to move.
Jack quickly crawled to his side and rolled him onto his back.
Will looked at him with exhausted and pained eyes. "Are… you… okay?" he whispered.
"Why did you have to be so damn heroic?" asked Jack with tears in his eyes. Seeing his brother like this was too much to bear.

"Where could they be" asked Lindsey as she looked at the map.
"Any where" said Anamaria as she sat down next to her. Jack hadn't come back and they were getting worried.
"I'm calling the police," said Anamaria as she walked to the phone.
Lindsey looked at her as he spoke to a captain. She just hoped they were okay and that no one will get killed. The episode of the attempted murder and Will still in her memory.

Jack lifted Will's shirt. Large massive bruises were already forming. He felt his side and Will cried out in pain. He was almost certain that Will had internal injuries from the beating. He could have broken some ribs and if Adrian had hit hard enough his lungs could have been punctured by a rib. He only hoped that he wasn't bleeding internally.
Will tried to sit up but he pushed him back down.
"Stay down," he ordered. "I need you to stay still. I don't know how bad you're hurt."
Will nodded but lost consciousness a few seconds later.
Jack looked once more at his side. A large area was swelling up. The bruises were hideous to look at. He knew that Will couldn't take another beating. Another beating like the last one would kill him, but then that's what Adrian wanted, wasn't it. "Where are you guys?" he said to himself before turning back to try and make his brother as comfortable as he could.
----------
Marina looked out the window towards the ground as the two helicopters circled the area of the docks, looking for just where Adrian and Juliana might be holding Jack and Will. She saw the abandoned shops and that their helicopter was lowering itself into a clearing that wasn't too far from them.
They touched down and Marina, Lindsey, along with two armed policemen named Brockton and Mack jumped out.
Marina knew that the other chopper carrying the rest of the armed force was going to keep circling in case this wasn't the spot.
"We need to search these shops to see if it looks like they were here," Mack said, "but be careful not to disturb the area too noticeably. If they are coming back here we don't want any evidence of our presence here. If they know we're here they'll take off, or hurt someone. Split up and everyone take a storeroom. Keep your radio's on so we can communicate."
She walked outside and headed to the next building not being searched. She stepped up to the porch and was about to enter when he heard Lindsey shout. "I've found something!"
Marina flew down the steps and hurried to Lindsey, as did everybody else.
"What do you have?" Marina asked. "This piece of panel is loose," said Lindsey as she pushed against it. It opened in a large room. There were some chairs in the room as well as sheets that covered the windows. One chair stood on its own in the middle of the room.
Lindsey walked to it then pulled his finger over a dark puddle lying next to the chair. She held it under his nose and smelt it. "It's blood" she said "They were here a little while ago." The others nodded. "We need to find out their next plan" said Mack. They went up stairs and began to work out their plan of attack.
----------
Jack looked at his friend.
He was unconscious again but it was better this way. He didn't know how much more he could take seeing the agonised look of pain in Will's eyes. And Will was getting weaker.
Adrian just left food and water for one of them. His intentions clearly that he wanted Will to die.
But he wasn't giving up hope. He had given most of the food and water to Will to help him to stay lucid until Lindsey and the others found them. It was the only way to help Will to survive. He had tried to make him as comfortable as he could but there wasn't much in the room. He adjusted the jacket under Will's head and sat down next to his brother. He lay down on the floor and allowed sleep to take him.
----------
"We're getting nowhere," said Lindsey as they sat in the room drinking coffee.
"I know," said Anamaria "but there's nothing we can do at the moment. We'll just have to wait."
Just then Anamaria's phone rang. "Anamaria" she said "Really. We're on our way."
Lindsey looked at her as she closed the phone and got up. "You coming?" he asked. "We may now have found them" said Marina "A witness gave us the registration of the van. The police traced it and we got an address."
"The problem is we can only go tomorrow morning," said the policeman. Anamaria nodded and thanked him.

Jack was becoming more and more worried about Will as the next day rose.
He was in a lot of pain, and he was almost positive that he was bleeding internally. He could see the blood spreading under his skin.
Will needed to get to a hospital. His friend had also been fading in and out of consciousness. As much as he preferred for him to be alert and responsive, he was also grateful for the times when he was unconscious. At least during that time he got a break from the pain he was in.
Unfortunately right now he was awake and looking very tired and scared.
"Jack," he whispered. "I think something is wrong."
"What do you mean?" he asked. "I think Adrian did more than just give me a few new bruises," he said quietly. "I think I injured my lungs. I can't breath as easily as a few hours ago. They feel as if they're on fire."
"You're going to be okay," he reassured him. "We just have to hang on until Lindsey and Annabel gets here. They'll find us, I promise."
"I don't think I can hang on very much longer" Will breathed through clenched teeth. His words were slurring together as he was becoming weaker with every passing hour.
"Don't you talk like that," Jack said. "Don't you dare. You aren't going anywhere, you hear me."
Will nodded and rested his head against Jack's leg. He coughed and when he did a small tickle of blood came out of his mouth. Jack tried not to let the fear show on his face. He smiled at Will and placed his arm around him for comfort.
"I'm glad you're here," Will said. "I mean, I'm not glad that you got kidnapped, but I'm glad I'm not alone."
"I understand," he said, grinning slightly.
Will's eyes closed and his head slowly rolled to the side.
Jack quickly checked his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt his heart still beating, but he knew that Will was in trouble, and there was nothing he could do about it. He knew he was losing the battle and the reality that Will would die was looming in front of him. He could not stop it from happening.
Will would also give up the fight sooner or later.
He could tell that his friend was in very much pain and he wished that he could just hug him and take some of the pain on himself. He forced some more water through Will's lips and made him drink the water. He was so thirsty but Will needed the water more than he did. He just had to ignore the urge. He lay down next to Will and fell asleep.
----------
Outside Marina, Lindsey, and the police found the hidden warehouse. They slowly opened the door and made their way down the corridor.
"I hear voices" whispered Lindsey and they hid in the shadows.
Marina saw Adrian walking by. "We're in the right place" he told the policeman. They carefully followed them to the room.
----------
Jack jerked awake as he heard someone at the door. He sat up as Adrian entered the room.
Adrian walked towards him and Will. "What's wrong with him?" Adrian asked.
"What's wrong is that you beat him. I think his lungs are injured and he's bleeding internally. He needs to get to a hospital."
"That's too bad," Adrian said emotionlessly. He opened the door and motioned for Jack to get up. He cautiously stepped out of Adrian's way, never taking his eyes off him.
One of his thugs walked around to stand next to him.
"Get him into the other room," Adrian ordered. "I'm going to have to bring him in."
He gave Will a slap on the face trying to wake him up. "Wake up, Will." He slapped him again. "Shit," Adrian said as he hoisted Will up into his arms and stepped out of the room. He began to walk to the other room.
----------
"I hear movement inside," Lindsey said. She gently removed the plate to reveal a hidden corridor.
"That's Jack's voice," said Marina as she stood inside the corridor.
"Come on," said Lindsey as she took off along the corridor.
----------
Jack stepped into the room first, followed by Adrian and Will.
He threw Will down on the floor.
Jack closed his eyes as he heard Will's head connecting with the floor.
"Was that necessary?" he yelled.
Adrian hit him through the face.
"Yes" he said "and unless you keep quiet I'll put him out of his misery once and for all." He pointed the gun at Will. He looked at Jack and then struck him behind his head with the back of the gun. "Looks like this is the only way to keep you quiet." He closed the door and walked out.
As soon as he reached the top of the stairs his gun was jerked away form him. He was startled but only for a second. He started to shout to his pals but didn't get the chance.
Lindsey grabbed him round the neck and knocked him down. He jumped at Lindsey with a knife in the hand. He grabbed her and held the knife to his throat. Then he heard the sirens outside.
In a moment of panic Adrian shoved Lindsey to the ground and then turned to aim his weapon at Marina.
Two more shots rang out as Adrian's body jerked backwards and he flew to the ground. His dead eyes stared up at the roof. Lindsey turned to see that both the policemen had fired their weapons at Adrian.
"We need to find Will," said Lindsey as she dashed down the stairs from where he had heard Adrian and Jack arguing. "Call an ambulance," she yelled as he ran down the corridor.
