DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Elizabeth…" James walked in the room, and sat down on the bed.

"I really don't feel like talking to you."

"Elizabeth, I need to tell you something. I never intended to marry you unless you wanted to, I would never take you away from Will, or from Jack. I want to see you happy, that is all."

"How can I ever trust you? I saw the notice offering a reward for me, and I heard Taylor. You want me as your wife, and you and my father have been planning. How do I know that it wasn't you who destroyed Will's ship?" Elizabeth said angrily.

"Elizabeth, I am many things but I am not a murderer, and for you to even think that shocks me. I shall not marry you, I will only marry you if you'll have me." James said holding her hand.

"What is to become of Jack?" Elizabeth asked.

"When he comes to Port Royal he will be hanged, there is nothing I can do about that, he committed the crimes, and will suffer the consequences." Elizabeth looked away from him.

"Can you please leave? I want to be alone." Elizabeth said, not looking at him.

"As you wish, but please Elizabeth, do not hate me." James then walked out of the room.

Elizabeth shifted in bed, she was sore and tired, yet she could not sleep. Thoughts of Jack filled her mind, she loved him so much, but he wanted nothing to do with her, perhaps she was just another on of his infamous wenches, she was used, she felt used. 'He is not getting off the hook that easy!' Elizabeth swung her feet off the bed, put on a shirt and marched downstairs to the brig.

"Jack!" Elizabeth said angrily.

"Elizabeth you shouldn't be here, you should be resting!"

"No, this is not finished! You will not get off the hook that easy! Do you love me or am I another one of those wenches of yours?!" Elizabeth said, the wound had opened, and she grabbed her shoulder.

"Elizabeth…" Jack paused, this was going to hurt her, as well as him, "…I would have said anything to get in yer pants…whisper a few sweet nothings…and you fell for it lass…the Sparrow charm…gets the wenches every time…" The were inches away from each other, only the cell bars separated them, Elizabeth reached through the bars and slapped him across the face.

"You are nothing but a lying, pathetic excuse for a man! No honor Jack, you have nothing, no one to love, no one to trust, you have your ship, nothing else! I just hope the rest of your miserable time you spend on this earth, you think about how you destroyed the lives, yes lives, of the only two people you could ever count on!" Elizabeth then gave him one more disgusted look, and ran back upstairs past the Commodore. James quickly went after her.

"Elizabeth…what happened?"

"He said he never loved me…" James was a bit surprised. "Why does every man that I love leave me, whether it's one way or another…" Elizabeth then felt weak, and was caught by the Commodore, who noticed her wound had opened up once again.

"Call for the doctor again." James told Gillette. James then carried Elizabeth to his cabin and put her in bed.

"Elizabeth, I will never leave you…" He said before the doctor came in and took over.

That was the truth, James had no intentions of ever leaving her, he loved her, but she did not return his love, so he would stand by her no matter what, because of the simple fact that he did love her.
