DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"How is she?" Emily asked William as she hooked her arm in his.

"I don't know, I think she is ok."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I couldn't see her. I couldn't…I didn't want to be mad at her."

Adam and William had left the Crusade, things had just gone bad. Jack limited who saw Eve, and that mad everyone angry. Today though, while Jack was in town, Jon would sneak in and check on her.

As Jon opened the door, he saw Eve sleeping in bed, her white chemise and her honey hair spread out over the pillow, made her look as if she was an angel. Jon crossed the room and sat on the bed, just looking at her.

Eve jumped at the touch of Jon, and sat up in bed. "Sorry."

"What are you doing here?" Eve asked startled.

"I was worried about you." Jon then grabbed her hand. "Eve, I'm sorry."

"Jon, I can't do this right now." Eve stared into Jon's eyes…they were different…

"When would be the best time for you? Jack has you locked in here like a prisoner." Jon was annoyed.

"Jon, I am not well, why can't you just wait until I'm better again."

"Because if we let this go…we need to talk Eve." Jon looked at her with sympathetic eyes.

"Jon, I need you to leave." Eve said as she took her hand back.

"Why?"

"Because I am just so angry with you, the sight of you makes my blood boil! You don't trust me! You think I am some whore! What am I supposed to do? Sit here like the dutiful wife and take your empty words!"

"Eve…" Jon started, but Eve didn't let him finish.

"There is no doubt in my mind that we need to talk, but I am in no mood or condition to argue with you." Eve then got up from bed. "I just can't right now." Eve then headed for the door. As her hand reached the handle Jon's arm held the door shut.

"We need to talk, you can't keep running. You can't always count on Jack." Eve's eyes then narrowed.

"Fine you want to talk, then talk." She crossed the room and sat on the bed.

"Eve, I'm sorry, I never should have not trusted you. I was wrong."

"Is that it?"

"Well, what else do you want me to say?"

"Speak from your heart Jon, not from your head." Eve was sick and tired with lame apologies.

Jon then closed his eyes. "Eve I love you with all my heart, and I just want you to know that I will always love you, even if you don't. I just want to move on and let this go…" Eve then stopped him.

"Is that what you think?" Eve looked at him in the eyes. "That I don't love you…" Eve then got up from the bed. "Jon, I always loved you. Just because I am angry with you, doesn't mean I don't love you. Jon, we are in a rough spot, but nothing that we cannot work through, we've been through worse." Eve then placed her hand on his cheek, "I love you."

Jon then took her hand and kissed it. "I love you." Eve then wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him, something was wrong…incredibly wrong. She felt it in his kiss, in his embrace, and in his 'apology'.

A few hours had passed and Eve was beginning to dress, just to get back into the routine.

"What are you doing up and out of bed?" Jack asked as he opened the door.

"I'm sick of lying in bed, I feel fine." Eve managed to say.

"What did Jon say?"

"Well, he said…wait how did you know?" Eve said stopping, Jack should have had no clue Jon was here.

"Because I know my son, and once I was off this ship, he would have found that as the opportune moment to talk to you. So what did he say?" Eve then told him what happened. "And you forgave him?"

"I guess."

"You sound unsure."

"Well, what he said was unforgivable. He should have taken care of me, helped me…instead of trying to knock me down." Eve then sat on the bed to tug on her boots.

"Have you told him you still intend on helping Gabe?" Jack said with a raised brow.

"No. If he doesn't agree, then that's too bad for him, because I do not intend on going back on my word, I said I would help Gabriel, and I will." Eve then stood up. "Jack, I have to get back in the swing of things." Eve said as she noted Jack's concerned face.

"I'll be keeping my eye on you." Jack gave her a wink as he headed out the door. Eve then turned back in the room and looked around, making sure she didn't forget anything.

As Eve climbed the steps she finally felt normal again, getting back to her normal chores. Eve grabbed a bucket and a mop and began to wash down the deck.

"I like to see my face in the deck when it's clean." Will said as he watched is daughter, Elizabeth stood beside him.

"You can pitch in you know." Eve said with a smile.

"I'm surprised Jack let you out of prison this early." Elizabeth said.

"I bribed the guard. Besides, I feel fine."

"You went through something traumatic, maybe it's a bit too soon." Elizabeth said with concern.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Eve then glanced around the deck. "Where is William? I don't see Adam or even Laura, I figured…" Eve stopped when she saw the look in her parents faces. "I scared them away, didn't I?" Eve then pushed the bucket and mop against the railing. "I should have figured…umm…I'm going to run into town, I'll be back, I swear." Eve then pushed pass her parents and walked into the city.
