This Is Why

Disclaimer: I don't own POTC! Though it would make me happy too! I don't own Why by Avril Lavigne…though I do own a cat… mwhaha..

A/N: Last chapter! Well my computer is down and I'm at my dad's house so I decided to just go on and rewrite the chapter even though I don't remember what I had…so just write another ending. I have also decided to write a story that explains how Sarah and Jack actually met and their past. Should be interesting enough, I shall hope it is. I'm going to take off Affairs of the High Sea's and make that one an adventure with Jack and Sarah. Once again thank you to you all for reviewing my story! It meant a lot to me and actually kept me going with this story. This is really hard for me to do, considering I don't continue a lot of my stories! I should be hung for that lol! But thank you all! Now go read!

Sarah lay in her bed, staring at the dark ceiling above her; she couldn't help but notice that Jack had actually said he loved her tonight. Usually it was a mutter or a mumble when he said it to her except when he first told it to her. She was going to leave him for another man named Duncan Monahan who had one her heart. She remembered the day like it was yesterday she was young and naïve to believe Duncan ever wanted to be with her, all he wanted was money, which she knew exactly where she could get gold. Kings gold.

Duncan promised her the world, promised to love her the way she should be loved. The way Captain Jack Sparrow couldn't love her, and infact he was the only one who ever did. Duncan made her believe she needed to leave Jack in order to fulfill her duties as a Pirate and a woman. But once she looked into Jack's eyes she knew she couldn't leave him, she knew she didn't love Duncan, her heart was with Jack. It always had been and she had been so foolish as to think she could leave him.

Jack spent a long time trying to tell her the exact words 'I love you'. It was hard but after a while he finally confessed it. She told him how she felt too, it was a beautiful moment they shared but now it was all over.

Sarah Harris turned in her sleep looking at the door to her cabin she sort of hopped Jack would barge into her room and make her listen to him. Make her love him. She stared for a long time, then gave up on the idea that he would ever come back into her life. She cursed her self out loud.

"Shouldn't I be mad at him?" she wondered out loud. She sat up in bed; the window that was opened let the wind blow in.

"Yes I should be" she decided finally. "But if I did love him then it wouldn't matter would it?"

Sarah got up from her bed, grabbed the coat off her chair. I should go to him, she thought, but I need a reason. She looked around the room, she needed something to bring to him, something that was his. She pulled the coat closer to her body.

"The coat is his" she said. "I'll bring it back."

He had given it to her on the night they had separated to go on their own ships. She was wet and cold and needed warmth, she had never had the chance to give it back to him. Now more than ever, she needed to give it back.

Sarah rushed past James and Henry.

"Watch the ship!" she called out.

They muttered some blasphemies. Sarah didn't care right then, all she could think about was Jack. Her heart raced as she ran to his ship. The ship was beautiful, just calm in the ocean. She ran aboard a few of Jack's crew were still awake watching the ship. They nodded to her, taking off their hats as she passed.

"Captain" Sarah heard someone say from the door way to Jack's room.

"Someone's here to see you."

Jack said something but Sarah couldn't hear him until she got to the door.

"Tell them I'm not in the mood right now mate" Jack ordered.

"Would you be in the mood if it was me?" Sarah asked her eyes on the door.

The door swung open to reveal a bare chested Jack. Her eyes traveled up to his face. Her dark blue eyes were on the verge of tears.

"What?" he snapped harshly then regretted it when she took a step back.

He had been so shocked when he saw her; he couldn't understand what she wanted. He noticed that her eyes seemed swollen and red, he guessed from crying.

She took off the coat from around her and handed it to him.

"I just needed to give you it" she said her eyes looking into his. She stepped toward him closing off the space.

"I don't know why but I can't leave without telling you. I love you Jack, I can't stay mad at you no matter how hard I try."

He brought his hand to cup her face. The coat dropped to his feet and he stepped over to get to Sarah.

"That's good, love. I can't live without you" he pulled her to him. "I'll never hurt you again."

"I know Jack."

He brought his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck, his hands on her hips bringing her a little bit closer than what she was already.

And in time everything was going to be the same.
