He had everything.... a beautiful house, a great job, money that would last for the rest of his life and a wonderful, beautiful wife - Elizabeth. The one thing he didn't have was the one thing he needed most...happiness. He didn't understand! He had everything he ever could have wanted.......why wasn't he happy?

As Will sat at the beach basking in the warm sun, he thought about his life. What was wrong with it?

'Well,' He thought running the sand through his fingers. 'I don't get to be out at sea as much as I want. Elizabeth worries about any harm coming to me...I guess that's why. I hate to omit it but once I found out that I had the blood of a Pirate, the sea has been calling me. Like if it was saying "Come to me William". Of course that is impossible! The sea just doesn't call out to people. I must be going crazy!'

But Will just couldn't sake the feeling that the sea was calling him – calling him home.

He shook his head and walked off in the direction of his house.

"Oh Will your home! How was your day dear?" Elizabeth asked giving Will a quick kiss.

Will didn't respond - he was in his own little world, lost in a sea of questions and second guessing.

"Will? Will are you even listening to me?" She asked offended.

"Hm?" Will mumbled, snapping out of his dream world. "Sorry Elizabeth. My day was fine and yours?"

As Elizabeth sat rambling on about her day Will sat thinking. Not even caring of what she spoke of. He knew it was wrong to do that, to ignore your wife like that but he couldn't help it.

"Elizabeth I'm sorry. I am not feeling well, I think I should retire for the night," Will sighed standing up, head in hands.

"Oh. Are you sure? What about dinner," She asked suddenly concerned for Will's behavior.

"I'm not really that hungry. I hope you weren't going to go through to much trouble for me," He said.

"Oh no, not at all! Do you want a doctor to come and look at you?" Elizabeth asked leading Will to the bedroom.

"No, it's not that serious. Probably a one day thing you know?" He said shooing her out of the room. Right now he needed to be alone and think.

Will didn't know what he was going to do, he knew he was not happy here, he knew he needed to leave. Where would he go? What would he say to Elizabeth? Oh god, she would be broken hearted. He did love her, he knew he did.

As Will thought, he came to a realization. Yes, he did love Elizabeth but as a sister and a close friend, he had mistaken his love for her. Yes, he would die for her but he would also die for Jack, his best friend in the world.

'Jack! I could stay with Jack, and sail on his ship! But how will I find him, he could be anywhere...I know I can not stay with Elizabeth any longer, the longer I stay, the harder it will be her when I leave. Where shale I stay until I find Jack?' Will slumped back into his bed, grasping onto his pillow as one would a life line. He was lost and confused; the only thing he knew was that he had to leave, before he was absorbed in darkness.

Will awoke to sun burning his eyes; he groaned and got out of bed, packing his things. He heard a knock and turned his head and looked straight into the eyes of his wife.

"Will! I was wonder..." She looked at the bag in his hands. "Will what are you doing?"

"Elizabeth, I'm leaving," His looked down shamefully, "Forever... I'm sorry."

"Will?" Tears started to form in her eyes. "What are you talking about? You're coming back...right?"

"No, I don't love you like a husband should." Will picked up his bag from the floor and headed towards the door. As he passed Elizabeth she grasped his arm tightly.

"You said you loved me, you said you would never leave me!" Elizabeth was trying to hold it together. As the tears freely flowed form her eyes, she tried her best not to fall down into a heap on the floor and weep like there was no tomorrow.

"I do love you, as a best friend and a sister," Tears threatened to seep from Will eyes as well, he couldn't take causing Elizabeth so much pain.

"How could you do this to me, you bastard!" She screamed, throwing all her pain and sorrow into one slap, that when reached his face, created a sickening sound.

Will placed his hand on the mark that was already starting to form on his face, "I am so sorry Elizabeth. I can only hope that one day you will forgive me and we can have our friendship re-built,"

"Just leave and never come back!"

And with that Will left, a single tear fell form his face as to symbolize the life as he knew it, slipping away from him.

If he would have looked back, he would have seen Elizabeth falling to the ground, with the tears flowing as she pounded the ground. She wanted to know why this was happening to her, she didn't understand. She would stay like that for the rest of the day with blood pouring from her torn and battered hands.
