A/N: Well this is not the last chapter after all. I might make one more chapter. Kind of like Jack's final thoughts. For those of you who don't like to cry I would not recommend reading this chapter. It's rather sad. Ah who am I kidding please read it!

Alex's head fell backwards and her arms went limp in his hands. Jack gently shook her.
"Alex! Alex! Please get up Alex! Don't do this to me love!"
She didn't move. Her skin went white as a sheet and she was cold, very, very cold. Jack closed his eyes tightly and felt a few tears drip down his cheeks and onto his braided beard. One thing he had never done in his life…cry. He was dead, his love was dead. Jack brushed away the tears from his beard and laid Alex's body down gently below the cursed treasure chest. Then, using her lifeless hand, he dipped her hand into the chest and used it to grab a piece of the gold, the one that had her blood on it. Her father's gold. He closed her hand around the gold and then brought the gold to her chest. He crossed her arms together and put the pistol beside her. Now she had a piece of him and a piece of her father to take with her into the afterlife. Jack stood up and began walking towards the exit. Will and Elizabeth were frozen to the spot, Elizabeth quietly sobbing against Will's broad chest. Will just stood there, staring into the abyss, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
"I'd be much obliged if you could drop me off at my ship." Jack whispered quietly just loud enough for Will to hear him.
As if he spoke any louder it would disturb this now a graveyard. He sighed and walked out and sat in the rowboat waiting for Elizabeth and Will. He couldn't believe she was dead. He was going to miss her beautiful smile, her cute laugh, and her miraculous eyes. She was so tender and sweet, and then she was wrenched from his life like a sword from his sword holder. Will and Elizabeth soon joined him in the rowboat and they slowly rowed back to the Dauntless. Jack was at the gallows when they arrived in the early morning. He stood there with a sad expression on his face as the man read off a list of his crimes and blah, blah, blah.
The noose was placed around his neck.
Well at least I'll be seeing Alex very soon. He thought to himself.
The floor suddenly dropped underneath his feet and Will threw his sword. Jack stood on it on the tips of his toes trying to balance out. Will cut the rope around his neck and they took off running. They ran and fought side by side until the Navy caught up with them. As Will stood up for him Elizabeth joined the battle. Jack spotted Mr. Cotton's parrot and sighed.
He stepped towards the ledge and turned to the Navy.
"Friends! This is the day that you will always remember as they day that…" But he never finished his sentence.
Jack tumbled over the side and smashed into the water. He broke the surface and heard Gibbs call out to him. The Black Pearl was in clear sight. He swam over to the ship and was tossed down a rope. The crew hauled him aboard and Gibbs helped him to his feet.
"The Black Pearl is yours." Gibbs said.
Jack rubbed the wheel of the ship. He commanded the crew to get to work and they obediently obeyed.
"Now, bring me that horizon." He said pulling out his compass and humming "A Pirates Life For Me".
"And really bad eggs." Jack said and turned the wheel.
"Drink up me hearties yo ho." He sang quietly and closed the compass.
His thoughts went back to Alex one more time and he sailed away from Port Royal.
Alex…
Alex…
Alex…
A/N: Well that's all for now. Let me know if I should put up another chapter on Jack's other feelings.
