Chapter 30
"JACK!" Mari called again but still no reply. Her voice was horse from the constant shouting. The wind had died down and only the rolling waves remained. There was little chance Jack had survived this long under water. She curled up on the driftwood and began humming as tears fell from her face once again.
"SEA TURTLE!" shouted a voice from beside her; almost sending her off the other side, but a strong hand caught hers and hoisted her back up.
"I don't need you going for a swim right now love." Jack said as he climbed up on the raft.
"This is a sea turtle we're sitting on here. How weird is that?" Jack asked. He looked at her and saw she was crying, his stomach lurched as he saw this. He did not like it, Mari crying. It wasn't right.
"What's with the waterworks, love?" he asked. Mari smiled slightly and stopped crying, and shook her head.
"Clueless," she muttered. "No reason, Jack. Just me being an idiot." As they came around a bend they saw the Pearl not too far off.
"I will have had enough swimming to last me a lifetime before this is all over. And I'd better not see you crying anymore or it's the brig for you." Jack said, half teasing, about the brig part anyway. He didn't like seeing her cry. They jumped off and swam to the Pearl.
"Hey! Gibbs, Will! Somebody hoist us up!" Mari shouted. Will looked over the rail and grinned. He quickly let a ladder down and they climbed up. Orion screeched and Mari was almost knocked backwards into Jack as Will grabbed her and practically squeeze the life out of her.
"Ok… can't breath… going to…die." Mari gasped.
Now is probably the most opportune moment, Jack thought. I must tell her now. But how? What should I do? Then he knew. He smiled and climbed the rest of the way up.
"Will, stop, you're choking her." Jack said walking around them to the middle of the deck. Will reluctantly released and Mari staggered back into Jack. He didn't wait for apologies, he turned her to face him and, in front of the entire crew and Sarah, he kissed her.
