---
The moment Elizabeth leaned in to kiss Jack, she knew she had done something wrong. She didn't know if she did it to trick him or because she wanted to. Either way, Jack Sparrow met his doom and he was gone.
The crew that survived were all in Tia Dalma's small hut, mourning the loss of their captain. Elizabeth knew not why she cried. Was it because Jack was gone? Was it because she betrayed Will? She questioned herself over and over again. "Jus' talk to him, Miss Elizabeth." The tear-stricken face of Elizabeth Swann looked up to see Mr. Gibbs.
Her eyes shone in confusion. But she didn't question him; how he knew what she was thinking. A meek smile flashed his way and she got up from her spot on the stool she was sitting on. Cautiously, she walked up to Will. Afraid of what he would say. Afraid of the truth. Afraid of rejection.
She put her hand on his shoulder lightly. He turned around, stunned to see Elizabeth. "Miss Swann..", he whispered.
Those words cut through her heart like a knife. He hadn't called her that in forever. "Will..", her voice cracked. She didn't know what to say! There was a moment of silence. Elizabeth debating on what to tell Will and he still feeling betrayal, hurt, and sorrow.
"I'm sorry, Will. I didn't mean to hurt you..", she trailed off.
Will couldn't take this anymore. Instead he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "Promise me, Elizabeth. Promise me you won't ever hurt me like that again.", he whispered into her hair.
"I promise."
