Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while...I was completely lost with this chapter... Every time I tried to write it, it never turned out right. So, in order for it to work, I had to write it from Lizzy's point of view! Hopefully it turned out ok... There's really not much to it. I had already planned on writing a chapter from her voice, but I didn't think I would need to so soon! Please read and review! I hope all of you like it!!! I Need Him
Elizabeth stood to her feet within seconds of hearing Will's deep voice. She had forgotten how much she missed that voice; she always felt safe when she heard that voice.
"Will!?" she exclaimed.
Jack whirled around, staring at Elizabeth in shock. She looked down at her feet, feeling ashamed. I'm over Will, right? she thought to herself, her heart beating fast and hard in her chest. I can't hurt Jack. But, Will… she sighed.
"Elizabeth, why are you with Jack?" Will asked. Lizzy glanced up and instantly had to look down; cold hate rested in fury within Will's once warm eyes.
"You don't have to say anything to him, love." Jack whispered, his voice full of concern.
Elizabeth looked up into Jack's brown eyes, seeing the affection they held. Tears began to form in her eyes. I love Jack. I love him, but what about Will?
"Elizabeth, what's going on?" Will asked, slight concern filling his voice. It wasn't enough.
"I'm staying with Jack, Will." she murmured.
"What?"
She took a deep breath and stood a little straighter, confidence filling up within her. "I'm staying with Jack." she said with more power in her voice.
"Why would you do something like that?" he asked in disgust.
She walked up to the bars of the brig, standing inches away from Jack. "I've made a choice." she said simply.
"A choice?" he asked, the anger and hate in his eyes flooding over his face, causing every expression to twist unattractively.
"Yes, I choose Jack."
Out of the corner of her eyes, Elizabeth could see Jack smiling with triumph. She blushed at the thought of making him happy.
"You choose a pirate?" Will asked, his voice rising to almost a shout.
"Yes."
Silence fell between them as William looked from Jack to Lizzy, shock replacing every other emotion. Elizabeth stepped a little closer to Jack and slipped her hand into his, and he squeezed it gently.
"You're coming with me, Lizzy." Will said suddenly, pulling a key out of his pocket. He unlocked the brig and opened the door. With one swift motion, he grabbed Lizzy's arm and began to pull her out. She tightened her grip on Jack's hand and he too held with all his strength. But Will would not stop pulling her out. After a few minutes of struggling, Lizzy looked Jack in the eyes and nodded her head, tears finally spilling over her lashes and down her sun burnt cheeks.
"Let me go, Jack." she mouthed the words and he nodded sadly as he loosened his grip.
"There now." Will said, his lips spreading into a smile. "We need to talk."
With one last glance toward Jack's tormented face as Will locked the brig, Elizabeth realized just how much she loved Jack. I need him. I need him.
