Author's Note: I know, I know, it's late, but I had a huge amount of homework at the beginning of the week, and once I had that done, it took a while for inspiration to hit. But it's here. And it's worth it. howlongmustiwait asked in her review how long it would be until Elizabeth broke things off with Will officially. Well, I like to drag things out and make you guys scream and pull your hair out. But don't worry. It's here. And Jack's quote at the end is in italics. Elizabeth never heard him say that, so she isn't thinking it. It just worked. So it put it there.

"Mister Gibbs! Worlds End is upon us! Steady as she goes!"

Elizabeth was currently shouting orders to anyone who would listen. A good few of the crewmen had been lured from below deck at her yells. They gathered around the rail, searching the horizon, and Elizabeth couldn't help but roll her eyes when all but one couldn't spot it. It was Ragetti, who only had one eye, who ended up seeing it.

So once they were on their way, Elizabeth sank back into her thinking daze. She knew that she had to break off the engagement with Will, even though it had only been a few hours since she had last talked to him. There was only one way that she could get him. Cornering.

Will wasn't on deck, so Elizabeth slipped below deck unnoticed. She tiptoed around-surely Will was here somewhere? Silence was essential-she didn't want to scare him off.

'Come on, come on, come on…' She was impatiently reciting in her mind. She flattened herself against a wall- was he in the corner? –She peeked. No sign of him. Disappointment flitted across her features for a moment, until she swung around.

And promptly screamed.

There Will was, grinning at her. Elizabeth closed her eyes for a moment as the shock wore off, and then opened them. He hadn't moved.

The sneer was still there, but she noticed that that is was a rather cold smile-it didn't reach his eyes, and it looked somewhat forced. She began to wonder how she even fell in love with the man. Elizabeth took a small step backwards.

"Why did you do that?" She demanded.

He was still smirking at her.

"Why were you snooping around here?"

"I wasn't-"

"Then what were you doing?"

'Stay calm, Elizabeth. He's no match for you, you know that.' Her conscious took over.

"I was-I was looking for something!" Real smooth, Elizabeth.

"Oh, were you? Is that why you've been down here for the past five minutes? Tiptoeing around, instead of regular walking? I've been following you the entire time. It seems you're not the master creeper that you pretend to be. Now, let me guess-were you looking for me?"

His obnoxious demeanor infuriated her, but she contained the glare only in her eyes, displaying it to him in a meaningful way. Then she just decided to get it over with.

"Yes, I came down here looking for you." It was really very quiet.

"Why?" An icy tone.

"I needed to talk to you."

"So talk." He stood back and stared at her, sizing her up. Elizabeth was frustrated, but that didn't stop her from displaying her emotions-if anything, it fueled them.

"All right, fine-even thought I've told you nearly everything. I don't want this anymore, because you know I hate fighting with you and I know it seems insane, but-"

"Do you love me?"

The question caught her off guard. She hoped that she misheard him.

"What?"

"Do you love me?" Damn. She's heard correctly.

"What?" She didn't what else to do except to keep repeating herself.

"Elizabeth…it's just a question. Do you love me or not?"

She got defensive. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"It has everything to do with anything! Elizabeth, I need to now this now. Do you love me or not?" Will was close to her now, his hands gripping her shoulders.

"I-I-"

"Elizabeth." His voice was softer, "Please. Say it."

She remained silent. He removed his hands from her shoulders and looked at the ceiling. She found her voice.

"I can't, Will. I can't. I just can't do this anymore. I've just realized that being with you was a lie. I can't lie to myself any longer. I've loved you, Will; I have, but…but not anymore. Things have changed; people have changed. I've changed. We both have. I wanted to be married to you once. But I don't now. I am so, so, so sorry, and I hope that you can forgive me for this. I'm just so sorry."

Tears had already blurred her vision, and she didn't properly look at his facial expression. She didn't want to.

Elizabeth ran on deck, willing her tears to stop, but she couldn't. She sat down on a barrel and looked at her boots. She'd known that she needed to do it-for a while now, actually-but the reality of it had nearly broken her heart. And she knew it had broken his.

Elizabeth looked out at the horizon-the gap in the sky was now as big as her thumbnail. They were getting close.

'Now, bring me that horizon.'

A/N: See, there's the quote! I love it! Now here's the thing: I've run out of ideas. I know, right? It happens a lot. Here are some questions, whose answers I want you to put in your reviews:

1)Jack's and Elizabeth's reunion-What do you want to happen?

2)Jack said getting to Worlds End is 'not fun at all'. Any suggestions on how to convey that into the story?

That's all. Now, help a poor author out, and please review!!!
