"May I ask what happened?" I asked as Ana walked through the door, looking all angry and flustered. She kicked off her boots and they violently hit the wall with great impact. "…or I'll just sleep."

"That'd be a smart decision." She murmured getting onto the bed. I impatiently sighed and turned over.

"What happened?" She looked at me, and smiled.

"Jack happened." I turned over angrily, and closed my eyes.

"Smartass."

"LUV! Watch where yer going?" Jack shouted rubbing his shoulder. Rolling my eyes, I walked away. He had to be the most infuriating person I'd ever met. He acted as if the whole world revolved around him and him only. He was conceited, self centered and… "Thanks fer saying sorry, I really appreciate tha'." sarcastic.

"It was an accident. Accidents DO happen you know." I snapped. He stared at me, you know, in that weird way like he was trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with you. "Something wrong Captain?"

"Nothing at all." He said clenching his teeth together. "GIBBS." He shouted running down the stairs. I closed my eyes, and went down below. I couldn't STAND him. He was fine the other days but now, he was just an arrogant git. Like all the other men. I stopped, and looked around.

"Where am I?" I asked myself. This part of the ship was unfamiliar to me, it looked as thought it were….nicer. There was a door at the end of the hall, and my curiosity got the better of me. I went over and opened it to find myself in Jack's room. I also found myself looking at a large amount of full rum bottles on his desk and Ana, lying drunk, on the floor.

"ELLO YOU." She shouted. I closed the door and looked at her. She was hopeless. "Wouldja like some?" She asked offering me a bottle. I accepted it and wrinkled me nose. I was never too fond of this stuff; I called it the Devil's drink. All it did was turn even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. I opened it, sniffed it, then drank some. My eyes watered and I coughed uncontrollably. It burnt so much as it slid down my throat. However, the taste was splendid. I drank more and more and soon I had joined Ana on the floor, drunk.

"Okay, no. Now…will you quit laughin' mate and gimme yer left hand…yer other one ye goof." Ana giggled. "Now, punch me arm." I swung, and missed. Ana snorted then burst out laughing. She moved towards the door and tried not to laugh. "PUNCH ME…"

"OKAY." I swung, Ana ducked and I hit someone. "JACK! I'm so sorry." I looked at Ana. "Actually, I'm not." We both laughed and Jack stood up.

"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YE TWO DOING DOWN HERE! I NEED YER…" His eyes fell to the floor and he gasped. "ME RUM!"

"About tha'…" Ana began. "Ye see Jack…"

"Luv…I'll kill ye." I looked at him and staggered over to him.

"You know what, you're all talk." I yelled in his face and then giggled as he cringed at my breath. He looked at me, very agitated, and whispered venomously.

"Ye think so?" I looked back, growing pissed off.

"I know so." Jack raised his hand, and I looked away but nothing came down. I looked up and saw his hand was still in the air. Confidently, I spat. "Do it." He brought his hand down, but no where near me.

"I've never hit a woman, and I don't intend on starting." He said quietly, pushing me out of the room forcefully. "But next time ye drink all me rum…I won't hesitate ta throw ye overboard."

"Hey! She started it." I said pointing at Ana who was stumbling down the hall.

"Do I care?" Jack asked and slammed the door in my face. I stood there stunned and opened the door. He looked at me. "NO ONE SLAMS THE DOOR IN MY FACE." I said slamming it shut and walking, to the best of my abilities, down the hall. Ana was on the floor, snoring.

"Get up." I said calmly, my stomach was beginning to hurt. "GET UP." I shouted, kicking her lightly. She pushed my feet away and turned over.

"Oh God…SPARROW." No answer. "Don't ignore me you asshole." Jack poked his head out and narrowed his eyes.

"What the fuck do ye want?"

"Help me with Ana?" I asked pushing my hair out of my face. Jack didn't move. "Jack please. I don't feel well." He sighed and walked over.

"Here." He said, helping me up and picking up Ana. We walked in silence to Ana's cabin and he dropped her on the bed. "Happy luv…luv?" I couldn't hear him, I couldn't breath well and my stomach hurt like a thousand knives were stabbing me in the stomach. I ran over to the basin and threw up in it. I felt someone pull my hair up and put there hand on my back. I wiped my mouth in disgust and looked up. "That's what ye get fer drinking me rum lass." He left the room, but came back with some water.

"Thank you." He nodded, and left the room. "Dammit." He can go from mean to nice in minutes. Sighing, and feeling nauseous again, I laid down in bed and fell asleep.

I awoke in the middle of the night with a sense that something was wrong. Suddenly, there was a loud crash and I was thrown off the bed, across the floor straight into a wall. Thunder boomed, the sea roared and hit the ship in a violent way. A storm. Great. Just what we needed. I brushed my pants off, and made my way up to the deck. The thunder did not help my hangover at all. I squinted trying to see through the heavy rain. I made out a figure running across the deck and then plummeting overboard. My eyes widened.

"LUV!" I turned around and Jack was standing inches away from me. "What are ye doing on board!" He screamed. I cringed and put my hand to my head. Jack smirked.

"Keep it down! I heard noises, so I came up to see if I could be any help." I smiled weakly. Jack studied me for a moment.

"Follow me." He said, grabbing my wrist and pulling me up the stairs and to the helm. "Steer." He said.

"Are you asking for a death wish?" I shouted. I cringed, again, and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes, and Jacks lips were near my ears. His breathing I could feel was hot on my neck.

"I trust ye." He said. He got up, pointed at me, and then walked away. I sighed and turned around.

"What a strange little man." I grabbed a hold of the wheel and began doing my best. I wasn't to well informed of ships. Some of the pirates, back home, taught me how to do some things, not many, but a few. I wasn't great with a sword but I was the best gun shooter you would ever have the pleasure of meeting. I began to think about what Jack had said a week back"Why didn't ye become a pirate?" I couldn't tell him why I didn't want to. What my mother would do. What she would say. Ever since my father died, she's been negative towards pirates. If she finds out that I've run off with them, I don't know what I'll do.

"LUV! Yer slackin!" I shot him a dirty look and he disappeared into the rainfall. Slowly, the rain fell into a gentle mist and the ship stopped rocking. I smiled, proud at my steering work. "Britt, before ye catch something, let's get those wet clothes off ye."

"I can do that on my own you know!" I shouted, walking down the stairs. Jack smiled staring at the white shirt that had grown quite exposing. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. Jack followed very close behind. I stood aside as he opened his door, walking through the pile of clothes, rum bottles and other random objects, and fished through a pile of clothes on his desk. He threw a pair of breeches and a shirt at my face and smiled.

"Strip." I looked at him in disbelief. He just smiled back. I walked out of the room and down the hall. "LUV! I meant in here." I ignored him and opened tried to open Ana's door but it was locked. I shrugged and knocked on Will and Elizabeth's door. No one answered so I peered inside, sure enough, no one was in there. I stepped inside and began to take my clothes off. I wrinkled my nose and threw them in a corner. Suddenly, the door burst open and Will walked in. I screamed and he stopped, widening his eyes. He snapped them shut and tried to walk out but managed to walk into the doorframe and knock himself out. I quickly, and when I say quickly I mean VERY quickly, put my clothes on and rushed to his side. Jack was shouting a stream of curses.

"Fucking rope." He muttered opening his door and running down the hallway. "What happened to him?"

"He ran into the doorframe." Jack shook his head and began to pick him up.

"Ye know he'd be an even better pirate if he wasn't so bloody clumsy." I laughed, and picked up Wills feet. There was a quiet moan that escaped Will's lips and we set him on the bed. "Ye best find Elizabeth and tell her what happened." I nodded, and got up to find her. "Try tha' galley." Following his instructions, I walked into the galley and sure enough, Liz was in there. She was playing with Leanne. She smiled and looked up.

"Brittnni! Come sit with me." She said patting the spot next to her. I smiled and sat down.

"Listen, you might wanna leave Leanne with me." She looked at my puzzled. "Your husband managed to run into a doorframe and is out cold on your bed." She shook her head.

"Could you watch Leanne for me?" I smiled and nodded. She got up, and ran out of the galley. The little girl sat across from me, her arms folded over her chest and she was staring at the food in front of her.

"Aren't you supposed to eat that?" I asked pointing to her food. She shook her head violently. "Are you sure?"

"ICK!" She screamed pushing it towards me and turning her head to the side and sticking her little nose in the air. Takes after her mother I thought. I pushed it back and she violently shoved it towards me spilling some on the table. I looked at them and saw that the table was clean so I bet over and grabbed one up with my tongue. She looked at me and laughed. I smiled.

"You try." She bent over and licked a piece of the food and it stuck to her tongue. She started clapping and I laughed. After she was finished, she began to show me her dress. "That's very pretty." She smiled. The galley door burst open and hit the wall with a violent bang. I looked up and saw Jack, fuming.

"What happened?" I asked in a scared tone.

"HE…got knocked out cause he saw YE naked! THE WHELP SAW YE NAKED AND I DIDN'T?" He looked at me, awaiting an answer.

"You're joking right?" I asked assuming it was all a joke. He shook his head no. Leanne grabbed my leg and whimpered. Jack must be scaring her. I picked her up and looked at Jack.

"It was purely accidental. I was going to change but Ana's cabin was locked, so I went into the Turners and no one was there and Will just happened to walk in at the wrong time." Jack sat there, cooling down his face all flushed. "Why on earth would you get mad at something like that!" I added.

"I wasn't mad luv! Ye think that ye naked is something I want to see." He asked, putting his chin on his palm and leaning on the table with his elbow.

"From the looks of it…" I got up and walked beside Jack. "Yes." I knocked his hand down and his chin hit the table with a thud.

"Bloody wench."

The night air was cold on the ship tonight. I conjured up the idea that it was obviously because of the water. I sighed and looked at the water. Too many things were running through my head right now. Things I didn't want to think about, things II'd rather forget. I shook my head trying to get the images out of my head, the most awful night of my life. I was sworn not to say anything, anything at all or the consequences would be dire. A hand touched my shoulder and I jumped.

"Sorry luv." Jack whispered. I nodded, forgiving him. I looked back at the sea and just tried to drift away in the hope that Jack wouldn't talk. My hopes were shattered. "How are ye?"

"Good and you?" I asked politely.

"Good." We sat there in a few minutes of silence. "Luv, I was watching ye for a while. Ye seemed disturbed."

"I'm fine. Really." I said, walking to the other side of the ship trying to avoid him. I managed for a while but no matter what I did, I couldn't avoid his gaze. He came up beside me and I sighed and turned away.

"Ye don't look okay."

"Why are you suddenly all worried about me?" I snapped turning around. Jack's soft eyes became harder and dark.

"Is NO ONE allowed ta worry about ye? Are ye to good for everyone?" I let out an impatient sigh and turned around but Jack grabbed my shoulders and pushed me against the wall. "Answer me."

"I didn't say that now did I!" Jack loosened his grip and I shook my shoulder violently and his hands dropped to my waist.

"Ye can talk ta me ye know." I nodded.

"You've been saying that to me since I came aboard. I have trust issues, what else can I say?" I smiled. Jack smiled meakly and looked down. "It's not that I don't trust you Jack. I just have a lot of things I like to keep to myself."

"Like yer father." Jack looked up and smiled. "Quiet soul he was. Never yelled at someone, unless they deserved it. Yer like him in many ways ye know." He looked up at me. "It's a shame I got ta spend more time with him then ye." I smiled at his sincere thoughts.

"I would give anything just to see him for one day." I whispered as tears formed in my eyes. I felt an arm go around my waist and I didn't resist. I turned around and sobbed into Jack's corner. I missed my father so much and I'd never even met him.

Omg. Yes yes yes. I know. TOOK YOU FUCKING LONG ENOUGH. Im sorry, ive been SO DAMN BRAIN DEAD. Even in school, I haven't been able to write anything lately.

Jack: It's only cause yer stupid.

Me: o Thanks a lot asshole. Maybe I'll kill you off in a few chapters.

Jack: Did I ever mention how much I love you?

Me: That's better.
