Looking over to the wall next to their cabin, Elizabeth felt her heart sink. There was the first man she ever loved dead, slumped against the wall pinned by his own sword, which had no doubt been put there by the man she now loved.
"Jack, how could you?"
"Love, technically I didn't, and he wanted it. As he died he thanked me and said I had always been."
"Been what?"
"I don't know, but don't hate me."
"How can I not hate you, let alone love you."
"Here's the boy, take your old cabin back. And do me a favor, don't come out, Gibbs will bring you your food."
Watching her walk away Jack felt his heart break, and he knew what he had to do. Telling Gibbs to take the helm and make sure Elizabeth and Turner had food, he made his way to his cabin and his secret stash of rum. For the next week Jack stayed in his room drunk off his ass, while Elizabeth stayed in her room trying to explain everything to Turner. One day Jack found that the rum no longer killed the pain, and the only way to not think about her was to sleep, so he spent most of his days and nights sleeping in his pitch black cabin. After spending close to a month locked in her cabin Elizabeth finally snuck out in the middle of the night, running straight into Gibbs.
"I know the Captain said for me to stay in my cabin but I needed to get out for a few, he isn't due any time soon is he?"
"M'am to be frank the Captain hasn't been out of his cabin since he sent you to yours."
"What do you mean?"
"You hurt him, he did this for you, and you got mad at him for it. As you said Miss Elizabeth he is a good man, goodnight."
"Yes, goodnight Gibbs."
As he walked away she knew what she had to do, and as she strode towards Jack's cabin she knew she had been wrong but now she was going to make it all better.
