A/N: sorry for such a long wait for this update.

Chapter 22

"Right then" Beckett repeated, and glanced at Rose at his side.

"Right then" Jack said mocking Beckett, pulling Elizabeth closer to him.

"Its seems that you are not in a place to be mocking me Sparrow" He motioned his guards to get Elizabeth off of Jack. And so they did, two guards walked to where Jack and Elizabeth sat and dragged Elizabeth off his lap, at first Jack grabbed hold of Elizabeth, but knew he couldn't win.

"What do you want from me" Jack said in a concerned voice moving his eyes from Elizabeth to Beckett, and Back again. Beckett glanced at Rose, then at Elizabeth, then glared at Jack "I want you hurt, so hurt you'd give your life to stop the pain"

"Dead basically" Jack said thinking of what he meant by hurt. Beckett stood up at started to walk around the table towards Jack.

"Ah, you see Jack, death would be the easy way out for you. I want you to suffer" Beckett blurted out in a spiteful manor, once he said that the guards took Elizabeth down to the brig of The Pearl. Jack watched her struggle as they took her below, not knowing whether he would see her gain. Jack eyes began to fill with tears, he had only just got Elizabeth back and yet he felt as though he had lost her forever. I can't show him I'm hurt, its what he would wants, I don't want him to know Elizabeth is a way to hurt me.

Beckett left the room, and left Rose in the room with Jack, alone.

"I can't remember how many times we've been left alone in this cabin Jack" Jack looked at her, then looked back at the door.

"I can't remember how many times I've said this to you; I don't care" Jack said as he got up and paced around the room, each time glancing at the door waiting for Elizabeth, thinking maybe this is all a dream.

"Jack, stop..." she followed him while he was pacing, trying to grab hold of him and stop him. "Jack stop it" he continued to pace. "JACK!" she shouted, Jack stopped, but wouldn't look at Rose.

Rose walked up to Jack and placed her hands on his shoulders, Jack was still looking down at the floor boards. "Jack, look at me" he didn't move. She tried several attempt to make Jack respond to her, but nothing, so eventually she decided to sit on a chair, and wait for Jack to come round.

All of a sudden Jack jolted, like a surge of energy came through him, he began to pace the room, but this time, more like upset, and agitated. Rose just looked at him and was actually confused, she had been close to Jack in the past, but she had never seen this side of him. She frowned as he started to mumble to himself.

"Its all a dream, just a dream" he mumbled, he turned and looked at the bed. "Just a dream, go to bed, and wake up, its just a dream" he got louder, and walked over to the bed, he lied on the bed and kicked his boots off, pulled the covers over him, and closed his eyes. The room was in complete silence for about a minute, then Jack opened his eyes.

"Bugger" he said. He quickly got out of bed and started to pace again, for once Jack didn't have a plan, he started to hit his head with his fist trying to think of a plan to get Elizabeth back.

"No, no, no, no, no, no,NO!" He repeated, his voice was shaky and he sounded very upset. rose was extremely shocked.

"Jack" she said quietly walking up to jack, who was now standing still, staring out of the window.

Jack began to pace again.

"Jack, stop it" she said, she started to get concerned for Jack, as he never normally acted like this. "Jack please, stop this, I'm worried about you". Jack stopped and resumed looking out the window.

"I Can't" He finally looked up at her and what she saw was something she never thought she'd see from Jack, tears, streams of them down his face. The tears were rolling down his face breaking the dirt and leaving tear marks.

"You actually can't can you" Rose for once, had sympathy for Jack. Jack shook his head.

Rose walked to the door and looked round at Jack, who was still in the same place, wiping tears from his face.

Jack was now alone. "What have I done"
