I'll Take my Chances
Chapter 23
Jack sat in his cabin, worried of what to do, he for once didn't have a plan and when he didn't have a plan he knew something was wrong.
Jack racked his brain for ideas, the only solution he could come up with was run, but he couldn't leave Elizabeth. I know. He thought
"I'll run, with Elizabeth" he paused "Escape" Jack smiled grew on his face, he knew he had to pretend to be upset so that they would let him visit Elizabeth one last time. Jack waited in his cabin for either Rose or Beckett to return.
After hours Rose and Beckett walked into the cabin, looking straight at Jack, who was sitting on the edge of them bed looking at the floor.
"See" Rose said pointing at Jack " I told you he was upset"
Beckett walked up to Jack inspected the look on his face, and smiled "He actually is" he said whilst laughing.
"It's not funny, I have never seen him like this, and I've been close to him before" Rose insisted.
"Can I see Elizabeth" whispered Jack, he looked up, Beckett saw the tear marks on his face and smiled.
"No"
"Beckett, I'm not asking for freedom, I'm not asking for a way out, I'm asking to see the woman I love for what will probably be the last time" Pleaded Jack. Rose looked at him in astonishment, Jack may have loved Rose when they were younger, but he wasn't in love with her.
"Yes you can" interrupted Rose. Beckett looked at her in disgust. "What?" he questioned Beckett, and before he could disagree, Jack had ran down to where Elizabeth was.
" Jack" Elizabeth said hearing Jack coming down the stairs. Jack rushed to the bars that Elizabeth stood behind, and shook them.
"Elizabeth, stand back" Elizabeth was confused. He picked up the bench and used it as a lever, and within seconds Jack had removed the bars and Elizabeth was free. Luckily enough at the same time the bars made a noise when it hit the floor, someone on deck coincidently shouted "Land Ho".
"Jack" she said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug. He just looked her in the eyes and gave her an "Everything is going to be all right" look. He took hold of her hand and squeezed it tightly. They were about to walk out of the door but thought it was too risky, Beckett could be out there, so the walked to window, it was small, but it was big enough for Elizabeth to fit through.
"Go, I'll meet you out there in a second" Elizabeth's eyes widened " No, I will, not leave without you" Jack brought her in for a fiery passionate kiss, which to them lasted a lifetime, it was slow at first but Jack deepened the kiss.
"I Promise I'll be out there in a second" Elizabeth nodded and got to the window and climbed up and out. Jack watched her until he herd a splash from when she landed in the water.
Jack walked to the door of the jail and hesitated for a second to go out, but then decided to go out. He stepped out and saw Rose standing in the centre of the ship. Rose looked around the ship searching for Jack and glanced at him. She smiled and pretended to not see him. Jack nodded at her and walked off the ship without a problem, as he passed Rose, he whispered "Thank You!"
