Just Words

by edieslugbug

Short drabbles. Jack needs to tell Elizabeth something, and his conscience is urging him to do it. Complete, I told you it was short.

3. Chapter 3

Tell her.

She's right there, climbing into the boat, just say the words.

"Elizabeth?" You're voice is stumbling. Don't be worried about what will come next, just say the damn words, Jack.

Her head whips around, almost as if she was waiting for you to say one last thing. There, that's your proof. She loves you, too, you idiot. So just say it.

Now.

"I…"

Now.

"I love you."

Thank the Lord. See, it wasn't so hard, was it?

"It's a little late, Jack."

…Idiot. Why did you tell her?
