Chapter 7

Gibbs and Jack decided to go to Angelica's house again, to see if she had any extra rooms to spare for them. Jack knocked on the door and hoped that Matthew didn't answer the door. To his luck, Angelica answered it. "What do you want now?" she asked. "Do you happen to have any extra rooms for Mr. Gibbs and me tonight?" Jack asked. "Yes. I have one for Mr. Gibbs, but you'll have to sleep in a chair in the living room," Angelica added, with a smile. "Fair enough," Jack said.

They entered the house and Matthew walked down the stairs and asked his mother, "What are they doing here, again?" "They're going to sleep here, Matthew," Angelica answered her son. Matthew went back up the stairs and started to clean up the guest room. Gibbs went up to help him, which left Jack and Angelica alone. "Do I still have that piece of bread on my face?" Jack joked. "Ha ha. And no. You got it off," Angelica laughed. Jack sat down on one of the seats in the living room and Angelica joined him. "What're you thinking of?" Angelica asked him. "Nothing. It's nothing," Jack lied. He was still thinking of Elizabeth. "Come on, Jack. Tell me what's on your mind."

"Well, we went to Elizabeth's house because Gibbs forgot something there, and Elizabeth and I were outside talking and we... we... uh..."

"You what?"

"We kinda sorta almost, um, kissed."

"You kinda sorta almost what?"

"Um, yeah. You're the one who asked."

"But, how did you... God, I'm confused. So what you made a move, or something."

"No, she did."

"She did!"

"Yeah, she was talking about how would never be together and then we kinda, just, um, moved closer and almost kissed, I guess."

"Oh, wow. Um, that's interesting." Angelica mumbled. She was a bit jealous, but she tried not to show it. "Yeah, it was a tad bit awkward, because she's married and everything," Jack went on. Angelica felt like she wanted to comfort Jack, like give him a hug or something. But she knew it wasn't necessary. "Oh, Jack. You just have an interesting life," she said. Jack laughed and said, "Yeah, I sure do." They were quiet for a while, until Angelica thought of something. "Jack, on the island, when we said that we loved each other, did you mean it?" Jack looked at her with a confused look on his face, then said, "Uh, you mean the island I left you on?" "Yes. That one," she said. "Oh, well, now let's see. Um... yes, I did."

"Do you still?"

"Sure."

"You don't sound very believable."

"What's not to believe? Am I not a believable person?" Angelica just laughed. Jack smiled and thought of that day on the island. Then he started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Angelica asked. "After you said that you loved me, I got in the boat, then you shot at me. I just think that's hysterical," he said. Then Angelica started to laugh. Pretty soon, the two of them were laughing so much, Gibbs came down the stairs to see if everything was alright. Then, he went back up the stairs, and they continued to laugh. "Jack, you're just full of surprises," Angelica said. "Yeah, I am," he said. "I have to go upstairs and see if Matthew's ready for bed. I'll be back down," she said, getting up out of her seat and going up the stairs.

As soon as she was out of sight, Jack got up a began to search the living room for his voodoo doll. He searched under the chairs, under the blankets, in the chests, and even in the kitchen cabinets. Then, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. He ran back to his seat and pretended that he was sleeping. Angelica looked at him and walked toward him. She bent down to his level and kissed his cheek, saying, "Good night, Jack. I love you." She walked back up the stairs and Jack opened his eyes. Okay, when I think everyone's asleep, I'll go into the rooms and look for it, Jack thought to himself. It was almost an hour later when Jack went snooping around the house to find the doll. He checked in each room, including Matthew's and the one Gibbs was sleeping in. All was left was Angelica's room.

Jack walked in as quietly as he could. He saw Angelica in her bed, sound asleep. Good, stay like that, he thought to himself. He opened drawer after drawer as quietly as he could. Until he finally found it. It wasn't in a drawer, but right on Angelica's bed pillow. Great, that's just fantastic, Jack thought. He walked over to the bedside and kneeled on the floor, to get to the height of the bed. He reached to grab the doll, but before he grabbed it, he noticed that Angelica's hand was holding onto the doll. It's never easy, is it, he said to himself. He grabbed the doll and tried to pull it slowly from Angelica's hand. Before Jack had it out of her hand, Angelica's eyes shot open and, before Jack knew it, he was laying on the floor with Angelica looking at him from her bed. "I should've known you'd look for this. You felt the stabs, then," she whispered, getting out of the bed. "Yes, and I would love to have it back before something horrible happens to it," he said. Angelica kneeled on the floor next to Jack, then laid down. "Jack, I will give it to you, if you promise to kill Barbossa," she said. "I thought we already had a deal for that," Jack shot back.

"We did, but I think I'm going to change the Pearl objective."

"What's it going to be then?" Jack asked. Angelica laughed and put her hand on Jack's chest, feeling his heartbeat. He looked at her and she saw that he was very confused. Angelica said, "Become captain of the Flying Dutchman." Jack's eyes widened. He knew that the only way to become captain of the Flying Dutchman, he would have to kill Will, and leave the Pearl. "And if I don't?" he questioned. Angelica's smile extended. She crawled on top of Jack, eye to eye, and said, "Then, I will kill Mr. Gibbs and break the Black Pearl's bottle." "Angelica, now you wouldn't do that to me would you?" Jack asked, putting his hand on her face. "I don't know Jack. I just don't know," she said, putting her face closer to Jack's. He just smiled and tried to get up, but Angelica forced him back down. "Jack... If we were to be together, what would you say?" she requested. "I don't know Angelica. I just don't know," he said, using her words against her. She smiled and took Jack's hat off his head and put it on the floor next to them.

"What is it that you're planning to do with me?" he asked her, putting his other hand on her face. "Oh nothing. I'm just trying to make you remember the night we had together in Tortuga," she said mischievously. "The only thing that doesn't fit is my drunkenness, I think," Jack said. Angelica smiled and put her face even closer to Jack's, so that they could feel each other breathing. "Jack, do you know why I'm doing this?" she asked him. "To show me that you haven't changed at all?" Jack suggested. "No, to show you how I used to be in love with you," she said. Then she kissed Jack. Jack was a little surprised by this, but he kissed her back and thought to himself that he used to like the days he and she were together, how death would stare them in the face and even though they sounded like they hated each other, they had a secret inside them. And that secret was coming alive now. "Jack... I love you. I've always loved you. Since the first day we met. I've wanted to find you... all these years, to tell you... to tell you that you had a son. But I forgot about it. I'm... sorry," Angelica said, pulling away just a tad so she could talk, but between every pause, she would lean in and kiss him again. "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness. You've told me that countless times. And I do as well. I love you, Angelica. More than you know," Jack said, and pulled her back and kissed her again.

They laid there together for the rest of the night. Occasionally, Jack would wake up during the night and swear someone was watching them. He thought of the Pearl, his true love, and how to get her back. He couldn't kill Will because then he would have to become captain of the Flying Dutchman, and never be captain of the Pearl again. He knew that Angelica was up to something, but he couldn't figure out what. He turned his head to look at her. He laughed to himself because he thought of how he did an amazing bluff on Angelica. Sure, he liked her, but he's not the type that would go around making out with every woman he met. Then, a thought came to him. What if she was bluffing, too? Ha, that would be one for a story. Two people in love that truly never were. Suddenly, Jack heard someone downstairs. Whoever it was, was coming up the staircase. Walking toward Matthew's room. "Did you hear that?" Angelica whispered, sleepily. "Yeah, but be quiet. We can't afford to make a sound," Jack whispered back. They heard Matthew's door open and heard some quiet whispering. Jack made a move to get up, but Angelica held him down. "Wait, that's Tucker's voice," she said. "Now how could he be here?" "You're asking the wrong person for that, love," Jack answered. Then, there was a knock on their bedroom door. Jack quickly got up and answered it. He was face-to-face with Elizabeth. "You need to get out of here, now," she said, grabbing Jack by the arm. "What? What's going on?" he asked, clearly baffled. "Tucker saw everything when you came over. He sent a letter to his father and he's coming to kill you," Elizabeth answered. "Well, that's fantastic," Angelica said, getting up from the floor. Jack went to get Gibbs up, but he was already in the living room, waiting for them. "Is Tucker here?" Angelica asked. "Yes, he's telling Matthew everything," she answered. Jack's and Angelica's face went from nothing to shock. "Why didn't you stop him!" Angelica said. "He was already in his room when I came in the house!" Elizabeth shot back. The two women began shouting at each other, then Jack pulled them away from each other. As soon as he did so, the house door opened. "Hello Jack. Will's wants to see you," the figure in the door said. "Damn, that parrot's fast!" Elizabeth mumbled. "And if I don't come?" Jack retorted. "Then he said he will kill your wife and son," the figure said. "What wife? I don't have a wife!" Jack exclaimed. The figure rolled his eyes and nodded to someone who wasn't visible to the four. Before Jack knew it, he was hit in the back of the head with felt like the end of a gun. He fell to his knees and two figures, who were behind them, dragged him out the door. "Now, you all will come with me," the figure said. "And if we don't come?" Angelica spat out. The figure rolled his eyes again and six figures came in and held them by their arms and carried them out of the house. The figure looked at the stair case and saw Tucker and Matthew standing there. "Thank you Tucker. Your father is proud of you," the figure said then walked out of the house. "You called them to get my mother and my... my father?" Matthew whispered. "Yes, I did," Tucker answered. "Well, then, I'm going with them. I would never leave my parents to die or whatever's going to happen to them," Matthew said. He pushed Tucker out of the way and hurried down the stairs, and ran out the door. Matthew ran for the docks and saw the Flying Dutchman about to cast off. He ran as fast as he could toward the ship and made it. Before he knew it, he was staring face to face with Tucker's father. "Well, I suppose this is your son, Jack," he said. Right behind Matthew, however, Tucker was running to catch up with him. "Son... Thank you for sending me that letter. Maccus, show my son to his room. I'll have to deal with these people for a bit," Will said. As soon as Tucker was gone, Will turned to the five captives he had on his ship. "So, what to do with you lot..." Damn, thought Jack, now we're screwed.

Oh crap. Jack's in trouble. Stupid Tucker. Did you like the little Jack and Angelica thingy? If you didn't... my bad. Now, Will's gonna be really hard to make him stay in his character. But I will attempt!
