Jack watched as Will went to Elizabeth's grave. Everyday rain or shine, he sat besides her grave talking to her and Lizzie putting fresh flowers on both of their graves. William walked up and stood by Jack. He saw his father and sadly turned his head and left to go to Jack's home. Jack saw the sadness in William's eyes. He had lost his mother and sister but in many ways he had lost his father as well. Jack couldn't remember seeing Will laugh or even smile seen he returned home to find he had lost Elizabeth.
"Will," Jack said walking up to the graves, "Will."
Will looked as though he was in a trance. He didn't notice anyone or anything when he came here. He slowly looked up at Jack tears filling his eyes.
"Will, ye must move on. It's been near a month since we returned."
"I can't Jack. I can't leave her."
"Son, ye son needs ye badly. He carries ye guilt along with ye."
"But Jack," Will started to say.
"Will, ye gave me that letter from Elizabeth to read. Ye are going against everything she wanted. Her dying wish, Will, ye are disrespecting her."
Will stood up suddenly angry, "I'm not disrespecting her. I…I," Will lost all his anger and suddenly started sobbing uncontrollable.
"Will, I can't imagine what ye feel but Elizabeth wanted ye to take care of William and move on."
Will looked up at the rough pirate, tears filled Jack's eyes as well. "It's just so hard. But I know you are right Jack, I just can't seem to find the strength."
"Look, it's time we sailed on the Pearl. Ye need to get back in the swing of things and what better place to clear you heart and mind than being on the sea aboard the Pearl."
"But I haven't been there much for William. Should we take him," Will asked.
"Ye and Elizabeth wanted him to have schooling. Elizabeth's letter asked that ye leave the boy here with Jess."
Will nodded his head in agreement.
"Besides," Jack said, "ye need some time to gather one-self together before ye can help him."
"Ok Jack," Will answered in a defeated tone. "When do we sail and where to this time," Will asked.
"We leave tomorrow and we be sailing to Tortuga," Jack said with a smile. Jack thought that if any one place could make you forget sadness it was Tortuga.
"Tortuga," Will repeated then he looked over once again to the two graves. He wiped the tears away and walked with Jack. He must tell William that his father was going away again.
