"You know love, marriage is a very tricky thing. It's better not to get tangled up into it if you don't have to. Anyways, you and Will, just aren't for each other. But you and me. We are exactly alike. We were made for each other." Jack lay down on the sand and spread his arms and legs out to dry off from his swim.
"Is that so?" Elizabeth said smiling. She was used to Jack being drunk and saying ridiculous things about the two of them.
"I mean." Jack went on. "Is Will even looking for you? 'Cause he sure as hell hasn't found you yet." Elizabeth ignored this statement. She had been worried about the same thing.
"Sometimes I wish I could fly. If I- If I could fly, then I could get us outa here. That would be...great. We could leave this damn island and never see it again! wouldnt that be great Beth?" Jack flung his arms out to the side and started moving them up and down in so that it looked like he had wings.
"It would Jack, but it will never happen."
"Well you just ruined my...life dream! I want to fly! dont you want to fly?"
"Yes, but Jack, you cant fly."
"WHY NOT!" Jack had gotten to his feet and ran down to the water with his arms flapping. "I CAN FLY! I CAN FLY!!! WATCH ME!!" Elizabeth laughed as she watched him run into the water and trip. he stood back up sopping wet and walked gloomily back to Elizabeth. "I will just have to show you tomorrow. But now i am too ti-tired." Jack yawned and fell backward on to the sand and started to snore.
Elizabeth took the empty rim bottle out of Jack's hand and put it with the rest of the hundreds of bottles Jack had finished off in the last few days.
"Jack..."
"Yes love?" Jack groaned.
"Do you think you could show me where the food is tomorrow. We could use something to eat. Didnt you say you knew where there was something to eat?"
"Ah! Who needs food. We can live for-for another 'undred years without food." Jack began to trail off, and soon he was snoring. Elizabeth lay down next to him and looked up at the stars, One star winked down at her, and for some reason it made her feel...content. She knew that there was a slight chance that Will was looking at that same little star, and thinking about her. And with that, she closed her eyes and drifted off to a land that onll she knew about.
