Shattered Dreams

A/N: Okay I know it’s been forever since I last posted anything on here…but life has been a little crazy lately. But this story is going to be told from Will’s point of view about when he sees Jack and Elizabeth kissing on the Pearl just before Elizabeth leaves Jack to the Kracken. It’s obviously going to be a oneshot…so I hope you enjoy it and please don’t be shy…leave a review!!

Everything around me seems to be happening in slow motion as we move to depart into the awaiting longboat. Jack has given the order to abandon his precious Pearl finally realizing that if there is any hope of escaping this situation alive it’s to be had by running away. Gibbs hands me a rifle as we walk quickly to the right side of the ship to climb down the ladder to load into the longboat where the remainder of the crew that hadn’t been devoured by the Kracken were waiting. My dark eyes scan the longboat for Elizabeth only to discover that she’s not there as I make my way down the ladder. Up ahead of me Gibbs is coming down the ladder to climb into the longboat. Everyone’s voices around me seem to drown out as I begin to look for Elizabeth. Where could she have disappeared to? And then a flash of movement catches my eye causing me to look up through the railing on the side of the Pearl. I freeze where I’m standing on the ladder as my dark eyes widen as they focus on Elizabeth. She’s there on the deck of the Pearl….with Jack….and no one else is around. I can see her lips moving but it’s like I’ve gone deaf from the disbelief of seeing my true love at another man’s side.

She walks closer to him as he stands there pretending to be some kind of hero or savior to her. Her eyes seem to never leave his as she closes the distance between them her face tilting up towards his as if she’s contemplating her next move. Why can’t I hear what she’s saying to him? And then my world stops as I watch Elizabeth lean forward to crush her mouth against Jack’s in a kiss so blistering that even from where I stand on clinging to the ladder on the side of the Pearl I can feel it’s scorching heat. Her hands reach up to tangle in his disheveled mess of dreadlocks as she marches him back until he’s pressed up against the main mast of the ship. Their mouths slant over each other in a seemingly endless dance that makes my stomach churn uneasily the longer I stare at them. Suddenly my world returns to normal exploding to the surface from the depths of silence that it had been trapped in. From above me Gibbs’ voice cuts through my thoughts like a dagger through warm flesh.

“Come on Will…step to!!”

Forcing myself to tear my eyes away from the blinding betrayal of my fiancee and the man who I thought was one of my closest friends I continue down the ladder into the longboat. After a few moments my eyes drift back up to the Pearl and I feel a scowl start to stretch across my face. How could they have betrayed me like this? I catch sight of Elizabeth as she climbs down the ladder and climbs into the longboat sliding into the empty seat next to me. She glances over her shoulder at me with a wide eyed stare her tea colored eyes swimming with guilt. Unable to stomach the intensity of my gaze she turns her back to me and glares out to sea as everyone looks up at the Pearl waiting for Jack to climb down the ladder. After a few almost suffocating moments of silence I decide to speak up.

“Where’s Jack?”

Elizabeth’s head whips back around her tea colored eyes wide with shock from my question. Her mouth opens a moment as she struggles with the decision of whether or not to give me an answer. She can tell that something’s wrong as I stare at her coldly waiting for a response. Finally after a long uncomfortable pause she wills herself to answer.

“He elected to stay behind…to give us a chance.”

My dark eyes narrow as I try to decide whether I should blow her lie all to hell in front of everyone that sits in the longboat with us. No…not yet…let it eat at her to know that I suspect her guilty of something. She deserves it. Finally unable to handle the heat of my stare Elizabeth turns away once again to face towards Gibbs who is standing there holding the rope keeping the longboat docked alongside the Pearl. Elizabeth’s trembling voice breaks the heavy silence as she shouts at Gibbs.

“Go!”

Scowling I turn away from her to face out towards the open ocean as Gibbs gives the order to shove away from the Pearl. After rowing quite a ways out we stop and watch as the Kracken wraps it’s unforgiving tentacles around the Pearl to drag her down beneath the depths taking Jack Sparrow with it. I watched as Elizabeth’s face seemed to turn the whitest I had ever seen it as the Pearl was dragged beneath the waves taking her precious Captain Sparrow with it… the man she loved… the man she had shared the most intimate of kisses with before he marched off to his watery death. My scowl etched itself deeper into my face as I watched the tears begin to run down her face. She was crying for Jack…the man she loved…crying for the loss of him right in front of me! I force myself to look away from her as Ragetti and Pintel begin to row the longboat further away from where the Pearl and Jack had disappeared beneath the waves. And as we sailed through the ocean towards the mouth of the river that would lead us to Tia Dalma’s rickety jungle shack I realized that I had lost the one thing that mattered most to me in this world. I had lost Elizabeth to Jack…even if he was dead it didn’t make her love him any less. And that was a painful reality to swallow.

A/N: Okay please read and review and let me know what u think of it!!
