Aye captain (Uma x Harry) {💯%}

22. The end of the line

Harry pov:
"Jess, please... I'm sorry for shouting!" I said as I followed her.
She turned and nearly knocked me over.
"Tell me that this is just one of my nightmares." she said with a broken voice and tears rolled down her cheeks.
I bend through my knees to be on eye keevl with hee and she hugged me.
I hugged her tightly as well.
She was all I got now, besides Gil but he was somewhere else with Jane and Doug-
Fuck.
He was somewhere else... He didn't know yet...
Which meant I'd have to tell him...

All of us were in the palace, well almost all of us...
Gil, Doug and Jane would soon arrive and Uma... y'know...
I held her necklace in my hand and just looked at it while Mal and Ben were talking about how to handle all of this.
"You guys defeated Audrey!" Doug said as they arrived and Gil looked towards me and Jess.
"Why the long faces?"
I swallowed as my eyes were still bloodshot.
"Uma's dead... Gil." I said and Jane looked at Mal.
"But you were going to use that blue stone, nothing could go wrong...?"
"It's a long story..." Jay mumbled and Gil looked at me.
"She's... really gone?"
I nodded once and tried to keep myself from crying again.
"So, when can I go back to the island?" I asked out of nowhere (mostly to change the subject) and everyone looked at me.
"Harry, you know that all dead people are being burried here in Auradon, no matter if they came from the isle or not... Why-" Mal started but I cut her off
"If you want to prevent another murder, you send me back."
"Then we're going with you." Jess said and Gil nodded.
"Okay... I'll make sure you guys can have a ride back to the isle... if that's what you want." Ben said and I nodded.
And so it happend.

We walked over the isle, back to the ship and Gil looked at me.
"So... What's the plan... captain?" he asked and a cold chill ran over my spine.
It sounded weird how Gil said that, I mean he wasn't wrong (for once)...
"Don't call me that." I said softly and he nodded.
"Sorry... But technically you-"
"I know, just shut up. Okay?"
Jess was sitting on my shoulders and I brought her to my cabin, I could tell she was exhausted.

I walked to Uma's office and I sighed as I walked in.
The picture of the three of us was still on her desk, it was the day we finished the ship.
I picked it up and scoffed softly.
"It's almost like I can still hear what you said at that moment..." I mumbled as my thought went back to that day.

"Harry knock it off! You're going to ruin the sail!" Uma yelled and I looked at her with a sly smile.
"Relax captain, you can trust me."
I dropped the turquoise paint on the deck.
"You better clean that mess up!"
"Aye Captain! But I thought you'd like it, since you dyed your hair the same colour."
She narrowed her eyes and Gil ran to us with an old camera after I cleaned the deck.
"Look what I found, it still works!"
I looked at him.
"Perfect timing."
"Oh hell no." Uma said but it was too late.
Gil made the picture of us, like some sort of selfie but then with an old camera instead of a smartphone.
The picture came out of the camera and I looked at Uma.
"Here you go Captain, you'll always remember the day we finished the ship."
"Dorks." she said but she did snatch the picture out of my hands.

I opened my eyes again and I looked at her angry face again.
"I'll always miss you, love." I said as I put the picture down.
I took her necklace out of my pocket and put it next to it.
"This always will belong to you... Captain..."
I saw a tear splat down on her desk and I realised I'd been crying again.
"How am I ever supposed to move on, Uma?" I mumbled and I burst once again.
Jess came in and she hugged me.
"Don't cry... She wouldn't want you to..." she said softly and I wrapped my arms around her.
"Dang you, kid..." I mumbled and Jess smiled a little; but not that much since she missed Uma too.
