I can't help but love you. (Edward Kenway x Reader)

(2)

~Two years later, you were nineteen almost twenty...about a month before your b-day, Blackbeard was thirty-two, and

Edward was twenty five~

 "Edward! Edward!" You smiled, and hugged Edward almost knocking him over. "I haven't seen you in forever!" Edward

chuckled, "You saw me yesterday!" "I know it's been like 24 hours!" Edward just laughed, you loved it when he laughed when

you were hugging him. One, his laugh was adorable, two, you could feel his laugh in his chest. "Aye! (Y/N)!" Blackbeard

yelled for you. You looked over and he was walking with Benjamin Hornigold, Charles Vane, and Calico Jack. You smiled and

ran up to them. "I haven't seen you guys in forever!" You yelled, hugging Calico first, Charles second, and then you almost

knocked over Benjamin. "It's good to be back in Nassau!" Charles said, walking over to the (what's the bar called...again? I

forgot ._.) You followed after him. Jack put his arm around you. "Aye, yer too young to be drinkin' at the pub with us big

boys. Go off 'n sew." He said, drunk off his ass. "Get the hell off her." Blackbeard said pushing him off. You were little hurt at

his words. You always sat with them...then again you always ordered a water.... You lived in Nassau where anyone could do

what they wanted when they wanted, and the boys always made you get a water... One of them always ordered for you...

 You were gonna say something and then somebody tripped you. You fell flat on your face. 'That's so embarrassing!

Somebody tripped me, and I couldn't even catch myself and I fell in front of Edward! I mean everybody!' You thought, your

face heating up. "(Y/N) are you okay?" Edward said, kneeling down. "Lass are you alright? You kind of tripped over your

own feet there." Benjamin said. "I tripped over my own feet?" You whispered. "Yeah... There's nobody in our pathway and

none of us tripped you..." You ignored everybody's hands that were held out and stood up by yourself, brushing the dirt off

of you. "I'm fine..Lets just go to the bar, okay?" You said, irritated at nobody at yourself.

~

You all arrived at the bar and the lady that always brought you your drinks apparently memorized what you guys wanted. Of

course, the only water with her was yours. You felt so left out.... Everybody around you...they were having fun, the men at

your table, were having fun. "I'm going back to the ship." You said, getting up. Benjamin, who you were sitting next to,

grabbed the cuff of your (shirt/jacket) "Whys that?" He asked. "I...I uh... Don't really... feel too well." You lied. "(Y/N) I

hope you know I can see right through your lie. If you don't feel good you want nothing to do with the ship." Blackbeard said.

'Curse that man for knowing me so well!' You thought. "Well?" Blackbeard questioned when he didn't get an answer. "Can I

just talk to you...Over there?" You said, pointing to the the opposite side of where you all were sitting. Blackbeard gave you a

weird look, nodded, and walked over with you following behind.

 "What's wrong Lass?" He asked. "I don't know I just feel left out... I guess.." Blackbeard sighed. "I figured this would

happen sooner or later....Come on. Let's go back to the table, and i'll get you somethin' else to drink." You nodded, not

expecting this, and sat back down at the table with the guys. 

~

Blackbeard ordered you a really strong drink. "Are you sure she can handle it Teach?" Edward asked. "She is kind of small

you might want to start 'er off with somethin' different..." Benjamin said. "Nah! Let the Lass have a taste of it!" Blackbeard

said, laughing. You were a little scared to be honest. The waitress came and gave you your drink, "Go on, drink up."

Blackbeard said, smirking. Everybody was staring at you and you took a slow sip of the alcohol....

~

Five beers later you were face down on the table... Everybody wondered what kind of drunk you were... Were you

emotional? Rash? Party drunk? Or a funny drunk? "Hey (Y/N)... Are you alright?" Jack asked. "What the hell do you want!?"

You said, slamming your fists down onto the table. "Rash...Rash drunk..." Edward laughed. "Shut the hell up..." You said.

Blackbeard laughed. You went back to being face down on the table with your arm cushioning your head. You pretty much

fell asleep with your hand on the handle of the cup, and your arm cushioning your head. "Aye...Should we take her back to

the ship?" Benjamin asked, just then Blackbeard fell over in his drunken state, and started to snore. "Should I take her to my

ship?" Calico Jack asked. "I ain't going to your ship...b*tch..." You said, half awake. "You guys can sleep here." The red

haired waitress said. Everybody, but you and Blackbeard, nodded. 

~

You woke up on a table with someones jacket over you... Who cares who it belonged to it was soft. You looked over to

Edward and he was sleeping on a table with that red haired waitress from last night... A little bit of you died. You saw a man

hitting his hand until he woke up, you didn't know what was said between them because your head was pounding! What did

you do last night... You fell back asleep.

~

 You woke up to Blackbeard shaking you lightly. "Aye come on Lass. We need to go start sailing towards Charles-Towne."

Blackbeard said. "My old hometown?" You asked. "Aye... We're gonna wait overseas for a while, wait for Edward, and then

get medicine." You nodded and stood up, walking towards the docks.
