to the sea

Chapter 30

Everything has been so awkward Jack was avoiding basically everyone, the crew was giving me weird looks, and I just wanted to be alone.

Edmund tried to come and cheer me up but I just wanted to be alone and he respected that. I needed to go talk to Jack but it was clear that he wanted nothing to do with all this. This was a nightmare and I just wanted to go home or see my mom. Mom was right I should of just listened to her. I went to the dungeons and just put myself in a cell and just sat there because I feel like I should be in one. I was thinking I should sneak off of the ship and just take the boat and find my way back home or maybe go back to the island, find the Dutchman, go back with Rachel and Serena on vergarge, and be with Henry again because right now everything seems so much better than staying on this ship.

"There you are" Gibbs said.

I wiped my tears "hi".

"Don't worry about it too much. This is just all so new to Jack and it came really quickly to him just give him time".

"I know and I didn't want to have to tell him the way it happened".

"Oh that is why you were talking to him when I told him about the Dutchman. I am sorry I ruined it all".

"No no I should of told him sooner. When we first met. I was just afraid of what might happen and I didn't want anything to get in the way of you and Edmund reconnecting".

"You are such a sweet girl and you shouldn't be worrying about that. Did Edmund tell you I was his father?"

"Yes he did because he figured out who I was so he told me. He kept it for me. He wanted me to do it when I was ready".

"I'll go talk to Jack okay. I will talk sense into him".

He walked away. I didn't want to leave this spot .

Then Edmund found me "are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm alright just wanted to be alone. Your dad just came and talked to me said he was going to talk to Jack and your dad is really nice".

"He is isn't he".

Edmund just sat with me. We didn't talk as much as I wanted to be alone having Edmund here was comforting. We just sat in silence after a while Edmund went off to what ever he does. I just sat in the corner thinking I should go and rejoin everyone but I liked being alone in the cell. I really wanted my mom and who knows if I will ever see her again since she knows I'm out on an adventure and if I do return home will she still stop by like she usually does?

There was so many things running through my mind and here I was.

"Why did I even offer to pay Jack's debt? It was probably so bad and that it why they were so confused. I really am stupid". I said to myself.

I would never be like this I guess the sea does change you. I ended up passing out and when I opened my eyes I felt a little more relaxed.

I guess I needed a little sleep and just forget about everything for a little. Once I opened my eyes everything hit me again and I was not leaving this cell. I noticed that Bailey was sitting next to me with some food in his hand. He noticed that I was awake and handed me the bread. It was the cutest thing.

"Why thank you bailey" I said.

He then ran up to me and gave me a hug. It is like he knows that I am feeling down. Bailey stayed with me for while and the he scurried off to probably go play with Jack. I decided that I need to leave this cell and go find somewhere else to hid since everyone had been finding me. I then decided to go to the cannon area and no one was in there. I guess the only time people are in there is when the ship is in battle or they just want to mess around. I decided to sit next to one of the cannons and just look out the little opening. It was a lot different looking at the sea here because the water was so close. It reminded me of all the times on the little boat with Edmund. Every single memory has been running through my head and it has just been so hard to want to go home and just forget this place.

How could I want to leave I know this whole thing with Jack has been a complete disaster but Edmund was my best friend. I would of never even gotten this far if it was not for Edmund and I shouldn't want to just leave.

I started crying. I have been crying but I don't think I have ever cried this much as I am doing right now. I guess I was crying so loud that someone heard me.

I saw someone standing and it was Jack. I wiped my tears and it was silent. Jack then finally walked towards me.

"Uhh I guess we need to talk" he said.

"Only if you want to".

"Well um I don't know how to do this but are you telling the truth. Angelica is your mother?"

"Yes she is and she told me all about you and she even said you wouldn't believe me. That is why I took the doll to prove to you even more".

"I knew you looked like someone who I know but now it is so much clear. You are like a spitting image of your mother".

"I always get told that".

"What is she up to now ?"

"She just travels along with her crew and will come home every so often when she feels like it".

"Same old Angelica".

"She despises you if that is how she was before".

"Sounds right".

"Why did you leave her on that island?"

"I knew she would kill me so I had to".

"Why?"

"I basically killed her dad and gave her his remaining years at the fountain of youth".

"So you care about her".

"I do I wouldn't admit that to her but I do".

"So why didn't you believe her about me".

"I didn't want to believe it".

"So you left her".

"Yeah. Who took care of you since she was gone all the time?"

"Numerous people and one knows you".

"Who".

"Henry Turner".

"Really now at least he is still the same as well".

"Yeah he let me aboard his ship for awhile then I told him who I was and then I decided to part ways then I met Edmund".

"That is Henry for you".

Talking with Jack gave me a sense of hope that it could work, that all this could work between us. It will take time but this was a small step into hopefully the right direction.
