A Pirate's love

Chapter 56

Jack docked his ship in Great Britain. He strode dramatically off the gangplank. He was alone because Angelica devoted the next 3 days to hugging Jackie, who was now 7.
Jack took a big sniff of air. Smells just like when I lived here for a year, Jack thought to himself. He never really liked it there, the people too proper and the security too high. But he did make one friend, Nester Gret.
Jack was suprised they were friends, he was a goodie school boy and Jack was well... A cabin boy at the time, but a pirate at the least. They had spent joyous summers together when Jack's ship docked and Nester's academy let out. Jack would show him the art of pranking, and causing trouble, and Nester would teach Jack about the stars and about his theories. Nester was a deep thinker, this drove away most female company, meanwhile Jack had to fight to keep them away. This angered Nester, Jack didn't know it, but he was constantly jealous of his natural charm. Oh was he lucky to have his charm. Nevertheless, they were friends. Oh the memories they had too....
These thoughts occupied Jack the entire time he walked into town for supplies.
When he arrived he saw something so incredible that he got the widest grin. Nester's apartment building was still standing. Jack thought of the memories and went to knock on the door, just in case.
"Ya-" The grown man at the door stopped mid sentence and his jaw dropped.
"Nester!" Jack bear hugged him with a few pats on the back. "What have you done? You're so macho looking." Jack joked, he barely had a stubble now.
"Always so funny." Nester joked. "What's new Sparrow?" He came out of his house to walk with him.
"Nothing much, got married, had a kid." Jack looked at Nester as they walked, expecting exactly what followed.
Nester rounded Jack and came to stand in front of him to stop him from walking. "Jack sparrow settled down, got married and had a kid?!?" I remember when you were 10, you didn't even want a girlfriend, said you didn't want to be tied down and now look!" Nester chuckled but was secretly angry at Jack's success, but Jack didn't know. He just punched Nester in the arm like old friends.
"Well things change. Anyway she's great, we are both pirates. She lives on my ship with me, and so does the kid. She's beautiful, you should meet her. Come on Nest! Have dinner with us?" Jack pleaded like a child.
"Sure." Gret agreed, holding in his hate. Jack had a family, and he was still stuck in the same apartment building 30 years later, alone.
