Last chapter! Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed and like the story! Also, sorry but this chapter will be pretty short.
Also, sorry if it has been getting a little too confusing. It's been confusing to me even lol! So I've been trying to keep the confusion to a minimum, but I think I just didn't plan this story out as well as I should have. Plus, the whole idea of Elizabeth and Will staying married was a kind of spur of the moment decision that wasn't originally the plot, but I liked that so I threw out the original direction of the story, and I'm kinda wishing I hadn't cause I don't think it turned out as well as I could've and I kinda think the whole idea of them staying married because of her mom is a little ridiculous, but oh well, a lot of people have told me they love it so I guess it's a success but personally I'm just a little disappointed in how it turned out. But if you did like the story, great! Thank you to all my reviewers and everyone who followed this story! I think I'm gonna be taking a break from Pirates of the Caribbean stories but eventually I will be back doing Will and Elizabeth stuff.

Chapter 11
The End
Elizabeth drove down the street. Tears were building in her eyes and she had to pull over a couple times because she couldn't see. She was still in her white sweats with the bejeweled 'Bride' on the back and her hair was still done up in its elegant 'do. She didn't have any make up on other than lipstick and eyeliner on one eye. A few times she noticed a few stares from people as she passed, but it didn't matter to her.
As fast as she could, she drove home, wanting nothing more than to curl up in her bed, under her big, fluffy comforter, and shut out the whole world.
She entered her apartment and was surprised to find boxes piled everywhere. She slowly walked around the room and looked in the boxes, finding all of Will's things. On top of one of the boxes was an envelope addressed to Elizabeth, written in Will's slanting scribble. She sat one of the boxes and opened it prepared to read, but was only met with two words.
Goodbye Elizabeth
She sighed, but then noticed 4 more little words written at the bottom, so tiny. It was almost as if he were embarrassed or ashamed to say them.
P.S. I love you.
She smiled sadly but heard a noise behind her and looked up. Will walked down the hallway carrying a box, and he stopped when he saw her.
"Um…I didn't think you'd be back so soon. I was trying to get out of here before you came back." He said quietly, looking at her like a deer in the headlights.
She just sniffed, took a deep breath, and stood and looked at him. She didn't say anything, but just held up the letter.
"I was gonna leave that for you." He shrugged.
"Will, I love you too, believe me I really do." She told him desperately
He rolled his eyes. He had really hoped not to talk to her about this, but who was he kidding, of course they were gonna talk. "I know you do, but you know that's not the issue."
"And…I told everyone the truth," she said slowly. She was looking at the ground, but she looked up through her eyelashes, trying to gage his reaction.
Will wasn't sure what to think. Part of him wanted to leave and never see her again, but part of him wanted to hear her out. The part of him that wanted to hear her out was the part of him that loved her the most. That damn little part of him, he thought.
"What exactly did you say?"
"Everything. We eloped, I convinced you to stay married, we dated, everything."
"Why?"
"Because you were right. This was so absurd. I was an idiot for trying to pull this off, hell for even thinking of it. I'm so sorry for causing the trouble that I caused. I really am, and I hope that you can forgive me?"
They were both silent as Will seemingly thought it over. After a couple minutes, Elizabeth started feeling a little awkward. She began to shift her wait between the balls of her feet and the heels.
Finally noticing her discomfort, Will answered. "Why should I forgive you?" Although, he was pretty sure that he already knew what he wanted. And though he tried not to give it away, he was sure that she could sense it in his tone, despite the words. What he wanted was her.
"Because I love you?" Elizabeth replied, though it sounded more like a question. "And because I know you love me?" She smiled innocently with her signature pout and big eyes.
Will chuckled and shook his head, trying not to be pulled in by her little trick. "I do love you Elizabeth," as he spoke Elizabeth began to walk towards him.
She could see in his eyes and could tell by his laughter that she was winning him over. When she reached him, she brought her hand to his face and slowly caressed his cheek.
His hand reached up to hold hers. "You know what you did was wrong, right?"
"Yes, completely. And I'm so sorry."
Will brought her hand down and gently set his lips to it. "And you're not gonna go totally psycho again, right?"
"No, baby. I just freaked. I almost lost you, and I learned my lesson from that. I promise you we will get a divorce. No more pretending to be married. We can start over and date again, and who knows, maybe someday…we will get married…for real."
Will smirked and once again chuckled. He pulled her closer, and they shared a passionate kiss.
