elite_muses, topic 14: Second Chances
Had it been left up to me, Jack Sparrow would've walked away a free man, after he pulled out of the ocean and saved my life. Despite the Commodore's insistence that one good deed does not make up for a lifetime of wickedness--I don't agree. He didn't have to help me, yet he did. I owed him my life, and that should have counted for something. I am not saying Jack's actions are never inexcusable or wrong, but that day...he didn't deserve to be chained and drug into a cell like a dog.
In other words, yes. I believe in second chances; perhaps not as strongly as I used to, but I still do.

What I wonder...is that if I were to confess my sins. If I were to tell Will exactly what I'd done--everything I'd done--would he forgive me? Have I earned it? Would he still love me despite the fact that I betrayed him? Would he still want to marry me?
Would I get that second chance?
What frightens me is that I'm not entirely sure that I have earned it.
Or that he would give it to me even if I had.
