Etta stepped back, knowing what was coming, she braced herself to cover her ears and run, though she stayed to see what would happen

" e..elly i- im.. im really sorry… " she tried apologizing, pulling away from sally

Eleanor shook her head quickly. "No, I…" She closed her eyes and turned away. "Have your fun, Captain. Come on," she said to Bernadette before she turned and hurried away, fighting to keep the tears out of her vision.

" eleanor!" neva got up and made haste after her

Eleanor turned to face Neva sharply. "Don't say my name," she snapped, the sadness now evident in her tone and features.

" eleanor.. just hear me out? please,"

"What could you possibly have to say to me?" Eleanor demanded. "I trusted you, Neva." She looked away and took a shaky breath. "I trusted you," she repeated.

" im sorry. i truly am. eleanor you should now, ive liked sally for a bit, it caught me off guard when you said you loved me and i wanted to give you what you wanted.."

Eleanor shook her head and laughed shortly. "Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you kissed me. Not everyone can have what they want, Captain. Life isn't fair like that." With that, she gripped Bernadette's wrist in her fingers and pulled the girl behind her back into her room. She shut the door and bolted it without a second thought.

neva looked devistated, tearing up..

Eleanor sighed and leaned against the door once it was completely bolted. She realized quickly that she still had a rather unforgiving grip on Bernadette's wrist, and she quickly released her. "God, I'm so sorry, are you alright?" she asked quickly. "I didn't mean to… I'm so sorry."

Sally was confused. After Neva and Eleanor stormed out it took her a moment to piece together what just happened then it clicked Neva kissed me when she was dating Eleanor! she realised. She quickly got up and ran up screaming "What the hell!" She stormed up and started yelling at Neva "why would you do it! You love her don't you? Why would you kiss me? Why Neva why. What could I possibly have that Eleanor doesn't! She is clearly prettier, a higher rank, british, pretty, and on top of that she is a princess! i am just a sob story why would you even want to kiss me! I" Sally started to choke up and tears started rolling down her face "Neva, you think I am a good person but I am not. I just- I just want you to have what I got stolen from me. I want you to find someone you truly love."

(Damn the tea here. Major Sally backstory yay)

neva froze " i didnt care if you had a bad history,i didnt mind at all. it was you in general that drew me to you…" she mumbled " i. i dont know whats going on in my head but i feel like i love the both of you and i just fucked it up… im sorry!" she started to cry. " i thought i could manage everything at once and i fucked it up.."

Bernadette took shallow breaths, rubbing her sore wrist as she looked up at Eleanor with fear deep in her eyes. She didn't want to be scared of Eleanor, hell, she could never be scared of her. It was what she did that frightened her.
"I'm… I'm al-alright…" She choked out, trying to calm herself

Sally walked out of the room and went back down below deck. She sat against the wall and started sobbing. This is why you can't have nice things she thought to herself. She didn't want to think about the last time she did something like this Cali she thought I can't have a repeat of last time the next time we land ashore I am to get off and go to another boat.

neva was torn to go after sally or eleanor. she made up her mind and went to sally first. she went up to the other and put her hand in the others " come with me.." she said silently

Eleanor took Bernadette's shoulders gently. "I'm so sorry," she said again, looking into the girl's eyes. "I didn't mean to grab you like that. Are you hurt?"

Sally didn't budge. "I- I can't" she stuttered quietly. She was afraid. Afraid to lose Neva like she lost Cali. When she spoke her breath was shaky.

neva sighed and pulled sally into a hug. " i wanna try and figure this out.."

"I-I can't" she repeated "I can't lose you too. I can't go though that again." She whispered with shaky breath. She was still crying but these were not tear of anger or sadness they were tears of worry.

" you wont lose me sal, i promise! i promise i wont leave you.." she said and held the other a little tighter

"I- I don't I need." Sally stuttered "I- I need some time. To get some things straight first." She told Neva still a little teary eyed. "And it's Sally not Sal."

"whats so wrong with sal?" she asked and let her go " and i understand the time part. we've got about a week till we dock.. if you leave i wont blame you.."

"You go. I need a moment to myself. I need to get myself together and think for a moment." Sally replied "and" she sighed "Sal is my stupid brother's name." She said angrily "and that motherfucker tried to kill me cause he was a officer and I was a pirate what the hell!" She ranted.

neva chuckled a bit. " let me know when your ready " she said solemnly. no matter how calm she looked neva was ready to explode as she walked to eleanors room
