NOVEMBER 14
Gwen's room • Late evening
TBC • In Progress Catching up |
With the way he kept disappearing and turning up months, sometimes even years later, Jack honestly wondered sometimes why Gwen Cooper even put up with him. Ever since having dinner with her and Anwen, he'd felt like a complete jerk for running off after completing their last mission. He could claim it was to give Rhys and Gwen space to work things out, but it was because he was being selfish. He was running away from having to deal with the aftermath of what he'd felt while working with and seeing her again.
It had been bad enough when he'd seen her sedated and restrained in the hospital after she'd attacked Rhys. But when Jack had found her on the pier ready to kill herself, it had felt like he was losing his entire world. Things had worked out in the end, but Jack had promised that it would be the both of them together for a long time. He'd broken that promise by disappearing. Again. And when he did come back each time, it was never about Torchwood. It was about her: the woman he loved more than a sister, more than a lover, more than a friend, more than his life now and forever. It was always about Gwen Cooper. Jack sighed and knocked on the door, looking down at his boots as he tried to wrap his head around everything that had happened since they last saw each other. One thing was for certain though... Gwen and Anwen were family and he was going to look after them. |
