Rating: R (Grief, coping poorly, loneliness, swearing)
Jack sits on the floor of the library, in a point farthest away from the door and any of the groupings of chairs. There is a pile of books beside him. He's been reading, trying to keep his mind off other things, unable to sleep even if he'd wanted to try. He doesn't know what else to do at two-in-the-morning, since the last time he'd tried distracting himself, it hadn't turned out well at all, at all.
How many hyper-vodkas did I have that night, anyway?
And then he'd helped make things better with the Doctor, who managed to remove the traces of the Vortex from Rose - and then his other self had 'chatted' with the Time Lord, and nothing was quite the same.
Then the explosion, Rose's death, Artemis gone as well, and so many others that -
No. Read something. Who gives a damn about you anyway? Cope with it, deal with it, Jackie-boy. You killed Rose and the Doctor will never forgive you. You're on your own now.
He scanned the shelves and reached for 'War and Peace', deciding that might get him through the rest of the night.
