-Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to the t.v. show "Will and Grace" or the song "What If I Said" by Anita Cochran and Steve Wariner.

- This story is based on the song "What If I Said" which I feel is perfect for Will and Jack with a little changing of words of course which isn't really much, I am also going to add the chorus in a couple spots to make it work better for the story, the parts of the song are in italics, after the story is complete I will post the original lyrics.

Scene 1- Will's Apartment

Will is asleep in front of the television, he wakes up and goes to the kitchen for a drink. He takes a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and then notices the time. It is 7 p.m.

Will: 7:00! How did I ever manage to sleep that long?

He then realizes the answer is because like usual he hadn't been interrupted by Grace or Jack. He knew Grace was out of town but that didn't explain why Jack hadn't come over, he then realized that he hadn't seen Jack all day, in fact he hadn't seen him since before his date with Stuart last night. Will put the bottle of water down on the counter and rushed across the hall. He knocked on Jack's door.

Will: Jack

He got no answer.

Will: Jack, are you there?

He had to be there, he started to get worried something was wrong.

Will: Jack, I know your there, Karen is with Lyle and Stuart left this morning to visit his family.

Will turned the knob and found the door was unlocked. He walked into the apartment but didn't see Jack anywhere, he checked the bedroom but he wasn't there either, so he checked the balcony and saw Jack sitting there quietly. He had a very sad look on his face and it was easy to tell that he had been crying. The sight broke Will's heart. He went to him and put his hand on his shoulder.

Will: Jack

Jack: Go away, Will, I want to be alone.

Will: Jack , what's the matter?

Silence.

Will: Jack, tell me what's wrong, did you have a fight with Stuart?

Jack: He broke up with me. He met someone new.

Will couldn't believe it, how could Stuart do this.

Will: Ah Jack, I'm so sorry.

Jack: It's okay, I guess I'm just not worthy of someone's love.

Will: Jack, that's not true.

Jack: It is.

Will: Jack…

Jack: Will don't, okay, I'm not up to it, I just want to be alone.

Will: But Jack…

Jack: I don't want to talk about it Will, besides you wouldn't care to hear it anyway, please go away.

Will: Jack

Jack: Willll

The last thing Will wanted to do was leave Jack alone like this, but he knew from personal experience that sometimes when you heart was broken you just wanted to be alone, he also knew that unwanted company could sometimes do more harm than good.

Will: (reluctantly) Ok, but if you want to talk, or if you need anything come over.

Jack didn't say anything, he just stared straight ahead. Will signed and reluctantly left.

Will goes into his apartment and slams the door violently.

Will: Damn It!

How could Stuart do this to Jack, just toss him aside for another guy like that and now Jack's sitting in his apartment thinking he's not worthy of love, it was enough to make him sick. Will couldn't stand seeing Jack in pain, it tore his heart out, just remembering that look on Jack's face and the tears in his eyes made it feel like someone had crushed his heart into a million pieces. He was tired of seeing men come and go in Jack's life, seeing him get hurt every time the guy he thought was the "one" ended up not being the one. All he wanted was for Jack to be happy, he cared more about Jack's happiness then his own he realized. How could Jack think I don't care, I care more than anything, doesn't he realize that…

Will: Oh my god! I'm in love with Jack!

The shock of that realization nearly knocked him over. All these years he thought he knew how he felt about Jack, that he wanted to be friends and never ever anything more. How could all of a sudden he feel different, he didn't how but he did, and he knew it was true because the thought of Jack made him feel all happy, he was also still pissed off at Stuart for hurting Jack like he did, but he was also a little grateful, he didn't know how he would handle seeing Jack with anyone now. He also wondered, what do I do, should tell him, how would he react? Then a horrible thought came to his mind.

What if I lose everything I have with Jack because of this, what if he don't feel the same and we don't feel comfortable around each other anymore. Will didn't know what to do?

We've been friends for a long long time.

You tell me your secrets and I tell you mine.

He's left you all alone and you feel like no one cars

But I've never failed you I've always been there.

What if I told you

What If I said

That I love you

How would you feel

What would you think

What would we do

Do we dare to cross that line

Between your heart and mine

Or would I lose a friend

Or find a love that would never end

What if I said
