Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood or the song…Nooooooooo!!!!
A/N: I was listening to this song and I just couldn't help but write this when I saw 1x13 of Torchwood…Oh, and there's slight Janto there…And spoilers for said episode.
Enjoy!
P.S. The title of the song is Against All Odds, performed by Phil Collins.

It's been a week, since he left…Something's taken him, Jack's gone. As soon as Gwen said that, I knew Jack went willingly. Hub would be a lot messier if some aliens or humans tried to took him by force. There would certainly be some bullet holes, but Gwen didn't hear any shots being fired, just a strange noise. Like a siren. I checked the tapes from CCTV's and I couldn't see anything, except one second, when Jack dissapeared into thin air, I caught a glimpse of a blue box.
I knew he wouldn't bother to come back for anything, now that he was with him. I went down to the Ianto's domain a.k.a. archives, just to check and confirm my suspicions. And as usually I was right. It was the Doctor. I've heard a lot about him back at Torchwood One, especially when the invasion of Daleks and Cybermen happend. Jack isn't coming back and I have to accept that. Better sooner than later.
I walked back down to the archives and to distract myself with something, I turned on the radio and I sat down into leather armchair Tosh bought me for Christmas. I closed my eyes and let the music take me away.
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all .
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face.
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face.
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry .
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why .
You're the only one who really knew me at all .
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space.
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face.
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face.
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here.
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take.
Take a look at me now...
I felt one single tear sliding down my cheek, I raised my hand and wiped it away. There's something I must face… You coming back to me is against all odds Jack.
