AUTHOR NOTES: I will not be finishing this story, I kind of lost inspiration but I'll post the three chapter up which I did write and you can tell me how I did. Set whenJack and Ronnie move in, without the whole Selina issue.
That night, as Ronnie was carrying her bags across to Jack's flat her phone began to ring.
"I need you, now, at the club. There's someone here to see you."
"Okay, wait there," said Ronnie, dropping her bags, she dashed to the club, to find Jack standing behind the bar staring at a man. That man was Archie. "Get out. NOW!" demanded Ronnie, furious that this man, the man that brought years of misery into her life has the cheek to return. She looked away, disgusted at what stood before her. Jack walked over to Ronnie and held her close, protecting her, he thought something was going to happen.
"She said out. So if I were you, I would go," said Jack, obviously intending to do damage if this man did not go.
"FINE. But Ronnie, I will get you one day. Just remember that. I will..." And at that, Archie left without another word. Jack follows him, making sure he is gone completely, before returning to Ronnie. He held her close as she cried on his shoulder. I'm always here for you, he thought.
"Ron, don't cry anymore, I'm here. I won't let him hurt you, I never will," soothes Jack. I do love Jack, but sometimes...sometimes everything HAS to be ruined..., thought Ronnie, This was supposed to be the night Jack would surprise Ronnie, not anymore...
"What are we going to do about your surprise?" questioned Ronnie. She really didn't want to have ruined this night because ONE man had come back, a man she wanted to forget and put into the past. She wanted everything to vanish, to be gone.
"I couldn't care less if that man came, this surprise will happen, Ron!" said Jack excitedly, while leading Ronnie into the VIP area. He dimmed the lights and as Ronnie walked through the door she saw it. There were many candles, uncountable, lit around the room, and also a table in the middle with a meal for two laid down, still warm. Halfway through the meal, Jack takes a deep breath, and stands up, looking Ronnie he goes down on one knee. I hope she really loves me and wants to be with me badly enough to say yes, thought Jack, worried at what the answer would be. "Veronica Mitchell, will you marry me?" Jack asked, with a sparkle in his eyes, that loving sparkle that Ronnie had always looked at in his eyes.
