Never Let Go
By: Panda
Summary: Harm tells Mac to try again.
Disclaimer: JAG ain't mine, neither is the song, it's sung by the amazingly talented and very good-looking Josh Groban.
"He left me." Mac said as she stood in Harm's doorway, tears streaking her olive complection. "He left me. Broke my heart and I'll never love again. I'm finished." Harm wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
"He didn't deserve you Mac. He let you go, he must be amazingly stupid to do that." Mac clung to him and cried. And he let her, just let her let it all out. He didn't ask any questions, he just let her cry.
Two hours later, they were sitting on the couch, coffee mugs in hand. Mac told him how they fought again, this time he left. It was over. There wasn't anything there anymore. It was really over.
"I can't love anymore Harm. I've had my heart broken for the last time. I won't do this anymore."
Harm looked in her eyes and on the radio, a soft song began to play.
"I can't understand it.
The search for an answer is met with a darker day.
And we've been handed these moments forever.
But I'm reassured there's another way.
You don't have to close your eyes.
There is room for love again.
Ease the pain to realize
All that love can be.
Forced apart by time and sand.
Take a step and take my hand.
And don't let it go.
Never let go."
"Mac, Brumby is one man. One man who didn't know how good he had it. He let you go. He is the one that is missing out on a good thing. Just because he was that stupid doesn't mean that you have to give up on happiness forever. Here, Mac, take my hand. I'm not gonna let go if you don't." He took her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. She let a small smile grace her face again.
"Broken, once connected,
We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way.
So don't let me go it alone.
Turn your head up to the sky.
Nothing down below but me.
Face the truth to realize
All that we could be.
Torn apart by rage and fear.
Hold onto what brought you here.
Don't let it go.
Never let go.
Turn your head up to the sky.
Nothing down below.
Don't let go."
"Mac, I've loved you forever, but I wanted you to be happy. So when you said you found someone, I didn't step in your way. But he left you. He did a stupid thing. And he hurt you. But I'm not going to let anyone hurt you ever again. I promise. Just hold on to me, and never let go. I'll make you happy and you won't have to look anymore. I'll always be here." He kissed her fore head and look in her eyes. She smiled and through herself in his arms.
"I'm here, and I'll never let go."
