Chapter 2
I'm making my way up to his office with two cups of coffee in my hands. We are going to sort this out. I asked both Gwen and Lois to go home. They didn't ask me why. They didn't have to. That's the problem with there only being four people at our work – no privacy. In fact they knew more than me. They know why Jack is mad at me, which is why they're avoiding me too.
Suddenly I almost drop the beverages on the floor in shock as the Weevil alarm sounds. Jack runs out of his office struggling to put on his coat. Damn It! He's leaving
"Gwen, there's a Weevil in the city centre. Let's move" Jack says, not looking up as he gathers his things.
"Gwen's gone home" I tell him. He finally looks at me.
"I'll have to go on my own then", he says irritably as he makes to exit.
"I could go with you"
"No" he yells and I can't help but take a step back at the harshness in his voice, "No" he says more softly this time.
"You can't go on your own Jack please just let me ..."
"No" he interrupts, "Just go home Ianto".
He leaves and I'm left all alone again.
Maybe I should go home. Maybe I should just leave him to be mad at me. Whatever he is mad at me about I'm sure he has a good reason, but I need to know. I can't bare it any longer.
One hour later Jack staggers in limping slightly. He looks very weak and pale and I know he has just died. I run over to him and fling my arms around him, resting my head in the crock of his neck. Whenever he dies I get so upset and worried. I know he always comes back but there is still this nagging thought that maybe that was it, that maybe he's actually gone for good.
He lets me cling onto him knowing that I just need to feel him alive and well. After about two minutes he pulls away from my grasp and starts to head up to his office. I have to say something.
"Jack can we talk ", I begin.
"I'm really busy; I've got some paperwork from UNIT that needs doing".
Liar, I give him all the paperwork and we haven't had any in months.
"Can't it wait till tomorrow? I really want to talk to you." I say as calmly as I can muster but can't help the begging tone that's shining through.
"Just go home Ianto", he sighs.
"Are you going to come home tonight?" I ask.
"Like I said I'm really busy, I think I'll just sleep here."
"Jack please ..." I begin
"Ianto, go home" he yells and with that he goes into his office and slams the door. I go home and lie awake in bed all night. Hoping and praying that Jack would come in and tell me everything's going to be ok because right now I'm not so sure.
