DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS
AND A YEAR
Summary: Days, weeks, months and a year go by
and Annie is no where to be found. Jack has never stopped looking for her and dose not know if she is dead or alive.
JACK'S P.O.V.
"So what's going on with you and Annie?" My mom asked as Fi, Clu and Carey came walking up. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Why have you two been inseparable?" Mom asked. "I just happened to be the first person she called. I...I..." I began. "There's more to her coming home isn't there?" Carey asked. "Why are you asking me all these questions?" I asked. "We're just trying to figure out why, Annie would call you first and... not her parents." Clu told me. "Why don't you ask, Annie?" I suggested and walked away, a few minutes later I found myself outside.
THIRD PARTY P.O.V.
BACK INSIDE...
"What was that about?" Molly asked worried about her son. "I don't know, he's been acting strange since Annie got back." Carey replied. "He's in love with, Annie." Fi told them and they all turned to look at her. "What?" Molly asked. "He is in love with, Annie and has been for years." Fi replied. "How did you find that out?" Molly asked. "Annie told me a few months before she left. She told me she loved Jack and I saw they way he looked at her, before she left. The same way he looks at her now." Fi said surprising everyone with how much she knew. "F...Fi, how do you know so much about what is happening?" Molly asked. "I talked to Jack a couple of days, before Annie came back. I got it out of him that he still loves her. Every since Annie left we've had to drag him out of his apartment and now he is always with her." Fi said. "Except for right now. I..." Molly began as Ned and Irene walked over. "Hey, what's going on? Where did Jack go?" Irene asked. "Outside, I'm going to see if..." Molly began. "Just give him a little time to himself." Irene advised.
JACK'S P.O.V.
I was sitting on the porch steps, when I heard the door open.
"Jack?" It was Annie. "What?" I asked. "Are you all right?" Annie inquired. "Depends...are you going to keep kicking me?" I asked. "Kicking you? Jack, what are you talking about?" Annie asked. "I tell you that I love and you say that you love me to, but then you turn around and say we can't be together. Can I ask you a question and get a straight answer?" I asked. "Sure." Annie replied sitting down. "Do you love me or not? I'm tired of you saying you love me and then the next minute saying, you don't want to be with me. Because of some psyco wants to hunt you down and kill you. I'll protect you..." I started to say, but Annie cut me off. "I do love you, Jack. I'm just..." Annie began. "I know you don't want me to get hurt and I can't promise you that I won't. If you don't want us to be together, I have to find someone else." I said as I glanced at her. "Jack, I want to be with you, but if you want to move on...I can't stop you." Annie told me, tears in her eyes. "Is that what you want me to do, move on?" I asked. "No, but if we get involved right now. He will kill you." Annie told me and I could see the pain in her eyes. "He won't kill me...I'm moving on." I told Annie and started to get up. "Jack, wait." Annie said grabbing my hand and I looked at her. "Annie, I can't keep waiting you to decide if you want to be with me or not. One day you say you love me and the next day you're trying to protect from your rapist. I can't do this anymore." I told and started to walk away from the house and Annie. "Jack, this time I won't change my mind."Annie said catching up with me. "Change your mind how?" I asked not looking at her. "I love you and I want to be with you. Can you give me a chance to prove to you what I just said?" Annie asked and finally looked at her.
I stopped and looked at her, she looked sincere...I didn't know what to think.
"All right, but this is the last chance." I told her.
I looked at her and she looked at me, then in the next moment we kissed. After a minute I pulled and she smiled.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to kiss you." Annie told me. "I do, because I've waited just as long." I told her and a surprised look came across her face. "What?" Annie asked. "Come on, let's get back inside or everyone is going to come looking for us." I said taking her hand and leading her back to the house.
