Authors Note: this is probably my worst chapter so far, i have a mind block, but this chapter is about Jac+Joseph. Hope you find it alright...
Chapter10.
Jac Naylor always found working at Holby stressful but when the new sex on legs, Sahira Shah, arrived she felt left out, Jac really wasn't the best one with having a fella or anything like that, she always seemed to make a fool out of herself or the guy just seemed to lose interest in her, but she couldn't think why, she had the perfect figure and the looks to go with it, she had the whole package really, she didn't understand, she knew at times she could be a stuck up cow, or not listening to people but guys just seemed interested, the only guy that was interested wasn't here anymore, he's left and that was Joseph Byrne and Jac truly loved him.
Jac was at home, she didn't see the point in going in, she loved her job but everyone she liked kept drooling over Sahira, Jac's nickname for Sahira was 'the slag' she seemed to get around a bit, Jac knew she had been through alot, but so has she, Jac had a motorcycle accident, which wasn't her fault, she was annoyed at the time so she went off on her ped, she was going the right speed but couldn't see through blurry eyes, went into the wrong side of the road on a bend and collided with another car, she could of died.
Jac could see her phone flashing on her bedside table, it was from Sahira 'im not coming in today Jac, thankyou for everything though, see you next week xx' she really couldn't believe her eyes that Sahira was texting her, she gave her, her number because of Sahiras mums funeral, she didn't want to be alone for it, but she did like Sahira, no matter how many guys she got, Jac didn't care, she was still craving for Joseph, craving for a hug off him, it had been too long, so today, she decided to skive work, not go in, pull a sicky, and Jac never did that.
Jac rang up Holby, figuring out what to say but before she could Chrissie answered the phone,
'Hello, Chrissie Williams here, how may i help you?' Chrissie said in her polite voice.
'Chrissie, it's me, Jac Naylor *cough* im not coming in today, i feel really sick, probably something i ate last night or ive caught the bug going round' Jac failed at pretending but fortunately, Chrissie believed her.
'Oh, okay Jac, thankyou for ringing up, I'll be sure to let Hanssen & Griffin know' she said.
Jac put the phone down, she didn't know what she was going to do, she still had Josephs number in her phone and he never changes his number, so she texted him, she hesitated for a while but she did, in the end, all she put was 'could i see you? I miss you.' She didn't expect a reply so fast, a few minutes later her phone was flashing, she picked it up, shaking, she looked at it, and she could see Josephs name flashing, she opened the message, its read: i miss you too, could you meet me in the local pub we always used to go when we were together? About 2 hours?' was Joseph really being serious? Was Jac about to go meet her ex and be the happiest girl? Had he dumped Faye and the baby? She didn't know what to think, she had to get ready, she got the text half an hour late, so now she had about an hour to get ready and leave half an hour to get there on time, she didn't even know what she was going to wear, so she found her favourite black top and a pair of skinny jeans, she was ready to meet Joseph.
One hour later, she arrived at the pub, she parked her ped, and she found it ridiculous that she had to park in such a big space just for one little motorbike!
'There you are' Jac felt Joseph creep up behind her, she startled.
'Oh, hello, it's been a while' Jac did a faint smile.
'I know, ive missed you so much'
'I've missed you too, and i still love you' Jac blurted out.
'Don't look so shocked, ive miss you too, and i love you!' he exclaimed.
Then went into the pub, sat down and had a drink, they ordered some chips aswel, it was like olden days, where it was just them two, no Faye Morton, or new girl Sahira Shah, just them. It felt good and Jac wanted to stay like this forever, forever in the moment of love, because that's what it was, it was love, love at first sight and love forever, she knew it, he knew it, they both knew it.
'So, how's Faye?' Jac said breaking the silence. 'And the baby?'
'They're okay thankyou for asking...' he trailed off 'we're not together anymore though'
'Oh no, what happened?' Jac said slightly smug at the thought that they had a chance to be together again, but Jac's heart was set to be broken again by the only true person that she loved.
'We just didn't agree on this certain thing... im going to live in Canada, Toronto. Ive got a job there now as a doctor in their most local hospital, im sorry Jac, i leave in 4 weeks, that why i was really happy to get your text, it gives me a chance to say goodbye, properly.' Joseph said this sounding gutted. He really didn't want to leave her, but he had to, and he knew that she wouldn't come with him, Jac loved her job at Holby, and she wouldn't leave it for the world, not even him, even Jac knew that, she wanted to stay at Holby for as long as she could.
A few hours later she had to say goodbye to Joseph, she wanted him to stay, she really did, but she knew she couldn't ask for that, he loved his work and wanted to Travel. She loved her work but wanted to stay put, no matter how much she longed for Joseph.
'goodbye then Jac' Joseph said with a tear in his eye.
'goodbye Joseph' Jac managed to hold back the tears. 'i love you, safe journey'
'i love you too, always.'
They kissed, it was full of passion and desire but yet great sadness, they weren't going to see each other for a long time, maybe never again, and it was hard saying goodbye she never wanted to, ever. It was long kiss, the eventually parted and went their own separate ways, before Joseph left, he whispered in Jac's ear *dont look back okay? When you walk away, dont look back, promise me* as Joseph said that Jac felt the tears brewing, she hated the fact she wasn't going to see him again. *i promise* Jac whispered back.
She walked away, trying so hard not to look back, she got on her Motorbike and sped off, her eyes were blurry, full of tears, she had to stop, she didn't want to crash again, she didn't want to die, because if she died she would never have the chance again to see Joseph.
Jac reached her house, parked her Motorbike, got inside the house and sat on her bed. She sent Joseph a text which read: 'I'll miss you so much, think of me? x' Joseph replied within minutes, with just one simple word 'always x' she had this faint smile on her face, then her phone was flashing, Sahira was calling her, she didn't know whether to pick it up, but she did, through blurry eyes and cracking speech, she managed to say,
'Sahira?'
'Jac, i saw you today, with this man, who was he?' Sahira sounded concerned.
'nobody' Jac's heart was breaking when she said that.
'he must of been somebody Jac? You were crying, i could see it in your eyes, you were really...' Jac cut her off.
'Sahira, please, i just dont want to talk about it, i have to go, i'll see you kin work tomorrow, thankyou for caring but i just need to go, goodbye' Jac hung up on her.
It was 9pm, Joseph was on his flight to Toronto, she couldn't text him, as much as she wanted to, so she lay there, in bed, thinking of Joseph, and thinking off work tomorrow, and with them thoughts in her mind, she slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, Jac loved Joseph, and Joseph loved Jac, that's the only truth Jac knows.
