A/N: Hi, I'm back again today! So Helen gave me this song ages ago in one of our conversations with Emma and I finally got round to getting the lyrics and everything and then found out I really enjoy the meaning of the lyrics in terms of songfics.

Fight For This Love – Cheryl Cole

***

Too much of everything eventually made Jackie ill; too much wine, too many calories, work, TV, and worst of all Robbie. Being with Robbie every day wasn't suffocating or over the top or truthfully anything bad. She felt awful because all they both wanted was to be with the other and she was ruining it but she was worried. To be exact it was knowing that Robbie loved her which was worrying. She could get seriously hurt if they screwed their relationship up now. She had no idea what she was supposed to do in this situation; run away or try and say aloud the words she was afraid of. It was like a curse put upon her.

Jackie couldn't understand if it was better or worse to know that she could never leave Robbie and that she would have to say the three little words sometime. But they were moving backwards now. Ever since Robbie had admitted how he felt about her and she hadn't responded he was hardly speaking to her. She didn't know what she was supposed to do, she couldn't tell him how she felt or she would lose all the barricades that she had built around her heart to protect it from loving men, in particular Robbie. She placed her head in her hands, not bothering about the pile of work in front of her on her desk.

Jackie knew that she wanted their relationship to keep going and improving but she was scared. It was all going far too quickly. They were already talking about the future but all Jackie really wanted was to live for the moment; enjoy the surprises that a new day with Robbie could bring. But she thought that if she told him all this that they might crash and fall apart and she didn't want that. That was the one thing she was sure of.

Robbie looked over at Jackie. He could guess what she was debating in her brain and all he wanted to do was wrap his arms around her familiar body and tell her that she wasn't in this thing alone. That he would always be there so that she could have something to call home forever. He wanted them to go right back to the start because he could see that they both felt as though they were growing apart.

He watched as she looked straight up at him, as if sensing that he had been staring for a while. They both felt that this relationship was more than worth having, so didn't that mean that it was definitely worth fighting for? As their eyes kept a hold of the others' ones they knew that they could never quit or bail out of it. They could see in each other's dark eyes that they were both determined to fight some more because it had only got tough; they were nowhere near finished yet.

Later that day, after they had finished work, Robbie had took Jackie back to his flat and they were now stood in his living room, just looking at each other until Robbie finally broke the silence, "We are worth fighting for Jackie. If I know nothing else I know that we're worth having."

He went over to her and hesitantly put his arms around her torso. Jackie gently brought her arms up and laced them around his neck.

Jackie felt his arms go tighter round her as she rested her cheek on his shoulder. Everyday wasn't going to be as good or easy as a picnic or a walk in the park. She kissed his collarbone and neck, they would make the best of what they had now and Robbie knew it too so he shifted her head to make it easier for him to kiss her. When she sensed his lips on hers she knew that she would never be able to be afraid of the dark times that were certainly going to come between herself and Robbie.

She hugged her body closer to his, wanting to stay in this make-shift home for the rest of her life, loving the fact that she wasn't in this by herself. Robbie was just as scared. It was like how they were in the beginning, just having fun and being comfortable while wrapped in their lover's embraces.

They had no idea where they were heading with their relationship but they were both willing and ready to go for it.

He ran a hand down the side of her face and she moulded into him before building up the courage needed to tell him what she had to do sooner or later, "I do love you Robbie but we need to slow down a little. God, can't we just wake up, eat, go to work, come home and give each other treats every now and then for a few months without contemplating where we're going to end up?"

He gave her a lop-sided grin, "Of course we can Jacks. I just thought you liked things being planned out so I was always trying to make sure I knew what was going on."

She looked up into his eyes as she made herself taller so her lips could reach his.

"I think this is the first time that I don't want anything to be planned beforehand. I like the random acts that you do for me. I even like the unexpected fights that we have to go through for this love. We can't quit now."

Their lips moved in for another kiss, attempting to gain control over the other. This kind of fight was one that they would enjoy every time that they had to.
