Disclaimer: I don't own anything of so weird, blah blah, leave me alone!!! I wish I owned this! Oh well, now to the story

Where we left off: Annie is afraid of losing Jack especially in death/ Jack just found out Gabe just died.


The silence was dead… just like the girl they just found out about. Jack slowly put down the phone and sat down, unable to move, unable to speak… unable to do anything. He was struck with shock, and the whole world around him just faded… all there was was him, sitting there on the couch with wide disbelieving eyes. He reached for his gold chain that dangled around his neck… the angel pendant hanging by the fine gold. His eyes grew red, and a glaze of tears shielded his site as he rubbed the angel with his thumb. Annie watched as her boyfriend- the same young man who had held her the previous night before trying to calm her down at the thought of death separating two closely linked people, the same young man who had already faced a death before- she watched as he melted down. She was afraid to stand by his side… afraid he would think she wouldn't understand… *his ex girlfriend just passed away, should I try to comfort him? * She thought to herself slightly pushing herself out of her previous position. Soon she was next to the form who buried his head into his hands. With slow, careful movement she gently put her hand on his shoulder only to be nudged away. "I-I'm sorry Jack…" Annie tried to say more but she just trailed off. She then sat down next to him… silent. He soon was mumbling something softly that no one could understand. The chant got louder and louder until Fi spoke up, answering to what Jack was murmuring.
"Jack… I-I don't know… I don't know why this happened. She… she didn't deserve this." Fi looked down shaking her head from side to side. Jack's cries soon turned into mellifluous whimpers as he looked up and sucked in a deep breath. He looked into Annie's eyes, then all around to the grim faces and spoke in a crackling voice.
"We're going to her funeral… we pass by the town on our way to Wyoming. Gabe's father wants me to deliver the eulogy. I'm going to find my suit." With that he walked slowly to his room, and passed Annie completely.
"I'll go tell Ned," Molly said getting up. She strided to the front of the bus slowly… lagging with grief. Irene followed and so did Clu. Annie just sat there, almost like she was waiting for Jack to come back, or like she was waiting to be woken up from a terrible dream. Fi crossed the room and sat next to Annie, and hesitated to speak.
"Ya know… he's just going through a rough spot right now… this doesn't change his love." Annie looked up at Fi with delivering eyes. The message sent was 'thank you.' She smiled and they both got up… leaving their bagels on the table.
