"Every Now and Then We find a special friend, who never let`s us down Who understands It All, Reaches Out each time we fall You're the best friend that I`ve found"

Jack rolled over, and out his hand out to touch Alison. But his hand, fell onto her empty spot. He opened his eyes "Alison" He whispered. The house was silent. "Alison" he called louder. There wasn't a sign off her anywhere. He pounded his pillow "It wasn`t a dream, it couldn`t have been". He jumped out of bed, and went into the living room. "I have to phone Chris" he though. "Hello" Chris asked. "Chris?" Jack asked frantic. "What is it?" Chris asked. "It`s Alison. You were here you saw her right? Please tell me she wasn`t a dream". "No, we saw her" Chris said "Jack what`s wrong?". "She would leave a note" Jack whispered "If she went out she would leave a note. God don`t take her away" Jack begged. "Jack what`s wrong?" Chris asked again. Jack hung up the phone, and raced back into his bedroom. He sniffed and smelled the faint sent of roses "Alison?" he whispered. He hauled on his clothes, and ran out of the house. He had to find her.
"You're the Best Friend That I`ve Found I know you can`t stay But part of you will never ever go away Your heart will stay"

Alison`s eyes, watered as she sat alone at the train station. She looked at her watch, the train would be leaving in an hour, and by that time Jack would be awake, and would know she was gone.

"I`ll make a wish for you And hope it will come true That life will just be kind to such a gently mind"
Jack raced into the only hotel in Port Charles, he banged on the bell. "May I help you?" A women asked. "Alison Barrgton?" Jack asked "What room is she in". The women typed something in on her computer "She checked already" she answered. "No" Jack cried banging his hand on the counter "Thanks anyway" he called running from the buliding. Then it dawned on him. The train station! Alison was at the train station. He quickly jumped into his car and speed towards the train station. He looked at the clock , it was 2. For all he knew she could be gone and he wouldn't have the slight clue where to find her.

"If you lose your way Think back to yesterday Remember me this way Please remember me this way"

Jack raced into the train station. It had took him a half hour just to get there, and he still had to find her. "Excuse me" he asked knocking on the ticket window. "Yes?" A man asked. "Did a women, with long blonde hair buy a ticket here?". "A lot of women with blonde hair, bought tickets here today, sir". Jack sighed "If I showed you a picture could you tell me". "Maybe" The man answered. Jack took his wallet out of his pocket. Under a picture of his little niece Katie, there lay an old picture of Alison. "Here" he said showing the man "This is 2 years old, so she looks older..". "I know her" The man admitted, "She was crying when she bought the ticket. I felt so bad". Jack's heart leapt; she didn't want to leave him. "Where is she?" Jack asked. "On the 2:45 train. It's leaving now". The man pointed out the window, at the train leaving. "No!" Jack exclaimed, running to the door. He ran past the security guards, and onto the leaving platform. "Alison" he cried. The train kept going, Jack watched till the train was no longer visible. "Sir, you have to leave" A man was tugging on his arm "I`m going" Jack sighed sadly.

"I don`t need eyes to see the love you bring to me No matter where I go Remember me this way This way...."

Jack walked up his walkway. Tears were running down his face. "I lost her?" he whispered to himself. "You never lost me" A voice said. Jack looked up, to see Alison sitting on his front step. Her suit case beside her. "Alison" Jack cried rushing over to her. He hugged her close "I though I would never see you again!". "Me to" Alison admitted "That`s why I couldn`t go". "But why?" Jack asked "why would you leave?". "I didn`t want to hurt you". "But you hurt me by leaving" Jack said confused "Alison I love you, you love me. Why would you hurt me". "Not on purpose" Alison sighed "Jack I was sick". "What do you mean you were sick". "I mean I almost died in that plane crash. I became sick, and almost died. The doctors told me that there was a chance I could get sick agian". Jack listened " That`s a chance, Alison a chance. Alison, I love you. I just want to be with you. And knowing you, You`ll live because your strong Alison. You're the strongest person I know". "I love you" Alison said, tears running over her face. "I love you to" Jack smiled sadly taking her I into his arms "And your never leaving me again, you hear". Alison nodded "never".
