Broken Heart

[Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or situations here. I just own the idea]


You think I don't see it.

You think I don't see the way you look at each other. Do you think I'm stupid?

I've known.

I've known every since you both disappeared that night after the strike.

At first I wouldn't believe it. My boyfriend and my own brother? Impossible. But I kept seeing it over and over. Those longing glances, how you both disappeared at night and came back exhausted but happy. I could see the lust as you looked at each other, each of you with more passion in your eyes than I had ever seen before. It was almost like you loved each other. But how could two mere boys commit to each other like that? I never thought it was possible, until that night...

Sarah sat at her chair in the main room, sewing a dress she had not finished at work, it had to be done by the next day. She was concentrating so hard that at first she didn't hear the soft voices coming from the fire escape. It wasnÕt until minutes later, that a moan erupted and she finally took notice. Assuming it was two lovers Sarah quietly walked towards them and planned to send them on their way until she saw their faces.

Jack and..... David! What was going on there?

She was to surprised to move and separate them like she planned so she watched.

The two young men were kissing passionately, unaware they were being watched. After another minute they stopped and Jack looked into David's eyes. "You know I love you, right?"

"Of course."

And I couldn't deny it anymore. At first the thought sickened me. The man I cared for so much loving my brother instead of me. IÕd been so loyal to him! Never even thinking about another man. Even when he was drunk or when he was running from the police, I was there. But it still wasnÕt enough for you.

You were unfaithful, with someone else I cared about. With David.

The irony there was too much. I guess there's something about the Jacobs family, huh Jack? Maybe you'll love Les next. And you'll break David's heart, just as you broke mine.

But you'll never do that. You love him more than you ever did me.

Now I can't even look at you. Whenever I do I see the image of you together. Of you kissing him. Of you loving him.

Why not me? I just as good, no, better than him. Why can't you love me. Why can't you love a women like you're supposed to. But no, you have to love my little brother, the little boy that I watched grow up and now I watch him steal my love.

I've loved you Jack.

I thought I always would. But you've broken my heart. And I can't put it back together.

[A/N: Hm... first fic in a while. I hope you all like it. I'm much more comfortable with poetry but this thingÕs been floating around my head for a while now and itÕs a relief to finally write it down.

All types of reviews are welcome, even flames. Just as long as you tell me why. I live for feedback, the more constructive the better.

And just to tell you, I donÕt hate Sarah. I know basically all the fandom does but Ele Keats just happens to be a horrible actress and she ruined the character. If you read the original script, sheÕs not a bad character.

Plus, Sarah has my name so I have to be a little biased
