A/N Okay this is the second in a series of fics in which the JAG characters
hear a song that reminds them of something that is happening in their
lives. Mac is leaving for Paraguay with Webb when she hears "Leaving on a
Jet Plane" by Chantal Kreviazuk. I don't own the characters, and even if I
did I would not know what to do with them.
This was the first or second episode I ever watched of JAG, so please excuse me if something is wrong and tell me about it.
****** Mac sat on the private plane to Paraguay listening to the Armageddon soundtrack that someone had given her for her birthday. She did not know why she even had it with her; it only had a couple of songs that she liked. She was reviewing the events that occurred over the last couple days when a song filtered into her pensive state.
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
She could see herself standing outside his apartment, dreading the coming conversation. She was so full of emotions, fear, pain, love. She knew that she would be unable to keep her feelings at bay.
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
She had to get going. Too much time had already been wasted. If only the rest of the conversation had gone as she had planed.
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
The song was right, how stupid that sounds, how stupid she felt. She should have just told him. Told him the truth, what she really wanted to say. Oh god how much she loved that man.
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every person she dated since she had met him had been a lie. If she could only tell him.
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
Sarah Mackenzie sighed. It was true, she could not get him out of her mind. She thought about him everywhere but in court. But she knew that there was one line that would not come true. Even if she told him, he would never accept her, a Jarhead. Especially after the scene she just caused in his apartment.
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
She would love to hug him, to be totally covered in is arms, to let her guard down and share her true feelings with him.
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
There would be no goodbye kiss for her, only sharp words thrown as she walked out his door, maybe for the last time.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...
Dreams would be the only things she had. He would never be hers, she might as well accept it.
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane
As she listened to the last lyrics fade away she might have done something that would have ruined her reputation as a kick-six marine until she noticed Webb staring at her strangely. "Spook just what exactly are you looking at?" She demanded, hoping that he had not noticed her far too sentimental feelings.
"Oh, I don't know. I just never thought I would hear you, of all people, humming the lines of Chantal Kreviazuk version of leaving on a jet plane." He replied in a far to smirk manner.
"Well I never thought that you would be able to recognize that song from just a few, simple notes. Maybe you aren't so tough as you seem." Mac countered quickly. She hoped that her remark had covered the embarrassment she felt.
Now ignoring Webb all together she looked out her window, wishing for one man's arms to be around her right now and cure all fears that this mission brought. And she let a single tear through her tough walls, knowing that she would never be able to have Harmon Rabb Jr. And she pressed the back button on the CD player to listen to the far too familiar song once again.
**** Please R&R
