CH2

Most of the ride to his cabin was ridden in silence. Sam wanted to say something to comfort him, to ease his pain in any way she could.

She knew there was nothing she could say that would. She could see him out of the corner of her eye, he was driving; and casting all his attention on the road infront of him.

Every few minutes she could see him rub his eyes with his hand. He wanted to cry, she knew this. She also knew that he wouldn't not infront of her, not infront of any of them.

The car came to a stop when they had reached the drive way of his cabin, and for a minute they just sat there. He leaned back in his seat,

still looking to the front.

Sam looked at him real quick.

"Sir. Jack, if you wan't, need to talk, you know I'm always here for you." She said finally breaking the deafening silence which had haunted them

the whole drive there.

"Yeah, I know Major." His voice was so low that she could barley hear what he was saying. He seemed to choke over every word that came out.

He quickly and silently turned off the engine to the car, and got out. She followed his actions, walking closley behind him as they made their way to the front door.

She didn't say anything about the party, maybe she should...........

"SURPRISE!!!!!"

To late.

A/Note: Again this is to be continued, and sorry seconed chapter so short.
