The Impact of Songs

Chapter 5: All Or Nothing

Disclaimer: I do not own JAG, even though I wish I did. Nor do I own the song All or Nothing, that belongs to O-Town. I'm just a lover of that song.

Harm went to sit on the couch as Mac shut the door. She could now tell he was nervous about something, but she didn't know what. He sat on the couch not able to sit still for more than a minute. He jump up and started pacing around the living room.

The whole time Mac just stood next to the door, waiting for him to say something, and trying to figure out what it was before he said it. She finally asked, "Would you like anything to drink?"

"Oh, uh...no. Would you just sit here for a minute?" he asked pointing to a chair at her desk.

"Sure." She hesitantly answered.

He was silent for a few seconds. Then he squatted down next to her. "Mac, how do you think of us?"

"In what way do you mean Harm?" She asked completely confused now.

"I mean are we just friends or are we more?" He asked, walking over to her stereo and turning it on to a pop radio station.

The DJ came over the radio and said, "We now have a request. The song is 'All or Nothing' by O-Town. This song goes to Sarah Mackenzie. Sarah you've got a great guy out there, his name is Harmon Rabb Jr." he said as the song started.

I know when he's been on your mind

That distant look is in your eyes

I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over

It's not the way I choose to live

And something somewhere's gotta give

A share in this relationship gets older, older

"Sarah, I don't know why Webb is doing this to you, but I don't like it. I wish that I could make it easier on you." He said walking back over to her.

You know I'd fight for you but how could I fight somone who isn't even there

I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you I don't care if that's not fair

"It's been eight years, I think it's been long enough. It's time for us." He continued.

Cuz I want it all

Or nothing at all

There's nowhere left to fall

When you reach the bottom it's now or never

Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all

"You've called me so many times when he's left you. I don't know why in the world you'd stay with a guy like Webb when he's never there for you."

There are time it seems to me

I'm sharing you with memories

"There are so many memories that we've shared, and so many more that I want to share with you."

I feel it in my heart but I don't show it , show it

Then there's times you look at me

As thought I'm all that you could see

Those times I don't believe it's right I know it , know it

"There are so many times you look at me like that. I've seen it in the court room even. I just wish I could see it everywhere."

Don't make me promises baby you never did know how to keep them well

I had the rest of you now I want the best of you it's time to show and tell

"The best of you is all I want. Please show me Mac. I need you."

Cuz I want it all

Or nothing at all

There's nowhere left to fall

When you reach the bottom it's now or never

Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all

"It's now or never. I have no where left to fall Mac. Without you I have nothing at all."

Cuz you and I

Could lose it all if you've got no more room

No room inside for me in your life

"I would loose it all if you're not with me. You are my life."

Cuz I want it all

Or Nothing at all

There's nowhere left to fall

It's now or never

Again he whispered softly into her ear, his lips brushing her neck, "It's now or never."

Is it all

Or Nothing at all

When you reach the bottom it's now or never

Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all

As the song ended Mac was in tears. Harm had pulled back and she now leant down and kissed him.

Author's note: I'm sorry to all of you who've been waiting for another chapter, but I've decided to stop here. I guess to me it makes sense. Thank you to all of you who've reviewed and if you haven't that's ok too.
