Weird, I write a lot of Jonas stuff…anyway this has some spoilers from Redemption Part 2 so yeah…just a warning. Don't own Stargate or Nothing Left to Say. It takes place a few minutes before Jack tells Hammond Jonas is going to be Daniel's substitution on SG-1. Onwards to the story...

"Sir," said Sam running to catch up with her CO, "I saw you talking with Jonas, are you considering…" she let her unspoken question loom in the air.

"No," Jack said, he turned the hallway when a dull thud came from nearby.

Curiously Jack wandered towards it, to his surprise he found Jonas in what used to be Daniel's office. Another thud was heard, Jack peaked into the room and found Jonas was throwing what appeared to be a pillow against the far wall. Jonas then stopped, he didn't fetch the pillow back, and he just sighed.

"I want to go home," he whispered, Jack only heard the word home.

"Home sick, typical," mumbled Jack; he turned to leave when Jonas began talking to himself again.

"Why doesn't he like me? Why doesn't anyone like me?" Jonas cried softly "why do they keep me here? I just want…I don't know what I want."

Jack listened some more, this was a side that Jack had never seen of the young alien, he was always happy, but then again Jack avoided him quite a bit. Jonas stood up and pushed a button on a stereo, it was a song Jack had never heard before.

I've been looking on the bright side
I've been trying to remember
I've been thinking of the good times,
but they seem so far away,

Jonas laughed awkwardly "You have no idea," Jack crept closer to the slightly opened door.

And you used to be someone,
that I could always count on
but now you only count on me.
It's like I don't even know you and you don't even care,
It's like I lost you somewhere.

And I, I'm trying to be your friend,
and I'm doing the best I can,
but sometimes I don't understand why you …
Why you're asking me to stay, when you're pushing me away
In the silence here between us
There's nothing left to say
Oh there's nothing left to say.

"I wish I could tell this to Colonel O'Neill," Jonas said picking up the pillow and placing it on the chair.

Oh day in and day out,
I've been hoping things would change
I've been showing you a way out
But you slammed the door on me
You used to be someone, who laughed until you cried
Ah now you just cry, you just cry
It's like I don't even know you and you don't even care,
It's like I lost you somewhere.

"Does this guy ever have insight," Jonas sighed in frustration.

Jack looked at the alien, everybody has the right to cry or be in pain, but was he in this much pain because of him? Jonas had brought the Naquadria back only because Jack had told him to do the right thing, now he was ignoring him.

"I'm being no better than the Kelownans," thought Jack, "I'm blaming Jonas because it's convenient for me."

So how long should I try,
To break my way inside and drag you back into the light
'Cause it's tearing me apart and I'm feeling I should start thinking of you
And I'm trying to be your friend,
And I'm doing the best I can, doing' the best I, doing' the best I
There's nothing left to say.

"But I should be happy," Jonas said walking around the room, "I did the right thing, I helped save Earth, the SGC is giving me food, shelter, chances to study things I never imagined, and here I am complaining."

Jack opened the door, Jonas didn't even noticed, he was too busy rattling onto himself about why he should be grateful.

"Jonas," said Jack letting his presence known.

"Sir?" Jonas asked in surprise, "I…uh…"

That was it; there was nothing left to say.

Jack left and headed towards General Hammond's office, he had a few things to discuss with him.
