(Jack's Appartment)
Sue knocked on the door hoping he would come soon. Then he opened the door and she saw him. "Jack, can I come in?"
Jack moved to the side and let her in "What are you doing her? I thought you would be sleeping seeing as you're going to New York tomorrow."
"Jack don't talk, just listen." They made their way into the living room and sat down on the couch "The last time we talked you said a lot of things that made me think. With the cases when it was emotional for me I always wanted you to comfort me, you never did but I kind of knew what you were think by just looking into your eyes. You also said that it was hard for you to see me with other men, for me it was seeing you with Ally and Jessica and any women you met. It really hurt me when they were there, you were always trying to get me to come to dinner or stay for dinner when they were here, and I would always say no. but when Jessica was here you left wit her to go to dinner after you left Lucy encouraged me to go along and when I got to the restaurant, I saw you there and I read your conversation. You were talking about how it was when you were together, when I saw that, because I knew that we wouldn't have anything like that. But the one thing that you have ever done that really hurt, is when you told me you loved me and didn't want to pursue any relationship."
"Sue..."
"No, I'm not done. You walked out without giving me any chance to say that... I love you Jack Hudson... from the day I met you. When you looked up at me with those brown eyes. It was instant, I never felt that way about any of the men I went out with. I wanted to tell you so long ago, but it was never the right time. Everyone knew but you. I always wonder why you didn't see it, see how I acted different around you then anyone else. Then you kissed me that night, I know it was because Janice was coming but I knew it was real. That made me want to come to work everyday to see if you would try again but you never did."
"Then you had your heart attack, I wanted to tell you how I felt then because i didn't want to lose you without you knowing the way I felt about you. But before I could get the chance, Ally came in and you wanted her to look after you. I've always wondered why you chose her and not me. Why Jack? Why did you chose her and not me? I could have done all the same things for you. I wanted to. So just tell me why?"
"I ... I guess i chose her because I knew her, and I wanted someone who I really knew, something familiar. But after that I knew that I had made the wrong chose. I should have never done that, it should have been you."
"Jack... I understand, I do. Things were going to quick between us. Our relationship was already getting more different then it started out to be. But now it's going to change even more, with me leaving for New York. I wish I could stay i really do, but I need this job."
"I know Sue. It's just... it wont be the same without you on the team. It's not like your going there for another case and will be back when it's done. I wont be able to see your beautiful face every morning, or go and met you in the park and just talk. It's going to be so different. It just wont be the same anymore."
"Jack, I will always be able to come and visit. But it will be harder on me more then you. I'll be leaving everyone having to start all over again, but I will always remember the times we had together. But there will be no one else like you, Myles, bobby, Lucy, Tara, or D. I'm going to miss everyone, but I wont this job."
She then got up to leave with tears running down her face when Jack turned her to face him. He lend forward and kissed her, putting his arms around her waste he pulling her closer. When they parted Jack said " I'll never give up on you. No one will ever take the place in my heart for you." Then he pulled her into a hug while she cried into his chest.
Sue then made her way to the door, but before she left she gave Jack one final kiss and said "You will always be in my heart for ever." Then walked out the door and down to her car.
Jack closed the door and went back to the couch. He pulled out a book from under the cushion and opened it and finished writing his letter to the director in New York.
All the way home Sue cried to herself, replay what had just happened between them, and rethink her chose of going to New York. Before she went up to her appartment she dried her eyes so Lucy wouldn't ask any questions if she was still up. When Sue got up to the appartment she went and got her things ready for her trip in the morning. When she was getting her bag out of the closet she found the gift that she was going to give to Jack before she left. She took it out of the closet and wrote and not for Lucy to bring it to work with her tomorrow and give it to him. She then finished packing then put on her jersey and pj pants and went to bed.
