Author: Englemyer

A/N: Ok, so I had reviews telling me I should write more to this. So I took it into consideration and decided I should. Thanks to everyone for reviewing I really appreciated the feed back, so after this chapter I am not sure if I will right more depending on what you guys want so. Jacks POV

JACK'S POV!

Nothing beats a beer after a long days work. I'd like to officially call myself bummed and pooped. Yes, did I actually say pooped, because I meant it. I thought as I sat down on my couch. I opened my beer and flicked the lid into the fireplace. It's not like my mum was going to walk in any second anyway…was she.

I sat staring at the TV; the Simpson's was on…excellent. I sit there staring at the screen and snigger every now and then at Homer's remarks. God, and Daniel thinks I'm dense.

I look at my watch and I see the time. Must be a rerun. I kept chuckling at Patty and Selma and the MacGyver fetish. They seriously need to get a life. "Poor side show Bob never stood a chance against MacGyver." I say to myself.

An hour past two episodes later. It was getting late, I should probably head up to bed. But what if something happens? Ah…never mind, Carter will think of something.

I slowly dose off. The phone rings. I turn around and look at the clock. "For cryin out loud its 0200. By the time I get to the phone it rings four times. I pick it up. No one speaks on the other end. I here them breathe, and then hang up.

I read the message on the screen of the phone. It read 'CARTER'. "Oh crap, what's wrong with her." I murmur quietly to myself slightly worried.

I find some jeans and put a jumper on. I pull on my boots and don't bother tying them up. I grab my keys and head out the front door.

I start the car and head straight for her house. I have all these images running through my fron…funny…through my head on what could possibly be wrong.

I pull up in her drive way behind her car. I pass a 4 wheel drive parked beside the nature strip outside of Carter's house. There is a man in the car on a mobile phone.

I knock on the window. He winds it down and puts his finger up to tell me to wait a minute. I stand there in silence. He puts down the phone.

"Hi." He says to me with a genuine smile.

"Hey, is there any reason why you're out here?" I ask getting straight ti the point. I don't want prowlers out side of Carter's house.

"Um..Ah" He stutters.

"Well?" I ask.

"Your Jack right?" He asked. How did he know that.

"What, do I have my name pinned on my head?" I ask sarcastically.

"No, Sam's inside. I was just going." He says casually.

"I take it you're Pete?"

"Yep." He looked down at his watch.

"Would you look at the time I better be going." He wound up his window and drove off.

Ok…that was weird…hmm.

I walked to Sam's front door. I went to tap on the door but noticed it was open. I walked through to the lounge room where she was sitting in a ball on her couch.

She turned and looked at me.

"Carter what's wrong?" I sit down next to her.

"Nothing." She replied sharply.

"Right, so why did you call me?"

"I didn't call you." She replied plainly…but she was sooo lying.

"Caller ID Carter." I said sarcastically. I realized I had just stumped her… the smartest person in the universe, and I stumped her. Way to go O'Neill, 5 points.

"So, why don't you tell me what's wrong?" I asked more seriously as she didn't respond to my sarcasm. What was wrong with her.

"I can't." She replies.

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because I am so stupid to think I could have a relationship with anybody." Did she just blurt that out. Surprisingly I have no idea what she's on about. Yet she is avoiding my eyes. This is getting under my skin now.

"What did he do to you?" Did that just leave my mouth. OOPS. Why am I worried about her.

"Nothing, it's what I did to him." Ok…breathe Jack. What did she do.

"And that is?"

"It's all your fault." Ok…angry Carter not a good sign.

"What?" I said innocently.

"What did I do to you?" I ask slightly annoyed.

"It's your fault because you're like a drug, it's like I am stuck, it's like I am running from you all the time. I can't breathe without you beside me. But worst of all, I can't be with anyone else because as soon as I get close to them I wreck it because your in the back of my mind saying 'I care about her a lot more then I'm suppose to'." Oh crap…my fault alright.

"What brought this on?" I ask not sure whether I want to know the answer or not. Is it getting uncomfortable in here, or is it just me. I shift slightly on the couch.

"Well, if you have to know, I was getting really close with Pete, he really liked me you know. He was kissing me." Ok way too much information, I really don't want to know this…really shouldn't have asked.

I raise my eyebrows so high that I think she got the hint and stopped talking.

"Carter I don't see how that is all bad." I am now officially worried about her next response after her last answer.

She finally is looking straight into my eyes, I could get lost in hers forever. She continues to stare at me. I try not to smirk because it is meant to be a serious conversation and all. But I can feel my lips twitching…and I am sure she can see it.

And that was it. I was a goner…I was in love with her am I an idiot or what.

"I said your name. I called him Jack." Did she just say what I thought she said?

I just look at her. No she couldn't have said that.

"What?"

A/N: I hope that was as good as the last one. Thanks for all the reviews I really, really appreciated them! I will hopefully write and epilogue to this really soon!
