Chapter 5- wish

(This chap is based 3 months after my last chap)

Jack sat curled up on the couch watching TV, well not really watching TV but, the TV was on. His mind would wonder. His eyes wondered over to the coffee table set in the middle of his living room. There on the table was his RENT soundtrack. He saw the movie a few days ago with Sam, Daniel, Janet, Cassie and Teal'c. He just fell in love with the songs and story but, one thing disturbed him a bit. The song "Will I?" Then he turned off the TV, pausing before picking up the soundtrack. He turned on the stereo and popped it in.

He just sat there listening to the words. He had it blasting. Thank god no one was watching him! Daniel for sure would have a headache by now, Teal'c still wouldn't understand what the whole thing meant, and sam would be working and jack wouldn't have put it on in the first place, he wouldn't want to disturb her from her work. The first CD of RENT had gotten to the song he dreaded, he liked the song but, it scared him about the future and what would happen. Jack sat down on the couch, and accidentally sat on the remote for the stereo and that caused the song to go on repeat.

So jack listened to the song over and over again, before breaking down and crying. The song just kept playing until Jack turned it off. "It's time to take action." Jack said to himself as he turned on his computer in search of a Life Support group, lucky for him he found one. "Open for anyone, to discuss life, Where- Colorado Springs park (If nice out) When- Every week at 6:00 PM except on Weekends." Jack read out loud, then looked at the clock. "Well I guess I'll see what it's like." Jack said, then he got his jacket and left to go to the meeting.

At the meeting-

"Hello everyone, and welcome, How about we go around and learn everyones name, I am Kelly Joshington." Kelly introduced herself. "I'm Albert Decofa." The next person said. (A/N- People you should get the picture by now, everyone's telling everyone else their names and they are going in order so the guy that just said his name was and the right side of Kelly OK?") "The name's John kef." The next man said "Willard Joseph." Said the man next to John. "Charity Colle." Said the women next to Willard. "Dina Marsh." Said the women next to Charity. "Hi, I'm Jack O'Neill." Jack said his voice shaky. "Ok let's begin." Kelly said.

"Let's start this meeting by, making wishes, everyone take a piece of paper and write down your wish, you can share if you want but, you don't have to." Kelly said everyone took a piece of paper, and moments later, "who would like to share?"

Jack raised his hand. "Yes, Mr. O'Neill." Jack stood up. "You can just call me Jack, uh, my wish is um," Jack cleared his throat. "My wish is to live, to see all that I want to see, to make confessions about things that most people forgot about, to get in touch with my parents, to be able to do anything I want. I ain't ready to die yet, not yet and you can bet I'm gonna hang on and live this life to its fullest extent." Jack finished with tears in his eyes. He looked around; he saw a lot of people nodding their heads in agreement. "Thank you jack." Kelly said, jack sat down and thought, 'I ain't giving up, I am gonna live this life out.'
