Chapter number 7. We can't

"Jack what are you doing here" Martha asked still recovering from the shock.

"I was about to ask you the same question" Jack answered coming closer to her, all he wanted to do was hold her, the way he used to, the way he wanted to for the rest of their lives, but her stopped himself, there was something he had to know before he did that. "Martha why did you leave?"

Martha paused for a moment it was just like in her dream, the same expression on his face, the same surroundings, the same words, it was almost like she could see into the future. "Look Jack I had my reasons, now if you don't mind I've got work to do" she said pushing past him quickly to get to the door before she exploded with tears, but Jack stopped her, grabbing her arm.

"Martha wait".

"What?"

"Martha I love you, anything you saw with me and Maddie wasn't what it looked like".

"Well what was it then?" Martha said in a tone that clearly indicated she didn't believe him.

"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me" Jack explained. Martha just looked at him and shock her head and began to walk away, she knew deep down that he was telling the truth, but she couldn't let him see that, if she did then she would only make things harder. But Jack pulled her closer to him, wrapping one arm around her and stroking her cheek with his other hand. "I promise I never cheated on you and I never will". There faces were only ten centimeters away and gradually moving closer. Martha was about to pull away, but when Jacks lips met hers she gave into her temptation and returned the kiss. A moment of happiness came over both of them, and things felt perfect, the way it was supposed to be for them, the love that they had returned, building up by the second. Martha could feel Jacks hands running up and down her back, her heart melted and her worries faded away, she had missed him so much that she had forgotten how happy and safe he made her feel. But when Martha realized what she was doing she pulled away.

"Jack we can't do this" she told him bitting her lip and stairing at her feet.

"Why not Martha, I love you".

"I love you too, but that doesn't matter anymore".

"Yes it does Martha".

"Things are more complicated then they used to be, I'm a slave, I belong to Sasha. I'm sorry but we just can't" Martha explained looking him in the eye, tears forming in her eyes. "I have to go".

"No, Martha please just stay for a bit longer" Jack pleaded with her desperately, he wasn't going to let her go that easily, he needed her. They were ment to be together, and he knew that.

Martha just shock her head slightly, her tears were running down her cheeks thickly, and her eyes were filled with pain "I have to go".
