I do not own these characters or the show.

This is another songfic Stone Cold by Demi Lovato. I have seen a fic about when Lisa returns to sell Fairfield but wasn't alone so I thought I'd do one similar but with her returning and Jack is dating.. Lets see how this turns out. I've changed the storyline here a bit. Let me know what you guys think..

Lisa returns to Hudson with a goal of selling Fairfield. Her heart had been broken and she needed to let this part of her life go. She needed to move on. She needed Jack to move on. She just wanted him to be happy but it was evident that wasn't with her. That in mind she heads to Fairfield straight from the airport. She stops to fetch her mail because she's been gone so long. Who else does she run into but Tim Flemming who was talking about a big celebration and invited Lisa without a second thought. Lisa declined but soon realized that Tim wasn't going to take no for an answer so she says "fine, I'll come" and heads back to her car to be on her way. She sighs and shakes her head. She didn't want to go to Heartland. She didn't want to see Jack again because she knew her heart would break all over again,

Later that night, Lisa got showered and dressed to head on over to the place that once felt like home. She was happy to see the girls and her Goddaughters but sad to see Jack knowing nothing was going to change. Upon her arrival Lisa' heart quickened and her breath caught in her throat as she scanned the area and her eyes locked with someone else's eyes. She forced a sad smile on her face in acknowledgment but that quickly disappeared when she seen the other woman hanging off his arm. 'That should be me' she shook her head in disbelief.

Lisa made her rounds, hugging and greeting the people she use to call family. It felt so calming and familiar but heartbreaking at the same time. This wasn't her family anymore. She hated feeling this vulnerable. Headed to the bar though Lisa was drinking wine like it was water. She had no intentions of slowing down. She needed to numb herself, numb the pain and alcohol had worked many times before. Listening to Amy sing, listening to Jack sing just brought back so much memories for Lisa.

Lisa was borderline drunk now and it gave her some courage to get up and sing. She stood behind the tent after talking to the band about what song to play.

A voice started to sing. No one knew who it was or where the voice was coming. Jack sensed he knew. He knew that Lisa could sing but had never heard her.

Stone cold, stone cold, You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor
Stone cold, stone cold, Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel anymore

Stone cold, baby, God knows I try to feel Happy for you, Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain, Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through, If happy is her, I'm happy for you

Lisa sang from behind the tent, her voice was beautiful but you could feel every emotion in every word she sang. Whoever it was everyone knew she was heartbroken.

Stone cold, stone cold, You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone
Stone cold, stone cold, I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold

Stone cold, baby, God knows I try to feel Happy for you Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain, Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through, If happy is her, I'm happy for you

Lisa carried on singing. She loved this song and although her heart was broken she needed Jack to know that as long as he was happy she was happy even if that meant watching him with someone else. Building enough courage to step out and let everyone see that it was her. She rounded the corner and carried on

Don't wanna be stone cold, stone, I wish I could mean this, but here's my goodbye
Oh, I'm happy for you, Know that I am, even if I Can't understand
If happy is her, If happy is her, I'm happy for you

As Lisa sang her last words she looked up and locked eyes with the one and only Jack Bartlett. His heart sank. He missed her so much. His eyes searching hers from a distance to see any kind of hope that maybe she still felt something for him. He was met with pain and this shot something through his heart. He always hated seeing her in pain or sad and same as years ago he wanted to make it all go away. Just hold her so she knew he was there.

Everyone else erupted in cheers after Lisa finished singing. All stunned but in a good way. They never knew she could sing let alone sing like that.

Lisa handed the mic back. Wine still in hand and came off the stage stumbling just a little because of how drunk she truly was. Everyone patting her on the back and arm as she made her way back to her truck to head home. She wasn't sure how much more her heart can take and needed to get away before she broke down.

Jack noticed the woman walking back to her truck and followed her "Lisa" he whispers. She turns around abruptly but stumbles and Jack catches her. Her eyes wide and tears threatening to fall. She froze. She didn't know what to say. If she was being completely honest she didn't think her voice would be strong enough to say anything without breaking. She settled for silence. Jack sighed "That was beautiful Lis" he reached out but she stepped away and snapped out of it. "Don't call me that" Lisa hissed through clenched teeth. The nickname he had called her for years. "Lisa, please" he tried again. She turned around to open her door but Jack pulled on her arm and into his arms "Lisa, you're drunk. You can't drive like this" he whispers just happy to have her back in his arms again. She's trying to pull away, trying to protest "what do you care?" she huffs. "I do care Lis, I never stopped" he replies calmly. "Jack please let me go" she says choking back tears. He knows she's about to break down and just pulls her tighter against him. Lisa allows her tears to finally fall. Sobs wracking through her entire body soaking Jack' shirt. He gently leads her to the loft so no one see's them.

In the loft Lisa is cradled in his arms just letting everything from the past year go. His heart breaks and it brings tears to his eyes too. Once the crying starts to come to a stop Jack asks her what she's doing back in Hudson and she replies to sell Fairfield. Jack couldn't believe his ears. "What? Why?' he asks "I can't be here watching you with someone else Jack, it hurts too much" she admits looking away. He brings his hand up to turn her so she's facing him "Lisa, please look at me" he pleads, and she turns to face him. Her heart breaks all over again because she can see how hurt he is too. "I don't want you to sell Lis, I want you here" he looks at her searching for a reaction but continues anyway "here with me" he whispers and he drops his head to hide the tears forming in his own eyes. "I love you Lisa, I never stopped loving you" he cries. She looks at him her heart racing. That's the exact words Lisa wanted to hear but hearing them now when he was with someone else made her heart ache. "I love you too Jack but we can't do this" she declares "what about that woman?" "Lisa it's always been you" He reaches up to cup her cheek. She leans into his touch. She missed this. Jack got up "wait here" and he disappeared.

Jack had gone in search for his date to break things off. He told her the truth. He was still in love with Lisa and that it isn't fair to her for him to continue this he gestured between the two of them. He also told her that he wanted to try make things work with Lisa. "I'm sorry" She turned and kissed him on the cheek before leaving Heartland for good.

Back in the loft Lisa wasn't sure what happened or where Jack went. Her mind was reeling from everything. She was so lost in thought until she heard footsteps. She knew it was Jack. She felt his presence. Smelt his cologne. He came to a stop right in front of her. Cupped her cheek, searching her eyes for approval, bright blue eyes staring back at him full of desire. He closed the distance and pressed his lips against hers. He felt Lisa tense and pull back "Lis it's you, it's always been you, always will be" he says gently "But what about" he cuts her off "I told her it's not fair to her because I'm still in love with you and want to try again" "Oh Jack" she says and wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him in for a much needed kiss. He pulls her tight against him silently asking permission to deepen the kiss and she lets a moan escape her lips. Pulling apart she says "I love you Jack" through tears of joy. "I love you too Lis, I never stopped" he reiterates

I hope you guys enjoyed this one. Let me know what you think
