A/N:So here's chapter two. This is now set sometime after 02x05 'Adam'. There has been a good bit done to this chapter. Basicly just Jack's thoughts about Ianto. I've add more of Jack's thoughts to the whole fic until a certain character reappears. Opps! I think that's a spoiler. Well anyway, here's the chapter.

Please R&R!

Jack's Invisible Friend

Jack sat in the boardroom. The Hub was dark, for once Ianto had gone home, although not by choice.Jack had forced him to go home and rest. The poor man had been exhausted after the day that they had had. So Jack was alone with his thoughts. He sat there thinking, watching as Myfanwy the pterodactyl circled the waterfall.

They had had a series of Weevil attacks today. They were all staring to fear that the guys from the 'Fight Club' has decided to set up shop again. He thought about all the things that had happened since he had come back. There certainly had been a lot of drama. The almost non-stop action coupled with his new relationship with Ianto had been keeping his mind ocupied but now, alone in the dark Hub, Jack's thoughts wandered. They wandered back to the Doctor.

He missed the Time Lord. It had only been a few months and already Jack missed him, how was he going to survive eternity?

Because he was never going to see the Doctor again. He had decided that during the year he had been incarcerated by the Master. The year that never happened. He wasn't going to inflict his presence on the Doctor. The Doctor didn't want him around. He had said so himself.

"I'm wrong" Jack mimicked the other man's words bitterly.

He had said it, Jack repulsed him. That's why Jack hadn't kissed him goodbye this time. He didn't want to kiss a man who was sickened by his very presence, no matter how sexy he was. It was just principle.

But he asked you to come with him.

"What?"

He asked you to go with him.

"He was just trying to make up for the fact that he left me behind on the Game Station."

Was that it?

"Yes. You heard what he said; he can't stand to look at me."

He wasn't looking at you.

"Yeah, that's what I said."

He was avoiding looking at you properly; don't you think that's strange?

"Like I said, he's sickened by me. My ego is already bruised enough without your repetitive put-downs."

And when he did look at you he found it hard to look away.

"Because he was so appalled."

I'm just saying that maybe you should try looking deeper.

"Into what?"

Oh, you're impossible!

"If I'm so infuriating then why don't you just leave" and he thought to himself -everyone else does.

Ah, now I see.

"You see what?"

You have abandonment issues.

"No I don't"

And that's why you wouldn't go with the Doctor, because you're afraid of bring left behind again. You're just using what he said as an excuse.

"That's not true"

Yes it is.

"Is not."

Is.

"Shut up."

You shut up; you're the one who's talking.

"Yes but you're the one I want to go away"

I'm in you're head. You can't get rid of me.

"Then I'm going to egnor you."

That's fine but I'm going to keep talking to you.

"I can't hear you."

Jack went to the mini-bar and poured himself a strong drink then wandered over to the window, drink in hand. He was looking down at the Hub, surveying his kingdom and starting to hope that the little voice had finally shut it when-

You are afraid of being left behind though. That's why you get so angry when your team keep things from you. You're afraid they won't need you anymore and leave you.

"He left me there" Jack was angry now. Really angry. "He knew I was alive and he still left me!"

Rose was in trouble, they both were.

"But they didn't come back for me. They just went on travelling without me!"

I know. They shouldn't have left you all by yourself. But now you know what its like.

"What?"

For the Doctor. In the end he's always left alone. Humans die, the Doctor will always be on his own.

"I already knew what that was like"

Yes you did didn't you. Who did you lose?

"I…I…well lots of people. It comes with being immortal."

You weren't always immortal Jack.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Nothing. Anyway, that's why you and the Doctor are so perfect for each other. Both of you have the potential to live forever. Neither of you have to be lonely again.

"I'm not going back to him. I can't."

Two lonely little boys wandering the universe. The only place either of them will ever be at home is with each other.

"That all sounds very romantic but it's a pile of shit."

Is it?

"You're extraordinarily patronising."

And you're as bad as he is.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

You're both so stubborn.

"I know how stubborn he is, I'm not nearly as bad."

You don't know the half of it.

"What would you know, you're me." Jack became weary. "Aren't you?"

Not exactly.

Jack whole body tensed.

"Who are you?" It wasn't a request, rather a command and it was spoken in a tone that would have made the armies of hell drop their weapons and run for cover. "Now let's make this perfectly clear, I don't like people invading my mind. Last time that happened I woke up with two years of my memories gone."

Don't worry Jack. I'm your friend.

"You only ever fall for that line once."

Jack please just listen. The Doctor will ask you to come with him again. He never asks twice. The only person he ever asked twice before was Rose. He wants you with him. Say yes!

"Who are you?"

Who do you think?

Then he heard it. The sound of the universe. The roar of the TARDIS engineers. From where he was by the window Jack saw the blue police box materialise next to the waterfall.

As he ran to the stairs Jack started to smile. His first real smile in some time. He thought he knew who the voice had been.
