The next morning Jack woke up in the back seat of the SUV. Not because he was kicked out, but because he also took Gwen and the sleeping bag with him. He barely remembered how they got there, but even if he tried to he could never forget what happened last night. He looked around and was disappointed to find that she was no longer there, and then had to question himself if it was actually real. He could hear someone moving about outside, and soon enough Ianto appeared at the car door.
"So how'd you end up in here then?" Ianto asked curiously as he opened the door. "I thought you'd be with Gwen."
Jack observed him suspiciously. "Sleep well Ianto?" he asked eventually.
"Surprisingly" he agreed. "Sharing didn't turn out to be as bad as I thought" he said casually. "I didn't even realise Gwen was there."
"Right…" said Jack. "So where is Gwen?" he asked cautiously.
"Don't know. She must have left early" he said. "That's why I assumed you would be with her."
Jack had a really bad feeling. He quickly got out of the car and started to get dressed while Ianto went back to his cooking.
"How do you like your eggs?" Ianto asked. Jack didn't answer him so he turned around to find that he had already gone. "Hey! Where are you going?" he called out as he spotted Jack in the distance.
"To find Gwen!" he called back.
Jack walked down along the river. He didn't know exactly what he was going to say when he found her. They didn't really get much of a chance to talk last night. What worried him the most though, was that he didn't know if he was more afraid of finding her, or losing her.
Soon enough he found her sitting down by the river. Her legs were brought up to her chest and her arms were wrapped securely around them. She looked upset and afraid. Her fear tripled as soon as she noticed that Jack was watching her, and she quickly looked away. Jack cautiously walked over to her and sat down beside her. He waited for her to say something but she didn't. She couldn't even look at him.
"Gwen" Jack started. "We need to talk."
"You don't need to say anything Jack" Gwen said quickly. "It was a mistake" she said quietly with as much courage as she could manage, and before she could cry she stood up and walked away.
So, so sorry about the cliffhanger and the extremely short chapter. I feel so mean right now and I'm really not expecting many reviews for this. This is all I can do for the moment. Thankyou all so much for your reviews for the last chapter (I really wasn't expecting that many so I was really blown away!) Hope this will do for now (even if it did finish awkwardly) xox
