Chapter 3 – And that's when I fainted.
When I reached the main level of the Hub I noticed two things.
Jack's face had turned a violent shade of red.
Gwen looked scared and for once didn't look like she could burst into song and dance at any moment.
Jack stomped, it's the only word to describe it really, from the foot of the stairs to his office, all the way down to the Archives. Gwen tried to stop him but he shrugged her off. My eyes happened to glance to Gwen's computer screen, there on an opened window was the CCTV footage being streamed live from where I just was. OMG! Jack and Gwen must have seen and heard everything! Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god!!! I'm now on a panic level of 4 out of 5. I watched the grainy figure of Ianto filing various assortments of files and artefacts when the image of Jack appeared. Jack walked over to Ianto and wrapped his arms around Ianto's waist. I could see Ianto's lips moving but there wasn't any sound. Gwen leaned over a bit and put the sound on. I looked at her but she just pointed towards the screen. I could hear their voices now. Ianto had moved away from Jack's arms and was standing a few steps away from him.
"Jack no. I told you it's over. I know this is not anything serious. I don't think it ever could be, with you."
"It's Lily isn't it? Ever since she came here you've been acting weird. Archie told me how good she was. Never causes trouble apparently but he was wrong. I miss you Ianto, please, give me another chance?"
Ianto sighed; he was evidently tired of this conversation, like it had happened a few times before. And it's all my fault.
"Jack we've been through this. Even if Lily doesn't like me like I like her, then fine. But were still over Jack. I want to be in a relationship where I know it could potentially lead somewhere rather then just amazing meaningless sex."
"I know you love me Ianto and truth is I love you too" Jack sounded sincere but Ianto looked exasperated like this had happened before. Jack noticed Ianto's reaction to this.
"Fine, you want to know the truth but you won't like it. Yes I love you Ianto but the truth is I like Lily too. Just like you like her." The words stung me like hundreds of pins attacking me at once. Everything seemed to turn into slow motion. I turned around but instead of whipping around as usual it seemed to take longer. I looked at Gwen, she froze. Her face palled slightly. Her mouth hung open in shock. Clearly she wasn't expecting this, just like I wasn't either. And that's when I fainted. Everything felt so surreal and then there was nothingness. Just blackness all around me. I'm not sure what's happening now. Just blackness, voices so faint that the sounded miles away. I can hear my name every now and again but it's so faint. I can't make sure it's Lily their saying. I lay or sat or swung, I'm not sure what I was doing. I felt like I was floating away leaving my body behind me. Everything felt so surreal again. The voices got closer until they were whispering in my ear.
"Lily? Lily? Please wake up?" I think they are addressing me but my brain is so fuzzy, I can't be sure. The voice gets further away this time and I'm pretty sure is addressing someone else.
"Why did you let her see that Gwen? She's shocked enough by the past few days" A different voice this time answered.
"She needed to see it Jack. So she knew the whole truth. If it came out later on it would only upset her more" The fuzz of my brain cleared and I could tell they were talking about me. It was rather annoying, I wanted to tell them to bugger off but I still couldn't find my body. I was still floating somewhere. Again the voices got closer to me and I was beginning to feel my body again.
"Lily? Oh God, I'm so sorry. I have truly messed thing up. I really like you and then this whole thing with Jack…I'm such an idiot"
"I know, but it's endearing really" Well I can speak again. I was technically meant to think that but it sort of came out. Crap!
"JACK!!! GWEN!!! She's awake!!!"
"And deafened" I sounded weak, then again I felt weak.
Ianto's voice, I was pretty sure it was his cause why would Jack or Gwen shout themselves, sounded so happy because I had…woken up? I think that's the right term. I don't want to open my eyes cause then I'm back in the real world with my huge problem of what I saw on the CCTV, on the computer screen. And I still and to give my answer to Ianto.
