I Wouldn't Change It For The World (Janto)

Chapter 17 - Losing all hope

Jacks POV -

I lifted Ianto up and carried him to autopsy room, once again I laid him down on the cold metal table watching helplessly as Owen ran around him grabbing different equipment, as i watch Ianto's face getting paler and more blood dripping from his mouth i saw his eyes flicker. "Ianto, hold on okay" i whispered as i kissed his hand squeezing it hoping that he would squeeze mine, instead his said with the quietest voice I have ever heard "John put something in my pocket ... in my suit" his eyes closed once again I felt a little squeeze which gave me a small bit of hope, i kissed his forehead and ran towards my room, as i entered i picked up Ianto's suit, searching the pocket, i found and note neatly folded -

Dear Jack,

By now if you're reading this that mean that your precious Ianto is dying, you're probably running every test possible, i'll spare you the time, I may have laced the bullet with arsenic, once eye-candy begins to bleed internally I would say he has two hours, maybe a small bit more, and knowing you, you haven't got the antitoxin kit from the agency, well I do

call 07549433545 and i'll give you the details of what you have to do to save eye-candy

Love John xx

I felt sick, i couldn't breath ... I felt myself running, but i didn't even know to were, i grabbed my phone and instantly rang the number, John answer "I knew you couldn't resist me, meet me at the mermaid quay restaurant, I'll give you the cure but you have to come with me" the phone hung up. I ran towards the restaurant and saw John sitting down waving a syringe at me "This is the cure" John said while handing it over, but before i could grab it he pulled it away "How do i know that you'll keep your promise?" I gave him a dead look "I will!" i looked down at my watch, five minutes until Ianto is gone! I handed over my vortex manipulator to John "NOW GIVE ME THE CURE" i screamed not so loud that everyone would heard it but just loud enough that John new i was not going to take no as an answer, he placed the cure into my hand.

I sprinted to the hub pushing past the large amount of people walking around the water tower, i finally reached the tourist office, i slide over the desk and pressed the hidden button to ope the door, i ran down the stairs into the hub, i jumped down the four steps leading to Ianto, i injected the cure into his arm and watched hoping that i was on time. My eyes went from Ianto to the heart monitor waiting for someone from either one of them a flat-line noise echoed the room i tear slid down my face, i flipped over the metal table next to me, i put my hands on my head trying to take in as much air as possible "Jack, Jack, look" Owen said pushing my face towards Ianto's body, i saw his chest rising slowly, but it was still rising, he opened his eye and tears continued to fall down my face! I kissed him with as much passion as humanly possible, i felt Ianto smiling. I kissed his forehead "I love you Ianto Jones" i whispered into his ears and slowly walked away, going back to the restaurant, when i reached John he had a smile on his face "coming honey" he said wrapping his arm around my shoulder, i nodded not knowing what to say.

Ianto's POV-

I opened my ears searching for Jack, i was in his room but it felt different, I stood up and fell back to the floor, Owen entered the room lifting me back onto the bed "Ianto, you have to rest for a few days okay" I nodded once again looking around for Jack, but he was nowhere to be seen "Owen, wheres Jack?" Owen looked at the floor avoiding eye contact "Owen?" I asked again. "We don't know, he hasn't been back here for a week now, ever since he gave you a cure for whatever was going on inside you. He just left without an explanation" Owen said still avoiding eye contact, tears ran down my face, Jack's left? why would he do that, did i do something? I smiled at Owen and he got up from the bed and walked up the stairs, when i knew he couldn't see me i started to cry, i hugged Jacks pillow wishing he was here now. 

As the weeks past i tried everything possible to find Jack, but i couldn't find him anywhere, it had gotten to the point that everyone else had just accepted that he was gone, I was the only one still looking. Gwen had taken charge of Torchwood for some reason, i though Owen would but no Gwen was the new leader which was slightly awkward considering she was the newest member. As it reached a month since Jack left I felt more lifeless, more heartbroken than i did with Lisa, sometimes i would be shopping for some more coffee beans and I would see someone walk in with a long coat, I always thought it was Jack but it never was. 

The worst time was when i was weevil hunting, everyone else had gone home so i decided i could handle this one by myself, as i was capturing the weevil it bit my arm, as i fell to the floor in pain I saw a man in a coat shove the weevil into the back of the SUV as i got up, i realised that no one was around. At that moment i knew i was being driven mad by grief, Jack was amazing, but he's not able to disappear into thin air, i haven't told anyone about that, not Owen, Tosh or Gwen, god knows what they think of me already, telling them might make them believe i was unstable to work, which might be true, but i couldn't allow them to know that.
