The Doctors Daughter

Friend's Comfort

She hiccupped and smiled. "I've always at least cared about Jack. He was like anolder brother to me, but those feeling have evolved. I hate loving him, because I am so afraid." They hugged her and Luke said, "It's hard to tell someone you love them. There is always that fear of being hurt. But I would rather tell them and endure the pain then suffer the greater pain of not knowing whether or not they feel the same. You have to take that chance" She looked up at him. "I've told him, I just don't want to be with him." Luke smiled, "He told me he hasn't slept with, kissed, or even looked at anyone in three months." She was shocked. "We kissed three months ago." Rosie smiled, "Exactly, he's waited for you." Luke said "The whole time I have been dating Rosie; I have just been waiting for something to go wrong. But you need to focus on the present, not the future."

Mycky stood up and adjusted the coat. "I will go talk to him, but only because you have convinced me that he is sincere." They all hugged and Mycky walked out to face him. She slowly walked outside, quietly wiping away tears. Everyone went quiet as she grabbed Jacks hand and walked outside. She sat down and began to speak, "I do love you Jack, and I just am really scared that you will leave me." She told him everything. He sat by her. "I know how you feel, but I haven't touched anyone since I kissed you." She grinned, "I know" and pulled him close. Their lips crashed together, emotion pouring through their kiss. She wrapped her arms around his waist. His fingers tangled in her hair as he moaned against her lips. She pulled back for just a moment to say "You better not abandon me." He smiled down at her and pulled her to her feet. "The moment I fell in love with you, I was a changed man." They walked back inside, all traces of her tears gone. Everybody celebrated the Christmas season with Jack and Mycky's hands never letting go of each other. Everybody could feel the love that they all felt for each other.
