Friday 16nd November

Tosh tells me I need to start getting on with my life, that I can't keep mooning over Jack. I know in my head he might never return, but my heart keeps telling me otherwise. It's nearly three months since he left, left, not just disappeared or vanished but left of his won free will and as Tosh said if he could do that to me then maybe he's not worth it? I know she's not being unkind, just practical but I don't want to hear it.

I agreed to go to the pub with them last night, Owen didn't seem to give a toss whether I went or not, but Tosh and Gwen were hell bent on getting me there. Promised I only had to have one drink and then I could go if I wanted, Gwen and Owen have now realised that I'm living at the hub and it turned out this was so they could 'have a little chat' with me and try and convince me it wasn't healthy and I should go back to my flat.

One drink? Yeah right, I fully intended to have one beer and then go. But the more Gwen, it was mostly Gwen went on at me about how I'm not doing myself any favours by living in the hub and constantly thinking about Jack the more I drank. It was when I moved onto the double brandies it all went a bit pear shaped.

I was well on my way to getting pissed when I was left alone at the table, Gwen and Tosh had gone to the ladies and Owen to the bar when this girl came over to me. Said she's been watching me all evening and thought I was cute, she was almost as drunk as I was I think. Before I knew what I was doing she had led me out the pub and had me pinned against the wall with her tongue down my throat. I wasn't complaining, her mouth soft against mine, my hands on the curves of her body. That is until that awful feeling hit me again, of dispair, that Jack had died.

I pushed her off me without a word and walked away, her yelling obscenities at me, what the hell was I thinking? A few minutes longer and I'd have been shagging a stranger up against the wall of a pub, this is so not me. Damn you Jack Harkness, look what you are doing to me.

Oh. Poor Ianto. I'm saying that too much. I need to find a new phrase.

But, really, poor Ianto :( -sigh-

Jack needs to come back already -another sigh-

If only so the combined forces of Tosh and Gwen can thump him.

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

He sure does ... but he is slowly starting to get his life back.

Thanks :D

I too keep saying Poor Ianto. But at least he got out for a tiny tiny bit, even if it was for a talking to.

Well I'm glad he didn't shag that girl. He probably would have felt worse if he done.

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

Very probably.

Thanks :)
