Chapter 7
Jack knocked gently on the girls door met by a shrill cry for him to go away and leave her be. He sighs and against her wishes opens the door gently stepping inside, "Ann?.." He says softly and the little body is curled on the bed in a heap hiding her face and crying weakly into her pillow. He bites his lip hating to see her in such a miserable state and sits himself on the edge of her bed. She tries to move away from him but she's had just about enough grabbing her and pulling her into a tight hug, "I'm sorry I yelled it was rude of me.." He speaks to her in a calm level voice and she finally looks up at him through tears as her own guilt starts to set in but he continues, "I...I know I can be overprotective but I...I just have to keep you safe..." He sighs. Aliens and creepy crawlies where easy to keep from harming the little girl it was the humans and natives of the Earth that where hard to defend against. He couldn't let the Doctor down he had promised but it could be very very bad for all if the Judoon found them before he had a chance to find out who employed them. Ann couldn't do this, she knew over everything and no matter what Jack did it was to protect her...How could she be so selfish!? Her tears soon tired to those of guilt as she shook her head furiously, "N-no it was my fault!! I should have told you I'm so sorry I won't go if you don't want!!" She squeaks and the American looks down at her chuckling softly. How could he deny her seeing him? It would be just plain cruel to keep them apart so he shakes his head, "Don't be silly, go have fun...just...just promise me you'll be careful alright?" he asks almost begging, "I-I will!! I promise!! Oh thank you Jack!! She squeals a little hoping up and spinning making him laugh. "Calm down there lover girl, you should rest big day tomorrow..." he forces a smile and hugs her before leaving the room her humming floating down the halls. Ann hummed and twirled around her room a smile so large it almost hurt the conners of her mouth as she spent nearly another hour jut picking out the perfect outfit, a pair of skinny jeans with a dark blue blouse and brown sweater and of course her lucky converse. She spent the rest of her time before bed thinking about what she was going to say and how to act around him when she crawls between the sheets her smile not yet faded and clicked off the light laying her head against the cool pillow sure she wouldn't sleep a wink...
