Why Do I Care What You Think?
By DarkNightangale
Hey, so this is a new FF I'm working on. It's for LOST. yay. It's probably only going to be a one chapter one-shot thing. But, if I get into the mood I may go back and change it or something. It's a Jate, even though I'm generally a Skate, but it just needed to happen.
So, I don't own LOST, it's far too brilliant for me to own it.
Why Do I Care What You Think?
Kate was sat in the sand and stared out at the water, thinking about everything that had happened in her life. She was kind of happy that she was on this island, because she had more freedom, she didn't need to run as much.
She still had to run, but not as fast.
"Hey Kate." A voice behind her said, it made her jump a little.
"Hi Jack. You startled me." She smiled up at him.
Jack plopped down next to her, "I'm sorry, didn't mean to. What are you doing?"
Kate shrugged, "Just thinking. What's up with you?"
Jack shrugged as well, "Nothing much. Came down here for a break."
Kate felt nice sitting next to Jack. She always felt more comfortable when there was nothing much to say between them. She didn't like the fact that Jack knew about her being a fugitive, because it always made her self-conscience about herself.
"Why do I care what you think Jack?" She thought to herself, "I've never cared what anybody thought of me, but with you it's different."
She generally didn't give a rat's ass about what anybody thought of her. But with Jack it was different. It was always different with Jack. He seemed to constantly be looking right into her soul, and that made her feel uncomfortable. But, she liked it when they just sat together, not saying much. It was a silence, but it was a soothing silence. And it was nice.
"You know something Kate?" Jack asked suddenly, "I like you."
Kate stared at him. How was she supposed to answer that? "Why do I care what you think?" that was what popped into her head first.
Out loud she said, "Thank you. I like you too Jack."
The silence returned.
"Why do I care what you think? Why do I care what you think of me?" Kate thought.
The answer was always trying to come up, and she tried her hardest to fight it back down. She really didn't want to hear what the answer was even though she knew it deep down.
"It's because I love you." She said to herself, "I care what you think because I love you."
She leaned her head onto Jack's shoulder, letting the silence take hold and wrap them in a comforting blanket of sorts.
And then a new question came to mind.
"Why do I love you?" Kate thought.
End.
So, yeah. Sorry if it's short, but…review please. I hope you liked it.
