Summary: After rescue Kate is made an instant celebrity after her charge's were dropped, she thinks she's lost both Jack and Sawyer, but what happens when she hate's the fame.
A/N: Just something I came up with when we had to write a song fiction in our English class. Not great but I thought it was okay and so did most people. Please R&R. Song is Everybody's Fool – Evanescence. Might change to a WIP if you guys want it to.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost or Evanescence.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Kate sat on a couch, her fake blonde hair falling down onto her hair, light's from a flash shining into her eye's, not blinding her, the amount of photo's she had had taken since rescue 2 year's ago they didn't bother her.
"Lift your head up a bit." Kate done as instructed. "Smile." A smile crept across her face, anyone that knew her would be able to tell it was fake, but the public wouldn't. "Perfect." A last flash shined into her eyes. "There." Kate sighed and stood up grabbing her coat she pulled it around her ridiculously small outfit.
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Walking down the street she was instantly stopped by reporters. Asking the same question's over and over again, mostly over Jack or Sawyer, even thinking about them broke her heart, as soon as they had got of the island Sawyer was greeted by some girl called Cassidy and Jack, well her and Jack just grew apart.
"Is it true that you and Dr Shepard are seeing each other?" One of them flashed another camera in her face.
"No, it isn't true." Kate carried on walking trying to get to her apartment as soon as possible.
"Are you hurt about the fact that he has found someone else?" Kate turned to the reporter while walking fast. Who was he with? She just smiled.
"No, not at all, nothing was ever going on with Jack and myself." Kate grabbed her keys and walked into the apartment closing the door behind her. Resting against the door she sighed. Tear's filling up in her eye's, she sunk down to the floor, just letting the tear's fall. She had lied to reporters and press for the past year over her relationships with Sawyer and Jack.
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.
Pulling herself together, wiping her eye's her make-up run down her cheeks. Walking into her living room she grabbed one of the magazines on the side. One of her newest one's. Flicking through her page's she fell onto her interview and photo's. Pulling off the blonde wig she had on she threw it on the floor. Letting her brown hair fall down onto her bare shoulder's were had coat had slipped off. Looking at the clock she remembered she had another interview in a hour's time. Running upstairs she changed into a simple pair of jeans and a tank top, the one outfit that made her feel safe and at home, not like the skimpy, sexy outfit's she was given to wear day in day out.
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you.
Walking back out the house the reporter's had been replaced by fans. She was sure she liked it better when she was on the run, then being stalked every time she walked out the house. She smiled to herself, it seemed like they were almost bowing down to her, it seemed stupid, why did she have so many fan's, it wasn't like she was a perfect role model. Walking down the step's she took a deep breathe, she knew it would be rude if she didn't sigh some autograph's. Stopping at a group of girl's she sighed some of the magazines.
"Thank you. We think your amazing." Kate just smiled and nodded at the blonde girl in front of her who looked like she was jumping up and down on hot coals. Walking over to some lad's she sighed some of there magazines which had her more sexy and fancy picture's in that made her look like a slut.
"We love you." One of them said. Kate just nodded like she had at the girl and walked into the car they had hired to take her to the interview.
No flaws when you're pretending Never was and never will be
But now I know she
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Stepping out of the car she tipped the diver and walked into the hotel where she was getting interviewed. Walking over to the reception desk she asked were her room was. Getting the lift she walked in.
"Stop." Someone yelled. Kate held the door's open. As the man walked in she knew instantly who it was.
"Jack?" Kate looked up at Jack almost laughing a small sigh on her face.
"Kate." Jack replied coldly, as if he had nothing to do with her, she wanted to hug him even if he was being like that, but she knew that the lift would have camera's in and there chance's that the picture's would get out then a story that Kate had slept with Jack and was seeing him again. The lift stopped at the 5th floor were Kate got off, she thought she better not say anything as it would lead into them shouting at each other and maybe the story that she was always getting asked about would happen. Unlocking the door she put on the 'Do not disturb' sigh she walked into the room.
Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie.
Kate laid in bed a week later, a body mangled next to her; she was just staring up at the ceiling. Turning her head she looked at the sleeping body next to her, some how the other guy from the crash was laying next to her naked. Just a quick pity sex, that meant nothing, they were drunk and needed someone to talk to one thing happened after another and they ending up having sex. Sighing Kate grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around her. Walking over to the window, she sat into the seat and watched the car's speed along the road, the lights shining of the windows around her and shining into her tear filled eyes. Quickly putting on some clothes she walked out of her apartment she needed a drink, a strong drink. Walking out the house she hoped some photographers wouldn't spot her again. Her wish wasn't granted when she walked down the road and cameras flashed into her tear filed eyes. Her tear stained cheek's showing the hurt that she had tried to hide. She couldn't hide anywhere; she had to buy a top floor apartment so they couldn't take pictures of her walking around the house.
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore.
A few days' later she picked up a newspaper, scanning over it the headline stood out to her. 'Castaway's bed each other, the truth about her past.' She looked up and found people staring at her as if they had been placed there. Tears rising in her eyes again. One single tear rolled down her cheek. Sawyer had sold his story to the newspaper. Putting it in the nearest bin, she walked back to the flat, people giving her dirty looks. She had everyone fooled that she was perfect, the stories were false and that she was innocent, 'sweet as candy' as Charlie once told her.
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Kate lay in the bath, the newspaper in her hand; she had found a issue stuffed threw her letter box. Looking at it reading the story, Sawyer had made it seem dirty and wrong. Looking at the razor on the side, she remembers the times when she was younger when she held it to her wrist. Maybe it was time to end it. Throwing the newspaper across the room. She leant forward and grabbed the razor holding it to her wrist she pushed it into her skin, doing the same on the other wrist, closing her eye's she let the pain run threw her body and do it's thing.
A few minute's later, Kate's eye's closed tight, the pain obviously showing, hearing a knock at the door she left it, she couldnt move, tha pain was just to much.
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool.
Jack knocked on Kate's door, he had felt sorry for her a dozen red rose's in his hand. After no answer he knew she was in there the lights were on her coat across the floor by what he could see. Breaking down the down he rushed upstairs finding her clothes leading a path to the bathroom. Opening the door he dropped the rose's, his body shaking, her eye's closed. Walking over he pulled her body out of the water, he could see her chest rising. Grabbing towel's he wrapped it around her wrist's. Pulling out his mobile he rang 911. Taking off his jacket her wrapped it around her cold body, rocking her back and forth.
"Come on Kate." He slowly shook her, her eye's slowly opening. "That's it Kate, stay with me, your going to be okay, I promise." He kissed her hair.
"I... I couldnt do it anymore." She told him weakly, he knew what she was on about.
"I know. I know." He held her close. "Dont move, your going to be fine."
"I love you." Kate mouthed up to Jack, he kissed her nose.
"Me too." He watched a smile, run across her lip's as he heard the siren's. "I wont let the media near okay?" She weakly smiled. "Your going to be okay. I promise"
