Chp.1 – Back to the Camp

Jack and Kate lead the group saying nothing for a few hours. Then as they came closer to the camp Kate hears all the castaways talking and laughing. She turns to Jack.

"Welcome home" said Kate. Jack smiles his heart is racing.

"Thanks Kate. It's good to be back."
Their eyes lingered for a second and Kate stepped forward.

"JACK! Can you please tell John to stop interrogating me?" Juliet laughed.
Jack smiled it was like she was a different woman. Juliet was laughing joking and being more friendly than ever, all because she wasn't held captive.
Suddenly Juliet slipped and fell on Jacks arm. Jack quickly caught her, his arm was around her waist, and laughed.
"Be careful Juliet no one wants you hurt!" Jack laughed. Kate scoffed in the corner, she begged to differ.

Soon they reached the beach. There was a huge crowd around Jack hugging him and asking him questions, some people were even cheering. After Charlie and Hurley greeted Jack they walked over to Kate and nudged her.

"Jacks back!" said Charlie smirking.

"Yeah I know." Said Kate kind of confused at why Hurley and Charlie were nudging her and smirking.

"So does that mean you are moving in with him?" said Hurley winking. Kate blushed and her heart raced. They hadn't forgotten about their relationship.

"Or is it just the net this time?" laughed Charlie.

"Things have changed…" said Kate her voice breaking. They all looked at Jack introducing Juliet to everyone. His hand was on her waist. Kate felt this burning sensation in her heart. And then she briskly walked away not saying a word.

Jack stood in front of everyone he cleared his throat. Juliet stood next to him looking shy.
"Hello" suddenly everyone was quiet they all looked up at Jack. "First I want to say this is Juliet Burke everyone. She was held captive in The Others camp… We escaped together. I just want her to feel at home. She is one of us now. And she has been through a lot so let's all give her a warm welcome." Then Jack went on about how they escaped and The Others camp…
Kate had never felt so much hatred in her body. She hated the blond beautiful girl standing up there. Why wasn't she up there? Why was Jack pushing her away? After all this time... Did he not feel something for? Her head was spinning... She wished so badly that she had never gone to the others camp. Suddenly her heart tightened. Why should she care? Jack was perfect for Juliet. She hated them both! They should just get together their perfectly disgusting for each other. She started running through the jungle.

She had one question lingering in her mind.

Was she jealous?
