PROLOGUE
Kate put her bottle down in the water and took it out as it was full. She screwed on the cork and started walking to her backpack when she was stopped by a pair of strong arms and she looked up, meeting Jack's eyes.
"Kate, I need to know you're with me on this!" Jack said desperately, letting her go. He hadn't touched her for so long and she shuddered at his touch. "Kate?!"
She was brought back to reality by him calling her name and she nodded. "I'm with you on this, Jack." Kate answered truthfully and he gave her a smile, walking away. When she had told him that she had his back, she had meant it. Kate would always have his back, no matter what. "Jack!" She blurted out.
"Yes?" He stopped and asked, turning to face her. Kate bit her lip, what was she supposed to say now? She had just called his name without a reason.
"I've got your back." Kate said, blushing and he smiled continuing to where he was going.
Kate felt as if she was cheating. On Sawyer. She had slept with him on different occasions the past days, leading him into thinking she wanted something. That she loved him. But she kept asking herself if she did love him. She had figured that she was punishing herself by making herself love Sawyer, because that was all she deserved due to her past. Kate couldn't let herself love Jack – she just wasn't good enough for him.
