Rating: T
Disclaimer: I don't own LOST or any of its characters.
Summary: Two separated souls, just how far will they go on for to meet? Just what are they prepared to do for each other? Just how long will they carry on before realising that they are living a life of lies and deception? Jate. Sequel to Switch.
A/N: Well, hello again! This is the sequel to Switch, a Jate fanfic. Kate, a succesful spinal surgeon, and Jack, a criminal with a very mysterious past.This is kind of like a spin off from the last chapter so it is recommended that you read Switch first but of course you don't have to if you don't want to, you can just start reading it from here. :) So... I promised you a sequel and you got a sequel! I apologise in advance for the shortness of the first chapter but I hope that you enjoy it and review!
Chapter 1
As the crinkled paper wobbled in her hand, she stared speechlessly at the words in front of her.
Claire: 16 Malebury Close
She stayed like this for a long time, just staring at the piece of paper in front of her trying to comprehend and understand everything.
And when she came back down to Earth she found herself shaking with fear and confusion and her legs giving way as she slumped to the ground. The tears quickly founded their way out of her eyes, clouding her vision and confusing her even more. She started shaking even more and the tears were now streaming down her cheeks and wetting the small sheet of paper that she was clutching so close to her.
She let all her emotions out, not thinking about anything but Jack.
She thought about everything to do with him. What he did, what he said: she never really paid any attention to it but now even the smallest things seemed to matter the most to her.
Wiping all the tears away from her eyes, furiously, she stood up, her lips quivering though trying her best not to cry.
'Come on… stop crying… stop… crying…' She told herself, hoping that it would make her toughen up and stop crying.
Her legs now seemed to feel more stable as she stood up and brushed all the dust and mud off her. She stood up proudly and took a deep breath, closing her eyes, trying to calm down so she could carry on.
A raindrop fell on the top of her head, almost too softly, then another, and then another. She looked up towards the clear sky that was darkening rapidly. She looked around to look for any shelter that she can use until the rain stops, but failing to find any. Then she looked the other way, and as her eyes set on the shattered bus stop in front of her, she took off towards it. It would do for now.
And just as she settled down on it, putting her hood up and wrapping her arms protectively around herself to keep warm and dry, she asked herself the question that she had been thinking since they took Jack away:
What now?
