Set season 4. Rescue hasn't come it's been 2 days and people are starting to get restless, and people are starting to talk; about if the rescue was coming, was Ben right about Naomi and…Jack. Everyone is back at the beach, Sun reunited with Jin, Rose with Bernard, and Kate and Claire were left wondering if the men they had fell for were still with them. For Claire she had lost all hope of Charlie returning alive and Kate, well she was still concerned about what the hell was going on with Sawyer but was drawn to jack now more than ever because of his new found confession and all jealous and hateful thoughts when it came to Juliet and her Jack. How she wanted to dislocate more than just her shoulder this time round.
Kate still hadn't spoken to Jack properly since he told her he loved her, but first she needs to see Sawyer and see what's going on with him and hopefully break off what ever it is they have going on between them, so hopefully she can be rid of her doubts and be with Jack.
Kate walks towards Sawyer who is filling some water up. Kate approaches slowly.
Kate: "Hey". Almost a whisper.
Sawyer: "What do you want Kate." Cold and distant.
Kate: "What is with you?" Her voice rising slightly.
Sawyer hesitates for a moment then shakes his head.
Sawyer: "Well you could say it's my conscious."
Kate: "What!" More confused than angry.
Sawyer: "Kate we both know the truth about our situation". With a raise of his eyebrows.
Kate just stares at him, where was this going?
Sawyer: "The doc's tents that way." Pointing in the direction of Jack's tent.
Kate: "I don't believe you!" Shaking her head in annoyance.
Sawyer: Taking a drink of his water. "Well believe it 'cos me an you. We aint nothin'."
Kate: You weren't saying that the other week. Trying to sound sarcastic to hide the little hurt that was beginning to form.
Sawyer: "Yeah… Well I was only tryin' to get laid".
Kate slaps Sawyer across the face, people are slowly starting to come closer to see what's going on. Jack is seen looking over, he's wondering if he should go over or not, but for now he stays back but close enough so that he can hear what is going on.
Kate: "How dare you!"
Sawyer: "It worked didn't it, plus I managed to piss off Jack too." He said with a smirk.
Jack hearing this starts to come closer but waits to see how Kate reacts first.
Kate: "What!"
Trying to stop her self from punching him there and then, the hate for him is increasing by every word he speaks. How on earth could she ever have thought she was capable of loving him
Sawyer: Rubbing his cheek. "Yeah, he beat me at poker so I beat him at…looks Kate up and down ping-pong. With a raise of the eye brows again. Kate is just staring at him the hatred evident across her face. I only wanted you 'cos I knew Jack loved you."
As soon as she hears that 'cos Jack loved you. She supplies Sawyer with a right hook, which makes him fall to his knees.
Kate: "You bastard! You knew that I loved Jack, and that he loved me! And you just… were stopping me and Jack from being together. Out of spite! I was the first person to give you the time of day; I thought… how could I have been so stupid. You were right, a tiger don't change its stripes."
Sawyer is now resting on his knees looking at Kate, a smirk across his face. Tears now filling her eyes.
"Good job I aint a tiger then."
On that last word she punches him again causing him to fall to the ground. Sawyer lets out a moan.
Sawyer: "You bitch!"
Kate is now furious and kicks him in the ribs.
Kate: "That's for using me!"
Sawyer: Lets out a small laugh. "You gonna kill me Freckles. I know you have it in you."
Jack is now at the front of the large group that is quickly gathering around Kate and Sawyer. Kate now kicks him in the ribs again.
Kate: "That's for Jack! You sick…"
Jack is starting to jog up behind her.
Sawyer: Lets out another laugh. "That's all you got Kate! For a murd…"
She doesn't let him get out the rest of the sentence as she kicks him again, knocking the wind out of him. Tears now streaming down her face.
Kate: "That's for what you just…were about to say!"
Waving her finger in the air. Jack is now behind Kate and looks ready to grab her, but something holds him back.
Kate: "That's for ruining what could've been 2 months of me and Jack being happy together, and… she now starts kicking him again and again. Now I've lost him."
Jack now concerned even more for Kate, he doesn't want her to do this; not after all the good she has done on the Island to kill Sawyer over this. Granted that he deserves everything he gets, he can't let her do this. So he leaps forward and grabs her, wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her back slightly.
Jack: " Hey, hey."
The concern showing in his voice, as he tries to calm her.
Kate tries to get free from this persons grasp and starts to kick her legs out in the direction of Sawyer. Only when she hears his voice. Jack's voice, she stops.
Jack: "Come on Kate he's not worth it! I'm not letting you do this! You're better than him."
Kate turns around still wrapped in Jack's protective arms, and cries uncontrollably, letting all her emotions spill out of her.
Jack: "Shh, shh it's going to be ok."
Kate: "I'm sorry… I'm sorry you had to see that."
Jack: "It's ok, don't be sorry. He's the one that should be sorry. Don't you dare apologise."
He starts rubbing her hair soothingly.
All the camp must now be gathered around the three, all stood in bewilderment at what just happened and the confessions that took place, and the now kneeled Jack comforting Kate. To which none of them have seen like this; broken and exposed, they've all seen her tough exterior and the leader side of her beside Jack. Most of the survivors have left sensing it was their time to go. Hurley had run of with a determined look on his face. Jack and Kate stay like that, Jack now rubbing her back.
Sawyer lets out a groan to which Jack and Kate both turn to.
Sawyer: "I've had worst."
He takes in a sharp breath. Jack looks like he's about to jump him himself, but then he feels a hand on his shoulder.
Hurley: "Don't worry dude, I've got this covered."
Hurley slings a rucksack over his shoulder and smiles sympathetically at the two of them. Jack nods, then stands Kate looks at him, he holds out his hand and leads her away.
Hurley walks over to Sawyer and grabs him and swings him over his shoulder.
Sawyer: "Hey get off me! Hey!"
But Hurley has other plans….
