This is an idea that came into my mind and I decided to turn it into a fic. It is very different from the rest and I don't really know how many people will like it, but I am hoping that people read. I know pretty much where I am going with this, it all depends on whether you all review. If you don't then I'll probably delete it. So here is the first chapter, short I know ( I promise that future chapters will be longer!), but it's here. Please tell me your thoughts on it, if you want me to continue!
Chapter 1 - Broken
Four months... exactly four months and eleven days since Jack last saw her. He couldn't even bring himself to say her name. God, he loved her so much, but life wasn't always easy. He didn't know where she was. He didn't even know if she was safe from the police or if they got her, or maybe she was... he didn't even want to think about it. They had been nothing more than friends on the island, but they both loved each other even though they didn't know it. He was going to tell her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her on the day when they got rescued. Rescue came and that is what stopped him; there's nothing else to it.
Jack sighed, resting his elbows on his desk and running his hands through his hair. He had gotten back to his life. He went back to his hospital doing the same job that he did what seemed like such a long time ago. At first, it seemed all too surreal. But then, he got used to it again; he got used to saving lifes.
He hadn't seen any of the survivors either. He saw Charlie on MTV with his band, but that was just it. Hurley had probably gotten something big with his money. Sawyer had probably gotten back to conning. Locke had probably gotten back to... well, his thoughts on the island. That was pretty much it; nothing interesting.
A knock came at the door and he snapped out of his thoughts and back to the real world.
"Come in." he said tiredly. A face that he didn't recognise appeared at the door and Jack looked at the tall, blonde woman curiously.
"Two patients have just been brought in. You are the most experienced surgeon here, so Dr. Wilkins wondered if you would take a look at them?"
"Yeah, I'm coming, uhh... Dr. Sailsbury." he said as he read her badge. "What happened to them?"
"Uh... the person was driving their car at night time, didn't see the pedestrian in front of her and hit her. The patient is diagnosed with four broken ribs, a spraigned wrist and internal bleeding. The driver is just beeing looked at. She is not that injured." Dr. Sailsbury said as she led Dr. Shephard towards the room where the patient was beeing looked at. He got inside and looked around. There were a few nurses trying to get her to regain concsiousness, and steady her breathing.
"Katherine Austen, twenty-four, diagnosed with inter-"
"Wait, what did you say?!" Jack screamed at Dr. Sailsbury while he went over to her bed.
"I said Katherine Aust-" the world blacked out for Jack.
"Kate." Jack breathed as a single tear ran down his cheek. It was her. She was broken and for once in his life, Jack didn't know how to fix it.
