Since We Met
Chapter 1: The Argument
It was late at night, everybody were asleep for a couple of hours now, except Kate. She couldn't sleep because she had something in her pocket that she wanted to read although she shouldn't read it. She exited her tent and made her way to her favorite place on the beach. She grabbed a note from her pants' pocket and sat down on the sand, with her knees up to her chest and her arms resting on her knees with the note on her hands. Then she began to read it...
Hey mum. I'm sorry, as I told you by the phone I couldn't find dad alive. And with the crash his body is lost too, but I hope to find him someday. Don't worry about me, I'm fine, I know how to take care of myself and the others, this was the only thing that dad taught me. Oh and, do you remember what you said to me after my divorce with Sarah? Well... I think it's happening, but I don't want it to happen here on the island even though sometimes it's really hard to control myself... but I don't want to be hurt again. I don't have more space to write so... HOPE to see you soon. Love, Jack.
She began to read it once again. She didn't know about his father's body, and neither about he been marriage, and the divorce... Now she knew more things about the mysterious Jack Shephard. But she didn't know what he didn't want to happen on the island, what did his mum say to him? This was the reason why she was reading Jack's message once and again.
"Hey" She almost jumped when she heard his voice. He was walking towards her from behind her.
"Hey, Jack... y-you scared me." She said while keeping the message in her pants' pocket.
"I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention" He said with his sexy smile on his face, while he was taking a place by her side. "Why are you awake so late?"
"I just... I couldn't sleep. What about you?" She said with a little smile on her face too.
"Same, so... what were you reading?" He asked with an arched eyebrow, looking at her.
"It was nothing... just something I found on the sand" She lied.
"Really? Let me see it" He motioned.
"No! I-It is personal, ok?" She brought her hand to her pocket to make sure it was still there. But it wasn't. Suddenly it begun to rain.
Jack saw the paper lying on the sand and caught it quickly. Then he began to run, playing, acting like a child with her. But to her it wasn't funny, if he knew what it was, he was going to be really angry with her. So she begun to run after him.
"No! Jack! Give it back to me! Really, I'm not joking, give it back to me!" But she was late because he was already reading it.
He couldn't believe what he was reading, it was his message, his personal message for the bottle and Kate had read it. He was really angry.
"You have read my personal message!" He said with the message in his hand motioning angrily at her. "And on top of that you have lied to me... AGAIN!" He remembered the time she lied about the toy plane.
"And you have caught it without my permission!" She cried. Hopefully they were away from the tents because if not, they would have awake everybody.
"I can't believe what you're saying! What if I read your message Kate, huh? Maybe then I'll get some answers about your past!"
"You know what? Do whatever you want Jack. I don't mind! If my past is so important for you then you have lied to me too, because you said it didn't matter here on the island. But I guess..." She said with tears in her eyes, but with the rain maybe he didn't notice it. "...I guess, you still think about me as a criminal" And with that she turned and went back to her tent.
She was shaking but not because of the rain. She was nervous and afraid of what would happen since now. It wasn't just the fact that she had read his message, they had argued for a lot of things, things they had been keeping inside until they finally exploded. She felt bad now, because he was right, she shouldn't had read his message. She wanted to know more about him, but she was afraid to tell him things about her.
Jack was still there, in shock. Thinking about what had just happened, feeling the gouts of water crashing against his body. Had he been so hard with her? He didn't know, but he wouldn't have said some things he said to her. Of course she was wrong with her last words, he didn't think about her as a criminal, but she didn't know that. He was about to go after her, but he though it wasn't the time, maybe tomorrow...
I hope you have enjoyed it. I didn't get the result that I wanted, but I hope to get better at writting. I promise it will be more interesting ;)
