A/N: This is my new fic and my first Lost fic. Please review and give me your feedback.
"Is three years long enough to get over someone?"
This was the thoughT running through all of their heads. Did they do something wrong? How did it end this way? Is it worth the time?
It wasn't like Sawyer wasn't expecting Kate to come back; he just didn't know when. He had to move on with his life and it made sense for him to do so. With Juliet, everything seemed so much easier. There were no lingering questions about pregnancies or flippancy. It was just so much easier and they understood each other. It wasn't like he didn't think about them sometimes when he was laying in bed at night in the first year. It was just that other things started to preoccupy his mind.
For Jin, it would make sense that he was astonished that they would come back. He knew that his old friends would come back despite his will for them not to do so. He just hoped that Sun did not return for the sake of their child. But nonetheless, it hurt him that Sun that would not come back for him and made him question if she really loved him.
Meanwhile, Juliet, unbeknowdst to her friends' return, remains in bed blissfully unaware. She is enjoying a fulfilling life with Sawyer, free of the expectations that others have placed upon her. However, she knew in her heart that her friends would come and that she would have to face the consequences of the life that she and Sawyer had built together.
Unlike Juliet, Jack knew that they had to return and get everyone back to the island safely to protect those that had been left behind. Jack knew that he was going to run into his friends. In fact that was his primary motivation to come back. Seeing Sawyer and Jin gave him a feeling of satisfaction that had been missing in his work in Los Angeles. Jack finally felt after three years that he had returned back to his destiny.
Ben's story follows a little differently from the rest of his 'friends.' He was trying to help them to make up for the mistakes that he had made, but like any man how had spent most of his life away from a real civilization, he had a hard time adjusting. He never got over his mistakes and he was simply trying to find the best equation or way to fix them.
John was kind of thrown into the equation at a latter point. He was most certainly a surprise to all of his friends that he came to visit. He was a man on an unknown mission, dictated by certain people who may not have had his best interests at heart. Nonetheless, he knew that his goal was and he never lost sight of it in spite of all of the obstacles that were thrown his way. For him, it had not been three years and he was all too aware of the fact that time was running out for his friends that he left behind.
Hurley was not one to reflect on the past. He would rather forget the past and try to move on, but with his conscious, it proved impossible to do so. He knew that his destiny was to go back to the island before the rest did because of his visits with Anna Lucia, Charlie, and Mr. Eko. They all told him that it was time to go back and he knew in his heart that they were telling the truth. In the end, Hurley was not afraid to return, knowing that he would finally be coming back to the place that he was meant to be.
Sun was finally convinced that it was her duty to return to the island to find her husband. She certainly had not forgotten or gotten over Jin in the past three years. Rather she tried to avenge his death with all that she had. However, since she is only with Sayid, she is confused and it causes her to question whether or not going back to the island was good things for her. Now, she has to think of someone other than herself, Ji Yeon. Is she safe? Of course, she is with her grandmother. But is Sun the only person that is supposed to raise her?
Sayid was confused when he got back to the island. Having been taken on a plane to Guam with an air marshal, he suspected that something was wrong with the flight, but there was nothing that he could do about it. Sayid is one of the few people that does not regret those three years on the island, but he does certainly not forget those people that he left behind through his murders of the people that could possibly harm them. But since he realized Ben's true intentions, there is no way of knowing whether these killings were just or if they were out of malicious intent for wounds that Ben never was able to heal.
But it is important not to forget Kate. Of course, her reasons for coming back are rather linear compared to the others. She wanted to see Sawyer again and score some points with Jack for picking up the bone that he has thrown to her. Kate is once again conflicted between the two men that she loves with all of her heart. However, seeing Sawyer again does not bring the emotions that she thought would come to the surface. She thought that there would be regret and shame, but rather there is hate and anger for him leaving her for three years.
It is because of this that Kate walks towards Sawyer, not sure of what to say. However, when Sawyer opens his mouth, she knows exactly what to say.
"Hi, freckles," he says to which he promptly gets a slap across his face.
'Yes,' Sawyer thinks. His friends really are back. The ride that he has had time to prepare for three years has finally come. But is he ready? Has he gotten over them? Sawyer thinks and he finally comes to a conclusion.
No.
A/N: I have planned this fic to go on for 10 chapters, but it all depends on your reviews. So please tell me what you think!
