Summary: After they get rescued, Kate's with Sawyer. However, certain circumstances bring her back to Jack, and she has to make a descision all over again. Was her love for Jack ever really gone?

Summary's bad but the story's better :)

Kate Austen stood outside a convienince store called Happy Mart. What a stupid name, she thought. She sighed, and leaned against the brick wall. She had to wait for a few more minutes, until Sawyer gave the signal. She held the case tightly in her hands. She wouldn't admit it, but she was scared. She was scared everytime they did this, when they were running low on money. If a cop came, it would all be over. Her life was so complicated. She wondered if it would be better if she had chosen Jack. No, she thought, I love Sawyer. No, she thought again, he's great but I'll never be able to love him like he loves me.She knew she missed Jack. She would just never admit it.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye she saw Sawyer wave and point to a man about to walk past her. He was about 40 years old, and was slightly overweight.

"Hey, you want to buy a necklace?" she asked, opening the case to show about 20 necklaces.

"How much?" the man asked.

"Two hundred dollars a piece. A real bargain." she replied.

"They're fake, aren't they?"

"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't sell fake stuff. This is real."

The man looked down for a second, and Kate nodded towards Sawyer.He started to walk over.

"Well missy, you sellin' some fake necklaces here?" he asked.

"No, they're real", Kate replied.

"My father owns a jewlery store, so let's just see about that", Sawyer lied. Sometimes it amazed Kate how well he could lie. Then again, she was a pretty good liar herself.

Sawyer looked down at the necklaces and pretended to study them. "Well, well,well, she ain't lyin'. I'll be damned." he said."I'll take one, I need a present for my wife." He handed her the money and she took it.

The man, who had been watching the whole time, stepped up. "I'll take two," he said. "My twin daughters have a birthday coming up."

Kate took the money from him and he left, taking the necklaces with him. Sawyer walked away as well, and she waited until the man was out of sight to go find him.

"Great job, freckels. Sorry we had to do this", he said. He knew Kate hated conning people, but they needed money. It was the only way.

"Yeah", Kate replied softly. She couldn't help but feel guilty for what she just did.

"Hey, don't worry about it. It was just a necklace. I've done worse.", he said bitterly."Come here." He pulled her into his arms and placed a peck on her lips. "Let's go home."

'Home', thought Kate. 'A small aprtament that we can barely fit in. I can't wait', but all she did was smile up at him. "Okay".

They lived closeby, so they began to walk home, through the crowded streets of LA. They had been walking in silence for about 10 minutes, when Kate spoke up.

"I'm going to look for a job. We can't keep doing this. If we get caught, I'm screwed. I still can't believe they let me off, but I'm on probabtion, remember Sawyer? If I get caught conning people, they'll lock me up."

"Sure, but good luck finding a job that will hire a murderer." he joked. However, Kate looked down silently. "Sorry, freckels, I was just kiddin'."

"Yeah, well it's not funny!" she exclaimed. They both stepped into the street to cross it. "I-" Just then she was was cut off.

A car was swerving down the road, coming straight towards them. Kate jumped out of the road, and she thought Sawyer was next to her. However, when she reached the sidewalk she heard a thud, and the screeching of car tires.

Turning around, Kate saw that the car was starting up again and speeding off. She looked around for Sawyer, and saw him laying on the street, not moving. She rushed over, and realized he wasn't breathing.

"Oh my god! Someone call 911!" she yelled. She grabbed Sawyer into her arms.

"It's going to be okay. We'll get you to a hospital. Someone's calling an ambulance", she looked over at the tall blonde woman who was calling 911,"I.." she tried to say I love you, but couldn't bring herself to say the words. "I'm sorry I yelled at you." she finished.

Can you guess what hospital they're going to? Review!
