Juliet

I still couldn't believe it.

That they were back. That she was back.

James' ex-girl, the woman he fell in love with was here once again. Surely he didn't still love her, did he?

"No......" I reasurred myself, he doesn't, he couldn't. It wouldn't be fair.

James and I have been together for three whole years. He wouldn't just forget everything we've been through to be with Kate again, would he?

My own thoughts overwealmed me and tears started to fall from my eyes. I didn't want to be crying, but I couldn't help it. I didn't want James to leave me, everything was going so well for the two of us and I didn't want it to be over already. I had never felt the way I felt about James before, I loved him with all my might and I hoped that he felt the same way.

Sure, he told me he loves me and that he's over Kate, he told me that long, long ago. But now that Kate was back, now that he could see her face, and kiss her lips if he chose, would he?

I hoped, prayed, the answer was no.

Just then, I heard a knock at my door and someone entered.

At first I thought it was James, and was relieved that he had come, and we could talk about how I was feeling.

But to my suprise, saw Jack standing there.

He noticed I was crying and immediatly looked very uncomftorable. "I'm--I'm sorry. I should've waited for you to open the door. I just figured it would be okay if I--if I came in." he stammered.

"It's fine, Jack, really" I replied, even though I was just as uncomftorable as him, if not more so.

We both sat there in silence for a while when I questioned, "So I heard you and Kate were engaged, is that true?"

He shifted in his seat and stated, "Yeah, yeah thats true. But I broke it off."

"Oh...but you two are back together again, right?" I asked, hoping with all of my might that they were. If Kate and him were an item, then James wouldn't even have a chance with her, and that meant we would stay together.

"I...don't really know." He admitted.

"Hey Jack."

"Oh, hey Juliet" he replied, half-listening, half-watching Kate, who was having a conversation with Sawyer a few feet from us.

"I was hoping a could have a serious conversation with you, but I see your busy admiring the beautiful Kate Austin."

"What?" He replied, "I am not admiring Kate...she's just a, just a good friend."

"A friend that your in love with." I said matter of factly.

He nervously laughed and after a moment said, "Even if I was...in love...with Kate, it wouldn't matter--"

"Becuase she already loves somebody else...." I finished the sentence for him.

He took in what I said and instantly looked hurt.

I didn't mean to make him upset, I was making the statement more for myself, not for him.

I loved Jack from the moment I layed my eyes on him, and he'd been to busy with Kate to notice...

I looked Jack in the eyes, trying to remember what I felt for him, why I felt so drawn to him, but I couldn't remember. Whatever I had felt for Jack was in the past, James is my future. James is my everything. No matter how much I loved Jack, I was positive that I loved James a hundred times more.

At least I knew that my love for Jack was short-term and my love for James is never-ending. I just wish I knew if James loves me the same way I love him.....?

Sawyer

I walked through the door to mine and Juliets house.

I was expecting to see what I did every afternoon, Jules making dinner, smiling and happy.

But instead I found her sittin on the couch, our couch, next to Jack. The same Jack that she used to be in love with.

Although she never actually admitted it, I knew it was true. The way she used to look at him, talk to him...it was obvious. Of course, back when he and the others were on the island, I cared nothing about Juliete.

God, that seemed so long ago.

It's hard to imagine not waking up next to her. Not kissing her. Not telling her how much I love her.

Then, his voice broke my train of thought, "Sawyer, I was just about to leave."

He started to walk out the door and I stated, "Alright, bye Jack-O" while Jules polietly said goodbye.

When he was finally gone, I walked over to Juliet and she gave me a peck on the lips, to which I replied, "What, I haven't seen you all day and that's all I get?"

She smiled the smile that I just loved to see, then pulled me closer to give me a gentle, lingering kiss which left me craving more.

"Come on Jules, why don't we move this into the bedroom?" I asked.

At the moment, I completely forgot about Jack and how nervous I was that she might still have feelings for him.

She smiled again and replied, "I think that is a marvelous idea, Mr. Lafleur."

I grinned, everything sounded ten times better when she said it, even my fake name.

I swooped Juliet up into my arms, both of us smiling and laughing, and attempted to carry her into the bedroom...........
