Title: All in time.

Rating: So far it's PG

Summary: This story takes place at the end of the season 3 finally. It's about how Jack and Kate get off the island, how they arrived at the point we saw in the flash forward, and if they make it back to the island. I'm going to focus mainly on the relationship between Jack and Kate, though other characters will be included in the story, the point of view will be primarily Jack and Kate's.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lost, or anyway of its characters, I'm just borrowing them for the story. No copyright infringement intended.

Chapter One

Going Back

"We have to go back!" Jacks words were now lost by the sound of the aircraft taking off just above him. He watched as the rear lights of her car disappeared into the darkness. She was gone. Kate had vanished along with the small amount of hope he had left in him. Jack didn't know why he thought this time would be different. That somehow the outcome would change. But it hadn't. She drove away, just like every other time Jack had tried to persuade her to come back to the island with him. He had a feeling that this was the last time that she would ever come back to see him.

Jack walked slowly back to his car, but instead of getting in, he leaned forward with his arm on the door frame and let his head rest there for a moment. The feeling of having failed once again was too much for Jack. He balled up all his anger and frustration into a fist, and plunged it through the window. The pain in Jack's hand was nothing compared to the constant agony he felt in his heart. Locke had been right all along. He warned Jack, and told him that he wasn't supposed to make that call. Had he only been able to see the dangers, or known that it would turn out to be the day that Jack would come to regret for the rest of his life, he never would have made that call. The ramifications of that day haunted Jack and it sent him spiraling into depression, which led to his alcoholism and drug addiction. Jack knew it was his fault for letting his relationship with Kate fall apart. He pushed her away, though it was not his intention to do so. If only somehow Jack could get back to the island, perhaps he could get the chance to make things right. It was something he knew he had to fix, if it was in any way possible. Jack found the island before and was determined to find it again.

(Ok so I know it's short, but I promise the next one is longer.)
