AU – It's been 3 years since the rescue of the 815 flight. Both Kate and Sawyer haven't seen each other for 3 years and things have changed some for the better some for the worse. What will happen when they finally see each other again? Jate at the beginning but eventually Skate.

Ok felt like doing a new fic I'm not sure how this is going to turn out but this is what I have so far

Kate was sitting down at her table she was meant to be meeting Jack there he was running late but she had no idea why he told her he was going to finish work early so he could meet her it was all his idea yet he had failed to show up. She then heard her phone going off 'no he can't be doing this' she thought to herself she had an idea who was phoning her and why he was phoning her.

She lifted her cell to see Jack's caller ID showing up, she knew it. She thought the night would run smoothly but she should have known better she lifted her phone up and answered it

"Jack" She talked into the phone she knew why he was phoning.

"Kate hey I just needed to phone you to tell you I can't make it I've had to stay behind at the hospital there's been a big accident and they need all they help they can get sorry" Jack explained

"Ok bye" and with that Kate hung not giving him chance to say goodbye. She was starting to get sick of this she wanted at least one dinner with Jack which didn't involve him getting called out to work or having to stay behind. She was annoyed about it she thought that when she had finally given in into dating him it wouldn't be like this, it was better before they were together because they were able to spend time together.

She was lost in thought thinking how she had gone from being one of America's most wanted to this sitting in a restaurant alone being stood up by a guy for his work. She got up and decided there was no point in even staying there a moment longer Jack wasn't going to turn up. Keeping her head down she headed for the door quickly wanting to get out of there as soon as she could she had told herself that she was a changed person that none of that mattered who she was before the crash she was different but deep down she still knew she was an outcast and she shouldn't have to keep pretending she's someone she's not. He would have never wanted that from her he would have wanted her to be who she was the freckles he knew. With all the thinking going on in her head she didn't notice that she had bumped into someone looking up to apologize it took her a minute to process who it was she was stunned to who the person was and all that could come out her mouth was:

"James?"

They were both stunned to see each other she wondered what he was doing there and then saw a woman on his right then she realised what he was doing she just hoped he hadn't gone back to the person he used to be.

He was also stunned to see her out of all the people to have bumped into this was one he didn't want to not like this. He hadn't heard or spoken to her in 3 years and there she was looking more beautiful than ever.

"Hey freckles"

Kate didn't know what to say all she could do was run she didn't want to but it was in her nature to run and that's what she did she ran, ran as fast as she could to the entrance to get out of there and get her car and go home. She asked the boy at the front who looked like he had only just passed his drivers test she asked him to get and get her car. Waiting for her car she just hoped that he hadn't come out after her.

He stood there shocked he didn't know what to do go after her or stay where he was with his date and maybe never see her again. He was stuck he did want to see her again it had been too long

"Be right back baby" he told the blonde who was with him. She just nodded and went to their table. He then ran to the doors hoping to find her but when he got there her car was just driving away

"Son of a bitch" he muttered as he saw her car exiting. He didn't know whether he would ever get the chance to see her again but he knew that he would do everything he could to see her again. He had lost her once and he wasn't going to do that again.

So what did you think of it please review because I don't know whether to carry on with this or not I would also like to hear your ideas if you have any
