Right and Wrong
Hey guys!! Back with a new fic that's always been on my mind. So much so that I had written a rough draft of it the other night. So now I've decided to add it to my list of never ending fics, hehe ; and if anyone else has touched on this premise or done something similar to it then I'm sorry. Hope you guys will like it and as always your feedback is more than welcome ;)
Summary : Jack's a newly assigned T.A. working in the Arts of Science department at UCLA. His main goal in life is to really become a Doctor someday. Now will he strive to make that a reality or is the real dream a lot closer than he would have anticipated.
Disclaimer. Do NOT own lost or any of it's characters, especially Jack and Kate as that is boldly stated in the restraining order I was issued lol.
BTW : Claire's character might seem a little OCC in this fic but there is a reason for it.
Enjoy
The sun was just about visible to signify the proper start of the day but he was too wired to sleep it off until then. His nerves managing to get the better of him yet again, but thanks to the constant support he gained from his best friend Marc the entire time, he was brave enough to take this step. A step he assured him was the best way to move on from the nightmare of his past. One that had held him back from pursuing what he wanted out of life.
5 hours, 32 minutes, 3 seconds later and he was rushing around the entire scatter he still called a living room. A thing he still meant to clear up, but of course he never got around to doing it. Never the less he miraculously managed to find what he needed for his first day, and with checking over his things once more, he nodded to himself in satisfaction and left his apartment. Bracing himself for what was to come with this new life.
(Meanwhile)
"So, same old people eh?" she heard a voice speak and then sigh behind her, but the humour and familiarity within their tone was what restricted her from going on the defensive. Instead all she did was partially turn herself around to acknowledge this person's presence. The gesture earning her a half hearted chuckle.
"So what did you do over the summer?" the person then asked as they placed themselves directly beside the brunette. Them having to then catch up with the brunette's pace as she walked down to her first class which she was already running late for. Three years later and she was still worried about things like this. Despite the exclusive facilities they got for being Seniors. One of them being that they could walk into class at any time. Although that was more so Claire's way of thinking.
That's a good start to a new semester, the brunette kept on telling herself while she also tried to think and sum up what she had been up to over the holidays. Well most of it was spent at her boyfriend's house, due to the fact that her parents were fighting once again. Although these days the fights they had branched more into the physical variety.
At one point her own Father had her by the throat, ready to end her right there and then after yet another night of drinking, but thankfully her Mother had put herself between and on the line for her. The outcome of this disruption leading her to gain another nasty black eye, and still the brunette wondered why she still stayed with him. Was love that blind?, she wondered, and if so what was the thing that made it worth fighting for.
"Kate? Earth to Kate…..helloooo."
"Huh….oh what, um…. what's that?" the thinking woman stuttered to ask as she tried to get a hold on her flowing thoughts. Each one still not making sense to her in the slightest and in the end all she got out of it was a headache.
"Well I was just saying………Oh my God who is that." the blonde woman started off and then finished in a purring like manner. Her eyes already taking note to survey every detail of the more than pleasing sight she was witnessing at the moment.
The brunette on the other hand just rolled her eyes at the blonde's never ending flirtatious streak. I swear sometimes she was ten times worse than a man. Never the less she just laughed it off and literally dragged the blonde along with her to class instead.
"Spoil my fun why don't you." the blonde stated with a pout as she reluctantly continued onto class.
"Spoil your fun? Since when has that ever come in short supply for you." The smiling brunette replied with a raise of eyebrows, and before she could elaborate any further on that statement, the blonde then found herself being hugged from behind by her boyfriend of 10 months……..
"Hey Kate." the man offered the woman who stood beside his girlfriend looking on at the scene with a smile on her face. If only she could find something like that someday.
"Hey Charlie" the brunette replied in a normal and casual manner. Her sense of familiarity with these people showing ever so strongly through her tone.
"What are you doing here?" the blonde inquired breaking the moment of silence that followed after the friendly verbal exchange.
"Oh, nothing just wanna see my best girl off on her first day back. That... and to do this." the small blonde man started off and then paused to physically show her what he meant. Although they were forced to pull apart only minutes later. Not only cause it was considered public indecency on these grounds, but also cause of the dragged out "awww" coming from the brunette as well.
"Okay, okay enough with the "awwws" or I'll make you pay." the blonde warned the brunette with hint of a smile adorning her fair features.
"Yeah right." Kate muttered, but it was clear enough for the blonde to hear and she was about to react, but thankfully the man behind her sensed what was about to erupt and with that he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back into his form. Her being forced to relinquish into his warmth, but secretly she was more than enjoying it.
"Awwww now that's sweet." was what the brunette said before she belted it down the rest of the corridor. The blonde now hot on her heels, and surprisingly it didn't take her long to catch up with the brunette. Being that she had collided with the very man she was eyeing earlier.
"Sorry." the green eyed woman attempted to offer while she lowered herself to help him with the scatter of papers that now lay on the floor.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." he coaxed while he too scrounged around for his abandoned notes. The brunette then taking note of what was on those papers as well.
"So are you one of those science nerds or something?" she expressed before her mind took the time to think of what she had just said, and before she could accompany her statement with a apology of some kind he was off. Leaving her to do nothing but beat herself up for saying the wrong thing yet again, and with a decent guy none the less.
"Wow, that was quick." the blonde commented with an expression of genuine shock adorning her features.
"Yeah" the brunette replied feeling nothing but regret for what she had done.
So what do you think guys? Deserving enough for a continuation? It's all up to you guys!! Come next (possible) chap and we'll start to see some proper introductions and interactions between the main characters and who knows I may actually get to complete this one being that I pretty much know where I want to go with it, hehe. Although dont worry cause the jate will surface. At some points stronger than ever.
