In the boat with Karl, escaping from the others, Kate was still crying. She couldn't help it. She was scared. Sawyer wasn't looking t her, she wasn't looking at him Karl's breathes quickened and both Kate and Sawyer looked at him, then they looked at each other.
"Must save her…" Karl screamed. He jumped out of the boat in h\the dark water. Kate's eyes widened. Karl was slowly sinking. Sawyer began to take off his shirt. He hesitated when he saw the water swirl." Sawyer don't!" Kate cried and looked at him with the eyes he loved. Now Karl's faded body was almost invisible in the dark waves. Now without hesitation Sawyer jumped in.
"No!" yelled Kate and cradled the side of the boat. After what seemed like hours, with tears in her eyes, she panicked. She jumped in after Sawyer. A few seconds later, Sawyer lifted Karl into the boat and Sawyer looked around hastily.
"Freckles, FRECKLES!" he screamed. He quickly plunged into the water. He finally saw Kate's motionless body. He fished her body out and laid her carefully in the boat. "Kate, Freckles, can you hear me?" he said, holding her close. Sawyer kissed her and rested her head against his chest.
"Please. Please God. Let her be alive. Please. I'll do anything. I'll let her be with Jack if she lives. Please." Sawyer held Kate so close and prayed.
"You'd let me be with jack?" asked Kate with a whisper. Sawyer smiled. "You okay freckles?" Sawyer asked attentively.
"You didn't answer my question." Kate stared at him.
"It doesn't matter." Sawyer answered looking away.
"It does to me." Kate said and his head and turned it to face her. He closed his eyes. "Look at me." she said. Sawyer shook his head.
" I wouldn't let you be with Jack." he looked at her. "I love ya freckles." Sawyer whispered in his sweet southern accent.
"Kate, Sawyer!" a voice yelled. They turned their heads. Locke was yelling. Sawyer and Kate realized that they had drifted closer to the island. Sawyer took a paddle, looking at Kate, Kate couldn't look at him. The visions of Jack dead in the hands of the others haunted her.
"Freckles, you okay?" Sawyer asked looking into the ocean. Kate just nodded and took Sawyer's hand. She took the paddle and let go of his hand quickly.
"Sorry." Kate said blushing.
"Don't be." Sawyer smiled sadly looking into the ocean.
