Chapter 2...I think a few more chapters will follow this one. It's kinda short, but I have a short attention span )

The next morning, Kate woke up and walked over to their 'kitchen' to get some breakfast. She stopped, however, when she saw Jack only fifteen feet from her, loading a few bags with some food and a few medical supplies. Once he left and walked towards the direction of the raft, Kate proceeded to get some breakfast. There, she saw Hurley talking to Libby, one of the tailies.

"Hey, Hurley, do you know where Jack's going?"

He looked over at her. "Oh, yeah, I heard he was going on the new raft, dude. I think they leave like, tomorrow morning." And he turned away.

Kate was quiet. Jack was going on the raft? What if something happened to him? What if he died never knowing the way Kate felt about him?

She ate her breakfast of bananas and mangoes, and then decided to take a walk through the jungle to clear her head.

She had been walking ten minutes or so, when she realized she was going in circles. Before she could walk on another path, however, she heard laughing. She crept up to the line of trees at the jungle's end and saw Jack, along with Hurley, Michael, and Sayid laughing. Kate got closer to them and sat down, hidden by the plants.

Jack was laughing the hardest. Whatever Hurley had said, it was funny. But when Kate looked closer at Jack, she realized he wasn't really laughing, only pretending it. In fact, he had a distant look in his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Kate jumped. It was Claire, again.

"Oh, I was just looking for fruit."

"On your butt staring at Jack?"

Kate looked at her and laughed half-heartedly. "Did you hear he's going on the raft?"

"Yeah. I don't know why, though."

Kate continued looking at Jack, who had resumed working. But then he stood up and yelled something to Michael, then walked off, alone. Kate knew this was her moment.

"Hey, Claire, I've got to go," she said, ad then ran off, following Jack. She could hear Claire's giggles behind her.

Kate saw Jack sifting through a pile of dead wood near the jungle's border.

"Are you seriously going on the raft?" She nearly shouted.

Jack looked up. "Oh, hey, Kate."

She just looked at him. "Well, are you?"

"Uh, yeah, I asked Michael yesterday, and he said that would be okay, so yeah, I'm going."

Kate stared at his eyes. They looked sad.

"And, why are you going?"

Jack laughed. "Kate, are you worried about me?"

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, it's just that, you know, you are finally talking to me now, and you just asked about the raft."

"No, I'm not worried! Why? Do you think I'm one of those weakling--princesses, in the Disney movies?"

"No, actually, I don't," Jack replied. "I think you don't need anyone to protect you, Kate."

"Well, good, because that's right. And you know, I could do lots better things that will help us get off this rock here, instead of risking my friggin life out on a piece of wood."

"Kate, what's wrong? You have no reason to be mad at me, I mean, you broke my heart. I should be really mad at you!"

They stared at eachother for a moment, not saying anything.

And then Kate leapt into Jack's arms, crying.

"I'm sorry, I'm so so so sorry, I didn't mean any of it!" She cried.

"I know, me too," Jack said quietly, holding her close to him. He breathed in the scent of her hair. Then they separated, still looking at eachother.

"Umm..." Kate stared at the ground, fidgeting. That made Jack feel awkward, so he looked at his feet. And then they both raised their heads and looked at each other.

"I think, I'm in love with you?" Kate said, almost as if questioning herself.

Jack was silent. He didn't know what to say.

"Oh my God," Kate said. "I should not have said that, I'm sorry." And she began to walk away.

"No, no Kate, wait," Jack grabbed onto her arm and she looked at him.

"I'm in love with you too," He said, staring at her right in her eyes.

Kate gave out a little laugh. "Really?"

"Yeah. Ever since we first crashed on the island. When you first were stitching me up."

Kate smiled. "That's all I could ask for," she said.

They looked at each other for a short moment and then brought their faces closer together and kissed.

It wasn't desperate, like the last one, it was sweet. And when they broke apart, they were both smiling.

"Don't run away again," Jack joked, and they both laughed.

"Don't worry," Kate replied, grinning, "No chance of that."

Together, they walked back to the camp, catching up on the past few weeks that they were not talking. Everyone started to stare when they saw the two together, but Jack and Kate just ignored it, not really caring if the whole world knew.

It was later, and they were sitting by a campfire. Out of the corner of her eye, Kate saw Claire looking at the two, a smile on her face.

"So seriously, were you checking me out?" Kate asked.

"Look, I already told you, I was thinking!"

"Right."

"I'm being serious!"

They laughed and were happy.
