A/N: Thanks for reviewing! I'm not sure how long this story will continue for...maybe one more chapter after this or something like that. Maybe more...anyways, here is chapter two!
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost, the characters, or the song Good-bye My Lover by James Blunt.
"What?" Jack yelled at Juliet from his side of the glass.
"Jack...Kate lied." Juliet said. "This isn't your island. Your island isn't too far away, but..."
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
"Shut up!" Jack yelled. "I want to talk to her. Bring Kate in here right now!"
"I can't do that Jack..." Juliet said softly.
"Do it now!" Jack said.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals
Jack couldn't believe this. Kate had gone behind him...lied to him. And he had actually saved Ben...he was more angry and hurt right now then he had been when Sarah had left him.
"I can't bring her here Jack..." Juliet said, shaking her head. "Ben wouldn't like that."
"I just saved Ben's life! Now, you're going to bring Kate here, and let me talk to her. You're not going to watch us on the monitors. You want to know why? Because your people just killed Sawyer. Did you know that she...she loved him?" Jack said, shaking his head.
"I'm sorry Jack..." Juliet said.
"Sorry isn't good enough anymore." Jack spat back.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Juliet looked at him for a minute. Jack's back was turned towards her, but he could feel her eyes on him.
Finally, Juliet spoke up again.
"Alright, I'll bring Kate."
Space
Kate looked ahead blankly, not looking at anything in particular, and letting her mind wonder. They had taken Sawyer's body away quite some time ago, to bury it, they had told her. She doubted that though. Before they had taken him away, she had grabbed something out of his pocket. The letter.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
She hadn't read it, just simply put it in her pocket, next to Tom's plane.
She didn't know what she was going to do. Sawyer was gone. Jack was mad at her from when he saw her with him. She was still trapped in this place, only now it was quiet. She and Sawyer were usually talking during this time of the day. Eating fish biscuits.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure come out of the building. The lady that had watched them while they had worked it the quarry. Kate returned to just starring straight ahead.
"Hi." The lady said as she came up to the cage.
Kate didn't reply.
"Okay...well I'm Juliet." She said.
Kate nodded slightly, but didn't look at her.
Juliet shook her head. "Why Kate? Why didn't you let Ben die? We killed the man you love..."
"Because Ben doesn't deserve to die." Kate replied softly. "He's not the one who killed Sawyer...but it doesn't matter anymore anyways. There's no escape. I'm stuck here."
Juliet looked at her, and then slowly opened the cage. "I trust that you won't try to run away...Jack wants to see you."
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
"Why the hell would Jack want to see me?" Kate asked bitterly.
"Just come with me Kate." Juliet said.
Kate reluctantly got up, and followed Juliet into the building, already knowing why Jack wanted to see her.
Space
As the door opened, Jack immediately got up and went to the glass. Juliet came in first, with Kate not far behind her. Kate didn't even look up at Jack as she came in, as there seemed to be something very interesting about the floor at this time. Juliet looked at Jack once, nodded slightly, and then went out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Kate stood in the middle of the room on her side of the glass, still looking at the floor intently. Her expression was impossible to read. Jack looked down and sighed.
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
"I want to know why Kate." Jack said. "Why you didn't just tell me that we weren't on our stupid island!"
Kate flinched when he yelled, taking a step back. She didn't answer him though.
"I don't get it Kate." Jack said, beginning to pace his cell. "They have killed some of our people. Kidnapped us, tortured us, and they killed Sawyer! And you just...lie to save them?"
"We killed one of them, Jack!" Kate yelled back. She then shook her head, and lowered her voice almost to a whisper. "It was someone one of them loved..."
"And they killed Sawyer." Jack said. "They made Michael kill Ana Lucia and Libby..."
"Then why didn't you kill him during the surgery?" Kate asked.
Jack looked down. "Because...I was afraid what he was going to do to you." Jack said. "And he promised he would send me home."
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Kate starred at him, and then took another step back, shaking her head. "No...Jack. We need...we need you back at camp. Without a doctor...we can't survive with you being there Jack."
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
"I know Kate..."
"Then you can't leave!" She yelled at him.
"I'm not going to..." Jack said.
"Then...why?"
"Because Kate..." Jack said, closing his eyes, to hold back the tears he felt coming. "You're going."
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
"What?" Kate said. "Jack..."
"Kate, they can't make it without me. You said it yourself." Jack said. "They'll give you directions, and then you can run again. It's better then being here..."
"No Jack..." Kate said, coming up to where he was at the glass, and leaning against it. She wished she could get through this glass. Get to Jack.
"Kate, they'll let us go. I'll go back, and you can escape." Jack said. "It's the only way that you're going to get back."
"Why are you doing this Jack?" Kate whispered. "You saw me with Sawyer...I thought you were mad..."
"We're still friends Kate." Jack said with no emotion in his voice.
Kate put her hand up to his on the glass. Hers looked so small compared to his...
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
"No Jack...I'm not leaving without you." She said. "I lost Sawyer, and I can't lose you too. I'm sorry about all of this Jack. I just...can't go."
"You don't have a choice Kate..."
"Why not?"
"Because," Jack said. "If they did anything to you, I would never forgive myself."
"Then...let's just both go back to camp." Kate said. "We can tell them to leave us alone...they owe us that."
"No." Jack said. "You..."
But before he could finish his sentence, Juliet opened the door again. "The boat is ready Kate. You can go home now."
"I'm not going." Kate said.
"I'm sorry Kate." Juliet said. "But Jack is the one who saved Ben. He says what happens now."
With that, two men came in. They were going to get Kate to get onto the boat and go home, even if they had to drag her there. Jack's orders.
Each one went on either side of her, and led her to the door. Jack didn't watch her go. His eyes stayed glued to the floor. A single tear rolled down his cheek. This was the last time he was going to see Kate...and that hit him hard.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Space
As Kate was led onto a dock, a boat pulled up beside it. Juliet came up to her.
"Ben says thanks...for not letting him die." Juliet said. "Now where do you want to go...we can get you anywhere you want to go..."
Kate looked down and thought for a moment.
"The only place I want to go is back to our island." Kate said.
Juliet shook her head. "We can't do that Kate."
"Jack said I could go anywhere." Kate replied. "I want to go to the other island again."
Juliet shook her head, but then said "Alright."
"And..." Kate said. "I don't want you to tell Jack."
"Of course." Juliet said. "Anything else?"
Kate swallowed the lump in her throat.
"Yeah. I want to bring Sawyer's body back to bury it."
Space
Jack stared at the sea. "Is Kate safe?"
"Yes." Juliet said.
Jack sighed. "Even though I didn't like it that much...I'm going to miss being on this island." He said.
"Yeah." Juliet said. "I'm going to miss having you here."
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Jack smiled, and Juliet smiled back. He then got on the boat, and gave one last wave to Juliet before the boat pulled away.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
As soon as they were a ways away, Jack began to feel emptiness. He didn't have Juliet. He didn't have Kate. Heck, he didn't even have Sawyer anymore. No friends...sure he knew everyone else around camp, but all his best friends seemed to leave him.
And he admitted, he had felt something for Juliet. Maybe it was because she looked so much like Sarah...but he doubted that.
She had not been like the rest. She had trusted him. Now, everything he ever knew seemed to be gone. Now he was just going back to a place where people wanted him to do everything. They were never going to get rescued. Never going to get off of this...these islands. He sat down, closed his eyes, and drowned out the feelings with emptiness. Emptiness was better then them.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
A/N: Hope you liked this chapter! It took a while to finish. I still don't know if I should go on anymore then this...Maybe? You tell me!
