I know I said I'd update earlier, but I tend to just update whenever I feel like it. Don't let that make you mad. Also, I checked my stats, and 164 people read the first chapter, and I only got 3 reviews. That just ain't good enough people. If I don't get many reviews I tend to stop caring, and then I don't bother updating.

Claire smiled as she watched him come out of his tent, shirtless. She was happy, something that wasn't regular since Charlie had left her. At first, she'd tried to convince herself that it was her own fault. She'd even let him keep seeing Aaron, just so she could keep seeing him, but after a couple of weeks, she'd realized that it wasn't her fault. He was the one who had left her; he had got bored and gone off with some slutty bitch who loved his shitty band.
Sawyer had helped her realize that. One night she'd gone to him for some alcohol; something to drown her sorrows with. She'd given Aaron to Sun for the night – by then Sun was due to have the baby, and she needed the practice, and Aaron wasn't much trouble any more. Sawyer had given her the alcohol, on the condition that she'd drink with him. She agreed, thinking that it might be good to have some company. After a few drinks, she'd got upset, started crying, and telling him all about Charlie and what he'd done to her. And he hadn't gone all awkward and embarrassed like she'd expected him to, like Charlie had when she got upset – instead, he'd hugged her, wiped her tears away, and told her that she didn't need Charlie, told her that everything was going to be okay. She had fallen asleep in his arms, he must have taken her back to her tent, because when she woke up that's where she was, and he was gone.
He thought she had drank too much to remember that night, but she hadn't. It made her feel all warm inside just thinking about it. It was one of her happiest moments on the island. It was one of the happiest moments of her life.
She watched him as he sat down, then jumped up and started shouting curse words when he realized he'd sat down with his glasses in his back pocket. He got them out, inspected them, and seemed to think they were okay. He sat down again and pulled out a book, it was a new one, she couldn't see the title from where she was but she knew the last one he had read was Lord of the Flies, A book she'd always wanted to read but never got around to doing it.
She wished she could go and talk to him 'Why shouldn't I?' she thought to herself, 'there's no harm in it' but as soon as she'd decided that, she saw Kate walk up and talk to him. Jealousy started to burn in the pit of her stomach, even though she knew Kate was with Jack and she was just being stupid. No matter how much she told herself this, she still felt jealous.
