A Life Worth Living
Chapter 3: Dealing
"I believe you"
Sawyer was surprised by these words. He hadn't expected Sayid to believe him. He was expecting the man to knock him out and tie him to a tree and torture him for a crime he didn't commit or something.
"Why?" he asked blankly.
"You are acting quite different. You haven't given me a nickname or a one-liner yet." Sayid let out a small smile that quickly faded. "….But it is mostly because of your eyes. Eyes tell many things. When I look in your eyes I see a man who lost someone very special to them. I see a great deal of pain." Sayid explained.
"She isn't dead, but things aren't looking good." Sawyer stated sadly. The two men sat in silence for a long time before Sawyer spoke. "How did you deal with Shannon dieing?"
"I haven't. I cannot forget. But it always crosses my mind that wherever she is now has to be better then what we are dealing with here. It is hard to forget a loved one. I still feel her. I feel the way it was to run my hand through her hair. To smell her hair. I feel the way it was to hold her hand and kiss her lips. I still see her smiling at me sometimes." Sayid explained with misery in his voice.
"At least you got to do those things" Sawyer sighed.
"Yes, but either way, it is hard loosing a loved one." Sayid said.
"What makes you think I love Kate?" Sawyer asked Sayid.
Sayid didn't answer. He just smiled.
"Come on now. I will talk to Jack." He said, leading Sawyer out of his tent.
"Come" Sayid motioned with his hand as they approached Jack and Kate. "Stay here and sit" He said pointing a rock out to Sawyer. Usually he wouldn't act like anybody'sdamn dog, but this was different. Sawyer sat on the rock a tried to decipher what Jack was saying to Sayid. Jack nodded to Sayid, then to Sawyer. Sawyer got up off the rock and made his way over to them.
"Along with the bullet wound, she hit her head pretty hard. I'm not sure what affect it will have on her until she wakes up though." Jack explained without looking up at Sawyer. "You can stay here with her and I'll leave, but if anything and I mean anything happens, shout." Jack said leaving with Sayid.
Sawyer was now alone with her. He looked down at her shallow breathing. He held her hand softly. He bent down and kissed her lips, desperately hoping she'd give something back. Sawyer begged Kate to smile at him, for her green eyes to sparkle the way they did when she did smile. He gently picked up her head and kissed her forehead and ran his hand through her hair. But Sawyer didn't like the way her hair smelled.
It smelled of death.
