Chapter Four – Got my back
The flashes were hell, they hurt his head, and made his head hurt because he didn't understand them.
He figured his fear for Juliet was because he didn't want to be left on his own in this hell hole.
Thrown into the role of leader and making decisions he felt confident knowing he had support. It just took him a while to notice it was her.
It was oddly comforting to know she was looking out for him, both with a gun and with her mouth.
He knew that circumstances had thrown them together and forced them to work together, but it felt natural to work together, almost easy.
He couldn't pin point when he started to trust her, but he was damn well glad she had his back . . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~
Juliet was a woman of science, she had always had a thirst for understanding how things happened. This island had changed that, not only had her hunger for knowledge been crushed but her belief in the rules of science had been tested. There was no way to explain what was happening on this damned island.
The flashes where painful, but the feeling of helplessness was worse.
So she backed up James, at least if they kept active they wouldn't be sitting ducks, and it would give her less time to think about their impending doom.
He was a reluctant leader, but they needed one, he was their best shot.
He looked out for her, she couldn't remember when she started trusting him, but she noticed that he trusted her.
It made a bad situation a little better knowing someone had your back, she just hadn't planned on that person being him . . . .
