I have to again, say thanks to all those of you who reviewed. Sawyer will be gone now, but he will be coming back. There is a reason why Jack didn't tell Sawyer about Kate. And anyway, if he would have told him, Sawyer still wouldn't have been able to visit Kate. I mean, think about it: What doctor would let you go and see someone who you aren't even a family member to and when the patient is in a life-or-death situation?! But anyway, enough of my rambling. The next chapter is here. Enjoy and please review!

Chapter 6: Life's Not Fair

That night was extremely difficult for Jack. Whatever he tried to do, whatever came up, it was always about Kate. He could not stop thinking about her. He cared about her too much.

The next day he went to work again, as usual. Nothing came up that day. He decided to see Kate in his lunch break so he walked over to her room but something stopped him.

'No, I'm sorry, Dr. Shepherd. She cannot see anyone at the moment. Something has come up and we have to sort it out by ourselves.' her doctor told him. Another few doctors were in there together with a whole room of nurses, trying to calm her down. Amongst all this chaos, cries of anger and pain were heard from the nurses, as they tried to help her but everything that they tried failed.

'What is happening to her? You said she was fine before!' Jack screamed at him. He could hear the monitor beeping louder and louder as the crew tried to help her. Doctors rushed in and out of the room, getting their instruments, or whatever they could to help her.

'Yes, but now we don't know what it wrong. We think it might be something to do with her broken rib that could have entered deeper and punctured the lungs. Look, I have to go now to help her.' he said as he started entering the room.

'Uh... okay. You-you go and do that.' Jack said plainly still not believing that Kate could die any second now.

'Look, Jack. We know you care about Kate. Just go home and have a rest. You need it. If she gets better then we'll tell you and you can come and see her. We are trying our best.' the doctor said, sympathetically. Jack understood all of this but he couldn't just leave. He needed to see her... it could be the last time he saw her.

'We really need help. She's getting worse.' a nurse said with a worried expression on her face as she came to get the doctor.

'Yeah, I'm coming. Just one second.' he told her and then turned back to Jack. 'Try not to think too much about it. I'm sure that she wants you to.' he said as he put a hand on his shoulder and smiled sadly. He then turned around and with a sigh, walked into Kate's room.

Jack looked sadly at Kate's room. He couldn't belive that Kate could die any second now, and he wasn't there for her. He slowly walked to the window and touched it lightly as he tried to see her in between the chaos. She could not be seen. With a sigh, Jack sat down on the hospital chair and looked down. He knew what to do: he would sit right here until they told him he could go in. That's what he would do. To pass the time he made a whole list, in his mind, about things which were not fair about all of this.

It's not fair that Kate is in this situation.

It's not fair that he could not go in and at least hold her hand.

It's not fair that he didn't tell her how much he loved her before they parted ways from the island.

But what was he thinking?! It couldn't get better. Kate was in there, and it could be a while until she woke up. He had to face it: life's not fair.
