" In My dreams"
Jack sat up quickly, his heart pounding hard in his chest and his hands shaking from the terrifying nightmare he just had. No it wasn't about the monster or what ever that thing is that chases them through the jungle, no it was much worse than that. He'd dreamn't about Kate, not the normal beautiful glowing Kate, but the cold covered in blood, dying Kate. The fact that in Jack's dream he couldn't save her, it was the worst feeling he had ever felt in his life, everyone says that in a dream you can't feel pain, well Jack could, he felt everything, every scream of agony, he felt the pain of his heart breaking as Kate died in his arms….. and he could do nothing, which was the most horrific pain of all.
Jack was so shook up by this dream, he couldn't get the images out of his head, and he had to, they were tearing him apart.
He rested his head against the wall behind the bunk beds. Rubbing the back of his neck with his hands he whispered to himself " It was just a dream…..just a dream" and then buried his face in his hands.
Jack need to see Kate, he needed to make sure he was ok, make sure it 'was' just a dream.
He looked at his watch "3:30am", ok it was late but it didn't matter to Jack he had to see Kate, no matter what.
With that in mind he jumped out of bed and bolted out the hatch door leaving a very confused Locke by himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As Jack ran through the jungle the images of Kate flashed in his head, a tear rolled down his cheek but it was quickly wiped away, even with no one around Jack hated showing weakness.
He stopped running when he felt sand beneath his feet, he'd reached the beach at last.
Quietly Jack walked past the campers tents. He spotted Kate's tent, he took in a deep breath before he went to pull back the tarp. Why? He didn't know, he was only going to see if she was there and breathing , then head back to the hatch, why was he so nervous?…… Maybe he was preparing himself in case he pulled back the tarp and she wasn't there.
Jack slowly pulled back the tarp….. His heart returned to a steady beat and he let out the breath he'd been holding, lying on her airline seat bed, sound asleep, with a smile on her face was Kate. She looked so peaceful, so breath takingly beautiful.
Jack went to turn around and exit her tent, but just Jack's luck he stubbed his toe off the metal pole that was holding Kate's tarp up, from the clanging noise it made Kate jumped up breathing heavy from the fright. She was startled and confused to see Jack standing in her tent… in his boxers, he looked like he just woke up from a rough night…… "I didn't……we didn't……no… I would remember doing it with Jack" Kate though to herself.
" Hey…" Jack said nervously.
" Emm hey…. Why are you in my tent?" she asked, moving herself so she was facing him.
" Uh nothing….I was uh…" Jack didn't know what to tell her, what was he going to say, he'd had a bad dream… he would loose major macho points if he said that " It's nothing"
Kate giggles slightly at his shyness " Jack it must have been something, if it made you come to me at 4 am…. In your boxers" she said, and blushed slightly at the last part of her sentence.
Jack looked down, he opened his eyes wide " Oh crap" how did he not notice he was only in his boxers.
Kate had to bite her lip to hold in her laughter when Jack's face turned a crimson colour.
" Now something must definitely be bothering you if you didn't even realise you were in your boxers" Kate said smiling from ear to ear
" Uhm…." Jack said still trying to come up with an answer in his head.
" What.. did Jacky have a bad dream?" Kate said playfully
Jack's head shoot up at the words bad dream and he looked at her straight in the eyes.
Kate's expression quickly changed to worry and concern when she saw the hurt and scared look in Jack's deep brown eyes.
The concern was really heavy in her heart when a tear rolled down Jack's cheek.
" Awe Hey Jack its ok, what ever it is, its ok" Kate said compassionately and stood in front of Jack and pulled him into a loving embrace. Jack returned the embrace without hesitation.
He wrapped his arms tightly around her body, he took in her smell, the feel of their skin touching, and the feel of her heart beating against his chest, the fact that they were holding each other like this was pure heaven to Jack.
Without breaking their embrace Kate whispered to Jack "Do you want to tell me what it was about, talking about it might help" Kate felt Jack tense a little in her arms.
"Uh…It was about you…" Now Kate tensed
" I uh had a dream that you were injured badly, and eh …I… I couldn't save you… there was nothing I could do…. And then you … you died in my arms… the fear and pain was unimaginable…. There was nothing I could do for you, and you died…. And I… I .. I" Tears were now steaming down Jack's Face, he didn't care anymore about having to look strong, he had to let it out.
" Oh My God Jack… Hey its ok…its ok…it's ok now" Kate said in the most heart felt voice " You don't have to be scared now, its all over ok"
" No… I felt you died in my arms Kate, I watched as the life slipped out of you, and I couldn't save you" Jack cried
" But Jack I didn't die, I'm here with you, holding you, I'll never let you go Jack"
" And I'll never let you go Kate, never….. I Love you so much Kate, I love you so much" He said as he caressed her face
" I Love you to Jack, with all my heart, it will always belong to you and no one else"
Jack cupped her face and looked deep into her sparkling green eyes, he leaned down slowly and took her lips in his. The kiss was not intense, but soft and passionate, with so much feeling and heart felt emotion and Love driving it.
They finally pulled away for air and rested their foreheads against one another's.
" Come on, you need to get some sleep" Kate said in between the little kisses they placed on each others lips and face.
" Yeah ok"
With that they slid into Kate's bed, they were facing one another, Jack's arms was wrapped around Kate and she was snuggled into Jack's strong, safe chest.
" Kate….." Jack whispered
" Yeah"
" I'm scared to go to sleep" he said his voice shakey
" You don't have to be, because I'll be here with you, I'll always be with you Jack, in life and in death, I won't ever leave your heart , I'll always be with you" she said in an almost distant voice.
" You sound like your about to die"………..
Jack sat up quickly, his heart was pounding in his chest and his hands were shaking.
He just had a dream that he thought Kate had died……….was it a dream…….Jack felt something cold in his hand……he looked up…..his heart stopped ……. tears streamed down his face……. For there lying on the bed was Kate…a cold lifeless Kate, her body and clothes covered in blood, tear stains on her face………………
It wasn't a dream, Kate had died in Jack's arms, and there was nothing her could do to save her, he'd lost the woman he loved, the woman his heart was created for, he'd lost Kate.
Jacks heart broke in two and he broke down into tears, all the pain he felt in what he thought was a dream was real.
Without Kate there in his life he might as well be dead, he'll never be able to go on living without her……..Kate's dead…………and now so is he…..
