Yay! We're almost half way through season one!! COOL!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost- yet.
"Ew! Get him out of there!" Shannon screamed. My eyes opened to see Shannon yelling at the dog, who had been drinking from the creek. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes.
"You okay?" Boone asked me. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah, just… tired," I said, looking back down at my knees. Boone sat next to me and stared at me.
"Still having those dreams?" He asked me. I nodded slowly. For the past few nights, I couldn't sleep. I kept having the same dream. A blonde woman was screaming, and a man kept hitting her, and a baby was crying. It was a really frightening dream, and every time I had the dream, I couldn't go back to sleep- which was why I was so tired. "Do you think they mean anything?" Boone asked.
"Who knows," I said, taking a sip of water from the bottle at my feet. "I don't really care. I just want so God damned sleep." We laughed a little.
"Well, try to get some sleep," Boone said, standing up.
"You too!" I yelled after him. I laid back down, and rest my head on the small airline pillow, closing my eyes until any light from the fires around me had died.
"Help!" The woman screamed. A man around her yelled.
"Get off! Help! Stop!" He yelled. The other man hit him hard. He was bleeding. Blood covered everyone. The blonde woman screamed as the man held her hands together and bound them. He had a needle and pushed it into her skin. She screamed louder, praying, and swearing at the same time. Her screams faded, though, and she was nearly unconscious. Everything looked hazy, and I couldn't see anything. The man looked up, and all I heard was running. And then a scream from a girl. My own scream.
I sat up quickly in my bed and looked around. The fires had died, and everyone was asleep. I laid back down, and looked up at the trees canopying over me. I closed my eyes, and prayed I would fall back asleep. I knew I wouldn't, though.
I slipped on my left shoe, and tied it quickly. The sneakers were more comfortable, now that I had worn them in. I walked over to where Michael was showing something on a notepad to Jack.
"What're you doing?" I asked them. They looked up at me.
"Michael… he drew out this great aqua duct. Looks good," Jack said.
"Hey guys!" Charlie yelled to us. I turned around. "Hurley's all worked up about something. Said we should come see it." We followed Charlie out of the caves and into a part of the jungle that consisted only of taller grass and rolling hills.
"Welcome!" Hurley yelled out to us. He was holding a bamboo stick in one hand with a floral shirt on it, and had golf clubs in the other. "To the first and, hopefully, last Island Open!"
"What?" Jack asked, not sure he understood.
"It's two holes, for now, three par, and no waiting!" Hurley said, excited about his creation.
"Hurley… you built a golf course?" Jack asked, still in disbelief.
"Rich idiots fly to tropical islands all the time to whack balls around!" Hurley reminded us.
"All the stuff we gotta deal with, man… this is what you've been spending your time on?" Michael complained. I laughed a little.
"Dudes, listen! Our lives suck! Everyone's nerves are stretched to the max. I mean, we're lost on an island, runnin' from boars, and monsters… freakin' polar bears!" He laughed.
"Polar Bears?"
"You didn't hear about the Polar Bear?"
"Look, all I'm sayin' is if we're stuck here, then just surviving's not gonna cut it. We need some kinda relief, you know? We need some way that we can… you know, have fun! That's right, fun! Or else we're gonna go crazy just waiting for the next bad thing to happen!" Jack and Michael looked at each other skeptically. I laughed a little.
"I'm game!" I said.
"I'm up for it, Hurley, how 'bout you two?" Charlie looked to Jack and Michael. They shook their heads and walked towards Hurley.
"Yeah!" I yelled, running up the hill.
"So, how we gonna do this?" Jack asked.
"You and Michael on a team, cause you're skeptical, uptight losers, and Charlie and Hurley, cause they're cool," I suggested.
"Oye, what about you?" Charlie asked.
"I suck at golf, no one wants me on their team," I laughed. "I'll be the cady!"
"Fair enough," Michael said. Everyone grabbed a club, and, for once, everyone around me was smiling and having fun.
Everyone was there. Boone, Shannon, Kate… everyone wanted to come out and see the great Dr. Jack play golf. Hurley sucked pretty bad- I probably could've done better than him, but it was fun to watch.
"Aw, crap, do over!" Hurley said, after hitting the ground with his golf club.
"It's a mulligan, mulligan. It's a gentleman's sport, you gotta get the words right: mulligan," Charlie instructed. Charlie walked behind Hurley and tried to show him how to golf.
"Dude, get off me!" Hurley demanded. We all laughed as he hit the ground again with his golf club.
"I've never made par on a course before," Charlie informed us, as he his last ball towards the hole, and missed and screamed.
"Jack, it's up to you. Sink this, and you'll get to wear the blazer!" Michael rubbed his hands together.
"No pressure," Kate said softly.
"Yeah, no pressure," Charlie whispered, handing his golf club to Jack.
"Five bucks says he sinks it," Hurley whispered.
"Mate, you're betting against me?" Charlie asked, nearly offended.
"Sorry, dude, but you're a duffer like me," Hurley said, staring at Jack.
"Make it ten, and you're on," Boone yelled to him.
"I don't have any cash, but I'll bet my dinner on the doc," Sullivan said. Everyone "oo-ed" at his impressive bet. We'd been having so much fun- it was easy to laugh right now.
"I got two tubes of sunscreen and a flashlight says he chokes," Sawyer said. I turned to see him, smiling smugly at his appearance. No one really smiled but me. I was happy to see him doing something we all liked- maybe he was making a change for the better?
"I'll take that action," Kate said, kind of softly, like she wasn't completely assured of her decision.
"Yeah," Boone said behind me, smiling at me. "Yeah, me too."
"You just bet on Jack, dumbass," Shannon reminded him.
"We need sunscreen, princess," Boone smiled at her.
"Me too," I added. Sawyer's smile spread across his face as I laughed. We all stared at Jack, waiting for his move.
"Dude, you choked," Hurley said, shocked.
"Ah, the great doctor falls," Sawyer laughed.
"So there, Hurley! 'At's what you get for bettin' against me!" Charlie laughed. I walked over to Sawyer.
"Happy?" I asked him. He laughed.
"You ain't got no clue," He chuckled. He put his arm around my shoulders, and we walked back down the hill.
"Thanks for coming," I said, leaning my head against the side of his chest.
"What, miss a doc playin' golf? Never heard such nonsense," Sawyer laughed. I wrapped my arm around his back.
"Thank you," I smiled up at him. He looked down at me and smiled back. We looked at the jungle a while before we went into it, though, like we were afraid of being separated. I just leaned on him, and he kept me close to him. I smiled warmly. Sawyer, my Sawyer, was back.
Yay, sweet ending! I know this one was shorter, but don't worry! IT'S ALL GOOOOD!!
