Chapter 10- Six days later

Six days have gone and the three haven't seen each other. Jack and Sawyer tried to keep their rage to themselves and as a sign of protest Kate decided to starve herself.

Kate- Protest

This wasn't her choice, Kate knew the others wanted them but she didn't know why or what. This is the only way to get the point across, of course she didn't want to die but she was in state of great desperation, desperate to see familiar faces, desperate for some company and desperate too see Jack.

They say everything happens for a reason, Kate didn't know about believing it or not. The plane crash, meeting Jack, was it fate? Well them she thought if it was real why did Tom die, why did her Mother die. These were the facts that made her think that no everything doesn't happen for a reason and if it did what were the reasons.

Not eating and the lack of sleep is suicide and every time Kate thinks about what she's getting into she just laughs, laughs at her stupidity and then she turns to the plate of food there just sitting almost tempting her to eat it but no Kate had self control 'this is the only way' she kept reminding herself.

Kate lied down on the bed thinking about the beach, she remembers how she love to sit there and just watching the waves dancing, it was almost like an orchestra, birds singing, waves dancing, the tree frog and the odd monster sound every now and again. She was lucky to be alive. When she was running from the law, she always wished she was dead, she was sick of running couldn't she just walk? Kate looks back and thinks how stupid she was wishing she was dead; if she was dead she wouldn't have met Jack.

Kate's head still drowning in thoughts didn't hear the knock on the door. It opened slowly revealing Henry holding the feast. This was unusual as Henry never delivered Kate's food before.

"I've heard you've lost your appetite Kate and we've been worried. Why don't you just tell us why you're doing this" Henry said putting the plate down on the table. Kate's eyes were glued to the ceiling.

"If you keep doing this you'll kill yourself"

"I want to see them" Kate said as she sat up. That's the only sentence Kate gave to the others. Henry exited the room.

"Henry" shouted a voice on the other side of the door. Kate heard this and became curious so she rushed over to the door resting an ear on it.

"How is she?" the man asked

"Look she's not eating, sleeping or talking, do we still need her?" Henry asked.

'need me for what' Kate thought, she slowly backed away from the cold metal door, the two men were still talking.

"She has to be healthy when we do the tests or she could dehydrate, we need to find a way for her to start eating again, we can't drug her either it would be too dangerous"

"I think I might know how to get her attention again"

"What is it, we need her to co-operate"

"Let her see them"

"What….. no they might get an escape plan together, do you even remember what they did to you"

"Yes but this is the only way"

"Fine but she can only see one". Henry entered the room finding Kate sitting on the chair deep in her own world.

"Kate I've got good news for you" Henry said approaching her. The words 'good news' was never expected to come out of Henry Gale's mouth so Kate was interested.

"You can see your friend" Kate was puzzled, was this a dream or was she just hallucinating.

"Are you joking because it's not working"

"No you can see Jack or Sawyer"

"What do you mean or?"

"You have to choose one or else you just missed your chances." How could Kate choose between Jack and Sawyer but she knew her protests worked, if she doesn't choose, all that hunger strike was pointless.

"So who is it?" Kate finally listened to her heart and stopped listening to her head.

Jack and Sawyer- Rivals

The frustrated men have tried to get the rage level normal but how could they, they were stuck in a room together and with no way out.

The locks on the doors were undone and Henry entered. Jack and Sawyer knew he wouldn't talk to them but this time it was different. The only times one of them came in the room was to hand over the plates of food but this time no plates to be seen.

"Jack Sawyer, your friend Kate hasn't been very well" Henry said and the two men's attention was now on Henry's words. Jack and Sawyer stood up.

"What do you mean" Jack said approaching Henry.

"She hasn't been eating and she's depressed and we're worried"

"If you were worried you should've lets us go by now" Sawyer said as he also approached Henry.

"She has been asking us she could see you and we thought that was the only way for her to start getting healthy again"

"Well let us see her" Jack shouted, he screamed his heart out. A man opened the door.

"Everything ok" The man asked. Henry quickly nodded and the metal door was closed.

"Well good for you, you can see her" Jack and Sawyer's heart started to beat faster.

"But only one of you can so she chose" Jack and Sawyer's heart now beating faster and faster. The men knew they were rivals the first day they met and they knew this would happen someday, somehow.

Henry enjoyed the impatience in the men's faces so he paused that felt like a lifetime. He knocked on he metal door and a man came in carrying a mouth gag, rope and a head bag that looked familiar. Henry pointed to Jack and the man started to tie both of his hands.

"Wha—what are you doing" Jack shook but the man already tied his hands together.

"Freckles chose you Doc" Sawyer said as he turned away and sat on the chair. Jack stopped and stood still.

"You'll never know Sawyer Kate have chosen you" Henry said looking at Sawyer.

"Tell freckles I said hi Jacko" Sawyer said kind of hurt because he knew why Kate chose Jack and not him.

Jack was pushed out of the room leaving Sawyer on his own. He was escorted through the corridor hearing the same whispers he heard the first time he was marched. Jack was made to walk faster as if they were in a rush.

A metal door opened. Jack didn't know if he was the one Kate chose as Henry hasn't told him yet.

"Get in" Jack was pushed and the ropes tying his hands together were cut. Slowly the bag was pulled out and the gag pulled off. Jack saw darkness and in that moment he thought the others had lied to him but the lights were turned on and there he saw. He saw the crying Kate sitting on her bed. Jack couldn't believe his eyes it was almost a dream. Kate suddenly looked up and Jack saw the smile he was longing to see for a long time, the relief that she finally had seen the one person she'd been looking for. Kate shot up.

"Jack" Kate whispered.

"Kate"

Every Romeo needs his Juliet, every Adam needs his Eve and thanks to you you chose the Romeo and Adam. Also I used to be a Skajate (I know) but now you lot made me see what I was missing, the adult love between Jack and Kate. I still love Skaters and respect them dearly but we just have different views and opinions now, so thanks for voting and reviewing.
