Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I don't own LOST.
A/N: These last two chapters are kind of fluffy. Thanks for the reviews. And LOST is coming back!! All is right with the world again! lol!
A couple days later Kate sat on the beach. She was doing a lot better and things had gone back to normal. Everyone had learned that Juliet had gone back, and it had made Kate feel a lot better that she was gone. Jack had stayed away from Kate other than checking on her a couple of times. Kate wanted to talk to him, but was afraid of what he would say. She really did love him, but he didn't seem to want to talk to her.
"So what's going on?"
Kate looked up and saw that Hurley was standing there.
"Hey Hurley. Want to sit down?" Kate smiled at him.
"Sure. How are you?"
"I'm doing good. I'm feeling a lot better. How are you?"
"I'm doing good too. Listen, I was thinking, now that Juliet is gone, you have your chance."
"My chance?"
"I think you didn't ever talk to Jack because you thought that he loved Juliet, but now that you know the truth, you should talk to him."
"Jack and I talk."
Hurley gave her a look.
"Okay fine. Things are a little different now Hurley. I'm with Sawyer. Things happened over with the Others."
"They can't be that different. I mean, nothing could ever separate you two when we first crashed here. And then things happened and you weren't speaking, then you went on that trek and you were fine again, and then you three got kidnapped, and you weren't fine again. You two need to stop doing that."
"Jack and I haven't been fine in a long time. I'm sorry Hurley but that's the way it is."
"I don't think so." Hurley stood up and walked away.
"Hurley? What are you doing?" Kate watched him go up the beach and realized that he was going into Jack's tent. Charlie emerged and shook his head at Hurley. Hurley went into Jack's tent and she realized that Charlie was coming for her.
Kate laughed and shook her head as she looked back at the ocean.
"Hey Kate."
"I know why you're here Charlie."
"Then why don't we stop the chit chatting and get straight to the point."
"And what's the point?"
"You and Jack need to talk so that you can get together."
"Why are you so bent on Jack and I getting together?"
"Because it's fate. Claire believes it. Ask her."
"Fate?"
"You two have to be together." Charlie nodded.
Kate felt Charlie's arms snaking around her as he pulled her up.
"What are you doing?"
"Come on." Charlie tried to pick up Kate, but then they both fell in the sand and they both burst out laughing.
Charlie stood up again and Kate stood up as well. "Okay I'm up. Don't try to pick me up again."
Charlie took Kate's arm and dragged her along with him.
Kate started to protest." Charlie this is stupid. Jack doesn't care about me."
"Oh yes he does."
Then Kate looked at Jack's tent and couldn't believe what she saw.
Hurley was attempting to pick up Jack, but he was failing miserably.
"You're going to her no matter how much you fight back!" Hurley declared as he picked Jack up with all his might and placed him over his shoulder.
"You got Kate?" Hurley asked Charlie as they came closer together.
"What does it look like?"
Hurley nodded with a serious expression. "Okay."
"Put me down." Jack's voice was muffled.
Kate couldn't help but laugh as Hurley tried to set Jack down gently but ended up dropping him.
"Are you okay?" Kate asked.
Jack nodded. "Yeah. Sure. Just as long as he doesn't ever do that again."
"Well if you two would talk we promise we won't ever do that again." Charlie said.
They all became silent as Jack stood up.
"Come with us." Hurley said.
Jack looked at Kate. "Do you know what they're doing?'
"No." Kate shook her head.
Hurley and Charlie leaded them to Jack's tent and made them go inside. Charlie told them that they weren't allowed to come out until things were settled. They walked into the tent and stared at each other, not sure of what to say.
A/N: The next chapter is the last chapter. :)
