Disclaimer: I don't own LOST. The title is from Nerdee's song "Cup of coffee", which I don't own either. (I know, it's a bit too long title, but it fits the drabble so perfectly. ~)
Preview: Of course she should've guessed "Happily ever after" wasn't real. Especially not for her.
My Heart Is Torn But Still It Beats For You
After the rescue Kate returns to her old apartment. It hurts. (You deserve it.)
The silence is unbearable. She can almost hear Aaron's laughter and Jack's footsteps still echoing in the empty rooms. She plays her own little game: If she runs fast enough, she'll find them sitting in the kitchen, in the living room, somewhere.
She's surrounded by memories of what might have been hers. It's too much to see all her mistakes and regrets, but she takes it. (She's always been a masochist.)
Of course she should have guessed "Happily ever after" wasn't real. Especially not for her.
It was just a life she was borrowing.
