"Hollow"
Jack & Kate fan fiction
Written by
Elusive One

All made up. Characters, original plot is by the writers of "Lost."

I apologize for the confusion!!! I thought you guys would be familiar with like hopes. The beginning of the third chapter, before there were these (----------) was Kate's thoughts and to actually screw you over without italicizing it (hehe). Notice that when they did the romantic crap, Kate asked why he never checked her out. I don't know if Kate ever told Jack she was Canadian, in my fic, Jack never really knew. Right after the (--------), I mentioned Kate right away. The truth was, Jack never woke up from that hard hit on the rock. He simply landed into a coma.

Answers to questions:

smilez4eva: ah..wo...what? did jack die? did he disapear for a week? i am so confused! i am liking this but please explain!
Jack's not dead. Hehe. He landed into a coma.

LOSTinFishboy: OMG. Great chapter. Love the ending. Can't wait to read more. Just a question about it though: was Kate having a daydream or something about Jack kissing her, or did it happen? I know he hit his head and everything, but, I think I somehow confused myself! Anyways, keep up the great writing! LOST is on tomorrow, so we all have a reason to get up in the morning!
You're correct. The kiss and everything was Kate's thoughts. And in my own way to throw you guys off. So, it's like yay, everything is okay with Jack, even though he hit his head! And then no, since I typed up that (----------------) and wrote that Kate haven't seen into Jack's eyes and haven't seen Jack move meant that he never woke up from that hit on the rock.

Opheliapayne: They make out and then he ignores her? I don't get it?! Need-new-chapter! Must-find-out-why!
The third chapter, the very beginning was Kate's thoughts because some of the info were basically known as Kate's thoughts like her being Canadian and her asking why he never checked her out. Oh, you'll find more into this chapter!

mfkngst: What? it had been a week since she had last seen him move? or since she had looked into his eyes? what happened to him? please write more soon.
He hit his head on the rock, which landed him into a coma. When you're in a coma, you don't move at all.

FYI: Went back to chapter three and changed it to "it's been five days" from "it's been a week" I went back to chapter three and italicized the whole daydream.

Chapter Four: Hope Floats

It's been almost five days since Jack fell into a coma, that was caused by a boar running him over. Everything would've been fine if there was no rock there for his head to land on.

Locke and Kate began to pack bottles of water in their backpacks and began to head out to the beach.

She stopped after seeing a huge rock on the ground.

"His head was bleeding, the shirt he wore was filled with blood…" Kate remembered.

"But they found him as quick, Kate. They were able to stop the bleeding. It was a good thing that Jack left those things that helped you help him." Locke reminded her.

"That was the second time I stitched him up," Kate turned to Locke and smiled.

"And, you did a good job. Also a good thing that you got the others to help you get Jack back into the caves."

They continued to walk on and finally landed on sand. Before they went their separate ways, Locke stopped Kate. "He'll be fine. He'll eventually come back," Locke told her and walked away.

"Or you can let him be in an official peace and do what some doctors would do… euthanasia," Sawyer said from behind.

Kate took off her back pack, placed it on the ground and turned to him. She walked closer to Sawyer and looked at him. He smiled as she placed her hands on his arms. She forced a light smile and tightened her grip and grabbed his shoulders towards and her and kicked his crotch with her knees. She pushed him down, grabbed her bag and threw him a bottle of water.

Kate began to hand out water while most of them asked how Jack was.

"How's the doctor doing?" Scott asked. His twin brother, Steve, across from him wondered too.

"He's okay. He'll be okay…" Kate answered and walked away.

"Hey!" Steve yelled and stood up.

"Yeah?"

"Make sure you talk to him. Let him hear your voice… maybe that'll work. At least that is what most doctors would suggest to do. So… let him hear your voice," Steve said and returned to Scott.

--------------------

Kate watched Charlie and Claire as Charlie played to Claire, on his guitar, the song he had written for her. Kate lied beside Jack and smiled. "You hear that, Jack? It's Char… he wrote a song for Claire. I think he titled it "Stargazer." Kate talked to him.

"Did you like it?" Charlie asked Claire.

"I loved it… oh… I guess the baby liked it too," Claire smiled and took Charlie's hand and placed it on her tummy.

Kate looked at Jack. "You have to wake up. Claire's expecting her baby soon, Jack. Huge chance that she's going to need her help," Kate whispered to him.

She grabbed her cup, stood up and walked towards the waterfall. She turned back and walked towards Jack.

"Kate," Walt said.

"Hey," Kate stopped.

"You want to play Go Fish? Hurley sucks at it, I need more competition," Walt asked.

"Sure," Kate smiled and sat down.

"Dude, I don't suck… much," Hurley defended himself.

"Okay… we'll see," Walt joked.

"Do you have a… King?" Hurley asked Walt.

He looked through his five cards, "I guess, Hurley's goin' fishin'. Go. Fish." Walt smiled as Hurley grabbed the top card from the deck of cards.

--------------------

Excuse me! Did you ever use a needle?
What?
Do you ever patch a pair of jeans?
I, um... made the drapes in my apartment.
That's fantastic. Listen... do you have a second? I could use a little help here.
Help with what?
With this (his wound). Look, I'd do it myself, I'm a doctor. But, I just can't reach it.
You want me to sew that up?
It's just like the drapes, same...
No, with the drapes you can use a sewing machine.
No, you can do this. I'm telling you. If you wouldn't mind.
Of course, I will.
Thank you.

She opens up the sewing travel kit.

Any color preference?
Nah. Standard black.

Jack's eyes began to slowly open. He scanned the view above him and turned to his hand. He felt the touch of Kate's hand and the roll of thread between them.

Kate began to wake up and turned to Jack right away. "Hey," Kate whispered and smiled. "Jack? You're okay… you're okay now Jack," Kate cried and touched his face.

He grabbed a whole grip of the roll of thread and looked at it. "I remember this, it's the thing…" Jack stopped once a huge headache stuck his mind.

Kate stood up and grabbed him a cup of water.

"Thank you," Jack sat up.

"You're welcome," Kate smiled and sat down.

"Sorry, I forgot. I don't even know your name…" Jack looked at Kate, smiled and touched the wound on his head lightly.
