Take away the sensation inside
Bittersweet migraine in my head
Charlie had been waiting for this moment all morning. The lunch of fresh boar meat, straight from the fire, and the just-picked passion fruit was finally ready for when he returned with Claire. He prayed to God that she would say yes. Claire was the only girl he had ever really cared about and loved.
"Maybe this can work," Charlie thought. "Claire loves me, right? Maybe we can even raise her child together. Maybe I can start clean."
Charlie smiled and ran off to find his beloved.
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
He had been waiting for this moment all morning. He could finally get his revenge and have Claire all to himself. How could she fall for that- that thing? He grabbed his knife and stuck it in his back pocket.
"And the best part is," he thought, "no one will know it was me. Not Claire, or Jack, or Locke. And I'll bet not one of the mechanical treasures that Sawyer hoards will be able to prove it."
He smirked and ran off to find them.
Drain the pressure from the swelling
This sensation's overwhelming
"That would be absolutely adorable if you put those two colors together."
Claire was sitting with Shannon, whom she had newly befriended, looking at old clothes that they could cut up and make onezies for the baby when it comes. Shannon, obviously, had an excellent sense of fashion.
Claire looked at the dark blue satin shirt and the gold sequin tank top.
"I don't know. Are you suggesting that my baby should be a flash dancer?"
The girls giggled. "All right," laughed Shannon as Claire took out a golden yellow cotton t-shirt and a deep red corduroy pair of pants.
Shannon gasped. "Ohmigod! It's so perfect! You can use the pants for most of it and then put little gold designs on it! And the colors are perfect for both genders!"
"Okay, Shannon," Claire laughed at her friend's tumultuous behavior.
"Oh, look Claire, your boyfriend's here," Shannon said romantically.
Give me a long kiss goodnight
And everything will be alright
Charlie came and sat down in the sand with the two.
"Hello, luv," he said giving Claire a kiss. "Hi, Shannon."
"Hello," Shannon replied, still having a bit of a giggle fit.
"So, what were you two ladies doing?"
"We were picking out old clothes to make into new ones when the baby comes." Claire said.
"Excellent," Charlie grinned. "Can you come with me for a minute? I have something to show you."
"Of course, Charlie," she replied. "Is that ok with you, Shannon?"
"It's fine, you two go have fun." Shannon replied, knowing the whole story.Charlie wrapped his arm around Claire's waist and the two disappeared into the trees.
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
Give me novacaine
"Oh my God, Charlie! It's so beautiful!" Claire exclaimed as they entered the clearing. She sat down in awe in front of the feast.
"Least I could do, luv. You're so amazing."
"I love you, Charlie."
"I love you too, Claire."
They silently kissed over the passion fruit.
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
He watched them as they kissed. It was difficult to not jump out of the bushes and butcher Charlie's body right then and there. But he had to be patient. He had to wait until she was gone. They talked and ate for a minute, and she finally rose to leave for a moment. Now was his chance. With eyes like ice, he stepped out from his hiding place.
I get the funny feeling and that's alright
Jimmy says it's better than here
After their long kiss, Charlie and Claire enjoyed the perfectly roasted cuisine together. They ate in silence for a while before Charlie spoke up.
"Claire?"
"Yes, Charlie?"
"I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Will you-"
"Wait. I'm sorry Charlie. Can you please excuse me for a moment? I really have to pee."
Charlie's anticipation grew as he let Claire go. He needed to get this over with. I mean, it was bloody marriage! Not a date or anything. He might get married when he gets off this bloody island! Wow. Married. With the same girl forever. But it was Claire, and she wasn't just a girl. She was an angel. Among the darkness, she was the light. She was perfect. She was-
Charlie's thoughts were interrupted as a familiar face walked out from the bushes.

This sensation's overwhelming
Charlie smiled as his acquaintance emerged from the trees.
"Hey, man! How's it-"
Charlie stopped and looked down at the knife sticking out of his abdomen. He stared at the perpetrator in shock and fell to the ground. The man looked him straight in the eye and growled, "That's for Claire. She's mine now, and I'm going to treat her better than you ever will be able to."
"You bastard," Charlie seethed.
"Sticks and stones, Charlie."He grabbed a rock and threw it at Charlie's head, knocking him out.
Boone walked back to the caves through the slowly forming pool of blood with a cold heart and a smile on his face.
Give me a long kiss goodnight
And everything will be alright
Claire neared the clearing and began, "Sorry it took so long, Charlie. What were you going to-"
Claire took one look at Charlie's body and screamed.
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
Give me novacaine
