Jacks POV

We were now moving again, after she had gone to sleep on the ground, so I had gathered her up in my arms had started to walk off again. We were very close to the beach now, at least an hour and a half now. She coughed in her sleep. I looked at her sleeping form and was amazed at how beautiful she was, especially when she was sleeping. I knew that shouldn't be my priority right now, but I couldn't help it.

After my estimate of about two hours, we had finally reached camp and Charlie and Claire came walking towards us, because obviously, Claire couldn't run.

"How is she doing?" Claire asked, finally reaching us.

"Not too good" I stated

"Did you need any food or water?" Charlie asked

"Yes thanks" I said, "Oh, and get some medicine too" I added, Charlie nodded his head to tell me that he understood.

While Charlie and Claire went off to fetch the supplies for Kate, I walked towards the hospital-like tent and placed Kate on the blanket that was on the ground. She gave a groan and opened her eyes.

"Kate, its Jack. How are you feeling?" I asked

She didn't say anything, just layed there.

"Kate? You have to answer me. You need to drink some water, you're dehydrated, and you need to get some food into you aswell as have some painkillers" I explained

Still, she didn't reply, didn't move.

"Kate? Please" I pleaded

I put my hand on her arm, she gave me a dirty look and yanked her arm away.

"Ok, fine. But you're going to have to talk sooner or later. You can't leave your body like this, it's not good" I tried to reason with her.

I stayed silent for a while, not knowing if she was going to talk or not. When I knew she wasn't going to talk, I started to leave.

"I'll be back, Kate. When I get back, I'll give you some painkillers, even if I have to force them down your throat"

I watched her for a while, she didn't respond or have any emotion on her face, so I left her.

Sawyers POV

I saw Jackass walk out of the hospital-like tent and knew straight away that Freckles was back and seriously injured. After Jackass was out of sight, I slowly made my way from my airplane seat, to the hospital tent. I poked my head in and saw Freckles on a blanket, but awake. By the look of it, she had gotten beat up pretty bad.

"Hi ya, Freckles! Looks like you've gotten yourself into a bit of trouble there, hey?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

I expected her to tell me to piss off or something like that, but she didn't reply, yet alone acknowledge I was even there.

"Oi, Freckles!" I yelled, clapping my hands to get her attention.

"Ok, very funny, Freckles. Hahaha, nice joke. Now stop joking already and talk, damn it!" I complained

Still, she didn't say a thing.

"Fine" I muttered, "Be a bloody bitch then"

I stomped out of the tent and back to my airplane seat at the beach.

Kate's POV

I wished everyone would just leave me alone. Sawyer's being a jerk, as usual, and Jack, Jack was acting like he hadn't even hurt me at all. How could anyone, especially Jack, do that to me? And I actually thought we had formed a great friendship, even though I had wanted it to me more than that. I'm not going to take any medication, food or water. For all I care, I'll starve myself to death. Every time I saw Jack, my heart broke in two. Every time I saw him, I felt some much pain, anger, hatred and betrayal, that it was best if I don't talk to anyone. A tear escaped my eye and I choked my sorrows down.

Jacks POV

After I had left Kate in the tent, I went to Charlie and Claire to get the supplies for Kate. They gave me the stuff I needed to help her, but before I went back, I went to the beach just to clear my mind.

I still didn't get why Kate was acting that way. My guess was that she thought I was Ethan, if I was correct, then she must be really traumatized. I wondered what in hell Ethan had done to her to make her like she is now, but I knew that, deep down, I didn't really want to know.

When I had checked on her when she had fallen asleep, she had a broken arm, a sprained ankle, a bruised shoulder, cuts and bruises all over her body and a hand mark on her throat. Obviously, Ethan had tried to strangle her. I finally finished thinking and I grabbed the supplies and walked to the tent to help Kate.
