(A/N: Well, this is going to be a short chapter, but, like the other one, it's important. Anyway, here it is! Chapter 7 of Saving Kate! And, on Monday it's my birthday! Lol.)

-Saving Kate-
-Chapter 7-
-One Of Us-
Kate woke up.
"Jack?" she weakly asked, her vision blurry.
"No…" a manly voice filled the air and a hand pushed away some of her curls.
"Where is he?" Kate asked, confused on what was going on.
"He had to leave." The voice came again. Kate identified it as Ethan's.
"But… He was here. Why didn't he save me?"
Ethan shrugged. "I don't know." He lied.
"I thought… I thought he loved me."
"You thought." Ethan said, grinning evilly.
-LOST-
Jack looked around. Wiping the small tears away with the sleeve of his shirt, he knew he had to find Locke.
Looking around, he tried to figure out which way camp was. The sun set in the West, the camp was East, so he started to run away from the setting sun. He had to find Locke. Locke would know where to find the hatch.
Occasionally he would stop but the thought of Kate would always get him jogging again.
Finally stumbling upon the caves, Jack saw Charlie.
"Charlie!" he called out. "I need to find Locke and Boone!"
"Oh, you mean Ass 1 and Ass 2? They're out in the forest."
Jack was bewildered. "What's got you mad?"
"THEY LEFT ME OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST!" he bellowed.
"No we didn't." Locke appeared through the trees.
-LOST-
Kate sat sobbing against the wall. Jack hadn't saved her. He had the chance, the window of opportunity, and he hadn't taken it. Was he messing with her mind? Did he think this was some joke? Did he not love her?
-Memory/Flashback-
"You want to tell me anything before…?" Jack asked, looking at Kate.
She stared at the ground.
"Ok." He sighed and stuck the key into the Halliburton. It fell open with a thud.
Kate looked up, trying to make out anything in his expressionless eyes. He pulled out a couple guns, a box of ammo, and a wad of 20's. Suddenly his hand brushed against the yellow fated envelope. He picked it up and the sun shone on it. 'Personal Effects' it read. Opening it, a smaller blue envelope fell out.
"Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, handing the envelope to her.
Her flawless hands closed around it, taking the envelope out of Jack's grip. She opened it and a small model plane fell onto her palm.
"A toy plane?" Jack asked, confused.
"It's nothing." Kate responded quietly.
"It's obviously something. You went through hell to get it."
"I said it's nothing."
"Tell me the truth, Kate." He demanded. "Just this once."
"It belonged to the man I loved." She said.
"The truth!"
"It belonged to the man I loved!" she said louder, hoping he would just leave the subject alone. He didn't.
"STOP LYING!" he grabbed onto her wrists.
"It belonged to the man I killed." He voice gaining a new pitch at the last word.
Jack let go, stunned and angered. Kate fell to the ground, curled up into a ball, sobbing. He stared at her, not sure whether to comfort her or demand more. Suddenly he started to stash the things back into the briefcase, all but the little silver plane that Kate held in her hands as she cried. Closing the Halliburton, he took the case and the key, and walked away.
-End Memory/Flashback-
Kate felt the same way she had that day. But this time, Jack wasn't coming back.
-LOST-
"Locke?" Jack asked. "We have to go now!"
"Jack, calm down. Explain why we must go." Locke replied, his grandfatherly tone carried across the camp.
"I found a hatch in Kate's cell. We have to go break it open. It's the only way how we can save Kate!"
-LOST-
One of us is cryingOne of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
-LOST-
(A/N: So? How'd you like it? Charlie didn't cuss out Locke, Jack went back to the caves, and Kate brought up a memory. Woo, fun stuff!)
Reviews to the reviews that my reviewers left:
Frodosam4ever: Yea, Ethan is a dumb ass. Lol. I'll update soon!
Rain1657: S'mores are good too. Thanks! Well, Jack's gone now, so he'll have to find another way to get to Kate. Ethan is lying to Kate… will she believe him? Can't tell you what I have planned; it'd ruin the story! I'm writing the Ethan ass-kicking chapter tonight in my notebook, so it should be on Monday's update!
Evermore: Thanks! Yea. Whenever my dad is around I have to refrain from talking about LOST, or he'll just say the show is a load of crap, and the whole scenario isn't possible, and then I'll get mad and yell at him, claiming it's so much better then 'The Thirsty Traveler', and then he'll get mad, and then we'll get in this huge yelling fit. Lol. The whole fight is pretty funny actually.
CharliesHoodie: Hey Hannah! I'll add some more Charlie scenes in just to make you happy! Lol. There is a big chapter with a lot of Charlie in it… ((CoughsMondaycough))
Freckles-101: Television too! I would have gone crazy and locked my parents in a closet until they let me watch on normal days. Lol. The EVIL Ethan is going to find his ass kicked soon. You'll have to see if Jack ever manages to save her or not.
(A/N: Next Chapter: Will Locke go into the forest with Jack? Will Kate believe Ethan? Will Kate EVER get saved? Will Mimi get what she wants for her birthday? Find out in the upcoming chapters of 'Saving Kate'!)
