(A/N: HEY YOU GUYS! I am so, so, so, so sorry about this. I completely forgot to tell you guys that last week was Spring Break and I couldn't update. But did anyone see Episode 19 – Deus Ex Machina- Locke's Episode? That one was a mindblower. First off, Locke's car rocked, secondly he had HAIR, and thirdly, the transmission that Boone heard in the small plane is as followed "NO, we're the survivors of Flight 815!". If you doubt me, go to and click on the media player thing. Go to the LOST channel, and click on Episode 19 recap. It goes way slower, and so you can hear it way better. And the whole STD thing with Sawyer and Jack was so priceless. I was rolling on the floor, laughing so hard. "When was your last outbreak?" LOL! Ok, lets stop me rambling and get down to chapter 19. This thing will also be a mindblower, but it'll be short. But it's almost worth reading every word. So get your popcorn –or poptarts-, get your cokes – or coffee-, and settle in, and enjoy the chapter.)

-Saving Kate-
Chapter 19-
One-
Jack let out a sigh of relief as Kate finally settled in for the night. This was one day he was sure not to forget. He drew the covers over Kate, and smiled down at her.
She gave him a feeble smile back, but her eyes were solemn. "Jack…" she started.
He stared down at her once again. "Hmmm?"
"Have you ever been married?"
Jack sighed. "No."
"Have you ever been love?"
"I dunno. If I had been, she wasn't meant for me. 'Cause I'm not married, now am I?" He smiled smally. "How about you? Have you ever been love?"
"Yea…" Kate said. Her heart was pounding, sending aching throbs through her head. But she needed to know something. "Twice."
Jack's eyebrows raised. "Who? If you don't mind me asking…"
"Well, me ex-husband for a while. But you can see where that got me."
Jack chuckled. "And…?"
"You." That's all it took. Just one simple word out of the whole English vocabulary.
Jack couldn't help but smile. "I think it's time for a certain someone to turn in for the night."
Kate sighed and shifted under the covers. "Night, Jack."
"G'Night Kate." Jack slipped under his own covers. The days was done, the damage was cured somewhat, and Kate was getting better. Finally.

"Jack?" The voice came again.
Jack moaned. "What?"
Kate whispered something almost inaudible. "Why…? Why did you leave me?"
Jack groaned. "Can this wait till morning?"
Kate sighed. "Fine." But she couldn't sleep. Jack's usual deep breathing was also absent from the cave air.
Kate sat up. The question was burning a hole in her heart. She had to know why. Right now, right here.
"I've got to know now, Jack." She said, her voice trembling.
"Kate, please. I'm half asleep so my answer won't be any good. And I don't want to regret anything I say."
"No, the question, Jack, the question is killing me. I need to know." Kate pushed on.
"You've waited this long, Kate. Just wait a couple more hours." Jack pleaded. He really didn't know why he left. Well, he did, it was to save her, but she wouldn't get it. She wouldn't know how it felt.
"O-Ok." Kate said. She didn't really want to wait, but it was what Jack wanted. She lay back down, her head hitting the pillow…
…never knowing that it would possibly be the last time she ever spoke.

And we can break throughThough torn in two
We can be one

I will be with you again

(A/N: OMG! A CLIFFIE! WOOT! And this time, it's actually good on my part. BUT, it's the like the shortest chapter EVER. Crap, ok, for some reason my radio just quit on me… not good. Now my Yahoo Messenger just restarted. Damn computer. Lol. There we go! ((pats computer)) Anyway, back to the A/N. Ok, so we all know that Kate has either passed out, suffered a heart attack or something in her body failed on her, or she died. Or she went mute, but that's too easy for this. I mean, I've put them through so much shit, why not push them a bit deeper? Lol. BUT, I am seriously sorry for not warning you guys about my Spring Break. I usually just IM my friends and have fun. Then I write at night. So, I got a couple chapters done. ((sniffs)) Only 5 more to go after this one. Actually if everything works out, I may cut down to 3, but it depends on what happens. By the way, I am sorry about the short chapter, and I plan to either update tomorrow or Tuesday. You guys are probably like ((grumble)) that what she always says!" But this time, I seriously am. Girl scout honor and such. Guess what I found out! Next episode, which is next week, which is entitled 'Do No Harm', which is Jack's episode (YAY!), Jack was engaged in a flashback! ((gasp)) I hope to God that something bad happened, and he didn't get married, because I couldn't stand that. It would mean probably Jack won't end up with Kate, and that would just break my heart in two. Lol. SO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED, AND HOPE TO GOD HE DIDN'T GET MARRIED!)
THE REVIEWS TO THE REVIEWS THAT MY REVIEWERS LEFT ME!
(FINALLY! Lol)
OctoberSky- Thanks for the review, and by the way, I love poptarts! They're like the best food ever. Lol. I idolize the woman/man who invented them. Well, I guess you'll have to buy some more, cause I still got at least 3 more chapters to go! Yea, I think the kiss was so kick-ass, and Charlie's bad timing was just to add a bit of comedy to the situation. I mean, I really suck at writing love scenes and stuff, so they're usually sorta comical (at least to me, lol).
MissKrux- Ya, I read the first 4 chapters of your 'Never To Know' story. I can tell you, you are going to be a great writer someday, because the stuff you post is way awesome. I'm so glad Sawyer got what he deserved (finally!). And the whole Charlie walking in thing was just something I'd imagine would happen in the actual show (and, let's face it, I suck at writing love scenes), so I added it in for a bit of comic relief.
Gowland- Yea, Kate was a complete jackass in Chapter 15. Stupid, stupid Kate got drunk! Lol. But in Chapter 17, she's all better, sorta. Lol. Jack's not mad, thank God, but he's hurt that she didn't tell him. It'll show up in later chapter(s). Ok, I hate Skate (Sawyer/Kate) stuff (lol, as if you didn't know), so to me, it was like me smashing a tomato. Only Sawyer's the tomato, and Jack's me. Lol, I'm not sure if you didn't get that or not. Ya, I loved Jack's hiccup cure too, and it seemed just right for a cure. And Lord knows, it surprised the hell out of Kate. But only for a minute or so. Yea, poor Charlie. Dammit Charlie! You just had to ruin it, didn't you!Charlie: I DIDN'T MEAN TO!
Sure you didn't…
Freckles-101- Ya, unfortunately, Kate wasn't drunk all that long, but I had to make her un-drunk for what's going to happen next. And no more secrets will be spilled, unless I change my mind, which I might. Lol. Sorry to burst your daydream…
Kate: Yea, she tends to do that…
Shut up, Kate.
Kate: NO, YOU SHUT UP!
…Bring it on!
Me and Kate: ((catfight))
CharlieAndClaireForLife- Yea, I dunno if I will or not. This tends just to be a Jack/Kate fic. I can try to add one in, but it won't really flow with the story. Sorry…
Charlie: Wait, you mean I won't be in the fic any more!
No, no! You might play a major part soon! Just no more fluff-ish stuff with you and Claire.
Charlie: Dammit!
Rain1657- WOO! I'm glad you liked it so much! Well, I left you guys at a cliffie, and I warned a certain reviewer about this a couple chapters back. Yea, Locke's just a coward in this fic, and he's going to screw up even more in the next chapter. Lol. Like such a big screw-up that two very important lives might get killed off if he doesn't fix it. DAMN YOU, LOCKE!
Locke: ((cries)) I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, it just slipped out!
Awww…. ((pats Locke's back)) You didn't screw up so bad, just you didn't make a good decision…
Leonard: RETARD!
Locke: ((cries harder))
(Random A/N: God, it's taken me a half hour just reviews all those reviews. Better get my ass in gear if I want to finish up tonight.)
(a/n2: I couldn't finish them last night because my mom forced me to baby-sit my cousin, and then I ended up sleeping over.)
Whirlwind2005- Woo! I know!
Jack: I SO knew I could kick his ass!
Sawyer: LIAR!
Jack: Oh, you wanna fight again!
Sawyer: BRING IT ON!
Jack and Sawyer: ((catfight))
Yea, Locke's been a real dumbass in this story, and he's not going to get any better. In fact, he's going to get worse.
Locke: Nun-uh!
How do you know?
Locke: The island gave me a clue!
PinkPinker- Lol, yea. I decided that was just perfect.
Jack: And it was out first kiss too!
Kate: Yea! Woo! Go us!
Jack and Kate: ((do happy dance))
Guys, calm down!
Jack and Kate: ((won't stop dancing))
((sighs)) Oh well, at least they're having fun…
Lillywriter- Aw, thank you. Everyone liked the kiss. I'm so glad! I feel loved! Lol.
OrlandoCrazy- Woo! I finally did update, and I plan to update tomorrow or Tuesday!
(A/N3: ((looks around)) Is that it? I think it is! Woo!)
(A/N: Well, well, I guess it was just a filler chapter. I'm really sorry for not updating sooner, but I like to think as Spring Break as really being a break from everything. Hope you guys liked the chapter, and I really hope to actually get back on track with updating. By the way, I am really sorry about the the Reviews, because I screwed them up, and the spacing is messed up, but I'll try to make the next ones better!)
NOTE: 'Searching' Chapter 5 is almost done, because I just got over my writers block. I had a great idea, and am going to run with it. Hope you guys like, and it should be up by the next weekend!
