While Shannon was surprised to find out how much of an effect Sayid was having on her, Charlie was getting a surprise of his own..."Charlie...I think we should spend some time apart," Claire said as she was changing baby Aaron's diaper..Charlie was stunned and hurt, "But...but why? I just risked my life to save Aaron." Claire continued to change Aaron's diaper, "Well...I just think that we are getting too serious...and it's not good for Aaron...You aren't his father,Charlie.." Charlie's eyes widened.. Why was she saying this?
"Claire...I don't understand..I'm not trying to be Aaron's father..I just want to help," Charlie said in a very sad way...Claire began to grow angry and said, "Charlie, I cannot explain it...But I need you to leave me and my baby alone...I don't need any help...I have to raise this baby myself." Claire picked up Aaron and walked away..Charlie was hurt...real hurt...Why was she doing this? Whenever Charlie had been upset before, he would snort heroin...He happened to have some in his back pocket...He had taken it when him and Sayid were trying to get Aaron back...Charlie reached into his back pocket and pulled out the heroin...he wasn't sure what to do...
Charlie thought about it for a while and decided not to use...Just as he was about to throw the heroin away, he saw Claire, little Aaron, and Jack hanging out..Charlie grew angry and sad all over again...He ran into the jungle, opened up the bag, and snorted...The high was instant..It was that old familiar feeling on being back on the road with his One Hit Wonder band, Drive Shaft..."Only one time," Charle thought, "Just one time." Charlie swaggered back on to the beach when he saw Shannon washing some clothes..
If Claire was going to make Charlie jealous, than so would Charlie..he did not care that Shannon was with Sayid..Not to mention the fact that he was not thinking straight...Shannon was washing her clothes but she would surely be surprised when Charlie approached her..
