Charlie awoke with a sudden jolt. He found himself lying in his hotel bed. He groaned when h felt his massive headache. The room was incredibly dark. He looked over at the clock that read in bold red letters 1:47 PM.

"1:47 how long have a been asleep," he said aloud.

"Long," a voice replied from the corner.

The shades flew up allowing the golden sunlight to blast though the room. Charlie was blinded and could barely open his eyes to see the silhouetted figure.

"Jack," he said.

"Can you please explain to me what the hell you were doing last night," Jack shouted.

"I was drunk and due for a massive hangover," Charlie groaned.

"Well, you better screw your head on if your going to raise Jacob," Jack argued.

"O blah blah blah," Charlie yawned.

"I'm serious Charlie. Kate and I are going to but an apartment in Sydney and your welcome to stay," Jack said.

"I can look out for myself," Charlie growled.

"Judging by last night I don't think you can," Jack shot back at him.

Charlie just scowled and allowed himself to fall back onto the bed. "I'm not staying in Sydney," Charlie said looking at the ceiling. He didn't really mean. He was going to stay in Sydney...what life did he have back in Manchester. He was only feeling sorry for himself.

"Look Charlie, I know I can't make you stay in Sydney. You probably want to go back home to England but, before you go, just please meet up with Claire's family. Your the one who knew her best and you are the guardian of Claire's son," Jack explained.

"He's also my son," Charlie said angrily.

"I hate to say this Charlie, but were back in the real world. Their going to want guardianship if Jacob," Jack said getting up to leave the room.

Charlie sighed.

"By the way Jacob is with Rose. Guess you were to miserable with your own life to notice," Jack said as he slammed the door be hind him.

Charlie angrily ripped himself out of the bed. He quickly got dressed and left his hotel room. He rapidly paced down the hall towards the staircase. He could see Kate walking towards him.

"Hey Charlie, how are you fee...," she was cut off by Charlie just blowing right past her, almost as if she was never there.

She looked shocked as she turned around and watch Charlie half walk and half run down the stairs. She sighed and continued on her way to her room. She opened the door to find Jack hurriedly packing their things.

"Your in a rush." Kate smiled.

"Yeah well I figured the sooner we get out of here the better," Jack sighed, rubbing his face.

"But we don't even have a place to live so how are we going to leave," Kate asked.

"Yeah well better late then never to pack," Jack replied.

Kate closed the door quietly behind her and turned back to Jack.

"What's wrong with Charlie," Kate asked.

"Same thing that has been wrong with him for the past couple days," Jack retorted.

"It's just weird," Kate whispered deep in thought.

"What," Jack said raising an eyebrow?

"Didn't he mention he has a brother who lives in Sydney? Why didn't his brother come and greet him when we got off the ship," Kate explained?

"Maybe he was busy or didn't know we were getting back. I don't know Kate why are you so wrapped up in Charlie's life anyway," Jack said returning to packing?

"That's being hypocritical," Kate said rolling her eyes.

Jack sighed. "We'll just have to see how it plays in the long run."

Charlie banged on Rose's hotel door. The door slowly opened and a smile spread across Rose's face.

"I assume your here for Jacob," She said motioning for Jacob to come to her.

Charlie nodded. "Thanks for watching him Rose," he said irritated as he stormed off holding Jacob's hand.

Charlie reached his room and flung the door open and slammed it behind him. He sat down in the chair and sighed. "What's happening to me," he thought.

Jacob sat on the floor and played with a teddy bear Rose had bought him. The phone suddenly rang and Charlie answered it.

"Hello."

"Hi, is this Mr. Charlie Pace."

"Yes."

"This is Thomas Hesnan, I think we need to talk."
