This chapter written by Lostgurl, AKA Laura
Kate dug her fingers into the sand, single grains becoming lodged into her nails. She watched the waves crash down on the beach, the white foam barely reaching her toes before shrinking back into the depths of the sea. The setting sun cast off shades of fiery red and orange that shimmered against the water. Twinkling stars were just beginning to make themselves visible. And at the same time this was happening, a single tear ran down Kate's cheek.
It was the first time in years, possibly, that Kate was crying over a guy. Not just any guy, of course. She'd known Jack had been the one from the start. Then why was she being so bitchy to him? Before she knew it, Jack would end up with Ana Lucia, and Kate would have to live on this island watching them share the love that she had always dreamed of.
Kate briefly wondered what it would have been like if Sawyer hadn't gone out on the raft. What would have happened if she had taken up his offers…as crude as they were. She should have seen this coming.
No, no, no! Kate thought. Sawyer would have been horrible. Besides, he's on the raft. You need Jack. You need Jack. He's the only guy who's seen who you are…behind the convict. He's the only guy who doesn't care about that stuff…only cares about what's best for you. The more she thought it, the more she convinced herself that she would be able to win Jack over.
That is, until Michael and Walt walked nearby and Kate (unable to stop herself) eavesdropped on what they were saying.
"I heard the doctor and some lady from the tail are staying at caves next to each other," Walt said to his dad matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, it's true. Rumor has it that Ana Lucia is that type of person." Michael replied.
"What type of person?"
Michael sighed. "Uh…never mind. Basically…I think Jack likes her."
Funny how one conversation could change someone's perspective on something for what could be an eternity.
Jack leaned back against the cold, hard wall of the dark cave. He couldn't think straight. Had Kate really meant everything she said? If so, why would she ask where Ana Lucia was staying? Had Jack been wrong about her the whole time? He really didn't want to think that.
Ana Lucia suddenly appeared at the mouth of the cave. Slowly, almost sexily, she made her way towards Jack and sat beside him. She even flipped her hair a couple times for emphasis. Even so, Jack noticed his heart didn't stop the way it did with Kate. And all it took was for Kate to even look at him.
"Why are you still up? Is something wrong?" Though the light was dim, Jack could have sworn she'd batted her eyes. What the hell is she doing? Jack wondered.
"Oh, it's…nothing." He forced himself not to look at her face.
"It's Kate, isn't it?" Ana Lucia's hand moved from her lap to Jack's fingertips. "You need to forget about her. She'll always be at the beach and we'll…we'll always be up here."
Don't listen to her, Jack thought. She's wrong. She's so, so wrong…
Jack opened his mouth but, for once, didn't have a good enough defensive comeback. Only a weak, barely audible "no" escaped from his lips. Unfortunately, one "no" wasn't good enough. Ana Lucia placed a fingertip on his lips. "Sshh…" She whispered.
Even more unfortunately, Jack found Ana Lucia's face moving closer and closer to his. And then the worst came. Her lips were on his. Jack was practically dazed from all that had happened, but it only took him a few seconds to comprehend everything and shove Ana off him.
"What…what are you…" She asked, confused.
"No," Jack said, much louder this time. He toned his voice down, not wanting to attract the other people living in the caves. "You can't just come here and start kissing me! Do you know exactly what you're doing? You're killing a relationship!" Jack shot at her in fury.
"Oh, so what you and Kate have is a relationship? Face it, Doc, she's just playing games. Why do you think she was being all bitchy when I showed up? All she wanted from the start was to fuck you."
"Oh, and you didn't!" Jack was practically screaming now.
Ana Lucia said nothing. She turned and stormed out of the cave.
Jack found himself alone for the first time. Kate hated him, Ana Lucia hated him. Slowly his eyelids grew droopy, and he fell asleep dreaming about how much he wished he could turn back time and save the precious moments of the past.
lostobsessivefreak- You don't know how much I hate her now. I'm actually kinda neutral when it comes to her in real life, but this fanfic has made me want to punch the crap outta her.You don't know how muchhate her now.

FanofLOST- Well, I don't have Charlie's shoes yet, but I am SO getting them for school, and I'll probably get a hoodie,too. And I already pre-ordered the Season 1 DVD. Or at least my mom BETTER have. It IS very comforting knowing I'm not a complete and total freak
I'm glad you thought this chapter was faboulous, and I REALLY, REALLY want to kill Ana Lucia also, but we can't :( I will though, I promise. And God, I swear if we get a friggin love SQUARE next season...And Obviously, you did not loose much sleep because the chapter got posted up the next day. I'm not leaving till friday, so we'll see how much we can get done. Yes, Jater's can not be stupid, it's like, against the law.
Oh, and if we don't get a god damn kiss, I'm SO writing to JJ. I'm just asking for a kiss, because we know it's gonna be Jate in the end anyways... teehee. if Jack OR Kate died, I would still watch, too. But I would not be happy. I'd probably say the same. But to myselfs because no one else in my family watches it.
Whirlwind-2005- Luckily. you didn't have to wait 2 weeks, quite yet ;) And Ana Lucia will be forced down a food processor as soon as they find one on the island ;)
