Jumping To Conclushions

Sayid had waited until the rain stopped to out looking for Shannon. At first he thought she was just out blowing off steam with the girls, but none of them had seen her. She wasn't at the beach and she wasn't at the caves. Now it was starting to get dark. He was worried, so he decided to go out and find her. at least make sure she was ok.

He walked around the jungle for about ten minutes without any luck. After a while, he came across a little creek surrounded by rocks, and a waterfall at the other end. At first glance he thought he was alone. But then after a moment he noticed something moving behind one of the rocks where the water fall fell. He couldn't see much at first, but moving closer, he managed to make out the top of a blonde head of hair.

"Shannon?" He questioned curiously, taking another step forward. Claire gasped, startled, and turned around. "Oh, sorry!" Sayid explained apologetically. He couldn't see anything from her shoulders down, but he still felt bad. Claire covered her face in embarrassment. "Sorry" He muttered again, feeling very foolish.

"No, its ok" She assured, trying not to blush. Her heart was still pounding. "Here, I'll let you get dressed" He assured, turning his back to her so to show he wasn't looking. Claire nodded and turned around, looking for her cloths. She had left them on a rock near by, but they were now gone. Confused, she turned in a circle, wondering where they could be.

There was no sign of them any where. The little rain shower that they had a while ago must have washed them off the rock and into the creek. By now they could be a mile away.

"Oh god" Claire muttered, a worried look across her face. "What's wrong?" Sayid questioned, avoiding the urge to turn around. "My cloths are gone" She explained, franticly, panicking a little. "What?" Sayid questioned in confusion, this time turning around without though. "My cloths, I can't find them. Oh god" She muttered stressfully. This was the last thing she needed.

"Ok, calm down" Sayid tried to calm her, searching for some way to help. "Umm...I could run back to the cave and grab you something to wear" He offered, saying the first idea that popped into his head. "And leave me here alone?" She questioned, distressfully. "Ok, right" he nodded, understanding.

Claire covered her face with her hands once again. "Uhh...here" He offered, pulling off the button up shirt he'd been wearing. He laid on the rock she'd been standing behind, careful not to look down ward as he handed it to her. after that he turned his back once again to prove he wasn't looking.

Luckily for her, the shirt was long enough so that it covered everything that needed to be covered. "Did it work?" He questioned, curiously, after a moment. "Yeah" She replied, hugging herself as she stepped out from behind the rock. "Thanks" She added appreciatively, feeling a little awkward.

"Your welcome" he assured, a little uncomfortable as well. Claire sat down on one of the rocks and let out a sigh. "So, what are you doing out here alone?" He questioned in concern. "Well, I was taking a shower" She explained with an embarrassed smile. "Oh...right" He nodded, remembering.

"How about you?" She questioned curiously. "I'm looking for Shannon" He explained, walking over and taking a seat on a rock not far from hers. "Her and I got into a fight" He added, a hint of regret in his voice. "What about?" Claire asked curiously. "Her walking in on Charlie" He answered simply. "Oh" Claire nodded, understanding.

"Its my fault really. I over reacted" He added, regretfully, looking down at the ground. "Yeah...so did I" Claire noted simply. Sayid shoot her a confused look. "Me and Charlie got into an argument too" She explained, sounding a little regretful herself. "Oh" He nodded in reply, understanding. For a while the two were silent.

"I think it might be a good idea to go look for my cloths" Claire noted, an embarrassed smile on her face. "Yeah, that might be a good idea" He nodded in agreement. Claire hopped up off the rock and began walking. Sayid followed to make sure nothing happened. After all, being alone in the jungle was dangerous enough even with cloths. But with Claire, god knows what could happen.

Later...

"So, the rain stopped. Alcohol's gone. What now?" Shannon questioned as her and Charlie sat in a secluded little place in the jungle where the roof of trees overhead was so thick it kept out the majority of the rain. "I don't know" Charlie shrugged in reply. Shannon sighed out loud. " I need another drink" She noted tiredly, starring up at the dark stretch of leaves above them that blocked out the sky.

"So go get one" He suggested simply. "How?" Shannon questioned, giving him a confused look as she sat back up. "Do what I did. Steal them from Sawyer" Charlie explained. "Where dose he keep them?" She questioned, taking him more seriously then he had meant. "In a little lunch box looking think under his chair" Charlie explained. Shannon nodded, and began to walk off.

"Bring me one, too!" He called after her. "OK!" Shannon called back in reply, then disappeared into the jungle.

On the beach...

Kate still trembled in Sawyer's arms. How she could have possibly forgotten what happened earlier was a mystery. She laid her head back against the pillow, starring up at the ceiling as he kissed her neck, trying to catch her breath. He was different then she'd imagined. From his attitude she'd expected him to be rougher, more demanding.

She rolled her head over to one side to face him, and he looked at her with a smirk. Usually when he gave her that look she wanted smack him, but right now, it didn't seem nearly as infuriating. He wasn't being cocky or smug, he was being playfully. He just had a different way of showing it. Kate smiled back and bent her head to kiss him, and man did he know how to kiss.

After a moment their lips broke, and she leaned her head against his chest, listening to his pounding heart beat as he pulled his arms around her. It was strange to think that not to long ago she had felt lonely and miserable laying in that bed alone. And now, she was in heaven. All because of him. Kate let out a little sigh and closed her eyes again with that thought in mind, slowly falling asleep to the sound of his heart beat, and amused smile on her face. So, he has a heart after all...

Later, in the jungle...

Sayid and Claire walked along the creek side by side in silence for a while. All the while, Claire couldn't stop thinking about Charlie. She missed him. She'd been away from him for only a day but all ready it felt like years. She couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't come back, or why he wasn't out looking for her. He didn't care, she concluded as she walked, hugging herself to keep warm. He didn't want anything to do with her.

"Claire?" Sayid questioned, looking at her in concern. She'd fallen behind a little, walking slower, to warped up in her thoughts to concentrate. She looked up at the sound of her name, snapping out of her thoughts. She hadn't realized she'd been crying. "What's wrong?" He questioned, stopping and turning to her in concern.

"Oh, its nothing" She assured, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, feeling very embarrassed. Sayid looked at her skeptically. "I Just, I can't stop thinknig about him...about Charlie... I miss him" She explained, hearing her voice crack a little as she struggled to keep from crying.

It was no use. Another wave of tears came down. Sayid took a step forward, wishing there was something he could say to help her, but at the moment he couldn't think of anything, so he hugged her instead.

Claire and Sayid made it back to the caves, and Claire found some cloths that no one had been using to put on. She took a seat on one of the rocks, a little out of the way from the rest of the group, and once again, ran through her thoughts. She pulled her knees up to her chest and crossed her arms over the, resting her chin on her arms as she stare out into no where.

Jack sat down beside her without saying a word. It took her a while to notice him. "Hey" he said softly, turning to face her. "Hey" Claire replied, making an attempt to smile. Jack smiled back. After that, neither one of them said a word. They simply sat together in silence, starring off into space, wondering what would happen next.
