Jack

We caught them just as Sawyer collapsed to the floor. He had carried Kate for ages...He was exhausted. I didn't understand why he had carried her. He didn't care about anyone but himself. But then again, they had a "connection"

He dabbed some peroxide onto Sawyer's head where there was a nasty gash. He had lots of bruises and scrapes all over him and it looked as if he had been beaten.

Sawyer groaned and looked up. "Doc...Where the hell am I?"

Jack looked down on him and frowned. "You're awake at last...You've been out for a few days now. You're on the beach. Medical hut"

"ahhhh" said Sawyer. "Last thingI remember is carrying Freckles through the jungle and- Wait! Kate, where is she? She ok? hurt?"

Jack looked at him, clearly surprised at his worry for Kate. "Shes...Shes asleep. We had to give her sleeping medication."

Sawyer looked up wincing as Jack pressed the wet towel against his head. "What? Why?"

Jack looked downcast. He sighed and said" Whenever she woke up she kept yelling for...you. She seemed to think you were being tortured or captured...or something. She kept saying how Andy should let you go. So we gave her sleeping medication untill you woke up so she could see that you were not harmed"

Why she asked for him I don't know...Something happened inthe jungle. Something to do with "Andy" and something I want to find out..

"Sawyer?" asked Jack as he put the peroxide back into the dusty suitcase in the corner. Sawyer looked up. "Why did you carry Kate all the way here?"

Sawyer looked up at him" A lot of things happened in that Jungle. We got closer... and she saved my life"

He looked up at Jack to see his reaction.

Jack looked away, and pulled across the semi-curtain that was separating Sawyer and Kate. He had made it out of a blanket that Sun had given him.

"You're jealous" declared Sawyer half gleefully.

"No I'm not" said Jack through gritted teeth.


SAWYER

Its so obvious he's jealous. He hates the fact that anyone besides himself would be close to Kate..

He stumbled up. Kate was going to wake up in roughly 10 minutes Jack had said. He had gone off to check up on Walt who had slipped and fell grazing his leg. He would come back just before she woke up he had said.

Sawyer cautiously sat down on the bed where Kate lay. He looked down happily at her, her skin was pale apart from her rosy cheeks. Her freckles seemed to stand out more than ever and Sawyer smiled to himself. She looked happy and peaceful which wasn't normal because whenever he say her asleep she had nightmares. Apart from the time when they had fell asleep together.

He played with a curl.She looked so beautiful. He couldn't believe what Jack had said.

He had told him that Kate needed to be restrained by Sun and himself because she couldn't see very well and wanted him so desperately.

What am I gonna do when she wakes up? What am I gonna say? We finally are...friends even though I wish it was more.

Jack came back in panting and sweaty. He threw his rucksack down on the floor and moved next to Kate's sleeping figure. He looked at Sawyer who still had his hands running through Kate's hair, playing with her curls. Sawyer let go and moved away. They looked at each other awkwardly for a moment and Sawyer swore her felt himslef blush a little. Since when do I blush?

"Has she said anything yet?" asked Jack.

"No" said Sawyer.

"It won't be long now." said Jack. There was an awkward silence.


Kate murmured to herslef and stirred. Both men rushed to her side, and her eyes fluttered open. She was breathing quickly and it was if she couldn't see in front of her. Jack sat in front of her and said

"Kate, are you okay?" She looked fearfully at Jack and asked:

"What have you done with Sawyer where is HE!" Sawyer looked confused at Jack and Jack whispered to him in a undertone.

"It's from the medication. Sun warned me she might have hallucinations" (AN: I know this wouldn't normally happen, but go with the flow ;)

Sawyer nodded and looked at Kate. She pushed Jack away (to sawyer's glee and fear) and yelled: "Where is he?"" She fell to the floor sobbing.

Jack ran up to Kate and grabbed her by the shoulders,

"Kate It's Jack, It's all a hallucination! Okay?" she blinked the tears from her eyes and looked at Jack with a look of pure hatred.

"Get away from me!" she whispered and crawled into the corner fearfully.

Then Sawyer came out of the shadows.

"Kate..." he whispered as he walked towards her. "Freckles, It's me. I'm fine. it's all a hallucination. Honest." She looked up at him confused and he kneeled in front of her.

"What? But- but Andy took you he said-"

"Hush" said Sawyer "It's me, I'm here"

He took Kate into his arms and softly sang her their comfort song.

Oh a thousand words,
One thousand embraces,
Will cradle you,
Making all of your weary days seem far away.
They'll hold you forever.

He whispered it into her ear softly. Rocking backwards and forwards slowly. He held her tight as she inhaled his scent and gripped his shirt.

Jack looked on from the corner of the room...
