-I wanted to be so much more-
Chapter 7: Charlie's Angel
"He did it..." Jack said as his voice faded away.
"Did what?" Claire demanded. She was shaking and crying now.
"Stabbed himself," Jack said sighing.
"Why?" she whispered.
Jack ignored her and kept on working.
Sayid gave her a sympethetic look.
Claire ran out of the tent, tears streaming down her cheeks and sat down by the ocean.
"Hey," Kate said gently, not to make Claire upset again. Claire glanced at her with empty eyes.
"Here, Arron missed you," Kate said handing Claire Arron who was making whimpering sounds.
"Are you okay?" Kate asked her.
"No," Claire answered simply.
"Charlie went into shock about an hour ago..." Kate said in a more serious tone.
"Is he going to die, Kate?" Claire said with tears in her eyes.
Kate didn't want to answer this question. She thought he might. But she also knew Charlie was strong. He fought the battle of death once, and won.But humans certainly were not cats. They didn't have nine lives. "I'm sure he will pull through, Claire."
Kate walked into the medical tent where Jack was working with Charlie.
"How is he?" Kate asked not wanting to startle Jack.
"Better, but not by much. But not by much. He's lost a lot of blood. He's been repeating the same words for hours. I really don't know what he's saying," Jack explained.
"Oh..." Kate said in a whisper. She stared at Charlie for a while. Kate could bearley recognise him.
"So how's Claire doing now, she was a little shooken up before..." Jack asked.
"Well, i guess she just wants to be with Charlie," Kate explained.
"Well, I sewed him up. There's really nothing more we can do but wait. Ask Claire if she wants to see him, Kate."
Kate walked to Claire who wasn't hard to find, considering that she hadn't moved in hours.
"Do you want to see him?" She asked. Claire nodded and handed Kate Arron.
As Claire walked to the tent, Kate followed. Jack was waiting outside the tent. "Kate," he whipered, "Let them have their time alone." Kate nodded.
Claire walked into the tent.
Charlie was drifting in and out of conciousness, mumbleing.
"Charlie?" Whispered lightly. She wanting to cry. Was he going to die?
Charlie opened his eyes a tiny bit. "T-ll Cl---e," he mumbled.
"What did you say?" Claire asked smoothing his hair out of his eyes.
"Tell Claire..." He said a bit more clearly.
"Tell me what?" Claire asked him getting closer to his face.
"Tell her I ---- her." He whispered.
Claire didn't have to ask him what he said. She knew. She had heard it from Thomas many times before. But this time she knew Charlie wasn't going anywhere. He would be there for her as long as he lived, which Claire feared wouldn't be long.
Out side Jack and Kate hered everything. They listened as Claire cried at Charlie's side for the longest time. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, Kate looked up and whispered, "Claire. Charlie doesn't have many lives. But he has an angel. Claire's Charlie's angel."
