Chapter 3:
"Kate!" Jack exclaimed as he ran over to where Kate lay. He put his fingers on her neck, checking for her pulse. Nothing, but she was still relatively warm. There was still a chance. He wouldn't let her die, he couldn't.
Sawyer came up beside Jack, his head in his hands, his voice overcome with sorrow.
" is she, dead?" he gulped, trying his best not to break down right there and then. It wasn't like him to get so attached to a person, especially a woman, but Kate was different, she wasn't like other woman, she was, Kate.
"There is still a chance of resuscitation" jack said, with a quiver in his voice, he was overcome with fear, but he had to save kate, so he counted. 1…2…3…4…5
and with that, his fear was gone, and the docter in him took over.
"Sawyer!" he called, "I need you to run back to the packs, and get me the water bottles!" Sawyer stood up immediately and ran off down the blood track to get the water, stumbling a fair few times over tree trunks and rocks.
Meanwhile, Jack lay Kate on her back, and tilted her back. He then opened her mouth, and bent down over her, placing his lips over hers, and breathing out heavily. He felt her chest inflate, and leaned back, putting his hands on her cheast, and pressing down fimly. 1…2…3….4…5, then he repeated the action. Again and again he did this, as he felt the hope he had built up fade away. "this cant be it!" he thought, as he sat back looking at her lifeless body."it cant, it just cant."
He just couldn't handle the idea that Kate was dead.
Sawyer came running back up the path, expecting to see Kate lying where he left her and Jack, recuperating her strength, but as he came up behind Jack, he saw that this wasn't the case. He felt a tear run down his face, as the cruel realization of what had happened sank in, she was dead, gone.
He sank down next to Jack, who was just staring at her limp body , an expression of deep pain on his face.
They both sat there for what felt like hours, but can't have been more than 5 minutes. Then, suddenly Jack stood up, causing Sawyer to jump. He turned around to look at Sawyer.
"We have to get her body back to camp, or else it will attract animals" he said, in an voice of forced calm.
This was almost to much for Sawyer to bare. He just sat there, staring at Jack in disbelief. How could he act like this. The woman he had no-doubtedly fallen for had just died, she was lying infront of them, he corpse a messed up and bloody , and yet he was showing no emotion at all. It was asthough he never gave a shit about her, and this pushed Sawyer over the edge.
In one swift movement, Sawyer stood up and punched Jack as hard as he could in the Jaw.
Jack stumbled backwards, and raised a hand to his jaw, but instead of retaliating, he just sank to his knees, a single tear sliding down his cheek, and said " I just cant believe she is really dead."
This surprised him more than anything. He wouldn't usually open up like this to anyone, especially Sawyer, but there he was.
Sawyer watched jack sit there, not knowing what to do or say, so he said the only thing he could think of." Okay doc, come on, we really do need to get her back to camp." And he walked over to Kates limp body, and lifted her up, and made his way back to camp, followed closely by a distraught jack
