This will be a Skate story so be warned!

continues after the launch of the raft.

KATE POV

Kate was hunched in the corner in Sawyer's tent by herself. It looked empty and cold as she glanced at the place where Sawyer had once lived, breathed and slept. She pulled her curls back into a ponytail and got ready to search. Jack had sent her in so she could look for some alcohol, he had run out and many people had infected cuts and wounds. She had walked into the empty tent cautiously because she felt as if she was intruding in Sawyer's personal life.

She looked around the room where there were a few dusty suitcases and items lying around on the floor. Ever since he had left on the raft she felt...empty like this room. She grinned to herself. What would Sawyer say if he knew I was here going through his stuff?. She knelt on the floor and dragged the battered blue suitcases to her. It stank of sea water.She unzipped it and rummaged around untill she found what she was looking for, a small pile of alcohol bottles. She picked one up and looked at it, the clear substance within; This can either hurt OR heal...Like Sawyer...

She shivered as a gust of wind blew in from the beach. She picked up one of Sawyer's shirts and put it on over her green top. It was huge and nearly reached her knees. She inhaled Sawyer's scent and hugged the shirt to her, feeling comforted. She closed her eyes and remembered all of the times that her and Sawyer had spent together. She snorted as she remembered the times he had been a complete ass too.

I wonder if I'll see him ever again? we were the same...both outcasts. I am alone now. Nobody really trusts me now that they know about me...that's sawyers fault. I shouldn't feel this way after all he did to me. But I can't help it. I can't help remembering his lips, his touch, his kiss. Sure,I only had kissed him becauseI had to but still... we have a love/hate relationship. Half the time I love him, the other half, I want to kill him.

She picked up the the small bottles and stuffed them into her rucksack. She slung it over her shoulder and marched out.

"Did you get it?" said Jack looking up from where he was bathing shannons grazed knee. Kate nodded and handed over the bottles, and even as she did, she felt as if she was doing Sawyer some kind of injustice.Jack unscrewed the top of one and dabbed it on to shannons knee where she winced and Sayid held her hand closely.

Jack looked up and frowned. "Why are you wearing Sawyer's shirt?" he asked. He looked slightly downcast as he went back to tending Shannons knee.

Kate looked down and noticed that she was indeed, still wearing sawyer's shirt. "Oh, I umm got cold and I found it in there" she said calmly.

Well it IS half true. I just left out the part thatI missed Sawyer..

Shannon looked up at her and grinned secretly. She knew ALL about the love triangle going on. She was good at observing these things. One of the only things she WAS good at, but hey it was a good skill to know.

Kate caught shannons grin and said, "What's so funny?" she raised her eyebow at the blond girl and the girl waggled her tongue back at her while Jack was still looking down.

"Oh, nothing..." shannon replied. Kate smiled, Shannon wasn't as stupid as you would first think.

"Well, I'm off," Kate declared as she picked up her rucksack and headed for her tent which was a little further along the beach. Shannon waved as Kate set off. She stopped. Her shoes were filled with sand, she removed them and walked along the shore, allowing the waves to gently wash over her feet as she walked. The waves crashed on shore, and overlapped, dissolving her footsteps as she walked on.

The moonlight was strong and she could see what everyone was doing. The sea was a beautiful turqoise glimmered like emeralds as the moonlight reflected off it.

She had a feeling that Jack didn't trust her much now as he believed that she poisoned Michael. She had told him that it wasn't her fault that Michael ended up drinking it. She knew that and although Jack did too...he always gave her a funny look nowadays. A look she couldn't decipher.

The last thing that she thought, was Sawyer and his scent. She felt comfortable in his shirt as she gently nodded off.

It would be even better if she could just...see him again.

JACK

"I'm worried about her" he declared while the others looked at him. Except for shannon who was leaving against a rock, carefully painting her nails a delicate shade of pink. She looked up and rolled her eyes at Jack and his stupidity.

"Yeah we ALL are"

Jack looked at her and smiled.

"I know, I know It's just, since the raft... well you know"

Shannon and claire nodded, they DID know. Since Kate had found out that the raft had been destroyed, she had been quiet, plastering a fake smile on if anybody asked how she was. But lately, the mask had slipped and Kate had been more and more quiet.

So yeah that sucked. Im fairly new to this, so i'll try to get better and Sawyer will be in it next chapter! brownie promise.
