Thanks reviwers. People who don't review...smell :P
KATE
Kate sat by his side, holding his sweaty palm in hers and gently stroking his hair with the other. She had sat there for the past 12 hours straight, not moving at all, and he still hadn't woken up. His hair was plastered to his face with sweat and he his temperature was definately higher. She might not be a doctor, but she knewas she hadn't left him yet.Jack had brought her some food a while ago, and after eating it she felt a bit better than before, but she didn't dare leave his side, in case he woke up.
"Kate...you've sat here long enough, one of us can go watch him, you NEED to sleep" Jack tried to reason with her. He had been coming in everynow and then, to see what she was up to. He was envious and he knew it, but he tried to reason with himself, it was Kate's choice.
"Jack I'm fine" Kate replied, flashing him a weak but reassuring smile, and turned her gaze back to Sawyer.
Jack sighed and tossed her some food in a plastic bag. She caught it deftly and smiled
"Thanks" she murmured, looking up at him. He nodded and laughed at her.
"Just don't over do it ok?" he asked."sure"
She moved her seat a little closer and lay her head on his chest as it slowly rose and fell. He was warm and seemed to give off a buzz when he touched her. She got the shivers, but ignored them, too weary. Her eyes felt like lead, and although she struggled with all her might to keep them open, they slowly drooped and she fell into a deep slumber.
SAWYER
He played with her dark curls, weaving them through his fingers, coiling them round his hands. She was still asleep and didn't show any signs of waking soon. He gazed down on her as she slept. He had been surprised to wake up with Kate lying on him breathing on him, holding his hand, clutching it tightly. He of course thought he was dreaming until the sharp pain in his shoulder confirmed that he was actually awake.
At that moment...knowing that he was alive, with Freckles there with him, holding his hand, he had never felt so happy in his life.
The sea breeze hit his face blowing her curls out of his hands. He looked up to see that the curtain had been pulled away by Jack who looked at him slightly surprised.
"You're awake" he said slightly shocked.
"Talk about stating the obvious" Sawyer grinned at him but then frowned again as a sharp bolt of pain shot through him.
He coughed a bit then steadied himself, seperate not to wake Kate up.
Jack noticed Kate lying there and looked a bit dissapointed but sighed.
"Glad shes asleep, she has been over doing it. I told her not too" he said unhappily. Sawyer looked at him, his interest peaked for a moment,
"So...what do you mean? what has she done?" he asked. Jack looked at him, considering about what to say, before deciding on the truth.
"We were in the jungle...Kate and I... Sawyers face darkened for a moment we were picking fruit, for about 3 hours before we ran into you lot. We carried you here, and she waited outside the tent for about 3 hours while I patched your wound up, then she came in here, and just...looked over you for 12 hours without moving. I brought her food and stuff, but she wouldn't sleep, in case you woke up. She hadn't been sleeping anyway for the past week or so but after doing all of that...I'm not surprised she is exhausted." Jack finished off and Sawyer looked at Kate fondly for a moment before Jack spoke again.
"You're still ver weak from-" Sawyer was about to object about his ridiculous weak insult but Jack carried on "so don't even think about moving."
Sawyer who was still finding it hard to speak and breath, rolled his eyes as Jack walked out. He closed his eyes until he felt Kate stir on him.
He opened his eyes to see her getting up confusedly, before rubbing her eyes wearily. She looked at Sawyer before, gasping
"You're awake!"
Sawyer just smiled at her and said
"Heya Freckles"
