You're Not Alone;

He found Kate a little ways off from the others, sitting in front of her own fire. She was alone, looking off into the night. Jack walked towards her and sat down next to her, not saying anything.

"I'm sorry for not telling you, Jack." She said softly, only loud enough so he could hear.

"Sorry for what?"

"For not telling you about me before. I just thought –"

"It's okay," he said looking over at her, knowing that she meant every word she said. It's not like he could stay mad at her for something so stupid. Hell, they didn't even know each other all that well. She didn't know certain things about his past, just like he didn't know about hers.

"What?"

"I said it's okay. I understand."

"You do?"

"Yeah, I do." He smiled and looked over at her, their eyes meeting for just a few seconds, but he was sure he saw something in her eyes. Just a little, but it was most definitely there. It went back to silence after that. Not an uncomfortable silence, just two friends sitting together. Enjoying each other's company. They sat like that for what seemed like hours, just taking in the night's air.

There were so many times where he wanted to lean in, capture her lips with his, feel her body leaning against his, and this was one of those moments. He looked over at her, wondering if he went through with it, would it just be a mistake?

"Kate," he whispered softly, urging her to look at him.

She looked up at him, her eyes questioning what he wanted. He looked into her eyes, and slowly captured her lips with hers. It took her by surprise, but he slowly felt her relax against him and kiss him back. It was like every first kiss is; filled with desire and longing, and even though it didn't last long, it was worth it.

They broke apart and looked into each other's eyes. Jack was the first to look away, staring off into the fire just like before, and then started to stand up. He started to walk away before stating something that he needed to say.

"You're not alone Kate; I'll always be here for you. Remember that."

"I know," she whispered to herself as she watched him walk away into the night.

A/N - I know it's short, but I'm really busy right now and this is all I could do. If you just stick with it.. I'll update soon, promise.
