Chapter 4
Thanks for the reviews. Hope you like this chapter. I've been on writers block for a while.

Boone dropped to one knee beside the girl. "Who do you think she is?" He asked, looking up at Sawyer.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?"
Kate ran her hand through her pony tail and expressed her concerns. "Well, we can't leave her out here. She looks so young."
"And apparently tired." Charlie added.
"My only question is: Who is she and why is she out here?" Boone was lost. "Should we wake her up?"
"That's our only choice." Sawyer knelt down on one knee. He lightly shook the girl. "Is she even alive?"
Shannon sat, watching the doctor work on Sayid. She wanted him to leave so she could talk to Sayid; that was…if he could talk.
She stood and walked closer to the tent, just in earshot. She could here Jack mumbling things.
"It'll be all right, Sayid. I have to go to the caves for some more medicine. Hang in there, okay?" Jack caught sight of Shannon. "Shannon! Can you watch Sayid for me? I have to go to the caves for more supplies."
Shannon nodded, carelessly. "Sure."
Jack left Shannon alone with Sayid. Just what she had hoped for. "Sayid?"
His eyes cracked open and he spoke, barely above a whisper. "Shannon…"
"Don't talk. I just came here to comfort you…I guess." She managed a smile. "Want me to sing you a song?"
He managed a slight nod.
"This is a song called La Mer. When I was living in France, my boyfriend had a son, who would watch this stupid show over and over and over again. I memorized the song from hearing it so many times…."
La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
Sayid looked into Shannon's brown eyes as she looked into his. Her voice was beautiful; pure and not too high.
La mer
Au ciel d'ete confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergere d'azur
Infinie
Voyez
Pres des etangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillees
Through all the pain, Sayid smiled.
La mer
Les a berces
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A berce mon coeur pour la vie
She finished her song on one last pure note.
"Beautiful…" It was all Sayid needed to say.
"Hey, girl, you gotta wake up. We can't leave ya here out in the open, with there being monsters and such." Sawyer had had no luck in getting the girl to wake up. She was in a dead sleep.
"Saywer?"
"What?" He sighed out of frustration.
"Can I try?" Kate knelt down beside him. "Hey…" She lightly tapped the girl's cheek. "Can you hear me? We need you to wake up so we can have you come back with us."
The girl stirred and rolled onto her back. Sensing there was someone there, she opened her eyes. She let out a scream and backed away, stopped by the tree behind her. "Wh...What do you want? I didn't do anything. I was just sleeping…" Fear. She was terrified.
Kate spoke first, motioning to the others not to say anything. "We aren't here to hurt you or take you away. We were actually out here looking for someone and you just happened to be laying here. What's your name?"
"I…I don't know. I don't remember anything." She blinked back tears.
"Can we call you something else?"
"Well, for some reason I've just been calling myself Julia. It's the first name I thought of. So I guess it's my name."
"Julia." Kate took the girls hand. "Why don't you come with us?"
"Okay…"
"Sawyer, I'm going to bring her back. You guys go ahead and keep looking for Claire."
Sawyer hesitated and then said, "Wait…I'll go with ya. You can't go alone. Not with the girl taggin' along."
"Fine with me."
Jack entered the caves and headed straight to where he kept all of his medication. He opened the top drawer to get Ultram. This drug would be used as a pain killer for Sayid's back.
But when Jack opened the drawer the bottle wasn't there. He frantically went through all the drawers, looking at every single label on every single bottle. Did I misplace it? Damn it, what did I do with that bottle?
The medicine was gone and Jack wasn't going to find it anywhere in the caves. Gone.
Damn it.
Flashback
"Shannon…I don't understand why you won't listen to me." The man standing in front of her was her brother. Her step- brother, but her only true friend.
"Boone, when are you going to realize that I've never listened to you? Hmm?" She flipped her hair and spun on her heel.
"Wait. Shannon, I don't want you to leave. Not again. Not like every other time you've left me." Boone's eyes were pleading, hoping, wishing.
"Leave you? I'm never going to leave you, Boone. I'll always be within a phone calls reach."
"It's not the same…" He looked down.
Shannon wrapped her arms around him. "Don't you worry. I'll stay, just for you. But the next time I find someone, some other guy, and I really love him, I'm not gonna stick around and wait for you to tell me how you feel."
Boone gritted his teeth and swallowed. "Then why don't I tell you now? I love you, Shannon. I always have."
End Flashback
Shannon blinked back tears. She couldn't help but feel bad. She had always been so cruel. To everyone. But now she was going to change. Starting with Sayid.
"We should make camp here for the night."
Kate set up the fire and Sawyer lit it. Julia having been worked up so badly, was already sleeping. That gave Sawyer and Kate a little time to themselves.
Sawyer took a seat by the warmth of the fire and Kate followed suit.
"So…" Sawyer handed Kate his jacket. "You can have this."
Kate smiled and took it. "Thanks."
Sawyer took a brave step and asked Kate something he doubted she would answer. "Have you ever been love?"
She looked at him with a confused expression. "Of course, why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering." He grinned.
"Have you?"
The question caught him off guard. Have I ever been in love? "No."
Kate laughed. "You've never been in love? Are you joking?"
Sawyer shook his head and rested his head back, closing his eyes.
"Wow."
He took a deep breath and looked Kate in the eyes. "But I think I am."
"What?" She asked, startled by his statement.
Just as Sawyer was about to speak, Julia sat up and spoke, just above a whisper. "I know who I am."
Thanks for reading. I got this crazy idea and I love it. Review, review, review. Please. (:
