Jack, Kate, and an Empty Hatch

Jack and Kate have just come out of the hatch. It is midnight and everybody has heard about their time in the hatch. Both of them are very nervous about going back to the caves. They don't know whom Charlie told, besides Claire, and they don't want to find out. They are walking slowly, hand in hand, on the long path back to the caves.

Kate is leaning her head on Jack's shoulder and they are holding hands.

"Jack" Kate was beginning to fall asleep.

"Hmm?" he was beginning to fall asleep too.

"Can we walk faster? I hate the dark, especially on this scary island. It already creeps me out during the day. It's even worse at night." He put his arm around her and felt the goose bumps on her back.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. No monster's going to get you tonight. I promise." He pulled her closer to him and her goose bumps went away.

"Thank you, Jack." She felt so safe in his arms.

"For what?" He laid his head on top of hers.

"Everything. I love you, Jack." She looked up at him.

"I love you too, Kate." He kissed her gently on the cheek. "I love you too" they kept walking until they reached the caves. Not to their surprise, everyone was still asleep. Kate was still scared of the dark island, so she climbed onto Jack's tent and lay down next to him and fell asleep.

The Next Morning:

Jack woke up and saw Kate lying next to him. He remembered what happened and decided that she needed the rest so he left her to sleep. He climbed out of his tent and was greeted by almost the whole camp. He figured that it was about ten since that is what time he usually wakes up after a late shift. Which meant that Charlie was done with his shift and probably telling every person on the island about what he saw last night.

"Hey, man. Heard you had a great time in the hatch last night." Jack heard Hurley from behind him.

"Oh, hey Hurley." Jack wanted to ignore all rumors going around the island, even if they were true.

"Hey man. Don't change the subject. Come on, I wanna know, are the rumors true? Cause if they are, I bet you are the one and only person on this island who is actually having fun, besides Kate of course." Hurley was starting to annoy Jack.

"Uh, sorry Hurley. I've got to go." And with that, jack disappeared into the forest. He had to find Charlie.

'Charlie, why the hell did you have to tell every freakin person on this island what your nosy eyes saw?'

When Jack found him, he was by the waterfalls, making out with…who do you think?
