Hey guys! Thank you for all the reviews I got, and thank you to starshollow108 for suggesting that I should make Kate pregnant. I don't know how often I will be able to update, but I'll try once a week, it's just school work is taking its toll right now.

Chapter two: The note

Jack slowly walked through the door. He had just been told by his long-time boss that he was fired, due to going to work late three days in a row. It was at that point, that Jack finally realized that he had been really stupid to blame Kate; it wasn't her fault at all. The only person to really blame was himself. He shouldn't have blamed Kate for his wrong doings. He was going to apologize right now.

"Kate, I'm home. We need to talk about this morning."

But he didn't get an answer, and he figured she was asleep, so he headed upstairs to their bedroom.

He noticed straight away that Kate's possessions were no longer there, he even checked the wardrobe, and sure enough, all her clothes were gone. Jack raced downstairs, grabbed his car keys, and was about to go back to his car, when he noticed a small note on the fridge, containing Kate's handwriting. He walked over to it and began to read.

You don't know what you've got, until you've lost it.

Jack re-read it over and over, he couldn't believe he had driven Kate out by lashing out at her, he had done this. Jack didn't blame her for leaving, he deserved it, and she was right. He forgot how special Kate really was, and now she was gone. Not if he could help it. What else did he have to lose? He raced out to the car, carrying his car keys, and the note Kate had written.

Checking-in to her part-time apartment, Kate sighed. It wasn't much to look at, but it would do. It had shabby curtains, dirty walls, the furniture had been ruined, and none of the lights were working, but that didn't worry Kate, she could see just fine. Kate didn't know where she was, but she knew it was a great distance away from Jack. She only had enough money for food and shelter, which would last for at least a week, if she just survived on fruit.

'After all, I did spend several months eating fruit on that island.' Kate thought to herself.

After exploring the place where she would be sleeping tonight, she realized that she didn't have a bed, only an uncomfortable-looking couch. But she would only be staying there until nightfall, then she would move on. That night, Kate gratefully left the shabby-looking apartment and started walking, until daybreak. When she found an abandoned building close to daybreak, she crashed there, and slept for the day.

Jack had been searching for Kate for about two days, and still hadn't found any sign of her. He had been checking every cheap apartment, because he knew Kate didn't have a lot of money, until he reached the jackpot.

"Did a Kate West check in?" He asked the manager.

"No, surprisingly, only one person did, my first customer in a long time."

"Can you please describe this woman?"

"Well, she had long, curly brown hair, freckles, a small bag, and looked like she had been crying. But she was a nice looking young girl." The manager commented.

"Which room did she stay in?" Jack asked, hopefully.

"Room three, down the hall, to your left." He pointed to the hall.

"Thanks."

He raced to room three and opened it. The first thing he noticed was a photo, lying on the couch. It was of him and Kate.

'So, she has been here!' Jack's heart raced.

He ran back out to the manager.

"When did she leave?"

"Nightfall," He simply answered, "Any idea what she was running to?"

"No," Jack said, and left, "But I have an idea what she was running from." He said to himself.
