Chapter One

It had been two days since Jack and Kate kissed in the jungle. They hadn't spoken to each other since,Jack was confused and angry about why Kate ran off when she kissed him. He was sitting on the beach thinking about the kiss when he heard footsteps behind him. Kate sat down next to Jack and she could tell he was thinking about something, probably the kiss. "Want to go for a walk with me Jack?" asked Kate looking at Jack. "Yeah ok," replied Jack thinking maybe now she can give me some answers.

"Kate can I ask you something?" asked Jack stopping and looking at Kate. Kate stopped , looked at Jack and nodded. "Did you want to kiss me or did you just do it because you were upset?" asked Jack. "Yeah I did want to kiss you," answered Kate. "Did you want to kiss Sawyer?" asked Jack. "No I only kissed him so he could tell us where the inhalers were. But I wasn't thinking about him when I was kissing him and I was imagining him as someone else," replied Kate with a smile on her face which Jack loved. "Yeah who's that?" asked Jack. "Now that would be telling," replied Kate and she walked off. Half an hour later Jack stopped Kate, "What's wrong?" asked Kate looking into Jacks eyes. "Tell me who you were thinking of when you were kissing Sawyer?" asked Jack. "You really want to know even if I'm going to be embarrassed," said Kate. "Yes I won't tell anyone," said Jack giving her his puppy dog eyes which Kate loved. "Ok ok and I told you not to pull that face again you can persuade me to do anything with those eyes,I was thinking of you there you happy," admitted Kate. "Ok good ," said Jack walking off smiling.

A few minutes later they were walking deeper into the jungle not knowing where they were going, "I'm sorry I ran Jack," apologised Kate. "Why did you run?" asked Jack. Kate just looked at him and carried on walking just then Kate and Jack were walking and then Kate fell down a muddy hill dragging Jack down with her. At one point both of them were hanging off a branch by their clothes and they fell out of their tops and carried on falling . When they finally got to the bottom Jack ended up on top of Kate. "So your going to tell me why you ran ?" asked Jack. "But ..."said Kate. "No buts I'm not moving until you tell me," interrupted Jack. "Fine,I ran because I was afraid," answered Kate. "Afraid of what?"asked Jack. "Of admitting that I loved you,"replied Kate afraid what he might react. "But you don't need to be afraid," said Jack. "Why?" asked Kate. "Because I love you," said Jack. They both looked into each others eyes and they both realised that neither of them had a top on. Jack looked down at Kate looking at her bra and remembering the last time he saw it when they were running away from wasps. Kate put her hands on Jacks chest and was looking at Jack. "So Jack, what's going to happen between us now, are we just going to carry on as normal or what?" asked Kate breaking the silence. "We could be a couple if you want us to be one?" asked Jack. "Yeah ok," answered an excited Kate. They looked into each others eyes and they kissed and Kate knew she wasn't going to run away from him again and she couldn't believe Jack was FINALLY her boyfriend. "Lets go find our tops then," said Kate. Jack nodded and got off Kate then helped her up. They saw their tops on branches on the hill they fell down. Kate and Jack got their tops and when they got to the top of the hill Jack put on his top and when Kate was starting to put hers on she was stopped by a voice. "I wouldn't do that if I were you love," said a familiar voice. "Zech,"said Jack and Kate as they watched Zech walk out in front of them. "Jack tie Kate to that tree now or i'll kill both of you," ordered Zech. Jack did what he was told as he didn't want anything to happen to Kate. Zech then tied Jack up on the nearest tree and he then got out some rope and he started hitting Kate with the rope. Jack hated seeing Kate being hurt it was even worse hearing her scream in pain. Zech then started to hit her legs. Jack thought Zech was an evil man to do that to Kate.Zech then untied Jack and ran off with Kates top. Jack looked over at Kate who was shaking . Jack untied Kate and took off his own top and put it over Kate. He pulled her close to him and comforted her as she cried. After a few minutes they walked back to the caves to change clothes and they both decided to go out for a walk.
