Chapter 10

"Kate are you alright?"Jack asked looking at Kate's shocked face.

"Yeah,just a bit shocked that's all,it stings a bit though"Kate replied with her hand on her cheek.

"Let me take a look at it,(holding Kate's face in his hands) you'll be fine I'll just put a block of ice on it later, you sure you're alright?"Jack asked.

"Yeah lets go to the beach, sink in the sand,"Kate said looking up at Jack and giving him a kiss. "I love you Jack, just don't cheat on me again,"

"I love you too, I will never do that it didn't mean anything,"Jack said before walking off hand in hand with Kate towards the beach.

Before they got to the beach Sawyer came walking towards the jungle storming towards Kate. "Kate, if I can't have you neither can Jack,"Sawyer said angrily. He then put his hands around Kate's neck and pushed her towards a tree each second his grip getting tighter. He started to lift Kate up off her feet. Jack grabbed Sawyer's arm and managed to pull him of Kate, Sawyer running into the jungle. Jack helped Kate up and started rubbing her back as she got her breath back. "Are you alright?"Jack asked looking at Kate.

"Yeah, do you mind if I sleep in the hatch tonight, I don't want to sleep on the beach where Sawyer is?"Kate asked looking at Jack as if pleadingly him to say yes.

"Of course you can, in fact I'll stay with you, to make sure Sawyer dosn't come in and I'll get Hurley to look after the button,"Jack replied grinning.

"Oooooooohhh Jack," Kate said winking at him and they started walking off towards the hatch arm in arm.

Next morning Kate woke up lying on Jack's chest with his arm around her, she snuggled in and fell asleep but a new nightmare had just started. She grabbed Jack's arm opposite her as if looking for comfort. She woke up seconds later in a pool of sweat. She was shivering as well like she had just been drenched with freezing water. Jack woke up and noticed that Kate was shivering and pulled the quilt over Kate and put his other arm around her. About an hour later both of them woke up, Jack sat up so Kate was sitting in front of him leaning on him. She had the quilt covering her noticing her clothes on the floor. She saw a note on the bedside table addressed to her. "What's this?"Kate asked picking up the letter and showing it to Jack.

"I dunno open it,"Jack said looking confused. Kate found a letter inside and read the note out loud. "Dear Kate, this isn't over, I will kill you if it's the last thing I do. Meet me in the jungle 1/2 a mile in at 12:00pm. Wear that green top of yours that shows too much and goes just above your stomach. If you don't come Jack will suffer. Love you. S"Kate read shaking, she couldn't take it anymore she just burst into tears.

"Kate are you going to go?"Jack asked hugging Kate.

"Yeah I'll have to, otherwise he'll hurt you,"Kate said, smiling up at Jack and then falling back on the covers and putting her hand on her head. Jack smiled and put his hand on her head and moved it backwards pushing her hair back. He leaned in to kiss her, they stayed like that for about 5 minutes when they needed air. " I better get going then, see what he wants,"Kate said leaning down for her bra, then her deodorant. She picked up her green top and carefully put it on as her back was still a bit saw after the fall yesterday. "Do you want help with that?"Jack asked helping Kate with her top and then kissing her on the neck, which made Kate turn around and kiss him on the lips.

Half an hour later Kate was walking through the jungle to where Sawyer said they'd meet. As she walked up she saw Sawyer standing there. "Sawyer what do you want?"Kate asked.

"You,"Sawyer replied grabbing Kate and pushing her towards him. He kissed her on the lips. Kate was the first to brake free. "Sawyer I can't do this, I'm with Jack,"Kate muttered with her forehead resting on his forehead.

"Just one snog won't hurt," Sawyer said in the voice he knew Kate loved.

"Fine just the one,"Kate said giving in knowing that if she didn't Sawyer would hurt Jack. Sawyer leaned in for the romantic snog which Kate returned and ended up with Sawyer pushing Kate to a tree and put his hand on the tree for support.

They kissed for about 10 minutes when Sawyer moved down to her neck and started kissing her neck. Kate closed her eyes imagining what Jack would say if he knew what was happening. It was the time again where she started to have feelings for Sawyer, she couldn't help it. But she knew she'd stay with Jack and she'd do what Sawyer asked as long as Jack didn't get hurt. "Sawyer, why are you doing this? Kate whispered in between kisses. "I love you, you can still see Jack but you've got to keep coming here to me, if you want him to live. Our little secret,come on Kate live a little,"Sawyer whispered and then kissing Kate on her neck making her head turn towards her left . She felt bad but it she was only doing this to save Jack.

" Sawyer I can't do that,"Kate said.

"Don't worry I won't,"Sawyer said . He picked Kate up so her legs were wrapped around his waist. He and climbed up a rope ladder to a hidden tree house, where he put Kate down on a bed he had set up earlier. Kate leaned into kiss him again knowing it was wrong but she couldn't help herself. About three hours later Kate woke in Sawyer's arms. She gently turned over so she was on top of him and kissed his cheek. "I better go, Jack will be worrying where I am, same time same place tomorrow,"Kate whispered in to Sawyers ear.

"Wait,"Sawyer said while Kate was sitting on the edge of the bed. "One last snog until tomorrow,"Sawyer said grinning.

"Fine,"Kate said grinning and leaned into kiss Sawyer. Ten minutes later Kate and Sawyer were climbing down the rope ladder. " See you later Sawyer," Kate said in a flirty way.

"See you later Freckles,"Sawyer said giving Kate a quick kiss before she walked off into the jungle. He had done it, he had made her love him and Jack. She was cheating on Jack without even realising it.

When Kate got to the hatch, she saw Jack sitting on the couch. "Hi, Jack,"Kate said leaning into kiss Jack on the cheek making Jack jump and coming around to sit next to him.

"Hi, how did it go? Did he hurt you?"Jack asked. turning towards Kate.

"No, he didn't, I have to go every day at the same time same place, from now until he says when otherwise your a dead man,"Kate said seriously. She leaned and rested her head on his chest for a hug and then rested her head on his lap and fell asleep. Jack rested his hand on her shoulder. Kate was thinking whether she should tell Jack that she had to sleep with Sawyer. She decided she would. "Uh Jack, Sawyer made me sleep with him and kiss him when I met him,"Kate said seriously.

"WHAT, HE CAN'T DO THAT!" Jack shouted."So he did hurt you,"

"No, he didn't I wanted to, I had too otherwise you were going to die,"Kate replied.

"You wanted to huh, great do you love him?"Jack said not really wanting to know the answer.

"No, I love you, in fact I'm going to tell him now that I can't do this anymore,"Kate getting up and walking out of the hatch. She saw Sawyer standing next to a tree. Sawyer noticed her and gave her a kiss. "Sawyer I can't do this, I can't cheat on Jack, I can't I love him,"Kate said.

"Then you die,"Sawyer said angrily sticking an arrow into Kate's stomach and running off.

"JACKKKKK HELLPPPPPPPP MEE!"Kate shouted falling to the ground. Jack came running out and saw Kate lying on the floor holding an arrow. "Kate,"Jack said running over towards Kate and carefully pulling the arrow out of Kate. He picked up Kate and took her to the bed in the hatch where his medical bag was kept.
