Previously…
JACK: erm…you ever been married?
KATE: yeah, it um didn't last to long…not even a week actually
Kate laughed to herself nervously
Jack nodded and smiled a bit
KATE: His name was Chris, I met him in Vegas, we both had a bit too much to drink and thought it would be really funny to get married; it wasn't in the morning though.
Jack slightly laughed at this and Kate joined in.
KATE: We didn't even remember getting married until breakfast…I ran out the door as soon as I realized, then got an annulment the same day. Probably a record for the shortest marriage ever.
JACK: Yeah…I was married once too.
KATE: Yeah?
JACK: Yeah, her name was Sarah…she was a patient and I fixed her back. I…I thought I loved her, I almost left her at the altar on our wedding day but didn't, I should've! She left me for another guy.
Jacks expression changed from sad, to depressed to a little bit angry
KATE: Well, she must have been crazy
Jack smiled at this and looked into Kate's eyes, they were full of sadness and he knew it was him that was doing it
JACK: Kate, you know, we don't have to do this…I'm not mad at you
KATE: Yes you are Jack
JACK: Kate, no I'm not!
KATE: Well, you should be
JACK: Well, I'm still not mad at you
KATE: Even though I've lied to you, done the complete opposite of what you've asked me to do, kissed you, ran from you after I kissed you and treated you horribly!
JACK: You see the problematic thing is, is that I love you
KATE: You love me?
Kate looked shocked; a tear surfaced to her eye lid and was in serious danger of falling down her cheek.
JACK: Yeah
Jack looked deeply into Kate's eyes but she was avoiding his gaze
KATE: Really?
JACK: Yeah, I really love you
KATE: I…erm
JACK: It's Ok, I get it…I didn't expect you to feel the same, it was just a hope.
The tear escaped Kate's eye and she stood up
KATE: I need to go…I need to get my head straight
Jack nodded, he looked hurt
JACK: Sure
KATE: But, I'll be back, so don't go anywhere…I need some fresh air, then we'll talk
Jack offered a small smile, meaning yes
KATE: Ok
Kate smiled at Jack and left the room, leaving Jack alone.
Kate leaned against a tree outside the hatch, sobbing. She was confused, she didn't know what to do, did she love Jack? She knew she liked him, a lot, but would it work between them, or would she just screw up like she always did around him, if she went with Jack, both there hearts would break, either he would get tired of her stubbornness or she would do something stupid and ruin it.
Kate sat thinking things over for about an hour, Jack hadn't left the hatch, she knew what she had to do.
INSIDE THE HATCH
Jack was still sitting on the couch where Kate had left him, although he did get up to press the button. He was thinking about what would happen now, would Kate run away again? Does she love him? He didn't know the answer to any of these questions. Just then the hatch door slowly creaked open, Kate walked into the hatch, her eyes swollen from crying and her face tear stained, she still looks beautiful, Jack thought.
JACK: Hey
KATE: Hey
Jack got up and walked towards Kate, he pulled her into a hug and she surrendered to his strong arms, collapsing into his chest and burst into tears again.
JACK: Hey, come on…it's alright
KATE: It's not
JACK: Why are you crying?
KATE: Because you said you love me, and I can't be with you because I'll screw up or hurt you, like I always do
JACK: Kate, you won't hurt me
KATE: I will, I already have
Jack releases Kate and looked at her, he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her
JACK: Fresh start?
KATE: Again?
JACK: I'm generous
Kate laughed and leaned in for another kiss, Jack did not hesitate to kiss back. They stood there for about half and hour embracing each other.
JACK: We'll be alright
KATE: No…we'll be Great!
Jack kissed Kate once more before finally releasing her. They both knew that no matter what happened they both had each others backs!
A/N: I think it's finished, sorry about the rubbish ending! I don't really know what else to write, I think that the story is finished How sad. Please leave a comment!
