The Mistake
Chapter 3 – Easier Said Than Done
Kate's POV
By now I'd said goodbye to almost everyone saving the people I thought would be the hardest till last. I had Sawyer, Charlie and Jack left to speak to. 'I'll do Sawyer 1st' I thought 'cause I know for a fact if I do him before Jack he'll go on and on about rejection and scare me out of it'
"Hey" I said walking up to him.
"Hey your self Freckles" he replied "I guess this is it then" he sighed.
"Yeah, but I bet you $400 that I'll see you in prison in the next 8 weeks" I teased
"Me? In Jail? Not abiding by the law? You must be thinking of Sun" he joked
"Oh, ha ha," I sarcastically Said
"Well, erm, I guess you gotta be saying your goodbyes to rock star and Doc" said Sawyer
"Yeah I guess" I replied
"Well bye Freckles, good luck" He said hugging me.
"Goodbye Sawyer" I replied escaping from his hug and walking away
"Hey Charlie" I smiled
"Hey, you okay?" he asked
"Yeah it's just, I'm gunna miss you and everyone else" I tearfully admitted, come on Kate I told myself don't cry, at least not yet anyway.
"Well I can't speak for anyone else but I'm gunna visit you, and I'll pay bail for you if you get it" he said trying to cheer me up
"Thanks but I'm not gunna get bail" Oh no I was crying now
"I'll still visit you though, and you have to take care of your self" he ordered, god now he was gunna start crying
"Okay Dad" I joked
"Now you go tell Jack how you feel" he said hugging me "See you soon, okay?"
"Yep, Soon" I smiled feeling better.
I turned and walked away, now I have to tell Jack. But what if he doesn't feel the same way? I asked myself. Of course he does, he wasn't sorry, was he? I remember when he said that he gave me hope we could be together, we would be together, if it weren't for Michael.
'I hate this' I thought 'I wish me and Jack could have a actual un-awkward conversation. I have to do something about I, anything.'
"I'm sorry I kissed you" I said. Okay that was a lie, but he obviously thought It was a mistake, didn't he? Of course he did.
"I'm not" he almost whispered in reply. 'WHAT' I thought 'HE'S NOT SORRY, OH MY GOD THING ARE GUNNA BE EVEN MORE AWKWARD NOW! Kate calm down and say something, no just kiss him yeah, AND DON'T RUN.
And then as soon as I lean in to kiss him, Bing, bang, boom. Out comes Michael. Stupid Moment ruiner.
By the time I'd snapped out of my 'flashback' if you could call it that I was nearly at Jack. Come on its only 3 words I can't be that hard to say, I told myself.
Jacks POV
I saw her say goodbye to everyone; she broke down a bit on Charlie, now it was my turn.
'Hey' she said to me
'Hey yourself' I replied
"Listen Jack" she started "I know we haven't really been best of friends, or friends really, for ages now but I gotta say, I lo-"
"EWW RAIN!" she was cut off by Shannon yelling. Great way to ruin a moment Shannon. Everyone started to run inside, except me and Kate that is.
"You were saying?" I asked
"Oh right, listen Jack, I know you thought I chose Sawyer, but I didn't, I chose you, it was you all along, I knew we had a connection ever since I sowed up your back, anyway what I trying to say is, I love you Jack, I love you." She said, tears falling from her eyes
"Kate" I sobbed "I love you to, it's just took me a while to tell you"
"You do?" she asked
"Of course I do, I have ever since the Guava seeds" I smiled at the memory. Then I did it I leaned in and kissed her, after what seemed like for ever we broke.
"But Jack, you have to understand, I'm going to jail, and until I come out you have to forget me, as much as I love you, I can't let you be with me whilst I'm in there, I love you to much for that to happen" she cried
"No Kate, I want to be with you, jail or no jail, come on Ka-" I pleaded
"Jack no" she cut me off "please just do this for me, please"
"Okay" I gave in "but I do love you" I kissed her again, this kiss was full of passion, I never wanted it to end but it did, with that she uttered 3 words "I love you" I walked away.
I said I'd forget her but some things, well some things are easier said than done.
