Soul Survivor

Chapter Eight

Back On The Beach

Alex awoke slowly. He opened his eyes. He murmured, being uncomfortable. He looked around. He was back on the beach, in the makeshift tent Jack had made for the man with the metal in him. The Sunlight was bright and sand was everywhere. He could see the trees outside of the makeshift tent. He looked down at his body, it was stained with blood. He bent over and was sick. Suddenly, Jack came in

"Oh! Thank God you're ok" said Jack, leaning by Alex's side and cleaning up the mess without any fuss

"W-W-What happened to me?" said Alex, looking pale

"You was attacked," said Jack, looking him, and checking his eyes "By at least eight boars. You're lucky to have survived such an attack. It was a good thing Locke found you, wasn't it?"

"Locke?" asked Alex, puzzled

"Oh, you won't know him. He was out hunting for food when he found you. He brought you straight back here"

"I'll have to thank him..." said Alex "And I've been such a jerk to everyone"

"Listen Alex," said Jack "What I said earlier? I didn't mean it. I was stressed out with Sawyer, he's been hiding everyone's things and not giving them back"

"Oh," said Alex, looking down "It was true though... I'm such an idiot. Arguing like that on the plane... I'm the worst kid ever..."

"Don't say that," said Jack, getting closer to Alex, pretending to being checking him "You're a great kid"

"Thanks" said Alex

And he got closer, Alex grabbed him and kissed him. Just then, Charlie came in, he had a black eye where Alex had punched him

"And you called me for cheating, huh?" he said, and he walked off

"No! Charlie! Wait!" said Alex, trying to get up. But instead, he coughed up blood

"Stay here!" said Jack "You're still too weak to move. I'm going to the fuselage to fine some medicine. Don't move from the tent. Understand me?"

"Yeah," said Alex, looking drained

-----------------------------------------------------------

About an hour passed, and Alex had fallen asleep. He was dreaming about before the crash, and how nice Jack had been to him, even though he didn't even know him. And how nice he still was. For some reason, Alex saw himself with Jack on the beach, alone. Was he falling for Jack?

About ten minutes later, Jack arrived. He looked mad. He had lots of medicine in his arms

Alex sat up "What's up?" he asked

"Sawyer" said Jack, rummaging through the medicine

"What's he done?" asked Alex

"He's gone through the plane looking for cigarettes and porno" said Jack "That could well be other people's stuff... Not sure why they'd want it..."

"Heh.." said Alex

"Ah," said Jack, examining a bottle label "Have one of these"

Alex ate the tablet, and drunk it down with some water Jack had given him. Alex drank the whole bottle

"I needed that" said Alex, placing the bottle on the floor

Jack gave him a hug "Now lay down and have some rest" he said, rubbing his back "You should be ok by tomorrow. And I hope you are"

Alex didn't know what to say, but as Jack hugged him, he felt a warm, glowing feeling inside. And he fell asleep. Jack looked down at the sleeping boy. He lowered him slowly onto the bed, and placed the covers over him. He then gave him a kiss on the forehead

"Sweet dreams..."

(Well, another chappie over and done with! Oh! I forgot to put this: I don't own LOST or any characters, except Alex and his family and Dan (Who is no longer in it X3 XP))
