The timer flipped back to 108 as Jack and Hurley were doing their shift. Hurley noticed that his friend wasn't the same, and decided not to ask him about it. He already knew who he's so wrecked over. In fact, he doesn't think Jack even spoke to her since that day. "Jack?" Claire came in briskly glancing around left and right.

Jack looked up quickly "Yeah Claire." She let out a sigh of relief and rushed over to him. "What is it?" he asked.

"Well its about Kate."

The room fell silent as Jack asked "What about Kate?" he tried to hide his feelings in his question but Claire and Hurley still heard it.

"I'm worried about her she isn't sleeping or eating. Do you think you can go talk to her?" she asked unsure.

Jack thought for a moment, pondering why Kate would do this to herself and answered "Are you sure you can't--"

"Jack I don't think she'll talk to anyone right now. No one other than you."

Kate sighed heavily and flipped over onto her back. She rubbed her stomach wishing she could stop being so stubborn and just get something to eat, but her mind wouldn't let her. Her eyes were burning from lack of sleep as she turned over again and put her face down into her pillow. Flashes of memories of normal day island life came through her mind. Good and bad. But all of the good one's had Jack in it. She smiled slightly in her hands. Her eyes opened wide when she heard a gentle rapping at the flap of her tent. "Kate?" Jack said softly "Can I come in?" he heard no answer "Please?"

Kate felt her butterflies again as she answered "I geuss." her voice cracking as she stood up from the ground. Feeling weak and dizzy all at the same time. She almost fell over but he took her arm softly to steady her.

"Woah their Kate. You shouldn't be standing."

"I'm fine. I just... stood up to fast thats all. Anything wrong with the others?" she asked putting her hands on her hips. She stood there, like always, never wanting to give in even when her eyes are barely open.

"Kate you need to think about yourself right now, here I brought you something to eat." he handed her a plate full of food."I heard you haven't been eating. Or sleeping."

She didn't take the plate and instead sat in the sand. Jack sighed and placed the plate beside her and took a seat across from her. She refused to meet his questionable eyes and tried to concentrate on a loose string on her shirt.

"You shouldn't do this to yourself Kate."

"Do what Jack? What do you think i'm doing? Starving myself? I'm not. So I geuss your job is done now, you can go." she said angrily.

Surprised by her outburst, but made no effort to move, he remained there. "I'm not leaving you like this."

"I told you i'm fine." she replied.

"No your not, your face is pale, you can hardly keep your eyes open and you almost collapsed when I came in here. You need to eat something." he pushed.

"I'm not really hungry."

"My God Kate will you stop being so stubborn and just think about yourself for five minutes!" he yelled.

"You don't know anything about me Jack! Since when do I have to do what you say?" she said raising her voice as much as he was.

The two were silent for a moment when Kate stood up "Just forget about me Jack. I'm not worth your," she put her fingertips to her forehead, her eyes closed tightly "your--" she falls to the floor but he quickly caught her before she hit the ground. Jack fell to his knees, sinking in the sand as he checked for any sign of breathing. Kate only heard one word "Kate...Kate...Kate..." as she drifted off into unconsciousness.
