Claire had to talk to her brother. She knew that this relationship Jack had with Sarah was wrong. That girl would only be hurt him. So, Claire headed towards his room.
Jack couldn't stop thinking of Kate. She was on his mind a lot lately. He didn't understand the feelings he was having, but he had to stop them for Sarah's sake. It was just in Jack's nature to make everyone happy. To fix what was broken. He was even listening to Kate's favorite, Patsy Cline, on his CD player. "Crazy" was playing and it fit his mood. He had to figure out what to do with Kate and Sarah.
"Can I come in?" He heard Claire ask.
"Yeah!" And he shut off the CD.
"We need to talk!" She plopped down next to him on the bed. Claire had an urgent look on her face.
Jack rolled his eyes. "What now?"
"What do you feel about Kate?" Claire asked with her arms folded across her chest.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He tried to dismiss her.
"I'm your sister! I can tall when something is bothering you. We are supposed to tell each other everything."
"That's sisters Claire." Jack teased.
"Well, I not ever going to have a sister unless you marry Kate, so you better tell me what's going on now!" Claire demanded. "I want the whole truth."
"Fine." Jack said defeated and Claire got excited. "I'm starting to feel different around Kate. It's not like how it used to be. It's similar to how I felt when Sarah and I started dating. But it's much stronger. I never felt this way about anyone. But if I ever say anything it will ruin our friendship and I can't loose Kate."
Claire understood. "I would feel the same way if I were in that situation, but you and Kate are made for each other. It's fate!"
"There is no such thing a fate Claire."
"Yes there is and you know it! It's what brought us together. If my real mom hadn't given me to dad and mom, I would be in some stranger's house and you wouldn't even know me. Everything happens for a reason Jack!"
Jack just stared at Claire. She made perfect sense. Maybe fate was a real thing.
"Are you still going out with Sarah tonight?" Claire asked changing the subject.
"Yeah. After movie night though."
"That reminds me! I better help mom with the food. Maybe you should change to look you best for Kate." Claire teased, but really meant it.
When Claire left, Jack was glad to have time alone to think.
"Oh my God!" Kate and Claire screamed. Claire hid behind a pillow while Kate buried her head in Jack's shoulder. That was on of the reasons he liked horror movies. Kate would close her eyes and cling to him.
Jack and Kate were sitting on the couch, Claire was stretched out on the love seat, Sawyer was in the recliner, and Hugo "Hurley" Rehyes was on the floor. The 5 of them always got together every Saturday night.
"Dude! That was awesome!" Hurley said when the movie was over.
"You pass out when you see blood Hurley. How can you like it?" Jack asked.
"Cuz its fake dude."
"But what if it wasn't?" Sawyer asked. "What if we were stranded on an island with monsters?" He seemed amused.
"Dude! I'd be insane or passed out or maybe I would be the comic relief." This made everyone laugh.
Claire spoke next. "I'd be scared, but as long as you all were with me, I would feel safe."
"I would be the bad boy every woman wants." Sawyer stated. This made everyone laugh. "Shut up! You know it's true."
It was now Kate's turn. "I think I would help everyone out. Try to help get food, treat the wounded, things like that."
"Me too." Jack added. "I would probably be a doctor by then, so that would help. Then we could take on the monster and kill it."
"Just what we need. The heroic doctor. The one who always gets the girl." Sawyer joked.
This made Kate blush, which Jack finally noticed.
After everyone left, Jack, Kate, and Claire were alone.
"Can you believe senior year starts next month?" Claire asked.
"It's going to be fun." Jack added.
"But also sad. We might not see a lot of people after this year." Kate said.
"We'll always stay together." Jack told her as he hugged her. Claire just sat back and smiled.
"You all want to watch another movie?" Kate asked.
"I can't. I have a date with Sarah." Jack said even though he wanted to stay.
"Oh." Kate then looked sad. She figured Sarah was coming.
"I know something that will cheer you up." Jack wiggled his eyebrows.
"What?" Kate asked smiling.
"This." And before she knew it, he was on top of her tickling her. They were giggling and Jack wouldn't stop. Not even when Claire heard the doorbell and went to get it.
"Sarah!" Claire said surprised. "I thought Jack was getting you?" She's going to love this!
"No, Jack told me to meet him here." Sarah then heard shouts from the living room and walked toward it. Claire did nothing to stop her.
"Jack! Stop it!" Kate giggled and yelled.
"No way Katie!"
Sarah then stopped in her tracks when she saw them. This did not look right. Sarah looked furious and Claire did all she could from not laughing.
"Sarah!" Jack said as he got off of Kate. "You're early."
"Actually, I'm NOT!" She saw Kate straightening her clothes and looked even angrier.
Jack looked at the clock and Sarah was right. "I'm sorry Sarah. We all were watching a movie."
"We need to talk Jack. NOW!"
He turned towards Kate and Claire and said, "I'll be right back." He then led Sarah to his room.
Claire burst out laughing when they were gone.
"It's not funny Claire!" Kate tried to tell her.
"Yes it is!"
Kate thought about it and a small smile came to her face. It was a little funny.
