Sawyer ran hard and fast. He had no idea what direction he was going in or where he was headed, but he wanted to get there fast. He stopped short when he saw someone standing in his path.

"Sawyer?" Sawyer just stood there, eyes not moving off the Korean woman. He was lost again, drowning. And he had no idea what this woman was talking about. "Sawyer?" Sawyer shook his head as he snapped out of his trance.

"Hatch… Jack needs you in… hatch." Sun opened her mouth to speak, but Sawyer had pushed past her and began to run again. She shook her head and decided to go find Jack.

Sawyer collapsed onto the sandy ground when he entered the beach. His chest heaved and sweat lined his brow. A few people stopped and were looking at him. It took him a few minutes to realize what was going on.

"What do you think you're looking at?" Sawyer growled and the people went back to what they had been previously doing. He stood up and dragged himself over to his tent. He collapsed on the bed and sighed.

"Sawyer?" Sawyer groaned and closed his eyes. He wasn't in the mood for visitors, he wanted to be alone. "Hey… um…"

"What?" Sawyer said harshly, turning around. He softened a tiny bit when he saw the started look on Claire's face. "Sorry." He mumbled, almost inaudibly. "Not been a good day." Claire pulled Aaron closer to herself.

"Ummmm… what uh… what happened?" Sawyer looked up at her, confused.

"What are you talkin bout Mamacita?" Claire bit her lip.

"Everyone saw you run out of the jungle." Sawyer groaned and closed his eyes. He couldn't let anyone see his pain. He was getting worse at hiding it.

"Yeah well… is that really a surprise in this place? Isn't it rather odd that more people don't run out of the jungle breatheless. I mean… "

"You weren't running from any monster." Claire bit her lip. "You should be with her Sawyer. Trust me, you'll feel horrible if you don't just stay with her." Sawyer shook his head.

"Who are you talking about Claire?" Claire sighed.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"No I don't!" Aaron awoke from his nap and began to cry. Claire gave Sawyer a sad glance.

"She was there for you." Sawyer shook his head.

"I have no idea what you're rambling about…" Sawyer stood up. "And if I did, I would probably tell you that it doesn't matter. That I don't take care of anyone but myself." Claire shook her head and slowly began to back away.

"You're making a mistake Sawyer. One that you'll regret for the rest of your life." Sawyer watched as Claire walked back to her tent. His eyes were full of pain and he walked back over to his bed again.

But there was no sleeping now. Claire's voice was loudly echoing in his mind.
