Chapter 16: Gifts
Kate wandered through the jungle on her way to visit Sun. She felt bad that they didn't get to hang out as much since Sawyer and Jin returned so she thought she go and see how she was.
She was also trying to avoid talking to Jack considering how bad the last conversation went. She would talk to him eventually before he left, but not until she knew what she would say.
When she arrived she found Sun working away with a smile on her face, humming a tune she wasn't familiar with.
"Hey, how's the garden doing?" said Kate.
Sun turned round and gave Kate a smile.
"It's doing well thank you, I am just planting some new seeds I found." said Sun.
"You need any help?" said Kate.
"If you wouldn't mind" said Sun.
Kate kneeled down beside Sun and started to help her.
"So, how are things with you and Jack?" said Sun.
Sun was the only person Kate talked about Jack to. She never told her about the kiss, but had told her just about everything else. She enjoyed talking to Sun; it had been a while since Kate had a friend to share her secrets with, she missed it while she was running.
"Not so good." said Kate wincing.
"I thought that you had talked to him, sorted things out?" said Sun.
"Yeh well, we kinda had another disagreement." said Kate.
"I'm sorry." said Sun.
Sun didn't enjoy seeing Kate and Jack arguing. She had rarely seen Kate happy since they argued, she only smiled when talking to Sawyer, but whenever she walked alone she could tell something was bothering her. She felt that Jack was good for Kate; she also could tell that his friendship meant a lot to her.
"You know, when I first married him, Jin use to give me a flower to remind me how much he cared and loved me." said Sun. "Before we came to this island I was going to leave him. I had a plan to leave at the airport and never see him again. I was all ready to go when I turned to look at him one last time, as I did he turned to me with a flower. In that moment I remember why I fell in love with him in the first place, it made me stay with him."
Kate sat through Sun's story intently listening as she spoke.
"Why are you telling me this?" said Kate.
"You have to remind Jack why you are friends." said Sun.
Kate smiled. She understood exactly what Sun meant. She knew what to gift to give Jack to remind him why they were friends, she just had to find it.
"Thank you, Sun." said Kate.
"Your welcome." said Sun.
With that Kate left to find her gift. She was glad that she had talked to Sun, it put her in a much better mood than she had been in. Now she wasn't afraid to go and talk with Jack before he left.
