Good Answer
Jack and Kate had gone on a hike together to make a 'trade' with the others. This was the first time Jack and Kate had been alone since she had ran from him after they kissed.They had set up camp a couple of hours ago and Jack was watching Kate as she slept opposite him. His eyes seemed to burn through the fire that Kate had made, but he didn't care, he just wanted to watch Kate.
A bout five minutes later Jack heard Kate moan and then move her hand towards the fire, as if going to place her hand in it. Jack ran up to her and kneeled down next to her. "Oh no, you don't,"Jack whispered taking Kate's hand away from the fire. He didn't let go either, he kept hold of it glad he could be close to her. They hadn't been talking lately and he knew that it was his fault. But he couldn't get the image out of his head of Kate being held at gunpoint. He had tried to protect but she wouldn't listen, she never listens.
"Jack, stop it. You don't love her, your just saying it to make me angry. Don't hate me, I love you Jack," Kate shouted in her sleep. Jack turned to Kate in shock. Did she love him? What was she dreaming about? Jack sat down cross-legged next to Kate as Kate had a firm grip on Jack's arm and was making no movement to let go. Jack stared through the fire thinking about what Kate had said. She might have been asleep when she said but she could have meant every word she had said. Did she love him like he loved her? He was thinking about all these questions, he didn't realise when Kate woke up.
"Oh geez," Kate said in shock putting her hand to her chest as she saw Jack sitting next to her.
"Evening, uh good sleep?"Jack asked wanting to ask her about the dream but knew he couldn't.
"Uh, not really, the floors not a very good mattress but it's better that the sand because when your sleeping on the ground you don't wake up with sand covering your face or waking up to with sand up your nose trying to stop you breath. You don't know how many times that has happened. It's a good job I know first aid or I could have a really bad sneezing fit,"Kate joked laughing and smiling up at Jack. She knew that this would all end as soon as they got back to the beach, he would go to the hatch or to Ana and she would go to the beach or to the waterfall.
"Yeah hate it when that happens,"Jack joked glad that they were finally talking. Kate didn't reply but looked towards the fire and then looked down. "Kate are you having nightmares?"Jack asked looking at Kate concerned.
"I think I'm living it,"Kate replied looking at Jack.
"What do you mean?"Jack asked looking back at Kate.
"Well we've got a man-eating polar bear on the run,the others have taken Walt and Michael, hardly eaten for day, hardly slept, had a gun to my throat, ran from you and the one person I love on this island hates me and seems to not care that I even exist. So yeah I'm having a nightmare,"Kate answered before realising what she had said and putting her hand to her mouth. Jack looked at her in shock, he realised that his mouth was open but had Kate just admitted that she loved him? He couldn't believe, was he dreaming all this and was going to wake up at any second.
"Kate,"was all Jack could say. He was in shock, ha hadn't expected this when he woke up this morning.
"Uh Jack, I'm sorry. Pretend I didn't say anything. Ignore me,I'm just tired that's all,"Kate announced trying to convince herself and standing up. She walked over to a nearby tree with her hand to her head. She couldn't believe she had told him that she loved him. Great she had just ruined their friendship even more. Well done Kate.
Jack walked up behind Kate and placed his hand on her shoulder. Before he could say anything they heard a rustling ahead of them. Jack and Kate froze and stared at the bushes. "Kate go behind me, Kate go behind me,"Jack whispered. Kate did as she was told and walked behind Jack. She clutched the back of Jack's shirt. Jack slowly moved towards the noise. "Bad idea, bad idea,"Kate cried shaking her head. Jack put his finger to his lips telling Kate to be quiet. Kate pouted. Jack loved it when she did that. The next thing they knew a net had come from nowhere and picked Jack and Kate in the air.
Even though Jack and Kate were close, Kate leaned in towards Jack. Jack could see that Kate was scared, so he put a protective arm around her. "It's alright Kate,"Jack whispered rubbing Kate's back. Kate nodded.
"Kate,"Jack muttered.
"Y-yeah,"Kate stuttered.
"Love you too,"Jack replied smiling at Kate.
"Friends?"Kate pleaded.
"Nah, we're more than friends. We're a couple,"Jack replied kissing Kate's forehead.
"Good answer,"Kate joked. They might have been captured but Jack and Kate had grins plastered on there faces. They had finally admitted they're feelings for each other.
