Chapter 5
Don't you dare?
"Michael?"Jack asked shocked.
"Yeah Michael, we've got to go now. They're coming,"Michael whispered. Jack nodded and they started walking down the path towards the beach. "So you too are finally a couple then?" Michael asked grinning.
"I'm not talking about this, look we're here now. How about you go and sort out your tent," Jack laughed as Michael stared at him and walked off. Jack carried Kate onto the beach and towards her tent. Nobody noticed they were there as everyone was crowding around Michael. Except Sawyer who was heading towards them.
"Do you mind if I carry Kate to her tent, I'm sure you Doc would want to check on Michael?" Sawyer announced.
"No, Michaels alright,"Jack replied.
"I'm sure Kate will be the judge of that," Sawyer smirked.
"I'm happy with Jack thanks,"Kate replied as Jack walked off towards her tent. Jack wrapped a bandage around Kate's ankle and helped her up. "You should be fine, keep trying to walk on it. I've got to talk to Sawyer about showing me where the guns are,"Jack ordered kissing Kate on the forehead and walking towards Sawyer. Kate decided that she would go and pick some fruit.
"Sawyer what is your problem? Why can't you just leave Kate alone. Accept that Kate's with me. Nothings going to change no matter how hard you try you will not split us up!" Jack yelled at Sawyer making a few people turn their heads as soon as Jack had said that he was with Kate. "Yeah well the fugitive will get bored soon, she'll run. I'll make sure of it or she'll get hurt," Sawyer replied. Jack punched Sawyer in the nose which made Sawyer fall to the ground. Jack leaned down towards Sawyer. "Don't you dare hurt Kate or do anything to her again. Never speak about her like that again especially to me. Got it!" Jack yelled turning around and walking off.
"What happened to you?"Ana asked as she saw Sawyer walk into the hatch.
"Like I'll tell you,"Sawyer said angrily walking into the shower. Back at the beach Jack was chatting to Charlie and Michael.
"So you two made up then?"Charlie asked.
"What do you mean? What happened between you two?" Michael asked.
"I don't want to talk about it,"Jack replied.
"Well Jack, Sawyer and Locke went on a hike to get you, Jack told Kate she couldn't come, she got mad and followed them. Kate got herself kidnapped by the others. She had a gun to her throat and Jack was the one who had to make the decision on whether she lives or dies. He dropped the guns. When they came back he completely ignored her. She nearly got herself killed again. She nearly fell down a cliff and there's more that they're just keeping to themselves. Oh and they kissed and she ran. Claire told me,"Charlie explained.
"What do you mean she nearly fell down a cliff?"Jack asked.
"Oh you didn't know huh. After a couple of days of you ignoring her she ran to the highest cliff on the island. Claire found her when she was about to jump. She said that she should just end it if you're ignoring her and that your the only person who keeps her sane on this island. When you stopped talking to her she felt as if she had lost everything,"Charlie explained.
"I've got to go,"Jack muttered walking off towards Kate's tent. Had he really hurt her that bad?
Kate was just walking back to the beach when Sawyer came out of nowhere and walked at her pushing her towards a tree with his hand. He put his hands around Kate's neck tightly.
"Jack!"Kate screamed.
"Don't you ever get Jack to sort out your problems again,"Sawyer warned his grip getting tighter.
"Sawyer, please stop," Kate mutter weakly trying to breath. Sawyer's grip became tighter. Thankfully Eko came round the corner at this point and pushed Sawyer out of the way. Kate fainted and fell the ground. "Stay away from her," Eko warned picking up Kate and walking towards the beach to find Jack.
"Where's Jack?"Eko asked Charlie.
"In Kate's tent, what's wrong with Kate?"Charlie asked following Eko as he power-walked towards Kate's tent.
"Jack, it's Kate,"Charlie called to Jack as he walked into Kate's tent. "Why what's wrong?"Jack asked standing up. Jacks eyes widened as Eko walked in carrying Kate. Jack took Kate from Eko and put her on her make-shift bed. Jack noticed the marks on Kate's neck. "Eko do you know what happened?"Jack asked while placing a wet cloth over Kate's forehead, he lifted Kate's head up to try and get her to sip some water. "Yeah Sawyer was strangling her,"Eko explained. Jack should have known that it was Sawyer.
