Chapter 4 : Desperate Times
Disclaimer : Wait lemme check. Nope, still nothing. I am still a useless teen who doesn't own LOST.
Jack had been here for hours now. Just sitting here, at the side of the bed in the hatch, waiting. He felt like it was all his fault. She had depended on him. And he had let her down.
She was dying. And there was nothing he could do about it. No meds, no nothing. He didn't know how to help her. Nothing at med school could have prepared him for this. She was there, just there. And he didn't know what to do to help her.
" Kate? Kate?" Jack spoke quietly, desperately to her, as he took her hand. "Kate, please wake up." It was now or never, and Jack knew that if he didn't tell her now, that he never would.
" Kate, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I treated you. You never deserved that Kate. And it took this for me to realise that." Once Jack started, the words just fell out of his mouth.
" Kate, on the day of the Hunting Party, I was never angry with you. I just wanted you to be safe. When I saw you there, with a gun pressed to your head, I was just so scared. I can't imagine life without you Kate. You think you're a bad person, but you're not. You keep punishing your self for things that are in the past, things that don't matter any more. Kate, all I want you to do is to stop lying to yourself.
"You can't see it Kate, you can't read my thoughts. You don't know what it is like, wanting to throttle Sawyer every time I see you and him together. I think, I know that that should be me. I should be the one to hold you, to look after you, to smile when you do. It should be me, and you know that. So why are you so scared Kate? You think you don't deserve me? I'm beneath you Kate. You don't know what I have done in my life, you just assume that I'm better than you.But you're wrong Kate, you're so wrong. Because no one is better than you."
Suddenly, Kate grabbed Jacks hand in a grip of death that was cracking his bones. She sat up, and looked at him. Her eyes were open, but she was looking straight through him.
"Tom?"
G'day Mate!
Well, firstly, I'm sorry about the wait for this. My teachers went through one of those 'I'm bored today, lets give the year 8 class extra homework!' phases, so sorry bout that. Secondly, sorry bout the length of this chapter, but I just had to leave it on that cliffy.
But as a reward for all your patience, I'm gonna upload the next chapter … wait for it…..
DUH DUH DUH DUH DADA! TOMORROW!
Anyways, I have also decided that my 50th reviewer on this story gets their own personal character in the new future fic I'm writing, so get reviewing!
Oh, and btw, if you're a Skater, don't bother , as I am morally opposed to writing Skate and/or Jatekilling.
( You can still review though. I'm not opposed to actual Skater people as I'm sure you are all very nice peeps, just Skate in general)
