Kate's P.O.V:
Ooh, ooh, "more like me trying to rudely get information out of you", what a bitch! Who does she think she is waltzing in and flirting with Jack? Uh, hello, you drooled a bit next to your lip, you might wanna wipe that. Pff, bitch.
"Are you ok?" Claire asks laughing.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I ask dazzled.
"Well, you just exhaled real dramatically." She answers.
"Oh. Did I?" I ask bewildered.
"Uh, yeah." She answers and starts laughing again.
"Well, it's just… don't you think that new girl is a total bitch?" I spit out.
"Uh, new girl… wha… who, that Ana Lucia chick?" she asks confused and I nod, "I didn't really get the chance to talk to her… so I don't think she's a bitch."
"Total bitch, if you ask me." Shannon comments approaching, "and there's only room for one."
"OK… but role-taking part aside, you agree, right?" I ask her biting my nail.
I can't, for the life of me, remember when I last bit a nail.
"Uh, hell yeah!" she answers, "That girl needs to have her mouth sealed shut. The way she talked to Locke, the way she talked to Sawyer… and she was totally hitting on your man, if you ask me."
I knew I loved Shannon for a reason.
Jack's P.O.V:
"Wow. That's amazing." I say after hearing Ana Lucia's story.
"Pretty much the same shit you've been going through." She answers half smiling.
"Yeah, but I mean, you guys didn't have the medical supply, didn't have the preliminary food…" I trail off.
"Didn't have the heroine doctor." She finishes flirty.
"Did I tell you I'm a doctor?" I answer smiling bashfully.
"Well, I kinda got that seeing how you were all worried about the injured men coming back." She answers smiling.
"Oh." I say laughing.
She hands me a bottle of water.
"Have that drink with me now?" she asks cocking one eyebrow and I nod chuckling.
Just as we take a sip, I hear footsteps behind me.
"Hey, Jack?" I hear Kate's voice and immediately turn around, "oh…" she says as she notices me with Ana, "didn't mean to interrupt."
"Don't be silly, Kate. Ana here just told me what happened to them since the crash." I reply.
"Lemme guess," she starts looking at Ana, "little food, much diseases and coldness?"
"Yeah, and little snippy bitches, also." Ana shoots back.
"Hey now." I say warningly.
"Jack," Kate crouches down beside me stroking my hair, "I think you should check up on Sawyer."
"Is your boyfriend not feeling well?" I ask sarcastically and she laughs softly.
"Don't be silly, Jack." She answers and kisses me passionately.
As she pulls away, she shoots a final look at Ana Lucia and leaves. Oh. I see what she's doing.
"There. You should be fine." I say to Sawyer, stitching up his wound.
"Should be? My, aren't you a bucket of hope!" he comments sarcastically.
"Sawyer…" I trail off tiredly.
"What's the matter, Doc? Oh, I get it… you're not too keen that I came back, are you?" he says.
"No, I'm not." I confess and he looks at me surprised, "people were really counting on that raft. You guys coming back… that took away their hope."
"Yeah, I'm sure that's all it is." He nods sarcastically.
"Sawyer, you seem to know all the answers so why ask the questions?" I snap at him annoyed.
That guy really pushes my buttons.
"What's all the commotion about, Jack? Could it be you're rattled by the fact that your girl might go for me this time?" he asks viciously.
"That's not gonna happen." I reply calmly trying to not get into a fight with him.
"Oh?" he asks with a smile.
"Nevermind." I reply tiredly.
"Is he ok?" Kate asks me approaching.
"Well, he seems to be delirious, but other than that…" I trail off.
"Right," he smirks, "or so your boyfriend would like to think."
"You two boys should really stop bickering this much." She replies smiling.
"Right, 'cause you're being so mature and novel with Ana Lucia." I say smiling cynically.
Her smile fades and she looks at me icily.
"Don't even start the comparison." She warns rising one eyebrow.
"Uh oh!" Sawyer interrupts, "trouble in paradise? Well, I don't know what it is with you and that Bully McMoron chick, but I'm sure it could be resolved by some mud wrestling. In the nude."
"Shut up Sawyer." Both Kate and I say.
"Hit a sensitive spot, huh?" he asks knowingly, "What is it Kate, does Anal have a thing for your man?"
"He's not my man." She mutters looking directly at me and leaves.
"Couldn't screw things up even more?" I ask Sawyer irately and rise.
"Hold on, Doc, what about my cut?" he calls after me.
"Sew it yourself!" I mutter at him and leave to find Kate.
Normally I would never ever leave a patient wounded, let alone tell him to heal himself. But this is Sawyer. And this is Kate. And I can't let her go.
I finally catch up with her in the heart of the jungle. She's pacing angrily towards the beach.
"Hey Kate," I call at her and she speeds up.
I jog over to her and when I'm only arm length away from her I grab her arm and turn her to face me.
"What the hell was that?" I ask angrily.
"What the hell was that!" she asks with disbelief, "what the hell were you doing defending Ana Lucia?"
"For the love of God, what the hell did that woman do to you!" I ask amazed.
"Are you being serious?" she asks fumingly eyeing me.
"Well?" I ask shrugging still not getting what the big deal is.
Sometimes women make a lot out of nothing.
"Nevermind." She answers shaking her head with disbelief, "if you don't know what I'm talking about it really doesn't matter."
She turns and continues her way to the beach, while I'm left standing. I swear to God, I can get the most complicated medical expressions – but for the life of me, I can not get Kate.
