OK, I know this is a short chapter, but I've decided on more updates – shorter chapters. The story is nearly done, and hopefully when I manage to finish it I'll update longer chapters. Thanks for all of your great reviews, I truly appreciate it. Happy holidays everybody! ♥
Kate's P.O.V:
"Hey Sun." I say approaching her tent.
"Hi Kate, how are you?" she asks smiling.
"Um, that's why I'm here actually… I think I'm getting a cold. And I'd like to kill that off before it really starts. Do you have something for me?" I ask.
"Um, yeah I might have some eucalyptus left. It'll open up your nasal." She answers.
"Great, thanks." I smile at her as she enters her tent.
I sigh heavily. Getting sick is about the last thing I need. Well, one thing before Ana Lucia that is. As I contemplate how to kill her and getting away with it, I feel someone wrapping one arm around my waist. I sigh again.
"You ok?" Jack asks worried.
"I'm fine." I answer coldly moving away from his touch.
"Well, you look…" he starts reaching to my face, but drops his hand as I brush him off, "pale."
"I'm fine." I answer tiredly.
"And you're shaking." He continues.
"I'm fine." I repeat slowly and confidently.
"Of course you are." He replies bitterly, "why are you being like this?"
"Like what?" I ask annoyed.
"Why are you blowing me off, Kate?" he asks and for a second I can swear I hear pain in his voice.
"I'm not blowing you off, Jack. It's just that I guess we both have different opinions about each other's feelings." I say feeling the tears beginning to well.
"You wanna talk about feelings, Kate?" he asks quietly to my ear, "I've no problem. the problem is, that one of these days you're gonna wake up and realize you've fallen for me just as hard as I have for you. And it might be too late."
I stand there for a second, shocked the core. I can feel my legs beginning to tremble.
"Sorry Kate, no eucalyptus left. I'll ask Jin to bring some!" Sun says exiting her tent.
"Hey Sun." Jack smiles at her and leaves.
"You two ok?" she asks questioningly.
"Far from it." I answer tiredly.
Really sorry for the shortness of the whole thing, but hey – he told her how feels about her and that's the important thing! Please continue with the great responds!
