This is dedicated to Jimmy-barnes-13 and alara and Larantine, my anonymous reviewers who kindly pointed out the mistake I made with this! Sorry about that, I did write this late at night and I didn't beta it properly so this is the chapter replacement. Larantine, you weren't way off, the whole sentence about Duckett didn't make sense! Enjoy this again!
Sawyer
Trapped on a desert island
Never reveals his hand
Isolated from emotion
Unable to connect
The long Con a distraction
From the things that were meant to be
Fate
Freckles and the Doc, the Doc and Freckles. Kate and Jack, the hero and the fugitive. I should've guessed before now that she'd set her sights a little higher than a conman like me. S'pose it serves me right though, I took his guns, he took my girl; but she wasn't really my girl to start with was she? Hell, Jacko why couldn't you be in here just this once? So maybe we can get out of this sardine can and off this craphole island. If you can give me that, I won't have to go near you or Freckles ever again. But I don't know why that should make a difference, 'cause she's one girl I can't forget.
Playing the long con sure had its moments. The adrenaline rush, the sweet smell of success and the profit. But, conning Cassidy was probably the worst thing I've ever done. She had no idea she was being conned, not even at the very end. It was all in the details. That was one of my lowest moments, only beaten by when that son-of-a-bitch killed my parents.
Going to Australia to find him was one of the best choices I ever made; or so I thought. It turned out that Duckett was innocent and I'd been part of a con. A conman being conned, that's irony for ya ain't it? Everyone does things they live to regret and I killed an innocent man with a wife and kids. Could anyone else live with that? I was certain I had the right guy, but I didn't and the guy that I wanted to kill is still home free. Plus, Frank's wife and kids will have to go through exactly what I did when my Dad killed himself and took my Mom with him. I did that, no-one else to blame.
Boarding that flight that rained on the parade even more. We crashed on a desert island and a whole heap of weird stuff happened to us. This place is crazy, I mean, what sort of a tropical island has polar bears? A load of people survive the crash, which is weird because it completely destroyed the plane; and if it can turn a plane into scrap metal how did flesh and bone make it out alive?
The crash may have something to do with all the wrong I've done in my life, the island might be hell. Good ol' Mr Clean reckons its fate; but I'm not so sure. I lost Cassidy through my own choice; I'm losing Kate through something I can't control. Then again, as someone once told me, it'll come back around. Whatever I've done…it's coming back around…
And there ends the fic! I will say now this didn't really end Jatey. Sawyer just thinks he's lost Kate but Jack does as well so they're both even. I hope it's better second time around, if not, I'm sorry I'm doing this in a hurry!
Please review ;)
