So this is a long and I have to say some what boring chapter!! Sorry for the delay!!!

Thank you sooo much for the great reviews

P.S The sentences in bold are thoughts.

"Claire, did you see Jack???" Kate asked. She'd been looking for him since her terrible conversation with Juliet. She knew that she shouldn't doubt Jack because of someone like Juliet who had just proved that she would do anything to have Jack.

Kate felt heart broken when she realized that the one person she met in such a long time that could easily become her best friend was just like the millions of people she met when she became successful and she knew that those people would keep coming but the fact that Jack was one of them was a little too much to take.

Just trying to use her and throw her aside when he was done.

Oh come on Kate Jack would never do anything like that to you. He's your friend remember???

"Yeah he and those two maneaters left sometime ago…Didn't he say tell you he was leaving????"

"No." The nagging feeling was starting to come back.

"Kate, don't worry about it. The manager at the gate said that the woman with him was pretty wasted…If I didn't know any better I'd say that Sarah and Juliet made sure to it that he didn't get to talk to you before leaving."

See Kate you were worrying unnecessarily!!! He didn't do it on purpose!!!

"Okay thanks Claire!!!"

Kate just hoped and prayed to god that Claire was right because if she wasn't and Jack really was one of those people…Kate wasn't sure she would be able to take it.

Jack would never sell me out.

Just as Kate managed to convince herself her cell phone rang. She squinted at the unknown number and picked it up.

"Hey Jack you know what I just realized??? I've seen Kate somewhere before…you want to know where???"

Jack looked at Juliet and tried to keep his face neutral but his insides were screaming.

"Of course you've seen her before Juliet!! She's a super model for god's sake!"Jack said and laid back on the bed again as if nothing happened.

"No…I mean I've seen her before up close." She said with a grin.

Jack looked her in the eye with all the confidence in the world; there's was no way in hell he'd let her win.

"Where the hell did you ever see her up close before today???"

Juliet stopped grinning and started to approach the bed. It was really beginning to annoy her that Jack wasn't ready to admit that, that woman at the door the other day was in fact Kate.

Jack immediately sat up when Juliet came and sat down on Sarah's side of the bed. She ran her hand down his arm which made him shiver.

"Oh really??? Doesn't she look an awful like the woman I saw the day I came here???"

Jack simply shrugged his shoulders "What woman???"

Juliet was now getting really annoyed. She stopped moving her arm and painfully dug her finger nails in his arm while keeping a tight smile on her face. "Cut the crap Jack I know it was Kate!!! Apparently the bitch is no longer trying to seduce you!!! What do you think will happen when Sarah comes to know that her husband is having an affair with some slut???"

Juliet immediately took her hand away from Jack when she saw the rage in his eyes. "Don't you dare talk about Kate like that ever again do you get that!!! Not that it's any of your business but nothing ever happened between me and Kate and as for Sarah what do you think will happen when she finds out that the slut who's trying to seduce her husband is in fact her best friend!!!!"

When he was done with his little speech Jack wanted to jump on the bed for finally standing up to Juliet but she looked at him as if he'd just slapped her.

Clearly she never thought Jack would ever confront her. Juliet quickly recovered from her shock and put on a wounded look.

"Is that what you think about me Jack???? I'm a slut who's trying to seduce you??? I'm you're friend Jack I'm just looking out for you."

"Yeah right Juliet!!! Kate's been nothing but a helpful trustworthy friend and you're no one 'to look out' for me!!!"

"No one???? Jack I'm you're friend and I just want what's best for you!!! Remember how close we used to be Jack???What happened??"

"What happened was that you turned into a bitch Juliet!!!!You only cared about money and bragging rights." Jack yelled and got up from the bed.

"And Sarah cares about anything less???" Juliet shrieked.

"What the hell is your problem Juliet???"

"My problem is that even after being married to her for two years you still don't know your own wife!!!! Sarah doesn't love you Jack!!! She loves being Mrs. Dr Jack Shepherd!!! I just want you to see the truth and be with the one that truly loves you for who you are!!!"

"And who might that be Juliet??? You???"

"Yes Jack!!! You know I've always loved you!!! Everything was perfect until Sarah came into the picture!!! She broke us up!!!"

Jack let out a laugh. "Everything wasn't perfect Juliet!!! It was the exact opposite!!! And Sarah didn't break us up…you did!!!! Forget it Juliet…its over." Jack face softened a bit and Juliet saw this as a sign that Jack still did care about her.

"It's not over Jack…although you and Sarah will be." The way she said it wasn't very convincing, even to her.

"You can't break us Juliet no matter how hard you try." He said softly, he didn't care much about Juliet but he surely didn't enjoy seeing her so defeated.

Juliet looked up at Jack; grinning and looking anything but defeated. "What if I tell her about meeting Kate before??"

Jack looked at her with rage,"Leave Juliet."

Downstairs

"Well well Miss Austen don't you have a pretty little secret." Sarah said to herself with a devilish grin. She immediately took out her cell phone and searched for Kate's number (something that she had stolen from Jack's cell phone.)

It rang a few times before Kate answered.

"Hello." It sounded like it was a bad time. Perfect. Sarah thought.

"Hey Kate." Sarah said in an extra sweet voice.

Kate couldn't believe it. What the hell did Sarah want from her anyway?? But what pissed Kate off the most was that she sounded perfectly sober.

Maybe Claire was right after all. She grinned when she realized Jack ISN'T using me.

"Hey Sarah…so what's up???" she asked impatiently, obviously not interested in talking to her.

"Nothing…What's up with you???" she replied sweetly.

Kate looked at the phone incredulously. 'What's up with you???'What the hell is wrong with her?????

"Is there something you want Sarah???"

"No…can't a girl call up her best friend just to say hi???" she faked a hurt tone.

Wait a minute. Did she just say best friend????

"Excuse me???"

"What??? we are best friends right???" she asked innocently.

Kate didn't know whether to laugh at the situation or cry.

"Sarah an hour ago you didn't even acknowledge me at the party and now we're best friends???" Kate asked incredulously.

"Kate I have no idea what you're talking. I would never ignore my best friend."

Kate rolled her eyes at Sarah's terrible acting. "Sarah we're not best friends!!!!"

Sarah didn't say anything for a while and Kate thought that she hung up until she said something that crushed Kate completely. "Oh really???? Isn't attempting suicide and the fact that you're taking therapy sessions from my husband something you'd tell only your best friends???"

Kate was wrong. Jack would sell her out.

"Kate??? You still there???" She heard Sarah on the other end and was bought out of the trance.

Of course Jack was no different from everyone else!!! You're so stupid Kate!!!

Kate tried to keep her voice as calm and composed as possible. There's no way that she was going to give Sarah the satisfaction of knowing she'd hurt Kate.

"Yeah Sarah…I'm here."

"Like I said…attempting suicide and therapy is only something you'd share with your best friend…so we're best friends right???"

"What the hell do you want Sarah???"

"Just to meet my best friend for lunch tomorrow at the country club, say at one???"

Kate groaned at the thought of having lunch with Sarah and god forbid her dense friends. "I can't I have a photo shoot at one."

"Oh no problem!! You go to your photo shoot and I'll just call up E! and let them know you're recovering with the therapy very well!!!"

Kate started to massage her forehead. She really didn't need this right now.

"I'm serious Sarah I've a very important photo shoot today!!! I'm sorry it just can't happen!!!"

"Make it happen!!!" she said curtly and immediately hung up.

"Bitch!!"

"Whose was that????" Claire came up behind Kate.

"Claire I need you to cancel tomorrow's photo shoot-"Claire's eyes widened at what Kate just said and instantly cut her off.

"No way Kate!!! Fashion week starts day after tomorrow, we have a flight on that morning and this shoot has to happen before we leave!!!!"

"Claire if I don't have lunch with Sarah tomorrow then I won't have a fashion week to attend!!!"

"What do you mean???"

Kate looked at her helplessly. "Jack told Sarah everything- the suicide attempt, the therapy and probably a lot more and if I don't have lunch with Sarah today then she'll tell all of this to the media."

Claire couldn't believe what she was hearing. She would've never guessed that Jack would be capable of this. He seemed like a really nice guy.

"Okay you go have lunch and I'll arrange the photo shoot at one in the morning right before the flight…looks like you're not getting any sleep for the next twenty four hours."

"I'm used to it…"

Claire took a hold of Kate's hand and squeezed it. "I'm sorry for what happened with Jack, Kate. I know you really really liked him. I just can't believe he did that to you."

"That's the other thing I want you to do Claire."

"Anything Kate."

"I need you to fire Jack as my therapist."

The next day Jack woke up to the sound of his wife shrieking something on the phone. He groaned and put his head under the pillow. He heard the words 'Lunch', 'country club' and 'oh my god' which probably meant it was nothing important. Jack was close to dozing off again when Sarah barged into the room and started ransacking her closet violently while talking to herself.

"Sarah!!! Could you please keep it down????"

"Jack I have to find something great to wear!!! I'm having lunch with-"

"I don't care Sarah!!! Please let me sleep!!!!"

"Fine!!! I'll just go shopping with Juliet!!!"

Yeah right!! As if she wasn't going to do that anyway!!!

Kate dragged her feet out of the studio into the car. After the party ended at around five in the morning she had to run to shoot a commercial and then gave an interview and after all this torture she felt like crying when her three hours of sleep that Claire had promised was now replaced by a photo shoot which she was suppose to go now but instead she was going to get grilled by Sarah and her friends.

Life is so unfair.

"Kate???" Sun asked in the car but she didn't reply. She just kept staring out the window. Sun knew exactly what was wrong.

"Kate??? Are you okay???"

Kate finally looked at Sun and she could she Kate's eyes glistened with unshed tears. Sun was furious when Claire told her what happened and the two of them even thought about going there and giving him a piece of their mind but they knew it would only make things worse for Kate.

"I'm sorry for what happened-"she said softly and reached for her hand but Kate pulled it away and smiled at Sun.

"Don't worry!! It's my fault for trusting him! I'm such an idiot!!! Ten years in this industry and I still forget that you can't trust anyone!" Sun could see that Kate was trying hard not to break down and she quickly put on a pair of dark shades and got out of the car before Sun could say anything else.

Kate got out of the car and went straight through the doors towards the lawn where Sarah had reserved the table. She was going to finish this as soon as possible.

Kate didn't bother dressing up and just went in her white T-shirt, short denim skirt and she put her hair up in a pony tail which was still very curly from the interview. Kate thought she looked presentable but when she reached the restaurant she felt like she belonged to a homeless shelter.

On the table were at least forty impeccably dressed women. Kate stood and stared at what could only be described as a scene from the Stepford wives.

"Oh crap!" she whispered to herself and to her dismay the Stepford wives turned to look at her.

"Oh my god she's here!!!" said one and everyone turned around to look at Kate.

Kate's eyes then fell on Sarah who was grinning as she got up and went to hug her. "Kate!! I'm so glad you made it!!!" she said and when her she hugged her then whispered in Kate's ear. "Nice to see you made it Austen…"

Kate simply beamed back and hugged Sarah tightly in an attempt to strangle her as she smiled at the women behind her while Sarah tried to free herself.

Sarah finally pulled herself away with a fake smile and turned to the rest of the women. "Everyone I'd like you to meet by childhood best friend Katherine Austen!"

I swear to god if she calls me her best friend one more time I'll punch her!!!

Jack was sitting in the kitchen reading the paper when someone started banging on the front door.

"What the hell…Claire???" Jack said to the incredibly pissed off blonde.

"Jack…" she said curtly trying to control the urge to hit him.

"Is something wrong with Kate???" he asked in a concerned tone and Claire chuckled. Damn he's good!

"Stop it…I need Kate's file Jack."

Jack gave her a bemused look. Why the hell is she being so rude to me??? "What do you mean???"

Claire gave a frustrated sigh "Kate's file Jack!!! I took the one from the hospital and they told me you have a copy and I need that copy now!!!"

"Why Claire I'm her doctor I need that file incase of emergencies-"

"That's the thing Jack…you're not her doctor anymore."

"WHAT???"

"Yeah right as if we'd still let you be Kate's doctor after you told everything to Sarah??"

"I did what????" Jack yelled.

"Don't act innocent Jack!!! What has Kate ever done to you??? Why are you people so intent on hurting her???" Claire wasn't planning on saying anything to Jack but now it was too late and she was set on fighting on her friend's behalf.

"Claire what the hell are you saying?? I didn't say anything to anyone!!! I'd never hurt Kate!!!"

"Jack, please stop lying!!! Kate knows you told everything to Sarah and we just want her file before you decide to sell it to some tabloid!!!"

Jack couldn't believe it. Kate thought I was capable of something like this????

"Claire no!! I want to talk to Kate!!"

"Kate's busy today!!!"

"Well then tomorrow!!"

"No tomorrow she'll be in Paris!!!Jack just give me her file and forget you ever met Katherine Austen!!"

Forget Kate??? I've tried and it doesn't work!!!

"Wait a minute if she's going to Paris then she needs me to accompany her!! She just can't leave!!!"

"You're not her therapist anymore Jack…We've talked to the hospital and they've given her permission to leave…"

This can't be happening!!! She can't be leaving thinking I betrayed her!!!

"Claire please hear me out!!!" Jack looked at Claire with pleading eyes. "Please…"

Kate felt like she was giving the most intense interview of her life; Sarah's friends were the most intimidating and arrogant people she'd ever met and that was really something considering she was from the cut throat world of fashion.

She was constantly dragged to different tables around the restaurant and introduced to people as 'Sarah's best friend-Katherine Austen'. She couldn't take anymore of their stupid and not to mention ridiculous so called 'important issues' and wanted to laugh on their face when the answer to EVERYTHING was a cocktail party.

"We should have a dinner party tomorrow night!!! Katherine you'll be there right???" asked one of the women in a high pitched voice.

"Of course she'll be there!!! Right Kate???" Sarah said and put her arm around Kate's shoulders.

Kate glared at Sarah "No I've got to be in Paris for Fashion week." Sarah smiled at Kate.

"Fashion week huh??? Aren't you going to invite your best friend???" she raised her eyebrows at her.

What the hell is wrong with this woman?????

"Sarah I've got to go there for work I'm not going to let you get in the way…" she said in a low threatening voice.

"Whatever you say Kate but what would your designers say when they come to know that their top model was selfish enough to commit suicide without even thinking about them????" she whispered in Kate's ears.

"They won't say anything because they'll never know." Kate and Sarah turned to see Claire and Sun standing behind them.

"Come on Kate you don't need this, lets go!" Sun said and grabbed Kate's arm.

"Go??? No way you just got here!!!" Sarah hissed.

"She has work to do Sarah!!! She doesn't just sit and gossip like you!!!" Claire yelled and all the women at the table gasped.

"If you go Kate!!" Sarah threatened.

"Then what will you do Sarah??" Sun asked.

"I'll tell everyone about Kate's 'accident'"

"What accident???" Claire asked with a bemused expression. "Kate had an accident???"

"Don't play dumb with me!!! I have a file to prove it!!!"

"This file???" Sun asked holding up the folder.

For the first time that day Kate genuinely smiled because of Sarah's shaken expression.

"Forget it Sarah. Without this file no ones going to believe you." Claire said. "Come on Kate!!!"

In the car

"Oh my god!!! And they models are stupid!!!" Kate said as they got in but Claire and Sun looked uncomfortable... almost sorry about something.

"Guys what's wrong???"

Claire and Sun looked at one another and then at Kate and then Sun cleared her throat "Ah Kate we have to tell you something…it's about Jack."

"I don't want to know." Kate snapped.

"Kate it's important!" Claire said. She felt incredibly guilty after she'd given Jack a chance to defend himself and she knew he was telling the truth when she saw the rage in his eyes after she told him about Sarah black mailing Kate. In fact it was his idea to take the file and free Kate.

"Claire please!!! Now if I remember correctly I have a lot of work to do before we leave!!"

"Ah guys what exactly are we waiting for???" Charlie asked once they were all seated in Kate's private jet.

"I have no idea but Claire said we have to wait for someone…" Kate said after yawning. She was extremely exhausted after working continuously for two days and was desperately waiting for takeoff so that she could finally get some rest.

"Well waiting here isn't bad at all- you've got a bloody five star hotel suit in a plane."

"One of the perks of being a supermodel…" came a deep male voice.

Kate immediately recognized it and snapped her head to see Jack standing in front of her.

"What the hell are you doing here???"

Claire came in front of Jack "Kate let me explain!!"

"You knew about this???"

"Kate please let me explain…" Jack said softly. He was pretty hurt to see Kate talk to him with so much anger.

"No need…Claire what the hell is he doing here???"

"I'm sorry Kate but the hospital wasn't giving you permission to leave without him…"

"What???" Kate shrieked and Claire winked at Jack.

"Sorry Kate we don't have any other choice. He has to come with us." Claire went over and sat on the seat next to Charlie.

Kate groaned and moved head to face the window and Jack came and sat down next to her.

"Kate can I please…"

"It's Katherine let me make that very clear Dr. Shepherd and I don't want you to even utter a word to me!!! If its something important then talk to my secretary!!!" she said and returned to her window.

Jack chuckled at her childish behavior.
