Anyways. I'm doing the last chapter tomorrow, cause I though it was a good place to end it, like :) R&R!!

About Ana

"Get up." Shannon grinned, pulling the cover off Kate and opening the curtains.

"S'matter?" She mumbled, brushing the sleep out of her eyes. "S'too early…"

"Its half twelve… come on, your coming out."

"What? No Shannon… I'm tired, I still feel sick-."

"You always feel sick, you've not thrown up for, what- three hours? Your fine… come on." Kate groaned and sat up, raking the hair out of her eyes. "Come on…"

"Shannon…"

"C'mon! We're going out for lunch."

"I'm not hungry…"

"You can drink water." She said cheerfully. Her hair was already straightened and glossed over, as was her makeup, her clothes pristine as she pulled Kate up out of bed with considerable force. "Up." Using all her strength, she steadied herself on the floor and padded over to the ensuite bathroom, scrubbing at her face with the damp wash cloth.

"Where we going?" She mumbled, leaning against the sink heavily.

"Just the Pink Lemonade." She smiled. Kate closed her eyes. The Pink Lemonade was a lovely café and all, everything was shades of bubblegum pink, sugar mandarin, and pastel lemon's, everything smelt like Sugary Raspberries, and while the music was cute, full of pop and dance tracks, right now Kate wanted complete silence and black duvets. She looked down at her clothes and grimaced. "Yeah, you can borrow some of mine."

"They'll be way too small, your tiny." Kate pointed out, still getting the worry in her stomach as she took in Shannon's waist and arms and-

"No they won't." She chuckled. "And if they are, you can wear the bigger size ones."

"Shannon…" She whined pathetically. "Pleaaaase!"

"No." She trilled. "Come on, I'll do your makeup." Shannon smiled and pulled her out the room, seating her down heavily on the stool in her bedroom and bringing out her makeup. "I'm looking for greens for you eyes, and lipgloss. Nothing else, yeah?" Kate shrugged and let Shannon twist open the bottles and fluff up the powders. She had absolutely no idea what the hell the difference was between Emerald Green and Grass Green, and didn't really care whether the mascara was three times the 'length' or three times the 'strength', and so let her friend choose. "There… beautiful."

"Thanks, I guess…" She sighed.

"C'mon. You need to pick out an outfit."

"Shannon…"

"Ok, I'll pick." She grinned. "These jeans… and this top…with this jacket."

"I want my hoodie." She said stubbornly.

"Its blue."

"That's pink." She pointed, looking at the skimpy jacket with distain.

"How can I work with you?" Shannon chuckled, ignoring Kate's attempts to pick a fight. "These, and this, and this…. With that."

By the end of the hour, Kate was showered, makeup-ed, brushed and dressed. All under Shannon guidance. Kate had secretly wiped the eyeshadow off, but whatever was on Shannon's mind was obviously keeping her occupied and she didn't realise. Kate brushed her hair back and crossed her legs, trying to keep out the chill as Shannon drooled over the menus.

"How many calories is that-." She began.

"It's a salad, Shan…" She sighed. "Get something hot, its freezing."

"Everything hot has calories."

"Shannon." Kate sighed. A young blonde waiter sidled up to them, her inch long fake nails tapping at her belt.

"Can I take your order?"

"Yeah." Kate cut in. "Two hot chocolates, two cheese toasties and…tomato soup."

" Kate! That cheese-."

"Is good for you." She smiled, as the waiter slunk away, leaving the two girls at the table. "So… whats the big plan?"

"What?" Shannon asked a little too quickly. "No plan. No… its … Sawyer." Kate looked down instantly, her hands going up to wrap round her shoulders.

"Why?… When."

"Any minute."

"Why have you gone as secret agent. Why didn'tcha just tell me?"

"Cause you would have freaked out, made yourself ill again, or refused to come."

"I wouldn't…."

"Har, har." Shannon said dryly, looking around for any sign of him. "No, he'll be here any minute."

"Right…" Kate's persona had changed completely, and she looked small again, her eyes cast to the floor. Once the food came, neither girls tucked in, although Kate kept the hot chocolate mug cupped in her hands for warmth, and Shannon didn't seem to be able to take her eyes of the cheese toasties.

"Hey Shan-." Sawyer's voice cut behind them. He looked dishevelled, his blonde hair more mussed than usual, his clothes rumpled and his face tired and unshaven. "Kate… didn't know you were gonna be here." Even Shannon flinched at his tone this time, it was more disappointed then anything.

"Yep." She smiled brightly, pulling Sawyer down to sit down at a chair. He folded his arms across his chest and watched Shannon pointedly, his eyes swivelling round to Kate. Sawyer was forcing himself not to, but it was so hard, and in the end gave up and asked her.

"You ok?" Kate nodded, but didn't look up, and he felt the guilt resurface. "Good…."

"We've got food." Shannon smiled. "Help yourself." Sawyer nodded, and picked up a toastie almost instinctively. He didn't eat it, but tore the crust up slightly between his fingers. "Well…" Shannon grinned, looking considerably guilty. "I'd better go. Catch you later, Kate."

"Wha-." Sawyer began, choking slightly. "Why-."

"Shan, I-." Kate tried, looking slightly wide eyed as she left the table and walked away. Sawyer gave Kate a half hearted smile, but it died away and they were left in quiet.

"So…you been stayin' at Shannon's…?"

"Yeah." She sighed, taking a sip of the hot chocolate, which was now more chilled than anything.

"Right… you talked to them?" Kate shook her head, then smiled slightly. How had she known he was talking about her mom and- her parents. "Right…" There was a longer pause, and Sawyer realised she wasn't going to say anything so stepped up himself. "What are you going ta do… y'know…when ya hafta go back?" The fear that flashed across his face cause him another pang of guilt, and he mentally kicked himself for bringing it up.

"Um… I'm not sure."

"Oh…" There was another painful silence in which Kate took another sip of chocolate and placed in back down, tracing the swirls on the tabletop with her fingers. "I never meant ta-…" He trailed off, trying to force the words out, but failing as Kate looked up expectantly. "Hurt ya." He finished softly, the sandwich now in crumbs on the tabletop.

"You didn't." She said flatly.

"No, I did…" He breathed. "I should have been there for ya, not like I was… I never meant ta make you cry."

"Never meant to make you cry." She whispered, looking down.

"I didn't." He snapped, causing her to bow her head further. "Sorry… it was just you bangin' on about damn Ana-Lulu and the- the letter… and I just overreacted kay?"

"Okay…" She echoed, clearly not.

"Liar." He said softly, licking his lips nervously and leaning forward over the table. "I jus' didn't know what ta do, ok? I can't do lookin' after people. I'd just screw it up, and hurt 'em more or somethin'…" He trailed off in embarrassment at the intimate detail he had just revealed.

"I didn't want you to look after me." Kate exclaimed sadly. "I just wanted you to hold me… and say it was ok… even if I shouted at you for doin' it." She added, almost grumpily. Sawyer chuckled slightly, and shook his head gently.

"I know… I jus' panicked…Come 'ere." He sighed, getting up from his chair, and wrapping his arms round her. "I'm sorry…"

"So am I." She smiled softly, letting him pull her closer as she pressed her face against his coat and closed her eyes. Jesus, she didn't realise how much she missed him in two damn days!

"Bu' Kate…" He sighed suddenly, putting her at arms length and looking her in the eyes. "About Ana…"

Dun dun duuuh:P
