Kate was stunned with horror. She was glad to hear that Jack was okay but what about Sawyer? She felt so weak. Kate wanted to say something but she couldn't. She wanted to hit him but she knew it would be useless. She wanted to run away but there was no exit.

Everybody thought that she didn't care about nothing or nobody but herself. They were wrong. She had never been so worried about anybody in her life.

"You don't seem to be happy about your friend at all! "

Tom looked at her and smiled ironically.

Kate was angry but she also felt twinges of guilt.

"How is he? " –she asked.

"Jack is okay. Well he couldn't get to sleep the previous night but he is doing fine! "

"Not him! How is Sawyer? "-Kate said with no doubt.

She felt guilty and she hung down her head with shame.

While kissing Sawyer she felt guilty, too.

Kate was disappointed with Sawyer but she still loved him. She suddenly pulled her head back. Kate was looking at him and couldn't say anything.

She was confused. She wanted to stay but that was impossible.

He had to say only one word and maybe she would have been willing to stay. He didn't. She wouldn't let anybody swallow her pride.

Kate knew that she had to leave…

She started walking slowly but confidently.

Kate had at least 100 reasons to hate Sawyer but in defiance of everything she loved him. It seemed like he hadn't figured that out yet.

She was on the brink of tears. She felt hurt but most of all she felt alone.

Sawyer didn't say anything to stop her. Maybe one "sorry" would have made her stay but "sorry" didn't suit him. And they both knew it. That was Sawyer' s way to admit he had done wrong.

He looked around. It wasn't raining anymore. Sawyer started walking towards the beach.

"Okay! Let's get this straight!"- Sawyer said to himself. He was angry and annoyed.

He wanted to find Jack as soon as possible. It didn't take him a lot of time to find the one he was looking for.

Jack had come into notice since they successfully managed to escape from the Others.

Sawyer found him talking to some people. Sawyer reached him and explained that he wanted to talk to him.

Jack wasn't surprised.

"You can really keep a secret! Came by to thank you! "–said Sawyer with some irony though he was furious.

"Look, I had to tell her!"

Jack was unsuccessfully trying to find an excuse.

"Yeah, you're the hero, you can't lie. Well if you can't keep a secret maybe you also told Kate that I love her! "

Sawyer felt like he was about to win that fight.

Jack was standing there speechless.

"No, I' m probably crazy…He was unconscious when he told me that. Where did he find out about it?"

Jack was getting very nervous.

"Oh, right. You just figured out I haven't told you that yet. Well, let's make it clear- I love her. I think you'd better know it!"

Sawyer made Jack feel really uncomfortable.

He could almost taste it. He was really about to win that fight and he managed to do it.

Jack looked at Sawyer scornfully.

Sawyer didn't pay attention to him. He was supposed to be defeated. He wasn't.

He was the winner.
