Looking around into the endless darkness, she shivvered.
There was nothing, exept herself and her feelings. Even though she made the decision a while ago now, her heart still didn't agree with what she was about to do.
He closed his eyes and breathed in the cold air.
There was nothing, exept himself and his feelings. Even though he made the decision a while ago now, his heart still didn't agree with what he was about to do.
As she was still stairing into the darkness, Kate started to move towards the beach. She had no idea of where he was so she just followed her intuïtion. As she arrived she saw Sawyer standing with his back towards the jungle – staring into the ocean.
He opened his eyes and felt a painfull vibe. As if he was about to end a life.
He turned around, and looking at her expression, he realised he somehow was ending a life.
Their life together.
She glanced down at the beach – trying to turn all of her emotions off, aldo she knew it was impossible for her to do at this point. Looking back up, she saw something in his eyes that she had never seen befor.
He looked at her, piercing her soul with his eyes. Burning his mark into her heart once again.
With a trembling voice – as if it was almost unnatural for him – he finally whispered:
"I'm sorry."
Her eyes changed – for a moment it seemed like her heart was taking over. Kiss him damned, it screamed. But her mind overwhelmed her almost right away and she knew there was no turning back from this point. He seemed to know it too.
"That doesn't change anything." she said.
"I know."
It was quiet for a while. They had somehow managed to turn back around, both facing the ocean this time. Kate looked down, and realised she was sinking. It was almost irronical how appropriate that was. She stood there..sinking. Sinking into the sand, and into her sorrow.
She moved her feet, lifting them out of the wet sand and taking a step backwards.
"I think we should.."
Sawyer seemed to know exactly what she was about to say.
"Yea." he said.
"I want you to know that.." her voice started shaking. She was on the verge of tears.
"Don't Freckles." he said "don't say it."
"Why?" she asked – suprised, shocked almost.
He looked into the ocean once again. The sound of the waves seemed to calm him, even if it was only for a second. Then he turned to her and gently brushed his hand over her hair.
"It'll only make it harder" he said.
He leaned in and placed his lips on hers. For a second they forgot what they just did.
It seemed like everything was perfect. Then the moment was over.
She looked down once again, seeing that no mather how hard she tried to avoid it, she was still sinking. She looked at him one last time, then turned around and walked into the jungle,
a tear rolling over her cheeks.
He followed her untill she dissapeared into the darkness.
He watched her leave.
