Jack woke during the night and streched his cramped leg's. He suddenly wondered why he could stretch. Didn't Kate fall asleep on his chest ? He looked around and he couldn't see the girl's. He moved from the seat's and stood up. "Kate ?" he whispered. No answer. He heard voice's coming from the dimly light hall and he walked to the corner close enough to hear them. It was definatly them.
"I don't know how to tell him," Shannon sniffed.
"How did this happen ?" he heard Kate say.
"I don't know it just happened I guess," Shannon replied.
"Thing's don't just happen," Chloe hissed and Shannon burst into tear's.
"Who was he ?" Kate asked and Shannon stopped sobbing long enough to choke out one name.
"Charlie," Shannon sobbed her heart out. Jack heard a thud and peered round the corner. Chloe was lying on the ground possibly unconscience. Kate was kneeling beside her and after a few second's Chloe managed to stand up again. Using the wall for support she stood shakily.
"Charlie ?" she managed to get out. "Of all the friggin people you cheat on Sayid with Charlie ?" Jack stood stock still. He didn't know weather to kill Shannon or kill that slime ball Charlie.
"That's the thing. I don't remember it," Shannon sniffed. "I was in the bar on my first drink and Charlie came over. He said he wanted to apologise for his behaviour and he seemed so genuine. He told me he'd watch my drink while I went to the ladie's. I came back and he ordered me another so I chugged the rest of that one. Thing's get really hazy from there," she explained. "The next thing I wake up in a bed without my clothes."
Jack suddenly felt sick. Charlie wouldn't. He just wouldn't do that.
"Oh my God. You don't think he could have drugged you ?" asked Kate and Shannon gasped.
"Oh God no please. Please no. He wouldn't would he ?" Shannon sobbed and sank to her knee's.
Chloe leaned on the wall. "Shannon as much as I don't want to say it and as much as you don't want to hear it. I think you were raped sweetie," Chloe said softly and sank down to next to Shannon. Shannon burst into fresh flood's of tear's and she wasn't the only one. Jack, Kate and Chloe were sobbing with her. Knowing that her life could be ruined. That their old friend was a sick pervert and was never coming back. Also knowing that their live's were now officially screwed up. Jack decided to make his presence known. He stepped out and the girl's looked at him in alarm. Shannon relaxed when she saw that it wasn't Sayid.
"Jack how long have you been standing there ?" Kate asked him.
"Long enough," Jack said, wiping his tears away.
"Please don't tell anyone Jack," Shannon cried and Jack went to hug her.
"I'll keep my mouth shut," Jack said. Kate knealt down in front of them. She slipped her hand into Jack's before continuing.
"Shannon we need to go to the police," she said although she knew what the response would be.
"No !" Shannon said. "I can't."
"Why the hell not ?" Chloe asked.
"Because Sayid will know what happened," Shannon explained.
"Shannon what happened wasn't your fault. Sayid will know that," Jack said softly.
"I didn't ask for your advice now leave me alone," Shannon snapped and forced herself out of the hug they were in and stalked off to the waiting room.
"What are we gonna do guy's ?" asked Chloe and Jack and Kate sighed.
"I've no idea, but first I'm gonna kill Charlie Pace," Jack growled.
"Jack please don't go after Charlie. I know you wanna protect Shannon but you might make it worse sweetie," Kate said, placing her hand on his chest to calm him.
"Your right. I'll leave Charlie alone. Until we get Shannon to the police then I'll go strangle him with his own nervous system," he growled.
"Same here," Chloe said and they fell into silence.
They sat there for a good twenty minute's before Jack suggested they go back to sleep. The girls gladly agreed. Maybe thing's would look better in the morning.
A/N: Please don't kill me. Lovely angst was needed but don't worry. My writing will get cheerful again. D I didn't put this at the start of my story but it is dedicated to my brother Alan. May he rest in peace.
