Chapter 6

He was ignoring her.

It had been two days since his return and she still hadn't talked to him. She didn't actually know what to tell him just…something. Anything. But he was always so busy. Busy fixing someone's leg or head or toe. It was like everyone was against her. Like everyone knew that she wanted some time alone with him and did everything to prevent it from happening.

But apparently he didn't want to talk to her either. Cause if he wanted, he could find the time. Like he used to. He could sit next to her at night and look at the ocean without saying anything, he could ask her to help him with something or play golf with her. He could just say good morning or goodnight to her. But no. He didn't even do that anymore.

Something had changed. And she didn't know what.

She brought him fruit every morning. But all she got was a 'thank you'. Not even a look.

It was like he was mad at her. But for what? She had done everything he had asked her to do. Leave him behind and never come back. He couldn't blame her for that even if she blamed herself for everything. No. That was not it.

Maybe he really didn't have the time. Maybe he was planning on coming to talk to her but something always got in the way.

But she doubted it.

She also noticed the way he talked to Sawyer. He always was cold. Didn't reply to his nasty remarks. He just told him what he wanted to and was on his merry way. He even looked at him with difficulty.

Noticing that Kate thought of the possibility that Jack had learned about her and Sawyer. That somebody had told him. But if he knew he would have come to confront her. Wouldn't he?

She didn't know what to think any more. At first she was confused. Then she got angry. And now she was furious. What the hell was wrong with him?

The third day of his return she decided to go and demand for some answers. Even if he was surrounded by forty people.

She looked for him all over but she couldn't find him.

"Hey Sayid!" she yelled.

"Hey Kate, is anything wrong?"he asked.

"No everything is fine. Do you know where Jack is?"

"Emm actually yeah… I saw him chopping wood over there" he said and pointed her the direction.

"Thanks" she smiled at him.

She was walking for about ten minutes through the jungle when she heard him. He was breathing hard. He was obviously exhausted. She walked closer until she saw him. God she had missed him.

"Hey" she said looking at him and smiling.

He turned to look at her, surprised. It was the first time he had looked at her straight in the eyes since his return. His eyes showed weariness.

He looked at her for a minute and then he replied:" hey"

And he returned to his work.

She didn't say anything. She just waited to see where this was going. It was obvious that it wasn't gonna end up good but she wasn't gonna quit that easily. No. She was going to make him talk to her.

"How have you been?" she asked.

This time he didn't even turn around to look at her when he said:" good."

He just kept chopping wood.

But it was now or never.

"Okay Jack what the hell is going on?" she asked tired of playing games.

"Sorry?" he continued not to look at her.

"I said what the hell is going on?" she repeated getting frustrating with him.

"I don't really understand what you're talking about" he replied.

God he was so annoying.

"Will you just look at me for a second?" she yelled at him making jump in surprise.

He was now facing her, looking at her like she was just wasting his time.

"What the hell is wrong with you? She asked again.

"Nothing is wrong with me, Kate, and I don't get why you are so angry at me. I'm just chopping wood" he said looking at her ridiculously.

"I'm angry at you because the last two days you've been avoiding me and I don't even know why." She said still with a loud voice.

"I'm not avoiding you Kate, I've just been busy. What can I say, I'm a busy man." He said with a laugh.

"Like hell you are!!!" she yelled at him. "What did I do wrong Jack? What is it this time?

"Kate I really don't have time for th…

"Is it because I left you behind?"

"No Kate." He replied with a sigh. "You did what I asked you to do. I don't blame you"

"Then what is it???" she yelled. "Jesus Jack what did I ever do to deserve this?"

He didn't say anything. Just stared at her. Looking at her like he was saying "think harder".

And she did. And that's when she realized. He knew. He knew about her and Sawyer.

She froze. Tears started forming in her eyes. God no. Not this.

"Ho…Who..,Whe…I'm…I didn't…" she swallowed hard.

"Hey" he told her firmly. "No need to feel guilty. It's not like there was something between us. So no worries."

With that he turned around and started chopping wood again.

"How did you find out?" she asked him with trembling voice and tears finally running down her face.

He sighed but didn't turn around.

"Camera. I must admit I thought you were smarter than this. I mean screwing around in an open cage isn't exactly the most brilliant thing to do…but don't worry" he said and finally turned to look at her.

"I only saw you after the whole thing, so no need to be embarrassed." He said smiling ironically at her with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

She was now crying. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She didn't know what to tell him. How to explain to him that it meant nothing. And that she was so sorry that she couldn't verbalize it.

"Jack I didn't…"

"Don't" he cut her off firmly. "Just don't."

"But I need to…"

"No Kate. You don't need to tell me anything. It's not like you were cheating on me. There wasn't and there isn't anything between us.

"Isn't there Jack?" she asked him trying to understand what he was feeling. Was it jealousy? Was it pain? Or was it just ignorance?

"No Kate there isn't" he replied to her looking at her straight in the eyes that were full of tears. "So now if you'll excuse me I must go back t…"

"So why did you do it?" she asked determined to make him admit his feelings.

"Do what?"

"Why did you sacrifice your life to save mine and Sawyer's? Why did you do it if there wasn't anything between us? Why are so angry at me for sleeping with Sawyer? Why??? She was literally screaming now.

"It doesn't matter Kate."

"Why???"

"It doesn't matter."

"Why not?"she screamed at him.

"Because you made your choice," he said looking at her," and I've made mine.

She stared at him finally realizing that he wasn't mad. He was hurt. Hurt by her. And that was killing her.

"What if I chose wrong?" she asked with tears running non-stop down her face.

"Then you're gonna have to live with that." He replied in the verge of tears.

With that he picked up the axe, turned around and started walking away from her.

"I'm sorry!!!" she yelled now sobbing.

He turned to look at her.

"I'm sorry!!! She said again.

Silently preying for him to forgive her. To understand her.

But he couldn't.

"I know Kate." He said smiling. "You're always sorry."

With that he turned around and left.

What do you think? If you didn't understand something, cause you see I'm not that good at describing situations, just ask me about it. And don't hesitate to tell me to stop if you hate it…
