Chapter 2: The End Of The World

I don't show much
It's not that hard to hide you see in a moment
I cant remember how to be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love...
You want me to cry and play my part
I want you to sigh and fall apart
We want this like everyone else
Stay if you want to
I always wait to hear you say there's a last kiss
For all the times you run this way it's not my fault

The End Of the World By The Cure

"Help!" Claire yelled looking around wildly. "Please help me!" she cried holding her stomach.

"What's wrong?" asked rugged guy asked coming up to her, urgency was clear in his voice which made Claire panic all over again.

"I, I'm h-having contractions." she said taking a sharp breath. She let out a moan and held her stomach trying to get up.

"How far are you along?" the man asked her.

Claire shook her head a hand flying to her stomach protectively, "I'm only 8 months."

"How far apart are they?"

"I-I dunno they, they just started." she whimpered.

"Ok." he said looking around distractively.

"Hey! You! Come here!" Claire looked over to see the man that was late to get on the plane come over.

"Yeah?" he asked glancing down at her.

"Can you stay with her? Move her away from the fumes, and tell me when her contractions get to be 3 minutes."

"You have got to be kidding me." The large man said looking down at Claire.

"Listen, your going to be fine." The man said looking into her eyes.

Claire nodded as the large man went to stand by her. The man started to run towards a women laying in the sand and the large man yelled after him, "hey, dude, what's your name?"

"Jack!" He yelled back going over to the women.

Claire looked up at the man who sat beside her.

"I'm Hugo, but call me Hurley."

"Claire." she said smiling.

"So, pregnant?" Hurley said looking at her large stomach.

"Yeah, 8 months." Claire said rubbing her stomach as the pain lessened.

"How's your stomach?" Hurley asked still looking at her large stomach.

"I think it's stopped, false alarm, I guess."

"Move! Move her!"

Claire and Hurley looked up to see Jack running towards them yelling for them to move. They looked above them and saw one of the wings slowly coming off the plane and getting ready to fall right on them. They got up as fast as Claire's stomach aloud them and started running as far away as they could. Claire felt one of Jack's hands on her arm pulling her faster and she felt a sudden push making her fall forward landing in the soft sand.

"Stay with her!" Jack said to Hurley as Claire pushed herself up painfully.

"How are you?" Hurley asked looking at her stomach once again.

Claire laughed and nodded feeling around her stomach. "I think I'm good."

"Where's the father?" Hurley asked looking around the destruction on the beach.

Claire rubbed her stomach absently looking at the death all around her and shrugged. "I dunno, and frankly I don't care."

Hurley looked at her a little surprised at her answer or at her getting up but he slowly followed her as she walked away from the destruction and into the shade of the trees.

They sat there together watching everyone rush past them trying to find loved ones, or their stuff. Claire watched them sadly wishing she had come with someone she loved maybe her mom...or Charlie.

Claire raised her hand to knock on door 1673 then brought her hand down and turned around to walk back towards the elevator. She turned around with a swift move and knocked on the door, confidently. She took a deep breath as the door opened.

"Hey." he said surprised opening the door wider.

"Is this a bad time? Because if it is, then I can go?" Claire rambled staring at Charlie.

"Um, no, it's fine, the room's a bit of a mess though but..." he trailed off looking at her fidgeting with her hair. "Are you ok? You look a little...pale." Charlie said looking at her as she touched her cheek to make sure her hair still covered it. "Why–?"

"I'm fine, I just wanted something to do tonight, nothing to do, you know? Have you ever had one of those days?" Claire asked laughing still playing with her hair.

Charlie looked at her a minute not sure what to say bu stepped back to allow her to come in. "How are you?" he asked as they walked into his hotel room, which was really a mess as Claire looked at it.

"Fine, I'm fine, just...bored." she said sighing and going over to a couch covered with empty chip bags.

Charlie looked at her and nodded, "so you decided to call up the bassist and see what he was doing?" he asked jokingly.

She laughed and nodded, "something like that. Just wanted to see if you were busy and if you were enjoying Australia."

"Hm." he said digging in the little fridge to find something to drink. "I like it, granted I've only been here a week, and I haven't really left my hotel room unless for a show, but I'd like to see more of it."

Claire smiled at his back touching her hair softly to make sure it was still covering what Thomas did. Claire sighed at the memory of earlier.

She couldn't even remember why he hit her, it all happened so fast. She knew it was about Charlie though, she didn't know why because she barely knew him, but when she ran out of the house after he hit her she took the little piece of paper Fred had written down for Thomas out of her purse and went over to Charlie's hotel. She didn't know why for this either but she figured he could cheer her up, he seemed like a fun guy, and she wanted to do something tonight without Thomas hitting her all the time.

"I have beer, coke, and vodka, do you have a preference?" Charlie asked emerging from the little fridge.

"Um coke I guess, I have to drive."

Charlie nodded and handed her the can. "So, Claire, this is a surprise how'd you get my number anyway?"

Claire blushed as he sat down beside her. "I well, Fred wrote it down for Thomas and I wanted to see you again so I took it." she said still blushing.

Charlie laughed and took a drink of his beer. "Ok then, if you have to resort to stealing to see me do you want to do something?"

Claire paused thinking, "Actually yeah, you said you haven't see Australia that much, do you want to go somewhere?"

Charlie nodded, "sure, a native showing me the land would be fun."

"Good." Claire said standing up and heading towards the door.

"Now?" Charlie asked surprised.

"Of course! Hurry up, I don't know how long it'll be open." she said smiling as he stood up.

"Ok, ok, I'm coming." he said smirking at her as she held the door open for him.

He grabbed a coat and his hotel key as she whined for him to hurry up.

"Where's Thomas by the way?" Charlie asked as they walked toward the elevator.

Claire shrugged as she pushed the button, "I have no idea." she answered as the elevator doors swung open.

After the fires burnt out and the dead were washed away into the ocean or wasting away on the airplane Hurley went over to find some food. She sat their alone looking around at everyone, and their confused faces.

She saw an Asian couple arguing and a couple yelling at each other. She saw the man, Jack, with a brown haired women talking to each other and she saw a middle eastern looking man sitting by himself She sighed and stretched out trying to get as comfortable as she could with her stomach in the way.

Jack came over a little while later to ask how she was with a brown haired girl, who Claire now knew as Kate. Claire decided to get up after they left and go for a walk.

She found herself standing in the ocean, her shoes off, rubbing her stomach absently, watching for a boat. She looked off into the distance seeing the sunset, it was beautiful, a sunset on a beach, how romantic. Claire sighed as she realized she had no one she knew to share the romance with.

As the sun went down and people started making fires Claire realized she should probably find some where to stay the night. She looked around at everyone else on the beach and saw people getting ready to stay the night.

Dusk had fallen and Claire went to find some wreckage to use as shelter. Eventually she found some seats from the plane and made a little bed out of it, she tried it out and realized she probably wouldn't sleep well tonight.

As darkness set in Claire went over to sit by the large fire that had been made, she was getting cold as it got darker.

"Hey."

She looked up to see Hurley standing over her with some tin foil.

"Hey." she said smiling.

"How are you? Anymore stomach problems? Are you hungry?"

She shook her head rubbing her stomach as if to make sure. "No. But I am starved."

"Well, here."

She smiled taking the airplane food. He started to leave but turned back to give her another one and a fork package.

"Thanks." she said gratefully. She sat their alone eating her airplane meal by the fire wondering when rescue would come. She looked around at the other passengers realizing that if rescue never came one of them would be delivering her baby. She shuddered at the thought, she barely knew these people. She ran a tired hand through her hair then brushed it over to open wound on her chin. She didn't want to stay here for long, even if it was beautiful, she wanted to get back to Australia even if she didn't have anyone there either.

As it became darker and darker and Claire finished with her two meals she sat staring at the fire when she felt the log next to her move. She looked over to see who had moved it when she saw a very familiar hoodie and chipped black nail polish hands, with the one word FATE on it. She took a sharp intake of breath in and stared at the person his head down.

"W-W." she started still staring at him in amazement. "Charlie?" she whispered.

He looked up at her confused for a minute then his eyes turning as big as saucers. "Claire?" he asked his voice quiet.

As they stared at each other a loud noise came from the jungle jerking them out of their reunion. The noise came again and Claire along with Charlie stood up staring at the jungle as the noise came again.

"Did anyone see that?" Claire asked as everyone looked at the jungle not knowing to be scared by the noise of scared of Charlie being on the island with her.

"I did." someone said.

But Claire didn't hear as she was too busy going over the fact that Charlie was on the island with her. She now knew someone, but how long would it take before she wanted him off the island?
