I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself

In the head of this stranger in love
Holding on giving up
To another under faded setting sun

And I wonder where I am...
Could she run away with him?
So happy and so young
And I stare
As I sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love
Out of time letting go
In another world that spins around for fun

And I wonder where I am...
Could he ever ask her why?
So happy and so young
And I stare...but...

I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself

In the heart of this stranger in love
Giving up holding on
To this other under faded setting sun

And I'm not sure where I am...
Would he really turn away?
So happy and so young
And I stare
As I play out the passion of a stranger in love
Letting go of the time
In this other world that spins around for one

And I'm not sure where I am...
Would she know it was a lie?
So happy and so young
And I stare...but...

I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself

In the soul of this stranger in love
No control over one
To the other under faded setting sun

And I don't know where I am...
Should he beg her to forgive?
So happy and so young
And I stare...
As I live out the story of a stranger in love
Waking up going on
In the other world that spins around undone

And I don't know where I am...
Should she really say goodbye?
So happy and so young
And I stare...but...

I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself

I got lost in someone else

Lost By The Cure

Chapter 3: Lost

When the noise stopped Claire cast one last look over at Charlie then headed to her little shelter to try and get some sleep, but it seemed to took her hours until her eyes finally closed. All that was going through her head was that Charlie was there and the noises in the jungle. In the morning she was one of the few people up, she started to go through the wreckage to get more pieces for her shelter, finally she made a little place for herself which she was very proud of because she didn't need anyone's help, especially that British guy over there.

Slowly people started getting up and Claire went to sit down, her feet tired for being up for hours. She sat looking out at the ocean, thinking, until her reverie was crushed by the couple she saw earlier fighting.

When the guy left the girl just lay there as if it didn't bother her. "Is that your boyfriend?" Claire asked rubbing her stomach.

The girl looked at her then at her stomach. "No, just my brother, Boone, god's friggin gift to humanity."

Claire smiled at the other girl starting to feel very hot from sitting in the sun. She took her off-white shirt off and rubbed her stomach again. "I used to have a stomach." Claire said looking at her now basketball size stomach.

"Do you know what it is?"

Claire shook her head, "no, I haven't felt the baby move since yesterday." she added looking at her stomach sadly.

"I'm Shannon by the way." Shannon said squinting at her.

"Claire." Claire answered smiling.

After a few more minutes of sitting their Claire got up and headed into the jungle to go to the bathroom.

When she got back she went over to her airplane seat to try and get more comfortable. She succeed for a little while, writing in her journal wondering when someone would come for them when an Asian guy came over to her and started talking in Korean.

"Oh uh." she said as he offered her some fish. She shook her head at first then after he started rubbing his stomach and speaking Korean she took some. She ate it slowly rolling the fish around in her mouth and swallowed it. Immediately she felt a kick to her kidney.

"Oh god! He moved!" she yelled taking the Korean guys hand. "There do you feel that? That's a foot!" she said happily moving his hand all around her stomach as he yelled in Korean. He said something as she yelled happily finally letting go of his hand and looking down at her stomach.

"He? I guess I think you're a he." she said smiling rubbing her stomach.

Claire sat there for a little longer until the rain started and she went to the closest shelter she saw.

"There it is again." she said quietly looking into the jungle. Then she realized she hadn't seen Charlie since yesterday and she was glad. She didn't want to see him after everything he had done to her. She didn't need him nor anyone else. She took a deep breath and watched the rain as it poured down.

"What weird weather, wasn't it just sunny?" someone asked.

Claire nodded curling up to keep warm. After almost an hour of sitting in a cramped area and watching the rain Claire left to go to her shelter and look for some new clothes, but she realized all of her stuff was still on the plane.

She sighed and looked over towards a crowd that had gathered around the middle eastern guy and a blonde haired guy. Claire shook her head at the spectacle and was reminded of middle school fights where everyone egged everyone else on when they fought. She saw Jack, Kate, and Charlie emerge out of the jungle then and Claire felt despite herself a feeling of relief to see him again. She heard Jack yelling at them then announce they found a transceiver.

After Jack's little speech everyone left and Claire decided to go where all of the luggage was to get her stuff out of the mass of suitcases that were open on the beach. She found both of her suitcases and struggled to get them across the beach to her shelter.

"Hey."

Claire looked over towards the English voice that haunted her dreams, when she slept that is.

"So, wow, your pregnant." he said eyeing her. She glared at him,

"what do you want, Charlie?"

"Just to talk, Claire." he said pushing a wheelchair over to her. "This persons probably better off then we are." he said smiling at her.

She stopped trying to pull her suitcase and looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Charlie, what do you want?"

He looked at her then down at her belly. "How's Thomas? He on the plane with you?" he asked his voice serious, for once.

She shook her head. "No, modern, right? Young single mother, father ditched." She said crossing her arms.

"I just came over to help, Claire, you look like you needed some." he said quietly.

"I'm fine Charlie I've been alone this far I don't need anyone's help." she said stubbornly.

He shook his head. "How many times do I have to say sorry, Claire?" he said looking in her eyes begging her for forgiveness.

"Until you mean it." she said angrily pulling her suitcases along as Charlie stood on the beach watching her. She went back to her shelter and sat her stuff down.

Her eyes betrayed her by crying, after she swore 5 months ago she'd never cry over Charlie Pace again, but she did, and she was.

"What is this place?"

"Well, I just figured the Rock God could have a break and listen to other people for awhile." Claire said smiling at Charlie.

Charlie looked around the large pub and smiled. All different kids of records were on the walls and there was a door which had bead curtains on it. The door lead to a music store which Claire swore had everything.

"Whose playing tonight?"

"A group called RSVP. They are pretty popular in our area." she said happily as everyone bustled around her. "I used to come to this place all the time..." she said trailing off.

Charlie looked down at her and smiled. "Your cute when you do that."

She blushed. "What?"

"Never mind, so lets go see that record store."

She nodded and they headed towards the record store. Claire went over to the clearance section looking for anything she didn't have and could afford and Charlie went over to the rock section.

After almost an hour of looking through music Charlie came over to her holding about 10 CDs.

"I didn't even think they had this cd anymore! I thought they were all sold out." Charlie said happily showing her the cd. "What did you get?" Charlie asked looking at her 2 cds.

"Oh, well, my mom's birthday is soon so I bought her a CD, and this one is for me." Claire said holding up The Cures Greatest hits.

"You're a Cure fan?" Charlie asked surprised.

Claire nodded and smiled. "Yeah, they've been my favorite band since I can remember."

"Why?" Charlie asked curiously.

Claire shrugged looking down at the CD cover, smiling. "It...helped me with some...stuff." Claire muttered taking her eyes off the cover and looking towards the cashier. "Let's pay shall we." she said smiling slightly.

"Ok." Charlie said glancing at her.

"Ok." she replied back going to stand in the short line.

Charlie glanced at her again when she was staring straight ahead. He couldn't help but feel for her, she looked so lost sometimes, and other times so happy. She had so many different layers he just couldn't help wanting to get lost in her. He sighed as they came up to pay she went for her purse but he put a hand on her arm to stop her.

"I got it." he said smiling.

She smiled back, "thank you."

"No problem, just remember you owe me, so we'll have to do this again sometime, deal?"

Claire nodded her cheeks turning red. "Deal."

"Next time I choose though." Claire rolled her eyes but nodded.

"How do you even know any places, here? You're a tourist here, remember?"

Charlie laughed, "I know a few places."

Claire nodded in a way that said she didn't believe him.

"I do!" Charlie said as they walked out of the store. "Do you wanna stay for a drink?" Charlie asked gesturing to the bar.

Claire checked her watch and looked like she was about to say no.

"please, Claire, just one drink? You seemed to really like this place and we can hear that band." Charlie begged her.

Claire laughed but nodded. "One drink, Thomas is probably worried."

Charlie glanced at her when she said her boyfriends name. "Oh. Right, I forgot about him."

Claire looked down at the ground, "yeah, so did I for a few minutes." she said so quietly Charlie didn't even think he heard her correctly.

"What's the deal with you and—"

"Can I have the cheapest beer you have?" Claire interrupted telling the bartender her drink order. He nodded and went to get her order. She started digging in her purse for money again and when he came back she gave it to him.

Charlie waved him off when the bartender looked at him then he turned to Claire.

She sensed he was going to ask her about something she didn't want to talk about, again, like Thomas, and she gulped her drink down in a record time.

"I have to go."

"Wait!" Charlie said as she stood up to head out the door.

"I'll see you later!" She called over the music that had started. Charlie watched her go as RSVP came on and he couldn't help but notice the bruise on the back of her neck.

That night as Claire was getting ready for bed and everyone around her was putting their fires out she had a visitor.

"Claire?"

Claire looked up from brushing her hair and sighed. "What do you want Charlie?"

He semi-smiled at her and sat down on the floor of her tent. "I just want to talk, Claire."

"Yeah, you said that earlier." Claire said bitterly.

"Listen, I know that if you had to be stuck on a desert island with anyone it wouldn't be me but could you just...listen." Charlie begged.

Claire sighed and rubbed her eyes. "You have 5 minutes, Charlie."

"Ok. Well, I know what I did hurt you if more ways then one, but...Claire, I...I." Charlie took a deep breath and looked into Claire blue eyes. "I just...I still care about you, and I don't want anything to happen to you on this island."

Claire rolled her eyes. "What's going to happen to me? Am I going to be eaten my the monster in the jungle?" Claire said sarcastically.

Charlie stared at her, "don't say that."

Claire rolled her eyes. "Charlie, I don't need a knight in shining armor, as a matter of fact I don't need anyone taking care of me. I'm not your damsel in distress Charlie Pace, so just leave me the hell alone." Claire yelled glaring at him.

"Claire—" Charlie said reaching a hand out to her.

"No!" Claire yelled. "Leave me alone!" she screeched.

"Claire—"

"get out! Get Out! GET OUT!" Claire screamed.

Charlie looked at her but stood up and walked out of her tent. She watched him go and squeezed her eyes shut to make sure the tears wouldn't come. But they did for the second time that day, and for the same reason.

What was she going to do? They were lost in the middle of the ocean on an island, and they may not be rescued.

What were they going to do?

"where have you been?" Thomas yelled when she got home.

"I went to get a few CDs." Claire muttered putting her stuff on the kitchen table.

"With who?" he screamed.

"A friend."

"Who?"

"Charlie, remember?"

Thomas glared at her then went to the bedroom.

Claire breathed relief washing over her that he hadn't been drinking that much. She took her cd out and smiled at the cover remembering her whole night. She went to go get her cd player and was about to put the cd in when Thomas came out of the bedroom.

"Did you have fun with him?" he spit taking her cd out of her hands.

She screamed at him to stop but he through the cd case against the wall and it broke shattering into a million plastic pieces. He hit her across the cheek making her stumble a bit and took the cd and snapped it as if it was a stick.

"I'll be out with some friends." he yelled as he left the apartment.

He left her nursing her bruised cheek and trying to pick the pieces of the CD up.

"Yeah I did." she whispered answering his question. She had, had fun with Charlie a lot of fun, and now she would have nothing to remember him by when he left her to go back to England.

She sighed as she felt the pain go away and she went over to the trash bin to through the broken pieces of the cd and the case away. But something stopped her right before she let her hands separate and the pieces go into the trash. She put the pieces back into the bag and took her cd player out again and looked to make sure a cd was actually in there, it happened to be another Cure cd.

She pressed play and lay down on the couch. She let the words wash over her and the music embrace her with love and she let herself remember her night with Charlie Pace.
