Chapter 7 Just One Kiss

I remember the time that you rained all night
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank
But nobody opened their eyes

Remember that time that the trees fell down
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead
But nobody woke up at all

Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss

Remember the time that the sky went black
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the taste of the raging sea
But nobody held out their hands

Somebody died for this
Somebody died
For just one kiss

Just one kiss
Just one kiss

Just One Kiss By The Cure

Claire was having the worst time trying to come up with an excuse as to why she was moving half way across the world to, America.

LA exactly.

Charlie had asked her a month ago and he was coming back to Australia to get her next week and still she hadn't broken up or thought of an excuse as to why she was moving to LA with a man who wasn't Thomas.

But every time she saw Thomas she couldn't tell him, it was as if his presence made her not want to abandon him even though he hit her sometimes. She looked across the table at him and opened her mouth, now she thought to herself repeating the simple word in her mind at least 50 times before her mouth actually made a sound.

"Thomas." she started tucking some hair behind her ear.

He looked at her sharply and raised an eyebrow, "Claire?"

"Thomas, I uh...I'm leaving."

He stared at her for a few minutes and she wondered how he would react. She hoped, she prayed he wouldn't hit her.

"Ok." he said getting up silently.

"Ok? Is that ALL you have to say?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Where's the hitting and screaming?"

"I actually met someone else, too."

"What? Who!?" Claire yelled standing up.

She wanted to be the one to break up with him. Not that other way around! This was her moment! Not his!

"Sam."

"SAM! That's my best friend, Thomas! What the hell!?" Claire yelled placing her hands on her hips.

Not only was he doing what she wanted to do but with her best friend? NO! Absolutely not!

"Well, we got to talking a few months back and I really liked her Claire. If you weren't so blind you'd be able to see that this was a good change for us, we both met different people." He said reasonably.

Claire stared at him for a few minutes. "Different people?"

"I'm not an idiot, Claire, I know you were seeing that druggie, Charlie. It's not like you were going on a business trip or anything you work at the damn Fish N Fry not a fantastic company."

Claire continued to stare at him wondering if what she was hearing was really what she was hearing. "So we're breaking up?" she whispered wondering if any tears would come.

"Yeah, we both met different people, now, when are you leaving? Cause now would be great! I was planning on having Sam over so we can—"

"not now! I leave next week."

"Then get out now! We're broken up Claire I don't think it'd be fair if our others found us in bed together." Thomas said with a smirk.

"No...but I have—"

"good it's settled. You have 2 hours to get out."

"Thomas!" Claire shrieked, "I can't do that! I have plans and—"

"Claire leave!" Thomas yelled finally losing his cool.

Claire felt herself shrink away from him and almost crawl into a ball.

"Claire, I asked you nicely the first time, now get out!" Thomas yelled walking towards her.

Claire backed away trying to act bravely until his hand made contact with her skin.

Claire cried uncontrollably. She just couldn't stop, someone had just attacked her twice in a matter of two nights. She didn't understand how someone could want to hurt her or her baby.

What was the matter with these people?

Someone on this island was attacking her.

Someone they still hadn't caught yet.

She looked over at Jack and Michael talking quietly with Charlie who looked shaken. Claire curled herself into a ball and tried to control the sobs that escaped her mouth.

So far it wasn't working.

Finally Charlie came over to her and handed her a blanket. When She didn't take it from him he wrapped it around her shoulders and sat beside her.

"I won't let anything get you, Claire, I'm here if you want to close your eyes." he said soothingly.

She hesitantly laid her head on his shoulder but didn't take the offer to close her eyes because whenever she closed them even if it was just for a second she saw herself being attacked again and again.

Finally the sun came up and Claire got off Charlie to go on a much needed walk. She couldn't stand everyone staring at her for any longer. Eventually she got tired and sat on a rock. She opened her bag and took her journal out. After awhile she heard someone behind her and she immediately closed the little book.

"Dear Diary, still on the bloody island. Today I swallowed a bug." Charlie said smiling down at her and offering her a cup of tea. "Just because we're on a deserted island doesn't mean we have to act like savages unlike these yanks." Charlie said sitting beside her. "How are you?"

Claire nodded, "fine."

"You know, Claire, I know that this all, this whole thing must be scary for you. Being pregnant and alone of this dreaded island, more scary for you then any of us because...well. Yeah." Charlie stumbled glancing down at her stomach.

Claire shifted uncomfortably and tried to avoid his eye.

"So, I was thinking that maybe we could start all over, you know, forget everything that happened on that other island or...3 and be friends, again. You know, how we used to be...and I'm thinking that you're going to need a friend soon, and a good one." Charlie said laughing hesitantly.

Claire finally looked at him and she opened her mouth.

"Just friends, nothing else. I don't want to pressure you or whatever." Charlie added on quickly upon seeing her face.

"Charlie..." Claire started not knowing what to say. She wanted to be his friend again, like how they were so long ago. But she wasn't sure if she could handle the roller coaster that was Charlie.

But she was really enjoying his company recently and maybe she did need a friend, or sorts. He was after all the only person she knew on this bloody island.

"That's ok." Charlie said getting up and walking away leaving a humiliated Claire sitting on a rock with a diary in one hand and a cup in the other.

She sat there awhile until someone was sent to get her to have her go see the doctor. She sat in front of him as he asked her multiple questions about health and what happened last night. Regular doctor questions nothing really special.

Claire couldn't help but notice though he had the same eyes as the man who had come to see her after the accident. The man who she later found out was her father. Claire shuddered at the thought of the man, and how Jack looked like him. That got her thinking, because she hadn't thought about the man in months years even. Though whenever she thought of her mother the man was present too. She shook her head to try and stay focused on Jack's question's and not on Jack's eyes.

Or the man.

"Ok, Claire, I am going to give you some of these pills. They wouldn't hurt you or the baby they're just going to keep you from—"

"What?" Claire asked her blue eyes widened. "You want to give me sleeping pills? You think I'm crazy don't you? Everyone thinks I'm crazy! It's just because I'm pregnant!" Claire yelled standing up.

Jack stared at her confused, "no Claire, these pills just—"

"no! No! I will not have you trying to drug me! I am not insane!" Claire yelled grabbing her bags and starting to walk away.

She ignored Charlie when he tried to say hi and she ignored Charlie yelling at Jack for her.

"Are you ready, love?" Charlie asked smiling at her.

Claire nodded happily and grabbed all of her bags from her hotel room.

"Are you sure that doesn't hurt?" Charlie asked gesturing to her face where a large bruise sat.

"oh, yeah, I just...fell."

Charlie looked about ready to roll his eyes at her excuse but instead said, "you know, we left him, there won't be anymore hitting, love." Charlie said hugging her.

Claire buried her head in his shoulder and smiled. "I know." she whispered.

"Good, now lets go."

Claire nodded and he helped her carry her bags downstairs to the car waiting for them. They drove to the airport not saying much to each other, Claire was too excited to talk. Entering the airport they checked their bags and went through security. Finally they were already for their flight, just one more hour and Claire would be living in LA with Charlie Pace.

"I'm so excited!" Claire gushed happily.

Charlie smiled at her, "wait till you see the house, it's amazing." Charlie said wrapping an arm around her.

Claire smiled snuggling closer to him, "thanks Charlie." she said quietly closing her eyes.

"For what?" Charlie asked surprised.

"Everything." she answered before his lips caught hers.

Claire smiled when she felt his lips capturing hers and she couldn't help the warm gushy feeling rolling around in her stomach. When Charlie pulled away and mumbled an apology all Claire could think about was his lips on her's again.

And again.

Oh yeah, she was defiantly excited to be living with Charlie Pace. If his kisses were half as good as...other things she'd be in bed everyday all day.

"Claire!" Charlie yelled running to catch up with the pregnant girl. "Claire! Claire! Wait a minute, let me talk to you!" Charlie yelled agitated.

"Go away Charlie!" Claire yelled when Charlie finally caught up with her.

"No, Claire! Would you wait a minute?!" Charlie yelled trying to catch his breath.

"No!" Claire yelled angrily. "I can't believe he gave me pills! I'm not insane! Someone attacked me!"

Charlie nodded still trying to catch his breath, "I know, love, and I believe you. You don't have to take those pills if you don't want to."

Claire let a sob escape, "it's just...everything! Everything is so complicated! I'll be do soon and then that will complicate things even more! I mean, no one's coming Charlie how are we going to deliver a baby on a bloody island!" Claire wailed. "And everyone thinks I'm insane I—Ah!"

Claire bent over holding her stomach. She moaned again and Charlie stared at her transfixed.

"Claire?" he asked afraid.

"Charlie, go get Jack!" Claire moaned clutching her stomach.

"No, no, I don't want to leave you alone! If I can quit drugs I can deliver a baby." Charlie said staring at her.

Claire shook her head and looked at him astonished. "Claire, I'm a drug addict, was a drug addict. I'm not anymore. I stopped."

"Charlie, go—Ah!" Claire groaned scrunching her face up. "Go get Jack!" she whimpered.

She held her stomach as she watched the Brit run through the jungle to get Jack. He came back fairly quickly and explained he had gotten a guy named Ethan.

"How are you?" he asked staring at her.

"Charlie...there's something I need to tell you." she said quietly still holding her stomach and completely ignoring the question.

"What is it?" Charlie asked a little afraid of the answer.

"The baby...it's yours." Claire whispered as Charlie stared at her his mouth semi open.

"I, what—?" he started to say when there was a voice behind them.

"Ethan, where's Jack?" Charlie asked confused when he saw Ethan alone.

"Hello, Claire." Ethan said in a creepy voice.

Charlie wrapped an arm around Claire not liking the way Ethan was looking at her.

"What do you want?" Claire asked afraid.

"I want you, of course." Ethan said advancing towards them. Charlie vowed to protect the women in front of him, even if his life depended on it, he would not let the mother of his child die.

No matter what.
