HEy! I think I only got one review :(
I really hope you enjoy this chapter! more cheery, i hope!
Liam came back to Jack's house shortly after his last visit.
"What is the location of this island?"
Jack laughed.
"I'm serious."
He shook his head and continued laughing.
"Answer me in words not in petty laughter."
"You're asking me to transport you to hell: firstly, the location of this island changed somehow so I have no idea which universe it landed on and secondly, its torture. I've tried getting back though."
"Why would you want to get back to what you call torture?"
"Because… I feel sane there."
"I don't know what you're playing at here, but I want the sodding answer I came for."
"I can't tell you…" he searched for the right words, "where exactly the island is… but I can tell you how to get there."
Liam was confused. "Then tell me."
"Why would you want to go to the place you're brother died?"
"You told me my brother was in a relationship with Claire Littleton. She's lost. He'd want me to find her. That's what I'm going to do."
Jack was impressed about the way he cared for his brother. "All that have been on the island and survived have to be in one plane, and on that plane you can tag along."
Liam squinted his eyes in confusion, then reassured "So… I have to get the oceanic six in one plane."
"Not only the oceanic six… there's Sun's boy, Locke's corpse, Desmond and Frank Lapidus. I don't think Ben Linus is allowed back on the island," he muttered to himself.
"So if I collect these people…"
"Yes… but good luck convincing them. No force on this universe could convince them to go back there." He shuddered.
"You expect me to believe this!"
He nodded. "I'm up for it. If you don't believe me, that's the best answer I can give you."
Liam didn't care how insane he thought the situation was. He didn't want to take any risks. "Will you help me?"
"I've been trying to convince Kate to back to the island for months. She won't agree."
"If I convince her…"
"I'd be more than happy to help you," said Jack, jotting her address on a piece of paper and handing it to him.

Liam approached the door of Kate Austin, with flowers in his hand and rung the doorbell.
She opened a few seconds afterwards, with Aaron in her hands. "Can I help you?" she asked, not recognizing his face.
He shyly handed her the flowers and she took them thankfully when she realized that it was Liam Pace, the singer of many songs she listened to. She wondered about his purpose of knocking on her door. She welcomed him in after her recognition and gestured for him to sit down. His face brought painful memories of Charlie and therefore the island, in which she tried her best to ignore.
After Kate put the flowers in a vase and sat down across from him, he started: "I've been talking to Jack Sheperd…"
Before he could continue she rolled her eyes. She guessed that he was begging her forgiveness and sent Liam to do so. "So he sent you here to clean up his mess."
"No, no. I willingly came here," he said to her, not wanting to get involved with their personal problems. "He told me about," he paused, wondering about her reaction. He didn't want to break it her like that, so he asked. "Is my brother the father of Aaron?"
Her jaw dropped for a few seconds. Why would he ask such a question? He surely doesn't know about Claire. Does he? She looked at him straight in the eye and asked "What did Jack tell you?"
"Island," he said simply.
She sighed and answered. "No, he isn't, he but he is the closest thing to a father he has."
"Which makes me his uncle," he said, looking at Aaron in her arms.
She smiled slightly and gave Aaron to Liam. He was quite scared at first, but he then accepted and put Aaron on his lap, proud to have something Charlie treasured in his hands, which made him teary. He gave Aaron back to her, wiping his eyes. She was teary as well.
"If Aaron is what you came all the way here for, than I will be glad to trust you with him for a month. I understand he's your brother's son and you would want him."
He shook his head. "I can't handle a baby, and that's not what I came here for." He paused. "May I ask you a huge favor, Kate."
She nodded. "Name it."
"Come back to the island with me," he said quickly.
She shook her head quickly. "Anything but that!" She said in a sharp never-going-to-change-my-mind voice.
"Why not?"
"If you heard our story on the island, then you know very well why not!" she yelled.
"I don't understand why you wouldn't want to go back to those that have survived on the island and you would consider friends."
"Not even that would attract me back there. Please, don't try. You won't get anywhere."
"Kate, please!" he begged. "I'll give you any amount of money you could ask for."
"How dare you! I said not even those I love could attract me back there, so you think money will?"
He wiped a few tears from his eyes.
"Not even tears of the depressed brother of Charlie could attract me back there," he said, in tears as well.
He stood up and headed for Kate's kitchen. She followed.
"Where are you going?"
He began opening a few drawers until he found the knives. He picked one up and put it to his chest.
Kate gasped. She put Aaron on the floor and ran to snatch the knife from him.
He didn't let her. "The last time I saw Charlie, he was mad at me and his last words to me were sour. With him leaving this world and me having nothing to do about it afterwards means my life is pointless!"
"Where do I come into this?" She asked, in tears, still trying to snatch the knife from him.
"Jack told me that the only way to get back to this island is if all come with. I want to go to this island to make my brother happy when I find Claire, who could be hanging on for dear life as we speak!"
She tried to snatch away the knife again, she didn't succeed and had given up. She was crying so openly and said, "if you want to suicide, then suicide far from my house so I wouldn't have to take responsibility."
He stared at her in disbelief. He then put the knife on the table and charged for the door. Before he opened it, he turned to look at Aaron wiping away tears from his eyes and looked at the ceiling. "If you can hear me, bother, sorry, I couldn't do anything about Claire and I've tried my hardest. As for Aaron, I believe he's in very safe hands. I am unworthy… to be where you are now. But I will follow you into death." He smiled at Aaron, wiping a tear. He turned to leave and then continued, "I know that Kate was one of your friends and I know you cared for her, which is the only reason I haven't threatened her life," he turned to her once more to see her crying hard, "feeling guilty?" he asked and then left.
She didn't move for a few seconds, and then ran up and opened the door and called to him: "Wait!" He turned to her. "I'll go back…" she cried. He then walked back up to her and hugged her.
"Thank you!" he said sobbing, "You won't regret this, I promise!"
She wiped away her last tears with his shirt and then asked him to come back inside. He nodded and did so.
After a few minutes of silence, Kate said: "So what now?"
"I'll have to convince the others to come too."
"What makes you think that they'll agree?"
"Nothing. They can't possibly be harder to convince than you," he joked, she laughed. "I'm going to call Jack," he said taking out his phone, and no objection came from Kate.
Jack answered and said, "How badly did you fail?"
"Very funny, she agreed."
"Liar!"
"I swear."
"Liar."
"Talk to her, she's right next to me," he gave her the phone and she accepted.
"Kate, is it true?" asked Jack.
"Yes," she said.
"Were you crying?" he asked, noticing.
"No," she lied.
"Does he have a gun to your head?"
"No! He has powers of persuasion. Yes I did agree to go back there," she reassured and handed Liam back the phone before Jack could reply.
"So," asked Liam, "You promised to help me. I did my part."
"Fine. But if you harmed one hair on her head, I'll kill you."
"I understand. I'll come tomorrow and tell me what I have to do."
"Okay," said Jack and then closed the phone.
