Hey guys-- ok, so this is the longest chapter i have ever written in my entire life.... be happy, my one reviewer... lol.

Sawyer was given a proper burial. Juliet hadn't even showed up. She was too busy crying and blaming herself for his death. All who tried to console her were told off.

Claire said a few words at his burial, also feeling guilty for what happened to him, as did Charlie. The three weeks following the burial were filled with grief and sorrow.

Charlie had fully recovered. Claire and Charlie had talked to each other in those three weeks. Claire told him about her father and how he gives Locke advice, Charlie secretly thought she was going crazy, but hadn't said it to her. She told him that she has to get back to her father soon, and after those three weeks, she disappeared.

Charlie was enraged and insisted in following her tracks.

"Leave her alone, dear," said Rose. "She told that she will leave, and according to that archeologist Charlotte, her tracks say that she left on her own."

"But she's crazy! She's seeing stuff. She said she sees her father telling Locke to move the bloody island and other impossible things. She might get herself killed if her mind keeps acting the way it does."

"Now, now, just because she's saying things that are impossible any where else on the world doesn't mean its impossible here. Miracles happen here."

"Whatever! I'm going after her," he stormed off into the jungle and was stopped by Juliet.

"Wait!" she yelled, "I'm coming with you. There is no way you're going alone while you have just recovered. You need a doctor with you, and I'm the closest thing to a doctor here," she said running to join him.

He didn't object and kept following Claire's tracks, with Juliet scurrying behind him.

After about an hour of walking Charlie was confused as to where the tracks are leading, so asked Juliet.

She analyzed them for a few seconds. "It looks like Claire trying to confuse us," said Juliet carefully following the tracks, which led in all different tracks. She turned to him, "I don't think Claire wants us to follow her."

"I'm sure that's not it. She probably just lost her way or something," he said thoughtfully, certain that Claire wouldn't object to him trying to lead her to safety.

"Whatever you say," said Juliet, making out the tracks carefully until they found a straight track again.

They walked for another half hour until her tracks led to a river.

"She crossed the river," said Juliet to Charlie. "Now I'm certain she doesn't want us following her."

"How did she cross?" he asked, observing the depth and the width of it.

"I don't know," said Juliet, "Lets head back; it will take forever to cross the river and to find her tracks again."

Charlie was on the verge of agreeing with her. He couldn't take in why Claire doesn't want to him to follow her. He then disagreed. "No, I'm going to find her. Go back alone if you wish, but I'm not coming with you."

"Charlie, don't make this hard on you… and me."

He ignored her, trying to find o log he could use a boat to cross the river. She sighed and began searching with him. After about half an hour, they found nothing and sat against a tree to rest.

Something then stirred in the bushes. Juliet and Charlie looked around. Juliet hesitated to get out the gun from her pack, remembering the last time she shot something in the bushes. It was then that a polar bear emerged from the bushes.

Juliet and Charlie froze. The bear didn't move, just eyed them. Charlie expected Juliet to take the gun out of her pack but she didn't. Juliet stood up carefully as she forced Charlie up as well.

"Run!" she said, as she started.

Charlie followed her confused, running as fast as he could. He did not know if the bear was following them or not. As he followed her, he realized that she was distancing from the river and the camp as well.

When Juliet and Charlie stopped to catch their breath, they found that the bear had stopped following them. They stopped for only one minute when Juliet said: "We have to keep moving. The bear might be following us. We have to get as far away as possible."

"I don't suppose you know where we are now?" he said breathing heavily.

"I don't, but we can easily follow our tracks back" she admitted, analyzing her surroundings. "But unless you want to die out here I suggest we keep running," she said as she started running.

Charlie followed.

After a few minutes of running, they stopped again to catch their breath. "I think we lost him. Could we please stop running?"

"The bear will follow our tracks," said Juliet. "Keep walking."

So they walk for about half an hour in silence until Charlie said: "Why didn't you take out your gun? The bear would have been long dead if you had shot him?"

She didn't answer.

"Did you vow to never shoot again after you shot Sawyer?" he asked.

She still didn't answer.

"Look, if you're not going to answer…"

"Yes, Charlie, I vowed," it was then that he noticed she was crying.

"Juliet, its not you're fault," he said trying to console her.

"I'm the one that shot him. It is my fault."

"Juliet…"

"Let's keep walking please. I don't want to talk about it."

They walked for about five minutes and the Charlie said, "You saved my life. You saved Claire's life and I'm sure you saved even more lives before, so don't feel bad about this one life that you think you took away, when it was just as much my fault as it is yours."

"You say that as if you know how many men I've killed." That silenced Charlie.

After an hour of walking, they heard thunder and it started raining.

"NO!" screamed Juliet, knowing that their tracks will be washed away. "I give up. We'll sleep here. Tomorrow, we'll try and head back to the camp."

Charlie didn't protest. He didn't want to after someone that didn't want to be followed no matter how much he loved her, and he easily went to sleep, as did Juliet.

Charlie woke at the sound of Juliet's scream. As he roused, he saw the same bear biting on Juliet's arm. He got up quickly and tried pushing the bear away, but it was too big and too heavy. He didn't know what to do, so he grabbed a nearby rock which was big in size and dropped it on the bear, which let out a growl. Charlie took this chance to pull Juliet away from the bear. Her arm was bleeding heavily, but she was conscious. The bear ran to attack Juliet, but Charlie blocked his way and began wrestling with the bear. The bear knocked him down easily and furiously began biting his leg. Charlie kicked with his other leg and before he knew it, the bear was running away into the jungle because of gunshot by Juliet.

Juliet then rushed to Charlie, taking of her shirt to stop the bleeding on his leg, completely ignoring her bloody arm. The only thing she could do was stop the bleeding with her shirt and other cloth she brought along with her. Charlie sat up, thanking her. He then took off his own shirt to try and tend to her wound on her arm.

After what seems like hours, both Juliet and Charlie wounds were covered and stopped from bleeding. They slept despite the pain they felt, Charlie in his leg and Juliet in her arm.

In the morning, they were happy that their wounds were not deathly and that both of them had lived.

Both of them sat there motionless until Juliet said, "You saved my life. You could have just run and left me to die when you saw the bear."

"What kind of person do you think I am? You saved my life by breaking your vow and shooting. You also treated my wound before yours."

They kept fighting on who saved who's lives for quite some time until they both realized how stupid they sounded. Then Charlie said, "Now what?"

"The bandages won't last long," said Juliet. "We have to find either the river or the shore so we could clean them. We only have enough water for about two days and very little food. You can't walk, so you'll have to lean on me."

Charlie nodded. Juliet then got up and helped Charlie up. They were side to side and his arm was around her neck for balance.

"Now I will do the walking and you follow me with both feet, but do not put too much weight on the wounded one. Put your weight me," instructed Juliet. They practiced walking that way and it worked although it did inflect a bit of pain on Charlie's leg.

Although Charlie was in pain he couldn't help but smile at the sight of Juliet in a bra. She noticed this and gave him a grimacing look and asked, "What? Why are you smiling?"

He shook away the smile and said: "Sorry, its just that it's the second time I've seen a woman in a bra in this island."

"Me and Claire?" she asked, secretly amused.

Charlie guessed why she thought it would have been Claire and he was surprised that Juliet would have thought that. "No," he said glumly. "It's not that kind of relationship between me and her."

"Wow, you're kind of clean for a rock star. So who is it?"

"I didn't have sex with the person if that's what you're thinking," said Charlie.

"It's not what I was thinking."

"It's Kate. There was bee hive and a bunch of bees attacked and she took of her shirt because she thought that there were bees; don't get any wrong ideas."

"So… are you a virgin?" she asked surprisingly.

"Personal much?" he asked smiling.

"Sorry."

"Of course I'm no virgin. Like you said, I am a rock star. You're a virgin aren't you?"

"No," she said, remembering that she broke her virginity to Goodwyn.

They were quiet for about an hour. The journey was incredibly boring. Their pace was slow, painful and tiring. They found no hint of any body of water nearby, so they kept walking. They were bored without a doubt.

"There's something you don't know about Claire," said Juliet, breaking the silence.

"What's that?"

"That her father's American."

"She did tell me she didn't know her father until he came to see her for a day. And now she's telling me that her father gives Locke advice."

"Did she tell you that her father is also Jack's father?"

Charlie stared at here in confusion. "How could you know such a thing?"

"Did you know that the 'Others' have files about every single survivor, including you. I know that Claire's father is Jack's father. I bet even she doesn't know that."

"Oh yeah, tell me something about me."

"I know that you're in a band named Driveshaft. I know you have a brother named Liam and that's all I remember about you."

"You could easily get this information from the Internet."

"I also know you're father was a butcher. Could you get that from the internet?"

"You could be a Driveshaft stalker," said Charlie, surprised she knew that.

Juliet rolled her eyes. "I didn't memorize you're file. But if you don't believe me, don't. I was trying to relieve your boredom as well as mine."

"So what else do you know about other people? That might relieve my boredom."

"Interesting lives these people have. Sawyer's parents were kind of killed by Locke's father."

"Yeah right. What are the odds?"

"And Sawyer recently killed Locke's father for revenge. Recently as in on the island recently."

"Wow, you should really be an author. Nice story."

"It's no story! Oh and Sun's father agreed to marry Jin to her only if Jin worked for him, and the type of orders given to Jin were to either kill of hurt a man. And Sun repaid him by sleeping with another man."

"Keep the stories coming."

Juliet rolled her eyes. "If you want to keep making these comments, I'll stop."

"Kate, she's a fugitive and what she did was that she killed her own father by bombing her own house. Her own mother turned her in. And Jack, he married a woman that he miraculously saved and then they divorced. Rose is dying, and it's hard to believe that she still didn't. Sayid killed his friend because of a woman he loved and was supposed to torture, but instead, helped her escape and to do so, he shot his own arm. Hurley, he won a lot of money and thinks that the money is bad luck. Oh, and Nikki and Paulo, they killed the director of a movie just to get some diamonds. Ana-Lucia, was pregnant and was shot in the stomach, was saved but the baby wasn't. She took revenge against the killer by killing him herself. Micheal didn't spend his life with Walt, he lived with his mother and his mother died. When this happened, Micheal took Walt and that is why they were flying. Eko tried to fly heroin from his home country, Nigeria, and in the end, his brother flew in his place. If you think Eko's a priest, he's not. His brother is and so Eko hid his identity by going in his place. It's complicated stuff."

"Wow, you really should be a story-teller," said Charlie, thinking about the plane and the dead man in it that Eko claimed to be his brother. That fact had proved that Juliet wasn't lying. "So, what else do you know about me?"

"Only that you asked your brother Liam to come back to Driveshaft and he didn't agree. Not much."

"Well, that really did relieve my boredom. Some stories! So tell me your story Juliet. How did you come to be on this island?"

"Well, I was offered a job here and I came."

"Why would a fertility doctor be offered a job here?"

"Pregnant woman die here. So I was given a job to find out why it happens. I never found out."

"Don't you have a family in the real world?" asked Charlie.

"Yes. I have a sister and a niece," said Juliet slowly and quite sadly.

"Then why did you want to stay on this sodding island?"

"Because I was forced."

"Forced?"

"Ben promised me that it was only a few months and then he didn't allow me to go back. It was a broken promise."

"If you can't figure out why the pregnant woman die on the island, why would he want to keep you?"

She paused. When she saw that Charlie was waiting for an answer she sighed and said, "because he…" She was obviously embarrassed.

Charlie laughed out loud. He guessed the answer. "He loves you?"

She nodded with embarrassment as Charlie was laughing violently.

"What's so funny?" she asked seriously.

"It's funny that an old, short, and hideous troll would think that he has a chance with a beautiful, middle-aged woman," he said.

Juliet blushed. Then there was silence.

Hours passed and there was no luck in anything. They found no food or water. Juliet helped Charlie against a tree.

"Rest for some time. I'll go and see if I can find anything. I'll be back in a few minutes," he nodded.

She came back in a little less than an hour and said: "I found the shore. We'll go there and clean the cloth and the wounds and then follow it back to the camp."

They headed for the shore. When they reached there, Juliet took Charlie's bandages off and cleaned them, leaving them to dry, the she cleaned his leg with the salty water, which was painful but bearable.

Then she tended to her own wound. Charlie cleaned the bandages while Juliet tried to clean her own arm, but as soon as the water touched her arm, she pulled back in pain.

"Need help?" he asked, crawling closer to her.

"No," she said, dipping her arm in the salt water again, and again, pulling back in pain.

Charlie took her arm and slowly dipped it in the water again. Juliet stirred, but her arm was held tightly. He cleaned the blood from the wound and slowly raised her arm from the water, massaging it comfortably. "That's better, isn't it?"

"Thank you," she said, shyly pulling away her arm. "I think your bandages are dry enough, she said, grabbing them.

He pulled his leg closer to her as the cloth was tied around the wound. Charlie tied her bandages around her wound.

They sat next to the shore for about a minute when Juliet's face reddened.

"What's wrong?" he asked, watching her put her legs against her chest.

She didn't answer. She just moved her unwounded arm to her back.

Charlie tried his best not to laugh when he realized what was wrong. Her bra was undone.

"I guess you need my help now," he said, grinning.

"No thanks," she said still trying to do the bra with one hand.

"Look, its not like I want anything to do with your modest parts," he said sarcastically.

Her face was blood red when she nodded. She turned her back to him as he grabbed the two sides and tried to attach them. His grin soon tuned into a frown when he realized how hard it was.

"How do you do this?" he asked, still trying.

"Put the hooks through the holes," she told him as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I tried, it's not working."

"Try again."

He tried for about two minutes when he let them go. "How do you women do this without even seeing them?"

"Try again because I'm not moving until they're done!"

"Okay, okay," he tried for five more minutes until they were attached.

"Thanks," she said sarcastically as she let go of her position.

"You're welcome," he said sarcastically, resting his arms. "Women," he muttered under his breath.

She stood up and approached Charlie, holding out her arm. "Let's go. We're following the shore to camp, no matter how long it takes us."

He took her arm, and then stumbled over her feet, causing her and him to fall on top of each other. They were so close, they might as well kiss. They stayed in this position for a few seconds without stirring until Charlie got up off of her by rolling to her side. She stood up, quite embarrassed, as she wiped the sand from her clothes. She then helped Charlie up, who also wiped the sand off of himself and they started walking along the shore.

In the first day, the trip was wordless except for a few words exchanged about their bad luck in not finding a trace of the camp. The whether was now surprisingly cold, and with Juliet and Charlie shirtless, they were freezing.

When they called it a day and decided to sleep, Juliet placed Charlie against a tree as she sat against another. They were shivering because they were so cold, unable to sleep. None of them bothered to even try and start a fire, though they both knew that if they huddle, they would be much warmer, but both were too shy to ask one another to do such a thing.

After a few minutes, Juliet couldn't take it, she approached the shivering Charlie.

"You're obviously cold," she said to him, stuttering.

"So are you," he replied, stuttering as well.

She paused, thinking for the right words to ask him. Before she could open her mouth he grabbed her and huddled her next to him, and after a few moments, they were much warmer and slept easy.

Juliet was the first to wake, remembering that she was huddled with Charlie. His arms were around her waist, which she thought was awkward, but ignored it. She didn't move though. She had to admit that she was quite comfortable and did not want to discard of that comfort so easily. When Charlie woke, he felt just as comfortable, so warm with Juliet's silky hair on his chest. Without thinking, he began stroking it, which was all the more comforting for both of them.

Charlie felt like the worst traitor on Earth. He was displaying affection to a woman other than Claire. Although he wasn't having sex with Juliet, it still felt wrong, but comfortable. His conscious was bothering him as he was stroking Juliet's hair. After a few minutes, he pushed Juliet away, but not rudely.

She stood up, hand on her head, feeling very awkward.

He looked up at her saying, "please pretend that this never happened."

She nodded. "Do you want to eat," she asked, taking out two of the Dharma canned foods that were left. She gave one to Charlie and she took one herself. They ate quietly, playing around with the beans, thinking about what had just happened.

After Juliet finished, she said, "We have barely enough water to last today, and no food at all. I'm going alone to find water and fruits."

He nodded, as she left him alone on the shore to think. He knew that his relationship with Juliet would never be the same after what has happened. And if Claire knew, his relationship with her will falter completely. He smacked his head on the tree, cursing what has happened, and cursing the island for being so cold to the point he had to huddle. It isn't wrong though. It's not like I totally betrayed Claire. I didn't literally have sex with Juliet, just huddled for warmth. But why I put my arm around her and stroked her hair, I don't know.

After about three houses alone, Juliet came back with nothing.

She sat down and rested, also wordless. After about ten minutes, Juliet was rested and said: "Come on, lets go."

They packed the bags. Juliet helped Charlie up to the position and they limped their way along the shore.

They walked for two hours, which were literally wordless. They were tired and bored out of their wits. They were too shy to talk to each other until Juliet said: "You seem glum."

He didn't answer.

"If it's about last night, it never happened."

"I know," he said. There was a pause. Then Charlie asked, "Do you have a guy in your life?"

"Used to be," she answered, thinking about Goodwyn.

"Did he leave you?"

"For death," she said simply.

"Oh, sorry."

"Why the sudden curiosity."

"Just wondering if you feel the same way I do right now," he said. But he was curious about the guy that died. "If you don't mind me asking, how did he die?"

"He was murdered, by Ana-Lucia," she said sadly.

"I heard about that guy. He's the guy that disguised himself as one of them."

She nodded sadly.

"And Ethan, did he mean anything to you?"

"Just a friend."

"Sorry I killed him."

She sighed and said, "He threatened your life, kidnapped Claire, killed one of you, and almost killed you once, he deserved it."

"Do you think the guy that Ana killed deserved it? He did about the same thing."

She was soon fighting back tears. "Goodwyn was trying to help Ana. He didn't deserve it."

"But I heard that he did kill one of them."

She was wordless and tears were in his eyes.

"Sorry I brought up the subject," he said, feeling guilty for making her cry.

"No, it's fine," she said, wiping away a tear, "It wasn't him that deserved it; it was the man giving him to orders."

"Ben?"

She nodded, letting out a sob. She soon was sobbing violently. To the point she dropped Charlie. "I'm sorry," she said, kneeling to help him up, still sobbing.

Instead of taking her hand, he pulled her close and hugged her.

Before long, he was crying as well, thinking about his position. He might die soon if they don't find the camp soon; he is away from all of his family; Kate, Jack, Hurley, Aaron, Jin, Sun, Desmond, Sayid and Sawyer are all dead (according to him); Claire is missing and is becoming a psycho; and now Juliet is crying in his arms. Everything is going wrong. He wiped away Juliet's tears, surprisingly attracted to her. He pulled her into kiss in which Juliet accepted, kissing him back. It happened without warning. Now he's sure he cheated, but didn't care anymore.

They pulled away, still tearful, as another tearful face emerged from the forest. It was Claire. Charlie gasped, as did Juliet. "How could you?" she said to Charlie, before running if into the jungle.

"Claire!" he yelled, as he tried to walk with his injured leg.

Juliet set him down, saying, "I'll go after her," she said as she ran to catch up with Claire.

She came back minutes later, breathless. "I'm sorry. I couldn't catch up with her. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I ruined your relationship with her, I'm so sorry!" she was crying more than ever.

He nodded, also sobbing. "It's my sodding fault," he yelled, "I should have never followed her! I should have never taken you with me. I should have never kissed you. I should have never got out of that sodding Looking Glass and I should have never have even tried to survive. I deserve to die!"

Juliet pitied him, but was afraid to get near him. She sat some distance away from him.

After a few minutes, the sobbing was weaker, but hadn't stopped. Juliet said, "When I followed Claire, she wrote a message on the ground, saying that if we keep going the way we're going, we'll get to camp soon."

Charlie nodded, sniffing. "But I won't burden you with my weight. I'll crawl."

"That would take longer."

"Well, then find me some sticks that could use for crutches."

She nodded and went into the Jungle, and after less than a minute, she came back with two reasonably lengthy sticks. She gave them to him, helping him onto them. He tried walking with them, and the worked quite well. He limped along the shore, with Juliet following.

They continued this way until night, in which they decided to rest. It was cold, but they slept without huddling.

When they woke the next morning, they had a small chat.

"I miss my old life. I miss my brother," said Charlie to himself.

"I miss my old life too. With my sister," she added.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this, Juliet. I know you wish that I'd died. Sawyer wouldn't have died and we would never have been stuck here without food or water with injured body parts."

"Let's get moving then," she said, helping him up on his crutches.

They walked for less than minute when they saw something much unexpected. A plane was diving from the sky and it crashed on the island. Both Juliet and Charlie were more than surprised. It was about half a mile away from them. They walked at a normal pace toward the plane, and when they were nearer, Juliet said: "Stay here. I'll go see if their dangerous," she said disappearing in the forest, as Charlie dropped on the ground, waiting for her.

Juliet ran quickly until she was very near to them. She saw that the plane hadn't split or anything, the only damage was that it was broken for the bottom. She saw few people, but they were unclear. She snuck towards them, trying to make out who they were, until she gasped in astonishment, seeing Jack, Kate, Aaron, Sun, a baby, Sayid, Hurley, Frank, Desmond, Penny and Liam helping each other out of the damaged plane.

Hey- hope you liked it- weird ship, i know... but still. PLEASE REVIEW, in return for all the effort and time i put into this chapter- waste like two minutes in return. PLEASE so i'll make the next one that long!
