last chapter enjoy. and please review!
Sayid had yet to recover from Aaron's death as he ran into then jungle in search of Claire. He suspected that she'll suicide or decapitate an arm. He called her name, seeing her sit, knees against her chest, sobbing. It was a sight he pitied.
He stood watching her, and after what seems like hours, she showed no hint of weakening her sob.
"Claire," he said gently.
She didn't budge.
He felt that his presence bothered her, so he left her, saying, "I will be back tomorrow, we have to go back to the camp."
"I'm not going back," her voice was tear-stained.
He waited for her to continue.
"I'm going back to my father, now that there's no one I care about anymore."
"What about Charlie?"
"That bastard broke his promise and he killed Aaron. I will never forgive him."
"He didn't do it on purpose."
"Bitch," she cursed, which was startled Sayid.
"What about Kate, Jack, Sun and all the others? Do you not care about them?"
"Not enough to stay around Aaron's grave and that… murderer." She paused. "I will have revenge."
Sayid stared at her, seeing her turn from an angel to a devil was something he thought he'd never experience.
"What about Aaron's funeral. Don't you want to attend that?"
She was speechless. She then stood up. "I will go, attend his funeral, but I do not want to see Charlie's face."
He nodded. "It will take a few hours to get there, now that there's no cart."
So they followed each other to the direction of the camp.
"Sayid?" asked Claire, after about half an hour of silence.
"Hmm."
"I said I don't want to see Charlie. I want Charlie to see me. It's part of my revenge. I want him to feel betrayed."
"How does seeing you make him feel betrayed?"
"I want to kiss you in front of him."
Sayid's jaw dropped in surprise. "You're kidding."
"No… look, it's nothing personal. I want him to think I love you, just like I know he loves other woman. Sayid, please do this for me… please."
"You may hate Charlie, but I still consider him a friend. I would not want to hurt him."
"It's me who'll attack you. You can slap me afterwards."
"It would still be something planned, so technically, I am hurting Charlie. No Claire, I won't allow you to break is heart like this."
"But you allow him to break my heart," she was crying.
Sayid hugged her and whispered. "Charlie didn't mean it. It was an accident. Surely you don't believe he purposely murdered Aaron."
"But he purposely kissed Juliet. He purposely called that Widmore girl beautiful."
"Charlie is an honest…"
"Shut up!" she cried, sobbing, and walking away from him. "No one ever believes me. Charlie's an evil bastard. I wanted to ask you to torture him, but I was too sweet. I'm tired of being his puppet. He uses me while in love with other woman. He's probably kissing Kate right now, or snuggling with Sun, or reproducing with Juliet because I'm not around…"
"Claire, whatever it is… it must be a misunderstanding, I don't believe Charlie would do that." He got closer to her.
She began pounding him on his chest.
"I'll help you!" he said, holding her hand so she won't hurt him anymore. "I'll help you Claire, I'll do what you want me to do. But if I see that you're taking things too far, I will stop. If I see that Charlie is getting too hurt and it is an unfair vengeance, then I will turn against you. Kiss me once, and that is all I will accept. He probably doesn't deserve it, but I will do it for you."
She nodded, thanking him.
The remainder of the trip was wordless.
The got to the camp as a few people gathered around them. Sayid searched for Charlie. He found Liam sticking his head out of a tent.
Sayid went to Liam and asked: "Is Charlie there?"
"He's in no mood for talking," he answered.
"Send him this message: that Claire does not want to see him. She is furious at him. She will attend Aaron's funeral and then leave."
Liam nodded.
Then Sayid saw, from the corner of his eye, Charlie looking out of the tent. He gave a signal to Claire that Charlie's looking. She nodded and slowly walked over to Sayid. Sayid saw her hesitate and knew she felt bad about it. She held his hand first, before kissing him as passionately as she could.
The spectators all gasped. Sayid heard Charlie start to cry. He was about to take out a gun and kill himself for hurting Charlie like this. Claire was even crying of guilt. His eyes were getting heavier as he heard Charlie sob even harder. Claire wiped away his tear. "I'm sorry," she said. "I shouldn't have." More tears formed in their eyes as they heard Charlie sob harder and harder.
Liam was charging over to Sayid. "What the bloody hell is your problem?" Liam asked him, obviously wanting to start a fight.
"Liam, stop!" said Claire, her eyes full of tears.
He turned to face her, fury visible in his face.
"I'm the one who kissed him!"
"Yeah," he said, not blinking, "But Charlie would not want me to hurt you." Disgust and fury were obvious in his words.
Claire was speechless, as Liam stormed back into Charlie's tent.
The people gathered around them had faces of awe, pity, fury, misery and surprise. It was obvious that no one supported what Claire and Sayid had done.
It was Penny who approached Claire first. "What have you done?" she asked him. Desmond was behind her staring at Claire with disgust. "What has that poor boy ever done to you?"
"You of all people should know what he's done to me, besides accidently murdering Aaron," she screamed with emphasis on the word Aaron.
She slapped Claire then. It was unexpected. Claire did nothing then. "Grow up," muttered Penny before walking away.
Juliet was next in turn to slap her. Rose also slapped her. Sun and Kate also felt it appropriate to slap her, but before they either of them did, "Stop!" came a weak voice from Charlie's tent, and they stopped. The men did nothing, just eyed both Sayid and Claire with menacing looks.
An hour later, the funeral started. Claire and Sayid were distanced from. Liam came out of his tent. Charlie came out shortly after, avoiding Claire's gaze, as Claire avoided his.
Claire, Kate and Charlie were the ones who were crying the most. After the sayings were finished and Desmond and Jack placed the last lump of sand on top of Aaron, Claire attacked Charlie. She punched and scratched his face until his face was bloody. Almost everyone in the funeral were trying to stop her, but she wasn't stopped. They picked her up, but she attacked again. Soon, he was lying on the ground, Claire on top of him, doing all the possible damage to his face. Liam punched her himself, trying to get her away from him, but, as if she wasn't feeling any pain, she kicked him away and kept on hurting him. It was only until Sayid pointed a gun at her, swearing to his god that he will shoot her if she does not get off of him, that she got off.
"Now, Claire, I have turned against you," said Sayid before pulling the safety trigger and pointing the gun at her leg.
"No!" yelled Charlie, his face covered with blood. "Leave her alone."
Sayid lowered his gun. "I'm sorry for kissing her."
Claire wiped away her tears, as the blood from her hands rubbed on her face. She sat on Aaron's grave crying. And that was Desmond's flash.
Claire looked at Charlie, feeling guiltier than ever. He stopped Sayid from shooting her leg, when she scarred his face and almost took his eyeballs out. She then realized how cruel she's been, kissing Sayid.
"I'm sorry, Charlie," she sobbed, "I am so sorry."
Jack tended to Charlie's face, washing it from the blood.
As Jack treated Charlie, Liam spat at Claire.
"Liam!" yelled Charlie with disapproval.
"What is wrong with you, brother? After what she did to you and your face, you don't want me to even spit on her?"
"Talk later," said Jack, as he took two broken teeth from Charlie mouth and him water to spit out the blood.
As Jack stitched and bandaged Charlie's wounds, everyone watched wordlessly. After he finished, he looked at Claire, whose nose was bleeding from Liam's punch.
Everyone expected Jack to help her, but instead, he walked away.
When Charlie saw Jack walking away, he himself went to Claire and wiped the blood from her nose with his sleeve, then wiped her tears. "I'm sorry," he said. "I murdered Aaron."
"You're sorry? I hurt you physically and emotionally and you're sorry?" she asked crying even more.
He kept wiping her tears. "I deserved it."
She shook her head. "I feel so unworthy to hold your heart. I can't believe that after what I put you through, you still treat me as if you love me."
"It's because I do," he said, wiping the last hint of tears from her eyes.
"Lord, forgive me," she said, looking at the sky. "I swear that I will never hurt you again, Charlie."
"You are the nicest girl I know."
She laughed pettily. "Nice?"
"I killed Aaron and you're swearing to never hurt me again."
"Kill me Sayid," she said looking at his gun. Charlie was quick to react until Claire held his lips. "I was a bitch, admit it, Charlie, I was a selfish bitch desperate for revenge against a pure and innocent soul." She let go of his mouth.
"No," he yelled. "I killed Aaron. I murdered him because of my carelessness, I am sorry…"
Before he could continue, Claire kissed him and he stared at her in surprise.
"I want to start over again, Charlie," said Claire. "I want to pretend I never had Aaron. I want to forget everything that has happened in the past."
He smiled. "I'd like that."
