This chapter quite a sad chappy but here comes the Jate!

Kate sprinted over to Jack and Claire's as quickly as she could she couldn't believe that Christian was dead she knew him virtually all her life and she knew Jack and Claire for the same amount of time. As soon as she got to Jack and Claire's she braced herself for stepping into the Shepard house as she couldn't imagine what they were all going through. She knocked on the door quietly and stepped back Claire answered the door her eyes were all red and puffy her nose was also red after all her crying of course.

"Aw Claire come here." She motioned and pulled her best friend into a tight embrace and just let her cry on her shoulder still standing at the door.

"Thank you so much Kate come in." She sobbed. She walked in and looked over to the kitchen where she saw Jack and Claire's mom Margot. She looked so distant standing there staring at nothing so Kate stood up and walked over to her and she finally looked up and Kate pulled her into a soft hug. Kate could not have imagined what they were all going through now she just had to find one person her best friend ever. Jack.

"Margot where is Jack?" Kate asked on the verge of crying herself.

"He is up in his room he hasn't moved since."

She said wiping a tear from her cheek. So Kate walked up the stairs and quietly knocked on Jack's door he almost immediately answered and just looked at her. Then without saying a word she just rapped her arms around his shoulders and he rapped his arms around her waist and they just stood there. Jack was the first to pull away "When did you come?" He asked quietly.

"About twenty minutes ago." She replied. "Look Jack I'm so sorry." Kate said rubbing his back.

"I know its okay I'll be okay." He said sitting down on the chair nearest his window just staring out into nothing.

"How did it happen?" Kate asked simply.

"You know the normal Christian Shepard thing getting stemming drunk at some bar going back to a hotel somewhere and then drinking the contents of the bar in his room you know." Jack explained. Kate knew that Jack's father had trouble with drinking but she didn't think it would have killed him.

"Look I just came over for a little while erm I better go what will I tell everyone?" Kate asked.

"Just tell them the truth and I'll keep you posted on info and stuff like that." Jack stated.

"Okay I'll see you later Jack." Kate smiled.

"Oh and Kate thanks." Jack said.

"For what?" Kate asked.

"For being Kate." Jack smiled back and Kate walked out of the house with a tear in the corner of her eye.

NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL

Kate walked into homeroom and gathered the gang around and told them the news.

"Omg are they okay." Shannon said sadly.

"Claire was just in tears the whole time I was there yesterday, Margot was just lost and Jack oh god Jack was just so dead looking I have never seen him like that before and they said they will keep us posted about the funeral and stuff." Kate explained to the group.

"God its so weird that all of us all grew up knowing him I mean nearly eighteen years of our lives we know someone and they are just gone." Sayid whispered as Mr. Rom walked in.

"Excuse me you guys I've got to go give this to the creep." Kate pointed out to Mr. Rom.

"Sir this is from Mrs. Shepard for Jack and Claire being off family thing." She handed him a small letter.

"Thank you Miss Austen." He smirked and just glared at him.
