Disclaimer: I don't own lost only in my dreams I do.

The next couple of days at school where really quiet for the group as they had all been affected by Christians death. That morning in English Kate and Shannon couldn't talk so they just passed notes

So how do you think they are – Kate

I don't know I phoned Claire last night she sounded pretty bad – Shan

Jack is pretty bad as well I called last night but he was hardly on the phone for 5 minutes- Kate

I know I feel so bad for them- Shan

I know me too- Kate

You more than anyone Kate you've known Jack and Claire since you were born-Shan

I know that but that's only like a year more than you and the guys- Kate

I know oh shit here comes Mr Jones – Shan

After English they had recess so the group all met at the same place under a huge old oak tree which had been their meeting place for the last five years.

"Hey dudes." Hurley said.

"Hey Hurley." Everyone said at once.

"Oh god I just was like so close to falling asleep in History there he could put me to sleep." Hurley laughed.

"Hurley I've had him for three years in a row I still fall asleep." Sawyer laughed.

"Sawyer you'd fall asleep in any class." Ana smiled. Then a loud ring came out a at once everyone was digging in their bags finally they found that it was Kate's.

"Hello?" Kate asked.

"Kate it's me how are you?" Jack asked.

"Oh hey Jack I'm okay how you holdin up?" Kate asked.

"I'm getting there oh say hi to everyone for me." Jack smiled down the phone.

"Jack said hi guys." Kate said and a mixture of "Hey dude hi mate and Hiiiii" Came down the phone and he smiled.

"Right I phoned to tell you the arrangements for the funeral are Friday morning at half past ten." Jack said.

"Okay Jack oh that's the bell I better go I'll see you later okay." Kate smiled.

"Yeah I'll see you on Friday." Jack whispered.

"Bye." And she hung up.

"Look guys the funeral is on Friday at half past 10 will you be there?" Kate asked.

"Yeah of course we will." Sayid replied.

"You coming Charlie?" Hurley asked.

"Yeah Jack my mate yeah I'll be there." He smiled and walked off to his next class.

That day after school Kate was alone in the house until her mom came after work at the diner and asked her about the funeral

"So is that okay mom?" Kate asked.

"Of course Kate, Jack and Claire have been you're friends since you were born you couldn't miss their dad's funeral." Diane replied.

"I know mom where is Wayne?" Kate asked uncomfortably.

"He is away for the week staying with his brother." She glanced away.

"You sent him out didn't you?" Kate said shocked.

"YES Kate I did he is a stupid drunken idiot and I'm not having him in my house anymore." Diane yelled.

"Wow okay mom I was just going to sure it's about time." Kate smiled.

"What do you mean?" Diane asked confused.

"Well he was always coming home at the early hours of the morning and drinking himself to sleep he was just a waste of space mom although I never told you I hated him." Kate spat.

"Well he won't be coming back." Diane smiled.

"Okay mom I'm going out with the guys tonight is that okay?" Kate asked.

"Yeah sure remember and be in for ten." Diane said.

"Sure mom I'm going to get dressed." Kate walked up stairs and got changed into her favourite jeans and a blue sipper and walked out of the house over to the large playing field a couple of blocks away.
