"How has your life been all these years, Brennan?"
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Tom?"
He shrugged. "I haven't seen you in what? Six years? You've changed so much… You look uh… clean… For a lack of better words." He laughed lightly sitting down on his brother's couch, his leg folding under the other. He looked around the room that was also very clean and neat.
"I see mom's OCD of cleanliness has also rubbed onto you as well?" he asked looking at a picture of his brother posing with another girl. She had brown curly hair and a sprinkle of freckles across her nose and structured cheeks.
Standing up he went towards the picture, holding it up and studying it.
"Oh, yeah Roger I forgot to tell you that Kate stopped over a few days ago."
"Kate?"
"Katherine Austen? You remember her don't you? You two were practically inseparable…"
Roger lifted his brow, fixing his eye on the girl in the picture and trying to remember who she was…. Looking out the window at a few bumblebees floating around the red roses, his eyes landed on a toy airplane on the counter top in the kitchen. It looked oddly out of place in the high-tech kitchen. Placing the picture frame lightly back on the counter he went to pick up the toy airplane.
"I remember this." He thought savagely. And it all started coming back to him.

"Long time no see, Kate." Roger said. His voice was raspy, very different from several years ago.
He watched as she spun around surprised and pale under her tan. He continued to watch with labor breath as her eyes darted around the trees for another means of escape.
"It's no use, Kate. No one's coming to help you. I've made sure of that…" He crossed his arms around his chest and studied her fondly.
"You haven't changed at all, you know. Last time I saw you was in the tenth grade, right? Or maybe I'm just getting rusty and going insane."
"R-roger?" She stuttered back, her arms held out at shoulder length. Her face seem to dawn on an expression of recognition and fear.
"I can't believe this…" She whispered more to herself than to him. Roger laughed roughly and leaned against the tree where he reminded Kate more of Tom.
"Can't believe what? That we meet again? That I'll finally get my revenge?" His eyes shifted towards Kate's bloody wrists. He walked towards her and took her arms in his. Pulling her roughly towards him, Kate found herself in a harsh and uncomfortable kiss. Roger savored the feel of Kate's slim body against his legs and chest… savored the quick, hard pounding of her heart. She flinched at this unexpected kiss and pulled away fast. Her face was contorted into that of rage, the face that was so familiar to Roger. Moving fast like a black panther, he slapped her face hard with his calloused hand. She gasped loudly as he watched her fall back into a tree, cradling her red cheek.
"What the fuck!" she said, gently stroking her cheek and looking at the blood that had accumulated rather fast on her long fingers.
"Ha-ha… You haven't changed one bit, Kate… You're just as strong-headed and a pain to the ass as you were all those years ago in high school." He sighed loudly, watching her pained face. "Don't you wish that those happy times just never end and would go on and on?" He shook his head as if to clear off some distant day-dream. "Now, let's get to the point… Where's my airplane?" he asked lifting out his hand towards her.
Kate trembled slightly, from pain and nerves. She fiddled in her frayed jeans pocket, the seams of it worn so that it might rip at any second. The plastic touch of the toy in her hand was cold and it felt good against her hot, sweaty hand. Biting her lip she took it out slowly, afraid that he might slap her again, or even worse pull her into another unwanted kiss.
"Please, if I give it to you, take me to Jack." She said holding out the airplane and walking slowly towards him. He snatched it out of her hand and pocketed it quickly, like it would evaporate and disappear if he didn't.
"No, I don't think I will Kate. You see I've been stuck on this little island for some time now. One can get very lonely…"

Okay, well Roger is the new character I've added to make things more interesting with Kate's already complicated love triangle… Or a love square now. Anyways, he's also the same lanky guy in the first chapter if you guys haven't noticed.
Hoped everyone liked it. Please review, if you liked!
