This is the chapter where Jack and Sawyer play I never... I think that it's alright but I could have definitely made it better. However, I would just like to say that I'm going on holiday tomorrow and not coming up until the 5th Jan which means that updates will be very rare from now until then. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hope you like the chapter and if you do, please review! Oh, and thank you to those who reviewed last chapter. :)

Chapter 7

Jack looked at him suspiciously. He didn't think that the man opposite him was the type to "play games". In fact… he wondered whether half the things he had said were true in the first place. But then again… if he had given him a bottle of alcohol, it was quite obvious that this game was a drinking one.

"What type of game?"

"Well, it's called 'I Never'," Sawyer drawled in his heavy accent, "You have to say I never and then a fact and then if you have done it, you drink. If you haven't, you don't. Simple as that. It's just a way to get ta know each other better." He shrugged.

"What type of 'facts'?" Jack moved closer to the bars.

"Jeez, you ask a lot of questions!" Jack sharply turned his head towards Sawyer but before he could even form his sentence, Sawyer continued. "Can't we just start, you'll get used to it. Look, to make ya feel better, I'll start."

He thought carefully about what he should start with, it had to be something normal so Jack would play along and he could carry on with the game trying to find out exactly why he was here.

"I never been to Disneyland." He stated simply and looked at Jack. "Now if you have, then you drink if you haven't you don't."

Jack looked from Sawyer's face and then to the bottle but didn't drink.

"Erm… I never wore pink." He said simply and looked at Sawyer whose face turned from relaxed, to pretty worried. He took the bottle up to his lips and drank, uncertainly.

"The 80s." He said roughly and glared at Jack who couldn't help but laugh. "C'mon, you must've worn pink at least once." He said, trying his best to get him to drink.

"Nope, never." Jack said, looking very amused.

"Well, that's what you think." He whispered as low as possible but Jack still heard and glared back at him.

"I never kissed a man." Sawyer said quickly changing the subject, hoping to get Jack back on this one. Jack didn't drink, however.

"Damn, you're far too normal." Sawyer said and Jack looked taken aback, that was the last thing that he was: normal. His life was anything but normal.

"I never wrote any letters to Santa." Jack said, getting very competitive as well. Neither of them drank, just stared quizzically at each other.

Now was the time for Sawyer to start questioning him about his past and why he was here.

"I've never been to prison more than once." He said, trying to sound as casual as possible. After all, he was a professional at this.

They both looked down, knowing that both of them should drink, but both waiting for the other to drink first. Then after a few minutes, Sawyer drank. Jack drank almost immediately afterwards. Another moment passed where silence overtook them both.

Throughout this time Jack was trying his best to think of something that wouldn't give any of his past away, it was obvious that Sawyer was only playing this game to find out more about him… he would be clever and not fall for it though.

"I've never had a one night stand." He said cleverly. Sawyer took a big gulp from the bottle and hissed slightly as he put the bottle down.

"Shall I drink for each one?" He asked, rolling his eyes although both of them knew that it wasn't a real question.

"I've never killed a man." Jack just turned to the other side, the answer was obvious but Sawyer never gave up and just watched him curiously to see how he would get out of this.

"Let's carry on with the game tomorrow." He said, turning around and lying down on the hard ground.

"Oh yeh, I forgot to mention that the loser is the one who stops the game." He smirked. Of course this was a lie but he wouldn't give up that easily.

"Come on, Sawyer, stop lying." Jack said, lazily.

"I will if you will too." He simply said to which Jack quickly sat back up and stared at him in anger. He put the small bottle that was now half empty to his mouth and drank out of it as quickly as possible, never taking his eyes off Sawyer.
