Chapter 4: At the fair.
"No." Claire said. Kate blinked. "No, Kate, I can't I have to watch Aaron!" Kate glared at them. Jack and Charlie were behind Kate. Jack had asked Charlie to come with them to the fair, not on the date, Kate was begging Claire to come, she had also asked Shannon and Sayid had said they wanted a night to themselves.
"We can get a baby sitter! I'll pay!" Kate said. Claire sighed and brushed hair out of Aarons face. Aaron giggled and played with the strings on Kate's throw pillow that was on her leather couch. Jack glared at Kate's offer.
'Why do you need me to come so bad?" Claire asked raising one eyebrow. Kate glanced at Jack and Charlie.
"Charlie can't hold out a good conversation and Jacks a bit…" Kate said. Claire nodded for her to go on. Kate looked down.
"A bit?" Jack asked. He saw a tear fall from Kate's eye.
"Never mind, it was stupid." Kate said bringing her self up. She smiled but they all could see the tears brimming in her eyes. "You don't need to come." She looked at Claire blue eyes, full of hurt and surprise.
"If I knew it meant that much…" Claire said but Kate cut her off.
"It's not that, Claire!" Kate snapped. Claire looked surprised. "It's it the past!" Hers eyes darted to Jack, who's mouth was open slightly.
…
Kate screamed as the roller coaster plunged down, she heard Jack laughing next to her and reached out and snatched up his hand, he stopped laughing, she stopped screaming. Time stopped.
…
"That was freaking' scary." Charlie said with sarcasm in his voice. Jack laughed and shook his head. "What? It was sooooooo scary! I was very frightened!" He said, grinning, he suddenly frowned looking at Kate who was following behind them. Jack span around and looked at Kate.
She looked a little uncomfortable. "I need to use the washroom." She said. Jack raised one eyebrow as she walked away. She disappeared around a corner. Jack looked at Charlie was looking at Jack expectantly. Jack nodded and ran after her. He looked around the corner and saw Kate sitting down on a bench, looking at her hand. Jack looked at her, she looked slightly confused.
He came a sat down next to her. He touched her arm.
"Hey." He whispered. Looked up at him, her eyes held confusion and hurt, but passion and light. "Are you ok?" Kate's eyes welled with tears, she shook her head. Jack wanted to hug her, and hold her, tell her he cared, and make it go away. But he didn't, he didn't know how she would react.
"Its so…over whelming, you being here, Jack…I just, I don't know if I'm supposed to let you in again, or just shut you out." Kate whispered. Jack looked at her eyes and glanced down to her lips. He suddenly slipped one hand behind her waist and ripped her against him, holding her face to his, kissing her hard, Kate was sitting on his lap as they kissed each other hard. Kate moaned and kissed Jack back. Jack slowly pulled away, much to Kate's disappointment.
"When you make you're choice, know, that whatever it is, I'll be there."
