Again, sorry about making the previous chapter so much shorter than all the previous! I figured something was better then waiting a few more days though, right? At least that means you'll still get the other half shortly!

Anyways! Here we go. For eyeon, who loves Miles as much as I do!

June 4,

1975

Part Two.

It didn't take long for Miles to get to the security room. "Gotta' problem man," he stated as soon as he was in the monitor room. He noticed that nobody else was around so he was free to say whatever he needed. "Juliet was telling me about things before we wound up here, she freaked out."

Sawyer stared at him momentarily. He was getting a brief sense of deja-vu. Last time that he and Juliet talked about the past was back in February, that was when she had run off, gotten shot and simultaneously got taken over by smokey in the jungle. "Well did ya' see where she went?" he asked quickly, getting out of his seat faster than he should have. He still wasn't fully recovered, but Juliet had been right about healing on the island. It was definitely much faster then normal.

"Towards the docks," Miles informed him.

"Stay here," Sawyer practically ordered him before wandering out of the security building. He got the feeling that he knew exactly where to find her. Turned out, he was right, the exact same place she'd been when he had asked her to stay for two weeks. He found himself leaning over the crate above her once again. "You alright?"

She was silent at first. She knew Miles would go get him but it was too late now. "I'm not really sure," she admitted. "I just..."

"Feel like yer' barely hanging on?" he asked, and watched as she looked up at him with some surprise. "I think we're all havin' that feeling."

Juliet gave him another of those smiles that didn't reach her eyes. She tilted her head slightly as he pulled something out from behind his back and held it out towards her. This time the smile did reach her eyes and she took the flower. "Whose garden did you steal this from?" she asked with a chuckle.

"Rosie's," he informed her with a grin. He was glad to at least see a real smile from her as she stared at the sunflower. "I know it feels like we can't go on like this forever, but hey... we're doing fine so far, right?" he asked, moving to sit beside her.

"Yeah... I guess we are," she admitted, leaning to the side and resting her head on his shoulder. "Sometimes I just really miss home. It's been four years... I just wonder if my sister even wonders if I'm still out here. What must she think of me for leaving her?"

Sawyer watched as she stared the the sunflower while speaking. "Best I can figure, she knows you'd come back if you could..." he stated. He only just now noticed her head on his shoulder, but he didn't say anything about it.

"In my dreams, she hates me for what I've become," she mumbled out. "I see her standing there when I shoot Danny, shaking her head, saying I'm not the sister she knew..." she admitted. "And she just, she just leaves me there, not wanting someone as screwed up as I am around her son."

He frowns, not sure how he should respond to that. It had been months since there had been any mention of dreams or nightmares. Months since he heard her wake up shrieking. He thought the dreams were over, that maybe she wasn't plagued by them any longer. He'd clearly been wrong about that. "You could have said somethin'."

She chokes back a laugh. "Like what?" she asks him. "In my dreams my sister thinks I'm a monster?"

"You ain't a monster," he assured her. "You're surviving."

Neither of them spoke for a few minutes. They just sat there staring out at the ocean in a comfortable silence.

"James?"

"Hmm?" he responded, glancing down to noticed those blue eyes staring directly into his own.

At first she didn't respond as they sat there looking at one another. Not until she managed to pull her gaze away. "Do you think we'll ever go home?"

"If you asked me that a few months ago, I would've said yeah.." he admitted to her. "But now? I really don't know..."

"Me neither.." she agreed quietly.

June 12,

1975.

Miles and Jin were sitting on the dock, their fishing lines bobbing in the water.

"I bet they're already sleeping together," Miles stated with a nod.

"Nuh-uh," Jin disagreed.

"Well why not? They've been in the same house for nine months, something's bound to happen," Miles stated, giving Jin an incredulous look.

"Both hard-headed," Jin explained. "Even if they did feel that way, would never admit it," she assured the other man.

"I liked it better when you didn't quite understand," Miles said with a frown. Jin hadn't just rained on his parade, he'd popped all the damn floats as well. "I have a plan!" he said suddenly, grinning.

Jin arched an eyebrow up at him. "No, no plan," Jin said, shaking his head immediately. "You make plan and always go badly."

Miles narrowed his eyes. "Oh come on," he said with a knowing smile. "We could just lock them in a room until they admit they have feelings for each other!"

Jin shook his head furiously. "They would kill each other first."

"Well..." Miles stated, deep in thought about that. "At least they wouldn't be able to kill us?"

Jin smirked. "Juliet would come back from grave, haunt you."

Miles shuttered. "Geez man, as if she wasn't scary enough already, way to make it worse."

Jin watched as something tugged on Miles line. He watched as the other man attempted to pull it in, instead, he watched Miles and the fishing pole go into the water. Immediately he was laughing.

"Not funny, Jin!" Miles sputtered out as he spat water from his mouth. He quickly grabbed Jin's line and tugged hard. Instead of getting Jin, the Korean had let go and he had a fishing pole fly into the water and hit him on the head. "Ow! Crap! What the hell?"

Jin was laughing even harder, leaning against the crate to keep himself steady.

Miles refused to admit he was amused at the other man's antics. It wasn't often Jin had fun so he couldn't be too angry with him. It didn't stop him from muttering as he got out of the water with the fishing poles in tow.

Jin glanced at him on the beach, and after looking at Miles' fishing pole, he started laughing even harder.

"Now what's so damn funny?" Miles called out. He noticed Jin pointing at his fishing pole. Attached to the hook, was a soggy boot. "Man.. it couldn't even be like.. a really large fish? At lease that would've made me look cool."

Jin was grinning as he met Miles on the beach. "We just... tell everyone was really big fish then. Not really wet boot."

Miles was smirking. "You're a good friend, Jin my man," he stated, smacking him on the back jokingly as they headed back for the barracks.

Ten minutes later they passed Sawyer and Juliet talking in the motor pool.

"Hey Enos, what happened to you?" Sawyer called out.

"Really big bootfish!" Jin called back for Miles. The two men continued laughing at the puzzled looks on their friends' faces. They had clearly assumed it was another English mistake and went back about their business.

Later that night...

"What card game we playin' tonight?" Sawyer questioned the other two men. Juliet had, instead, opt'd to go spend some girl time with Amy.

"Go bootfish," Jin decided with a grin.

Miles banged his head on the table.

Sawyer just looked baffled. It must be the Korean version, he thought with a shrug.

1975.

"Dude, there's just no way," Miles growled out. "She's gotta be cheating!"

Sawyer was grinning, because Juliet was a crap battleship player. But they'd come up with codes earlier and Jin was on an angle behind Miles signaling where she should go to sink his battleships.

"Man, you can't cheat at battleship," Sawyer informed him. "Besides I think ya'd notice if she were lookin' at yer' crap."

Miles heaved out a breath of frustration. "She's won six times!" he huffed. "It's just not right."

They were currently in the rec room and others were throwing glances of amusement, knowing Juliet was cheating with the help of Jin. The blonde was currently using the bathroom.

Miles was just about to peer over the top at her battleship board when the blonde's voice rang out.

"Miles you better not be trying to peek at my battleships."

He sat back in his seat and frowned. As soon as she sat down, she glanced up and said, "F5."

"Dammit!" Miles growled, banging his head on the table. When he lifted his head up he caught her looking at Jin. He glanced back to see the Korean signaling something. "Hey! Hey! You cheaters!"

Everyone in the rec room started laughing.

June 22,

1975.

She woke up with a start, not entirely sure why. She didn't remember a dream last night, but it must have been a bad one. She was breathing heavy, sweating, and she wasn't entirely sure what to think. She felt scared and she couldn't even figure out why. She glanced at the clock and realized it was only three in the morning. She took a deep breath and got off the bed.

Juliet wasn't sure how to explain why she ended up at his door. She stared at it momentarily before she cracked open the door and looked in. He was fast asleep and she didn't want to wake him up but she was too freaked out to go back to sleep. "James?"

Sawyer grunted, opened one eye and glanced over at the blonde in his doorway. He opened both eyes now and sat up, noticing the look on her face as one of confusion and fear. "You alright blondie?"

"Not sure..." she admitted, not moving from the doorway. "I think it was a dream I just.. don't really remember." Smoke. Lots of smoke, all around her. Surrounding her, engulfing her. Was it a dream? Or was it a memory? She finally entered his room, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

"Was just a dream," he assured her. He wasn't sure what to say to her, what to do for her.

"Could I..." and she stopped herself. She nearly asked to stay in here with him and she couldn't believe she'd almost done it. "Nevermind, I mean, thank you. I think I just needed to talk."

He watched as she stood and left the room. He frowned at the thought and it left him troubled. Because she'd barely talked at all. He heard the front door open and close. He watched through the window as she hurried towards Amy's house and gave a knock. Two minutes later the tired looking brunette opened the door.

There was little conversation before Juliet followed Amy inside. He wished he'd been able to think of something, but what was he supposed to say to her? He was half asleep and not entirely even sure what had just happened.

Hope you enjoyed the Miles and Jin fun! Told you I'd have the second half up soon! Here it is!
