"Sometimes things find when you need them to find you, I believe that. And for me it's usually song lyrics"
It was about 8 and the girls were at the cafe wondering where in the world the guys where."Aren't the girls supposed to be late"Shannon expressed ,the three other girls nodded.
"So Kate how was your first day?" Libby asked
"Great, I love my classes and the teachers are great" She smiled
They all laughed "Not what we meant Kate" Shannon winked
Kate just glared at them " Yeah , Do you got your eye on someone?" Claire asked
Just than they heard the bell ring and noticed the guys walking in. Sayid walked up and kissed Shannon on the cheek.Claire and Charlie shared a smile ,Hurley and Libby a hug.
"Where's Jack?" Kate asked trying to hide the disappointment in her voice
"Oh He's just getting the gear from the car" Charlie explained "I better go help him" and with that he left to help out.
Claire nudged Kate's shoulder" Scared he wasn't coming?" She gave her a wink.Kate looked down at her feet and gave a smile embaressed that Claire had caught on." I guess i got a answer to my question huh?" She said more as a statement. Jack and Charlie walked in and set the stuff down'Yea you just might Claire' She thinks to herself.
About 20 minutes later Kate sitting at the booth sipping a orange soda." Hey" She turns around and sees Jack " This seat taken" All she can do is shake her head so he sits down."So why you sitting here when we are all over there" he chuckled. "Just think that im glad am here" she smiled at him.' god she has a beautiful smile' he thought and before he could think it over he said " yeah me too" they just stared at each other for a while until a british voice broke their gaze.
"JACK! Lets go man" Charlie was up on the little platform at the back of the cafe.Tonight was open mic night,it was kinda tradition that they went there and sang,they were one of the good acts." I better go" Jack tells her and walks off to see Charlie.
Kate wonders back to the group " Jack plays Guitar?" She asked no one really. " Hes Not Bad" Claire said too. " He sings the harmonys too" Sayid added.Than the music started and they stopped talking and listened.
Told you I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well I'm done
With awkward situations empty conversations
"Charlie's good" Kate said kinda surprised " yeah he thinks hes gonna be a rock god sometime" Claire told her " We let him dream" Shannon added and they all laughed.
Ooh! This is an S.O.S.
Don't want a second guess,
This is the bottom line
It's true!
I gave my all for you,
now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass,
better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get
"Jack wrote this" Hurley said ,Kate looked very surprised " About that no good, you know what Sarah" She weined out her name.Kate looked confused
So this is where the story ends
A conversation on IM
Well I'm done
with Texting,
Sorry for the miscommunication
"Jack's ex" Claire stated but Kate still didnt look satisfied "She left him" she added
Ooh! This is an S.O.S.
Don't want a second guess,
This is the bottom line
It's true!
I gave my all for you,
now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass,
better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get
She went back to watching Jack and Charlie, But mostly Jack. ' Why in the world would someone leave him' She thought.
Next time I see you
I'm giving you a high five
cause hugs are over rated, just FYI
" She cheated on him,This is kinda is way of venting getting over,turns out to be a pretty awsome some" She said with a himt of humor. Kate nodded
Watching him again she couldnt figure it out, why would someone do that? He seems so perfect.' i already don't like this girl ' she thought with a laugh.
Ooh! This is an S.O.S.

As the song ended they all clapped.Jack went right to Kate. " So.. Come on give it to me,i can handle it" he said grinning. " It was awsome, you really wrote that?" She asked He raised her eyebrow " Claire told me" .
" Oh" he knew she had to have told her about sarah. Changing the subject she said " Lets play a game Jack" He looked interested so she continued " Lets get to know each other a little better" They were sitting alone in a corner booth away from everyone. He nodded so they started.
She learned that his favorite color was green and that the one thing he got from his dad was his eyes' she wasnt sure what he meant from that but didnt ask' She also learned that he didnt think he could fall in love again , He was born on the 17th , He played football and basketball.Claire was his sister ' big shocker she thought'.
" You know you should sing something next friday" He told her
"Yeah right, i cant sing" She laughed
" Everyone can sing Kate, To make it good it's just gotta come from your heart" He said
Kate smiled at him amazed at the way he thought and surprised at how he made her feel like she could do anything.
"KATE! Let's go were leaving, Your gonna miss your ride" Shannon yelled
Jack and Kate laughed. " you know it's a nice night, wanna walk?" Jack asked nerveously
" I'd like that"Kate smiled. They got up and walked to the door " We're gonna walk" Jack said to the others as they waved them off.
Jack and Kate walked as they talked about school and the night. " This is me" Kate said pointing at the house with the newly painted red door." Yup , I uhh had fun Kate" Jack rocked back and forth and rubbed his hand threw his chopped hair , something he did when he didnt know what to do Kate noticed. She walked closer and gave him a hug, a warm gentle hug, it took him a minute but he hugged back.They said goodbyes. Before Kate got her door Jack called out " Kate see you next friday with a song?" he asksed kindly.She smiled back at him " You bet" she smiled and went inside.
She quickly closed the door and leaned against it ' why am i getting butterflies we just met' she thought and smiled to herself.
Meanwhile Jacks walking down the street to his house thinking ' what is this girl doing to me we just met'
