Getting Help

Authors note: Thanks for the reviews! I don't own Lost. Btw, sorry this chapter is so late; things have been kind of crazy for me. 

"So Kate how are you feeling today?" Dr. Johnson asked her.

"I'm feeling a little bit better," Kate said smiling.

"Jack told me that you have been a little sad lately," he told her, "do you want to talk about it?"

"No I think I'm fine," she said refusing to talk about what was going on with her.

"I think we need to talk about it," the doctor said to her as if he were talking to a child.

"There is nothing to talk about," Kate told him, "I told you I am fine."

"Kate I know that losing the baby was hard on you," the doctor began, "but you can't shut everyone out like this." "You have to continue to live your life, no matter how hard that might be."

"I'm fine," Kate said stubbornly, "there is nothing wrong with me."

"Then why did you run off to your ex-boyfriends house?" He asked her as she began to look away from him.

"I just wanted to see him," she said, "we are still good friends."

"Okay, then why are you not eating?" he questioned hoping to get an answer. "Jack said that you are refusing to eat," he told her.

"I am eating," she lied, "just because Jack doesn't see me doesn't mean that I'm not eating." "Jack is just overprotective," Kate told him, "he is just freaking out, I'm fine."

"Well it looks like our time is up, so I will see you next week," Dr Johnson told he as he began to walk her back out to where Jack was waiting.

"Next week?" She asked him with a shocked look on her face.

"That is when Jack scheduled your next appointment," He told her.

"I don't think I will be needing another appointment," Kate said politely, "I am doing just fine."

"We will let Jack make the finally decision about that," The doctor smiled at her as they finally reached the waiting room.

"Thank you so much Dr. Johnson for taking the time to talk to her," Jack told him as he shook his hand.

"It was no problem," the doctor answered him, "she may try to convince you that she doesn't need to come back, but she does, so don't let her fool you."

"Thanks for the warning," Jack told him as he made his way over to Kate.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked her.

"Yes, I just want to go home," She replied almost in a whisper.

The walk to their car was only ten minutes, but for Kate it felt like an eternity. She couldn't believe that Jack thought she was crazy, he was going to be watching everything she was doing, he was never going to give her space.

"Are you okay?" he asked her as he grabbed her hand pulling her from her thoughts.

"I'm fine," she said as she continued to look out the window instead of at him.

"What's going on?" He asked again not wanting to give up until he got an answer.

"I can't believe that you think I'm crazy," she snapped at him as she pulled her hand away from his.

"What are you talking about?" He asked her a little taken back by how she was acting.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, you make me go see a doctor because I'm a little sad and I'm not eating as much as you want me too!" she yelled at him as she felt the tears began to fall.

"It's not like that Kate," He said trying to get her to calm down, "I just want to make sure you are okay."

"Why because you think something's wrong with me?" She questioned him.

"You just haven't been yourself lately, and I just wanted to help you," He told her.

"I don't need your help," She told him, "I don't need anyone's help."

"You are still going back to see Dr. Johnson," He told her now starting to lose his cool with her.

"You can't make me!" She screamed at him.

"Kate you are going back to see Dr. Johnson," He told her once again trying to get his anger under control. "If it will make you feel better I will go in with you next time."

"Just leave me alone," she whispered.

The rest of the drive home was quiet, Kate refused to even look at Jack, and she continued to look out the window. Inside Jacks heart was breaking, he knew why she was doing this, she was hurt he couldn't blame her for that, but he couldn't figure out why was she refusing help. He knew that if he didn't get her under control soon he was going to have to put her in the hospital for a few days.

He knew that she wasn't eating, the night he fixed her soup he had heard her flush it down the toilet and he knew if he didn't stop this soon she was going to develop a serious eating disorder. No matter how hard she tried to convince him that she was fine, he wouldn't believe her, he knew that this was not his Kate the one he had fell in love with years ago.

When they finally reached the house, Kate made her way to their bedroom and locked the door behind her; she refused to let Jack in no matter what.

"Kate, please let me in," Jack pleaded with her as he stood outside their bedroom, "I'm sorry about all of this."

"Please believe me Jack," She said through her sobs, "I'm not crazy."

"I know, you're not crazy," he told her as he saw the door began to open revealing a sad looking Kate.

"You're not crazy, I just want you to be okay that's why I'm trying to help you." He told her as he pulled her into a hug.

"Okay," she said, "I will get help, I'm going to get better, I promise."

Authors note: Please let me know what you think. Next few chapters Kate is going to hit rock bottom, and then there will be a big turn around. Next chapter Kate eating disorder gets worse and Jack had to make a hard decision about getting her help. Once again sorry for the long wait I hope to have the next chapter up by the weekend.
