James comes out of the Police station and drives away. Juliet still hasn't found a way to talk to him. She follows him at a short distance, hoping that something will dawn upon her. He gets to a house. Perhaps he lives there. Juliet remembers the address, mostly because of old 'Other' habits rather than for some other reason.
After half an hour, Juliet starts thinking that if this is really his house, he may not come out again today. Suddenly her phone rings. The sudden sound makes her jump and she hits her head.
-Son of a bitch! - She mutters, rubbing her head and reaching for the phone.
-Hello-
-Juliet-
-Rachel -Juliet breaks into a smile. Right now, her older sister would be the most useful person to call.
–It's good that you called.-
-Wow, did you accidentally hit your head? Because it's a first time that you're glad I called. – Rachel says sarcastically.
-Yes, I did hit my head accidentally, but no, it isn't the reason I'm glad you called. I need your help, sis.-
-I just knew that there must be something else- Rachel grumbles, but Juliet is sure that there is a huge smile on her sister's face.-And what do you need from me? I have to warn you I have no more friends who are lawyers? -
-Don't worry, I don't need any more lawyers. And by the way thank you very much from both, me and Jack. Ilana is great. -
-You're welcome. But I'm still waiting for you to explain to me what's going on.-
Juliet hesitates. On the one hand she doesn't want to tell Rachel about Jack, Kate and the rest, but on the other hand, she needs her help with James.
-Do you remember what we talked about when you came to LA? -
-Yes-
-I changed my mind. I don't know how or why all of this happened, but this is my chance to be happy. -
Rachel is silent for a while and then she says -And what about Jack? -
-He remembered, too.-Juliet pauses, not knowing whether to add something else or not.
-I see, and then I guess there is no problem now. After all, as I understand it, in that other life, you weren't a couple. -
-Yes-
-Apparently, Ilana is helping Jack's girl?- Rachel continues to reason aloud- because I doubt Mr. Ford could get into trouble in such a short period of time.-
-You're right-
Juliet sighs with relief, glad that Rachel understood everything by herself.
-Well, I can't say that I understand any of it, or that I don't think it's science fiction, but if you and Jack will be happy at the end, who am I to disturb you?-
-Thanks Rach. Your support is very important to me.-
-No problem. By the way, what did you want to ask me? -
-It has to do with James-
-What a surprise-Rachel laughs- Could you be more specific? -
-I don't know how to start our conversation. I considered my options on how to tell him the truth, and none of them are suitable, because, at best, he'll decide that I'm crazy. -
-Well, it's really a problem, considering how absurd it sounded when you told me about it. And how did you manage to tell Jack about it? -
-It was absolutely different with him. He began remembering himself. All I had to do was just accelerated the process. And don't forger we are married, so it's not the same as if Jack was learned about the Island from some unknown woman. -
-I understand-Rachel pauses thinking about possible solutions.-Then you have to stop being an unknown woman for him. - She says finally.
-What?-
-Sometimes, if you don't see a way to do something, then it really doesn't exist. Don't hurry things. Let him remember himself, as Jack did and try to be there when it happens. -
Don't press him, just continue communication. She'll help him remember, or make him fall in love with her again. It's so obvious.
-Thank you Rachel, you're a genius. -
-I know.-she chuckles.- I'm sure you are eager to start acting, just tell me later how everything went.-Surely-
A/N: Well, we finally came to their long-waited conversation. Hope you are still interested in this story, we are almost at the end of it. As always, please, tell me what do you think, your reviews make my day.
