Chapter 13: Sawyer falls in love.

Kate was sitting with outside Kate's tent. It was bright sunny day and the babies where enjoying them selves in the sand. Jack and Kate where talking about their Jr. High experiences when Claire strolled up.

'And I was stuck in the locker for the rest of the day.' Jack concluded and Kate burst out laughing. Jack rolled his eyes at her and looked at Claire who was standing in front of them, holding Aaron. She looked concerned. Jack stood up to let Claire sit down in the airplane seat. Kate stopped laughing when she noticed Claire's worried face. Jack stroked his little sister's cheek. 'What's wrong?' He asked. Claire brushed his hand away and turned to Kate.

'What's up with Sawyer?' Claire asked. Kate just started at her with confusion. 'He's been all tense lately and I don't know why.'

'I'm not sure…' Kate trailed off and looked at Jack who looked just as confused. 'Sawyers fine around us.' She said. Claire sighed and slumped.

'Okay, because he's been giving me the cold shoulder lately and I don't like it.' Claire said sadly. 'I mean…you know…how things between us,' she smiled softly 'were becoming friendlier.'

Kate's face fell and she looked at Jack. Jack looked right back. 'Claire, I think Sawyer maybe…eh…doesn't have feelings for you in that way.' Kate told her gently. Claire's eyes widened.

'What do you mean?' She asked in alarm. 'Who does he have feelings for then?' Jack took Claire's hands in his and rubbed them.

'Brandy.' He said.

Jack was mad. Jack was really mad. How dare Sawyer lead Claire on like that! Once Claire had found out about Brandy she had burst into tears and cried on Kate's shoulder while Kate looked at Jack with sadness in her eyes.

Jack saw Sawyer sitting outside his tent. The sun was setting and Sawyer was just starting a new book. Jack sat down and Sawyer looked up at him. Jack deiced to do this slowly.

'So, ah, Brandy's a cutie isn't she?' Jack smiled at Sawyer. Sawyer raised his eyebrows and grinned.

'You're not worried if Freckles hears you.' Sawyer observed. Jack rolled his eyes. 'Yeah, she's pretty cute.'

'Are you…eh…planning…on making a move?' He asked. Sawyer frowned.

'Why?' He was very suspicious.

'Isn't she a bit young?' Jack asked. He squinted and turned his head. Sawyer looked at the ground.

'This has to do with Claire, doesn't it?' He asked angrily. Jack put his hands up in front of him. He looked at Sawyer with a clam face.

'Look, it's not like that, she's my little sister and she's hurt, Sawyer. I'm looking out for her. I just want you to explain to her that you didn't mean to lead her on like you did.' Jack explained softly. Sawyer sighed and leaned backwards in his chair.

'I didn't lead her on.' Jack was about to object but Sawyer interrupted him. 'I do care about her alright, doc?' Sawyer rubbed his eyes tiredly. 'But now that Brandy's here I can't tell lust from love. Like, with Freckles, I knew it was lust. With Claire I thought it was love. Now I don't know if it was only lust with her and I love Brandy or that I lust after Brandy but love Claire.' Sawyer confessed going red.

Normally Jack would have burst on laughing if he had heard someone getting lust and love this mixed up. Jack had always been able to tell the two apart. But Sawyer looked so defeated and sad that Jack couldn't do that.

'Well, you better figure it out man, Claire's really heart broken.' Jack told him. 'I think you should be with Claire, she loves you man.'

'Don't tell me who I can and can't not be with, Jack.' Sawyer snapped. 'I care that Claire's hurt ok? But I also care about Brandy. Now just give me the night to work on this.'

'Brandy?' Sawyer whispered moving around the camp later that night. It was pitch black and he didn't know where her tent was. 'Brandy?' He whispered again then slammed his foot into a piece of airplane. 'Dam it Brandy where the hell are you?!'

'Sawyer?' She whispered coming out of a near by tent. 'What's wrong?' She asked approaching her. Sawyer studied her face in the dark. She was cute, and she was beautiful.

'Nothing.' Sawyer growled before grabbing her face and kissing it forcefully. Brandy whimpered and moaned while Sawyer prided her mouth open with his tongue.

'Oh, Sawyer…' She murmured. Sawyer was kissing her senseless. His arms rapped around her waist tightly and then one hand grabbed her but firmly. She gasped against his mouth and pressed her breasts against his firm chest. Sawyer ripped his mouth away and Brandy rested her head on his chest, both breathing deeply.

Sawyer knew then, it was a lot more then lust.

Jack approached Sawyer again then next morning. Sawyer grinned. 'You have it figured out.' Sawyer nodded and was about to open his mouth when a scream came from the jungle.

'SAWYER!'

Then the jungle began to rustles as the "monster" moved about. Then it was silence. Sawyer sat, rigged with fear then he whispered. 'That was Brandy.'

Ok. Sorry I didn't get to the Ana part. But I hope more people review then last time!:'( Please guys? You no likey no more?

What will happen to Brandy? Will Ana succeed in breaking Jack and Kate up? What happenes when someone falls freakisly ill?
