" I
don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I
don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We
might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be
living in a different world
We might as well
We might as
well
We might as well"

…"You're not like that. James please, give me the gun." Juliet aspirated pretty calm. Sawyer smirked. "Yeah, so you can throw me over your shoulder and put me back into that stupid cage? No way!" He kissed her cheek lightly and Juliet turned her head in disgust. "And isn't it quiet cosy in here?" Sawyer was pointing with the gun between the two of them. "Cuddly." She felt his hot breath on her skin and it gave her shivers down her spine. Juliet rolled her eyes, she wasn't scared at all. She just had no clue why he'd make her feel that way.
"Hey, hey, hey. Ain't gonna work that way. I'm being serious here." Sawyer called out after one of the guys took a few steps forward still pointing the gun at him, like all the others around him. "Sawyer, please!" Kate shouted still struggling with Danny. Kate knew Sawyer could never win this game. They were far too much. Sawyer ignored her enjoying the sensation of having Juliet in his arms. He'd already missed it and even if was under quite uncomfortable circumstances he enjoyed every second. Juliet on the other hand visibly didn't.
"Swear to god, I'll shoot her." Sawyer tried to convince them again that he was serious. Nervously they looked at each other and somebody then lowered his gun. "C'mon this is insane. Get your guns down." The man said. Danny gave him a dead stare. "Shut up! I'm the one that gives the instructions here." He shouted. "Who says that?" another man pointed out angrily. They all stopped as Juliet's voice resounded more then annoyed. "Guys! That isn't the right time for fighting."
"Yeah, listen to Barbie here." Sawyer comment. He couldn't believe that those guys were fighting now he held a gun to one of them. Such idiots. They weren't even caring about her, not even a little bit. Were they?
"Got some nice friends there, Juliet." Juliet was confused once again, her head was spinning.
"So now what? Wanna see her die or will ya finally put that damn guns down." Sawyer shouted now obviously pissed. This wasn't the way he'd planed it. Danny began laughing then. And everybody was eying him confused.
"What's so funny?" Sawyer hissed. Kate looked up to Danny. She got scared as she saw that evil spark in his eyes. And she already knew what was coming next. "Kill her and I'm gonna kill your little friend here." Danny grinned dangerously putting a gun to Kate's head either.
Sawyer hadn't thought about that and now he was the one feeling quite uncomfortable.
"Sawyer." Kate called out desperately.
"Let her go." Sawyer snarled, pressing the gun firmer to Juliet's forehead. "James, you're not like that. Don't do this. You don't have to, just give me the gun." Juliet said calm, but he could still feel her pulse raising.
It was strange how easily Juliet could read him, how easily she could convince him within a second. How easily she could talk him into something. It felt like his arm wasn't his anymore as he let go of the gun, that dropped to the ground with a thud, his eyes never leaving Kate's fear filled ones. So he forgot everything around him and Juliet used the opportunity to turn and kicked him into the stomach with one of her knees. Sawyer fell to the ground, holding his stomach. Man she still knew how to hurt people. "Sorry, James." She mumbled not knowing why she even apologised for her actions. That man had held a gun to her head, hello.
Sawyer grabbed her left leg and pulled her down so she fell right on top of him. She wanted to get up, but when he looked at her. When he looked her in the eyes like he did that moment, she froze dead in her tracks. Her head was spinning again. There was nothing left but those eyes. She knew those eyes. She just didn't know when or where she had seen them before. Those eyes haunted her in her dreams. "From where do I know you only?" she whispered questioningly. Sawyer grinned through the pain and pulled her back into a light, but intense kiss. She closed her eyes slightly. Why did it feel so normal, so familiar? Like she'd never done anything else.
Hard to believe this all happened within a few seconds as they pulled her away from him, her eyes never leaving his. "Juliet" It may have sounded desperate but he was scared. Scared he'd lose her once again, as her hand let go of his grasp. And then that unbearable pain again, it shot through every vein.
Convulsed with pain he was watching her, looking at him compassionate. They grabbed him and Kate, pointing guns to their backs and pushed them around. "You better leave her alone. Son of a bitch." The guy that had flirted with Juliet hissed. Sawyer felt too weak to talk and he was tired of fighting against the pain, so he preferred to keep his mouth shut. From the inside on the other hand he could've punched this guy in the face. What was he even flirting with her, when he didn't care about her life after all. All of them were giving a shit about Juliet. They would have let her die. "Shut up." Kate defended trying to get to him, but two other guys held her from scratching the man's eyes out. "Its okay, Freckles." Sawyer then whispered softly and she gave him a weak smile.
Juliet was watching them, her face expressionless again. Her head was spinning, she put her hand to her forehead as white lights flashed in front of her eyes and blurred pictures passed them. She thought she was going to get crazy as she then heard voices coming from the inside of her head. They echoed loudly silencing everything around her.
"I got you."
"Sawyer!"
"Don't you leave me."
"It's okay."
"Don't you leave me. You, hold on"
"I love you."
"No, you don't let go."
"I love you, James."
"No."
"I love you so much."
"No! No. No. No. Juliet! No!"
The horrible scenery finally ended but Juliet could still hear the screams in her head, the crying and terrible creepy noises. She didn't notice she sank to the ground holding both of her hands over her ears. Even if she didn't see anything clearly she could still make out that one of that had been her. It was her voice. She was crying, telling somebody how much she loved him. But she couldn't quite make out who the other ones were, though their voices sounded familiar to her. Tears streamed down her face. Juliet had no clue why she was crying. She was seriously getting crazy now.
"You okay, Julie?" Tom asked pulling her up to her feet again.
"I-I-I'm …yeah. Just… just got a little headache. I think I might lay down for a while." She spluttered, holding her head. "You sure, you're okay?" Tom mustered her strangely.
"Yeah. Uhm don't worry." Juliet faked a smile and walked away. Followed by 20 pair of eyes.
