And she could, she could help, at least she thought so. Juliet tried to deflect the people on her way, another tear ran down her face, she was sweating, her heart was pounding and her throat was dry.
- Where is he? Jack! Is he okay?! - Juliet finally reached the "bed" Jack was lying on.
- Juliet! What do we do? We used the gunpowder but...
- He... We need... – she couldn't focused on what she was saying as she looked at him, pale, shivering, sweating, she had never saw him like that. - What happened? - Juliet put her hand on his forehead and frowned as she could feel his pain.
Everyone looked at Kate and Sawyer, James looked straight to Kate, trying to get an explanation, at last.
- I don't know, we were walking here, I heard a noise and when I looked back he was lying on the floor and all that blood-
- I need towels, a lot of them, and some alcohol too...
Jin raised his hand signaling he was on it.
Juliet used her thumb to get the insignificant rest of the powder away, another tear ran down and hit Jack's cheek, she wiped it so the people around wouldn't see it and become more frightened, suddenly he opened one of his eye's at a time, slowly, looked at Juliet's blue eyes, loaded with tears and whispered with a short breath:
- Violet... She forgives you...
Those were Jack's last words. When Juliet realized, he wasn't breathing she fell to her knees, held his hand, squeezed it, wiped her tears on the end of his shirt, there was nothing she could do, she needed an OR, a neurosurgeon, a crash car, there was nothing she could have done, but she didn't believe that, she whispered in despair:
- No... Jack please, don't do this to me... You're all I have...
Kate looked straight to Jack's face, he looked peaceful, at last. She covered her eyes with her blood wet hands, that little groan of lament, howl, yawl... She looked back and bumped on Sawyer's chest, where she instinctively buried her face while he strained his big and muscled arms around her. Everyone was looking at Juliet, she regained strength and out of nowhere got up and ran out of the cave into the jungle. The silence was deadly, everyone was in shock, they didn't know what to do, or what to say, Claire was sobbing as Charlie held her, Bernard covered Rose's face so she wouldn't be scared for life.
A few hours later on the doctor's funeral, everyone payed their condolences. Each one of the passengers said something and threw some sand on top of his body. Hurley and Libby, Jin and Sun, Juliet, Sawyer and Kate stayed until the end, after the burial. Even Sawyer told some stories about their adventures together, it's not like they've knew each other for long, but this short time they were together was precious, and the survivors of Oceanic 815 couldn't have been more grateful for Jack's help and kindness towards everyone. Kate told the others about the day of the crash when she stitched Jack up, Hurey said how grateful he was for having such a good doctor around, and a good friend too. "That must have been the saddest day we had since we got here, everyone is a little depressed, desperate for sure, now we only have Juliet, although she is a doctor she can't do half of the things Jack could do. Things are going to be different from now on, for every one of us" Claire wrote on her diary, looked across the ocean and picked Aaron up as he cried, saying:
- Yes, this is life now honey...
The baby cried louder:
- No, sweetie, don't worry, we'll be okay, we're all going to be okay...
Even though no one could say that for sure, they had to believe, and after all, hope is the last feeling to die.
