Disclimer: I don't own LOST or th red jumpsuit apparatus
Warning: Adult conent
It was a stormy saturday afternoon and a frightened brunette girl was currently hiding under the blankets, only her bright green eyes shining out into the open. A crack of thunder cut through the dark clouds, making her quiver in fear. The bedroom door opened and light flooded into the room, revieling how messy it was. Clothes were strone everywhere, then laptop on the desk and half open, now turned off, empty beer cans were knocked over on the dresser beside the tv. A tall boy with wavy brown hair and warm chocolate eyes walked inside and looked around before making his way to the bedside.
"I'm sorry the power went out."He said and gently lowered the blanket from around her with a soft smile. "You don't have to be scared of the storm though you know..."
The girl leaned forward and wraped her arms around him, closing her eyes tightly. She had been horrified, watching the lightning strike down so close to Jacks house was bad enough, then the power went off. She had unplugged everything in his room so nothing would be hurt when the power came back on. She relaxed whe she felt her friends arms around her, rubbing her back comfotingly.
"Don't worry Katie."Jack told her soothingly, rocking her gently. "It's only a storm. I wont let anything happen, ok?"He pulled away from her. "Come on, smile for me?"He asked, touching her cheek.
Kate turned her eyes up to his face and found to hard to not smile. She tilted her head towards his hand a bit, smiling at him softly.
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
"There's that smile."Jack smiled back at her, running his thumb along her cheek bone. She had been through so much, so so much and yet she could still smile, smile just for him. That smile meant more then the world and made him want to weep for her. He wanted to cry out in agony with the love that was inside of him for her. He let go of her and stood up from the bed, holding his hands down to her. "Come on, Katie."He told her.
Kate looked from his hands to his face before taking them and standing as best she could. He bent and scooped her up in his arms bridal style. He walked over to her wheelchair and sat her down in it gently, knealing to look up at her. He kept his eyes off of her left leg justt for her, knowing she hated anyone to look at it. He didn't blame her, he would have hated it if half of his leg was missing as well. He took her hands lovingly and held onto them tightly, staring up into her eyes. Hesitantly, he let go of her and stood, walking around behind her and wheeling her out of his room and down the hall.
"Where are we going?"She asked, trying her best to see without the power. He stopped and turnd her chair, pushing her into the dinning room. Kate gasped and cupped her mouth with her hands, staring at the candlelit dinner that he had collected just for them. Tears filled her eyes and she looked up at him as he walked around her and drew her closer to the table.
"I hope you like it Kate." He told her, bending and picking her up, setting her in the chair beside his at the table. He turned and sat down, holding her hands again. "I love you very much. I hope you know that."He brught her hand to his lips then let the go and reached into his pocket."After everything that we've been through, I...don't think there's anything more I would want more then...for you to be my wife."He pulled the box from his pocket and slid from his chair, dropping to one knee as he opened it, revieling the beautiful ring that was stowed away inside. "Please say yes." He added.
"I'm glad that the weeks finally over."Jack sighed deeply, stretching his arms high over his head. "I was getting tired of dealing with my dad." She smiled cheekily from his spot alot the porch railing.
"Hey."Kate shot back, sitting on the porchswing opposite him. "You think you have it bad, Shephard? I'm still in school..."
Jack cut her off with a smirk. "You only have one more week of highchool what are you complaing about /Austen/?" He laughed and slid of the railing, sitting beside her and slipping his arm around her shoulder. "One more week, then we can blow this pop stand and never look back."He added and touched her chin gently. 'Just what we've always wanted." He leaned in and kissed her lips gently, pulling away only when he heard the screeching of tires.
"Shit..."Kate leapt to her feet, watching the old ford truck pull up to the house. "Jack.... It's time for you to go...."Her voice shook and she turned to look at him pleadingly.
Jack's eyes narrowed at the truck. "Not yet."He said, slowly standing was well. The drunked man climbed from his truck and slammed the door shut, pointing at Kate.
"What's /he/ doin' here?" he slurred with a frown, starting towards them menicingly. "I thought I told you to stay of my property, Boy."He stopped at the foot of the stairs and simply glared up at them. "And YOU."He hissed at Kate. 'You get your fat ass in the house and get me a beer."He walked up the steps and passed them into the house.
Kate letout a deep breath and closed her eyes, thankful that was the worst of it for now. She turned and looked at Jack. "Go."she mouthed, following Wayne inside. "Please go."She stopped at the door, glaning back at Wayne before she leant out and kissed his lips gently.
Jack touched her cheek lovingly and backed up towards the steps. "Call me later..."He said, praying this time she'd be able to.Last week Wayne had pulled the phone chord out, the week before that Kate had been in the hospital thanks to him. He turnd to walk away when the heard the door slam. He turned and frowned, heading the yelling inside. He walked back up the steps and stopped at the door.
"Where's my beer, Bitch?"Wayne snapped and there was a shatter, as if he had thrown something at her.
"Wayne don't! That was a birthday preasent!!"He heard Kate and frowned hatfully as he heard a thump. He could just picture that monster pushing her down to the ground.
"SHUT UP!"Wayne snapped and Kate suddenly cried out. That was when he threw the door open and stared in shock as Wane had her off the ground against the wall by her neck. He walked over and pushed him away. Having no balance, he fell over the coffee table. Jack grabbed ahold of his girlfriend before she could fall and lead her outside and to his car. "You can stay at my my house for the next week before we take off."He whispered as he drove away.
"Shh shhh, I'm sorry." Jack closed his eyes and burried his face into her brown curls, hugging her naked body against his as he rocked her slowly. "It's over, it's done, ok Baby?" He pulled back and looked down at her tear streaked face, gently running his thumbs along her cheeks to whipe them away. "We did it."
Kate nodded slowly, her breathing more calm now. She placed her hand on his bare chest and met his eyes as her other hand cupped his neck. "I love you."She breathed.
Jack nodded and laid his forehead against hers softly. "I love you too."He whispered before kissing her gently. He slowly, very slowly, pulled away from her and laid her back down against his pillow, taking his spot beside her and kissing her forehead. He ran his hand along her arm, lifting a rose pettle from her shoulder and gently dropping it behind her on the bed sheet with the others. "I love you."He repeated as he slid his arms around her, pulling her up against his chest, cradling her protectivly.
Minutes passed before he reached down, covering their bodies from the rest of the room. His arm slid around her again and he held her until she was lulled to sleep. He however, remained awake, watching her in her slumber. So beautiful, and even after what they had just done she was still so...so pure. Innocent, that was the word. Sleeping in a pile of rose pettles with her hair in curls around her head on the pillow, making her look like some sort of angel. She was beautiful and gracful and peacful and his love for her burned inside of him so much that it hurt him. Through the night he watched her, enchated as the moonlight shone down on her, covering in a silver and blue light that made her shine more then she aready did on a regular basis.
"GIVE MY THE NECKLESS LADY!!" the pain that shot through Kate's ribs made her cry out in pain and try to pull her body away from the gun barrol in her side.Her horrified eyes looked down at Jack, who was motionless on the ground, bleeding heavily from his head where he had been pistlewhipped unmericfully.
"No please." Kate begged, shaking her head. "Anything else, take anything else, not my neckless." He hand remaine clutched tightly around her heart diamon neckless Jack had given her for Christmas. "Please, take- take anything else!"
"There aint nothin' else in this whole damn house!"The thief growled and tried once more to get her to open her hand. "I'll fuckin' shoot you."He warned. "I swear to god I will, let go of it!" He pulled his gun away fro her side only to thrust it back in, bruising her bones. "Give it or.. or I'll kill him."He added and suddenly pointed the gun down at Jack.
"NO!!"Kate screamed instantly opening her hands and giving him her neckling. "Don't hurt him, please!"
"Heh.'the man smirked and plucked it from her fingers, shoving it into his pocket. 'Wonder what else I could get from you like that."He gave her a twisted smile and her eyes widened, horrified. "No..no please.'She pleaded, shaking her head.
"Ah hell hun, It'll only hurt till I'm done."He began touching her, forcing his mouth to hers so hard she couldn't even scream. It was then that Jack awoke, unknown to either the robber or Kate. He lifted his head in silence and watched the scene in disgust, slowly raising to his feet. He wobbled, more blood rushing from the wound in his head. He reached down and picked up a rock, one of the ones you get at gift stores with the purple gems inside. He turned to the man and drew his hand back, letting the rock slamm down into his head. The thief dropped like a stone and Kate tottered on her feet. When she realized she was free she ran for the phone.
Jack fell to his knees and held his head with a moan, trying to stem the bleeding from the gash in his head. His vision began blurring and the only thing he could see was Kate running back over to him and dropping down beside him.
"Jack!"She said, her eyes wide with fear as she looked at the blood driping down the side of his face. "I called 911 Jack, don't worry ok?" She slid her arms around him, praying that he would be ok.
Jack shook his head slightly and looked down in silence, trying to block out the sharp pain shooting through his skull. He lifted his gaze back to Kate and touched her cheek gently,unknowingly leaving a smudge of his own blood there. "Are you ok?"He asked, his words slurred and hoarse.
Kate relieced him and placed bothof her hands over his, leaning her head against his touch as she nodded. "I'm ok."she assured him.
"We need an IV and a tourniquite, stat!" Ordered a loud voice. Jack winced at the bump his stretcher hit on the way to the ambulance. H slowl opened his eyes an stared in shock at the chaos before him. Car piled ontop of car, the rail at the side of the overpass was broken apart and he could hear people yelling for an air lift for the peole who had driven ovr the side.
It hit him then. Kate!
The yound man began thrashing, trying to unhook himself from the stretcher. He had to find Kate, the semi had hit her side of the car, he had to find her and make sureshe was alright.
"Easy, easy buddy..."The paramedic said, pushing him down. "You need to lay still, you puncured your lung..."
"Kate!"Jack managed to gasp out before he fell into a coughing fit, drops of blood rising from his throat. He looked over in renewed silence as he watchd them tear his car apart and pulled a woman out from under the semi.
"She's not breathing."One man said as they laid her down on the ground. He watched them check for a pulse,watched them preform CPR, watched them drape the blanket over her dead body.
Tears sprang to his eyes as he watched then cover her, she was dead, gone forever. Oh god...Kate's best friend was gone forever. He heard sceaming and turned his head, watching them pull a second woman from the car. Her leg, fromthe knee know, was soaked in blood, hangingon only by a few bits of bone and catalige. He wanted to vomit. He wanted to vomit, jump up and hold her and cry all at the same time.
"Poor woman."The prarmedic beside him siad as they loaded him inside. "That leg will have to go, I feel bad for her." The doors closed.
Tears sprang to her eyes and Kate nodded quickly, leaning forward and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Yes yes!"She sobbed. "I'll marry you Jack, I will!!"
Jack smiled broadly and hugged her back, closing his eyes and a tearul laugh. Thak God. Oh thank God thank God. "I love you."He pulled back and cupped her face, kissing her lips gently. "I love you so much."
Kate smiled brighty. "I love you too." She said, nodding.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Waves are crashing
