What do you want?
I’d like to talk to you about Shannon. It’s very possible your sister and I are going to become more than just friends.
What is this, some middle eastern thing?
You want my blessing or something?
My hope is you won’t object.

READY. SET. GO.
Kate turned on her heel just in time for her to witness a branch hit Boone smack the center of his forehead. She couldn’t help but giggle a little bit, a soft laugh rising in her throat as she met the man’s eyes.“Are we there yet?”
“Mhmm,” She hummed, her bottom lip still in between her teeth. She walked over to Boone and put her hands over his eyes, prompting him to move forward with a tiny kick to the back of his ankle. “Just a little bit farther, okay?” She led him forward, watching the ground in front of him, making sure that he wouldn’t trip again.
“Just a little bit farther, okay?”
Boone now walked with hands over his eyes. This time he walked more carefully. He could feel his eyelashes touching Kate’s soft hands every few seconds. “How long will we be walking like this?” Boone asked watching his feet closely as they walked. “Hello? Kate?” He said when Kate didn’t answer.“How long will we be walking like this?”
Kate laughed softly and skirted around Boone, so that she could pulling away some greenery, revealing the place they’d been walking towards.
The waterfall was just as gorgeous as she remembered it. Of course, the last time she’d been in this spot, it had been with Sawyer, but that didn’t change anything about the beauty of the small lake. The water was still that deep green color; the one that matched her eyes. The cliff they both had jumped off was still just as high, though the sky might’ve been a deeper shade of blue.
The brunette sighed softly, forgetting Boone was even there for a moment as she got lost in her own mind.
“Hello? Kate?”
She smiled and took a deep breath. “Open your eyes.”
Boone opened his eyes, and his breath was taken away. It was beautiful. The sound of the waterfall put Boone at ease. A huge smile spread across Boone’s face. He slowly put his arm around Kate. “Wow.” This was all Boone could spit out.
“So.. You up for a swim?” Boone asked pulling Kate close and making his grip tight. He smiled his famous Boone smile at Kate hoping she would say yes. 
The beauty in this place almost made Boone like the island. Even after everything that had happened.
“I can’t stay here tonight.”“Well, I’m not leaving you alone,” She countered, speaking immediately after he was finished. She snapped her head to the side, looking Boone in the eye with her smile still on her face. Then, without hesitation, she stood up and walked directly in front of him, her eyes brighter than the sun. “Come on,” She said softly, extending her arm and offering her hand to him. “Let me show you something.”
Boone stood up and silently followed behind Kate. He felt a warm smile spread across his face. Kate was unlike most girls he knew. Most girls he knew were just like Shannon. Not Kate. Kate was the one leading her way through the jungle. Most “missions” she was always on them. She was brave and Boone looked up to Kate.
“Where is it that we’re going?” Boone asked after they had been walking awhile.Kate looked over her shoulder, grinning at the man tailing along behind her. She was never any good at planning surprises, as for most of her life, she’d been a terrible liar, always giggling when it came time to twist the truth. But this time, she knew, she’d probably sweep Boone right off his feet. She was taking him to a place only she and one other person knew about. And though it could be argued, Kate thought it was the most beautiful spot on the entire island.
“It’s a surprise,” She replied happily. “We’re almost there.”
Boone laughed, a happy chuckle it was. He hadn’t had a surprise.. Well ever. At-least not a good one. As Kate slowed down, Boone grew anxious. So anxious that his feet tumbled from underneath him and just as he was about to fall he caught himself. Lifting his head quickly he ran into a branch. He pushed past it and rubbed his head. “Are we there yet?”

“I am looking for a place to start and everything feels so different now.”
“Just a grab a hold of my hand I will lead you through this wonderland.”
“Water up to my knees, the sharks are swimming in the sea.”
“Just follow my yellow light and ignore all those big warning signs.”
“I can’t stay here tonight.”“Well, I’m not leaving you alone,” She countered, speaking immediately after he was finished.

He pushed past it and rubbed his head. “Are we there yet?”
“We fix you.”
She sounded so confident with her words. Fix him? How was this even possible. Not only was Boone slowly going mad on this island.. He was also now resulting to suicide.
“How do we.. fix me?” Boone asked.. He sat silently and studied Kate’s face. Boone was usually good at reading face’s to know what the person was thinking. He saw Kate was deep in thought on how exactly they would fix him.“I can’t stay here tonight.” Boone said staring at the ocean. He couldn’t deal with her questions and taunting.. Not tonight. He would sleep in the woods if he had to.
“I can’t stay here tonight.”

“Where is it that we’re going?” Boone asked after they had been walking awhile.
Boone watched as Jack walked away, then he turned to Kate. The two sat in silence for a moment. Boone tried to comprehend all that had just happened. He had actually tried to commit suicide. This was nothing like him.
Right now he almost felt guilt. Boone looked down scratching the back of his head, then slowly lifting his head up and meeting Kate’s eyes. “What happens now?”
Where would they go from this? How could Boone get better? Boone had no idea what would or could happen now. He hadn’t planned for this, he had planned for his days to be over.In response to Boone’s question, Kate smiled and scooted closer to him. She rubbed her hands together as she leaned forward slightly, deeply breathing in the damp air of the caves. Air filled her lungs, and she looked out ahead of her as she slowly exhaled, feeling totally calm. Then she turned to face him, and nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth still upturned in a tiny grin.
“What happens now?”
“We fix you.”
She said those four words as if they were nothing, as if she’d just told Boone that she was going into the jungle to pick some fruit. Why? Well, that’s easy. She knew she could do it - that she would do it. She’d help him remember that there was more to life than his sister. She’d heal whatever wounds he might have on his soul, and she’d make it so that the scars would heal completely.
She’d save him not once, but twice.
“We fix you.”
She sounded so confident with her words. Fix him? How was this even possible. Not only was Boone slowly going mad on this island.. He was also now resulting to suicide.
“How do we.. fix me?” Boone asked.. He sat silently and studied Kate’s face. Boone was usually good at reading face’s to know what the person was thinking. He saw Kate was deep in thought on how exactly they would fix him.

Ben raised his eyebrows at Boone’s choice of question. The man had been in the position to ask Ben anything, anything, and he asked where Ben lived? More surprisingly, Boone looked… confident, as if Ben had no choice but to tell the truth.
With a small laugh and a sarcastic, omniscient tone, Ben spoke.
“We live on the island. But I’m guessing you didn’t come all the way out here to ask me where I live.” He eyed Boone. “Why are you here, Boone?”
Boone glanced to the ground. He hadn’t really known why he had came. He just knew he had to see Ben again. Boone racked his brain for an answer. Boone kicked at the ground slightly.
“Take me to where you live,” Boone demanded.
He wanted to see where they live. How they knew so much. Also how they always knew where everyone on the island was and what they were doing.A look of confident disbelief crossed Ben’s face. Boone was acting like he actually expected Ben to jump up and show him exactly where his people lived. How could the man ever expect that?
After a long moment, Ben finally dropped his gaze, shaking his head slightly.
“We both know I’m not going to do that.”
His eyes now bore into Boone’s. “So why are you here, Boone?”
Boone sat on the ground and grabbed his water bottle. He was silent, opening his bottle and taking a big drink. He squinted up to Ben who was watching him silently. “Just forget it.. Go one back home to where ever the hell it is you live.”
Boone twisted his cap back on the water bottle. A few long seconds went by and Ben nor Boone had moved an inch.
