I feel like I knew you

It was later and a bit before the ceremony or whatever we were calling it. Michael, Kate and the man who's name I learned had come back from hunting boar. I had helped Michael, with his left. He got banged up pretty bad.

I was cleaning up when I saw Jack walking towards me. "How was Michaels leg?". I looked up at him and let out a small smile. "It was ok". He smiled back at me and sat down. I figured I should too so I sat down next to him. "You know I was thinking and I was doing a lot of it because recently I had this feeling that we knew each other".

I looked at him confused and pointed out the fact we were sitting next to each other. He looked up at me with a small smile. "No, no not here, you are a nurse who was also going to LA. And something about you felt familiar to me." I looked up at him. "Is that so?". I smiled and he did too.

"Did you work at Saint Sebastian hospital?." I acted confused and looked back up at him. "I did or do I'm not really sure what to say now that we're kinda stuck on this island." He looked at me. He smiled, "I worked there, I was a surgeon there". I looked at him.

"No way, we must have bumped into each other at some point". I laughed and smiled at him. He looked at me and smiled. It was pretty dark out and it was just the too of us sitting in the tent. It was made from part of the plane so one side was exposed, open.

It looked out onto the beach and the ocean. I could hear the waves from here. It was calming and relaxing. I looked back at Jack who had a smile on his face. I started to smile as well. He spoke up. "Well I'm glad I got to know you like this and not just you bumping into me in a hospital hallway".

He laughed, I looked at him and smiled. He were sitting close to each other, our shoulders and sides were touching. He had his knees and his hand folded on top. I was sitting criss cross. He started to move closer to me.

He looked down at my lips and I looked at his face and smiled. I felt him put his hand on my cheek. The both of us started to lean in about to kiss the other, it was a relationship I was able to develop on my own and I was going to enjoy it. He leaned in closer and we were about to kiss when we heard it coming from outside.

"DUDES" we immediately detached from each other to our respective side of the blanket we were sitting on. Hurley made it to the opening of the tent to find us laughing. "What's so funny?". Hurley asked. I looked up at him. "Oh nothing, what's going on?". He looked at me.

"The ceremony thing is about it start and I was just calling and gathering everyone". I stood up and walked up to him. "Great, let's get going, cmon Jack". Hurley started to walk away when Jack walked up to me, we both erupted in laughter at our close call.

I looked out and saw the fire that had started and the crowd that had gathering already around it. I looked at Jack who had extended his arm out for me to take in which I did. I walked with him to the fuselage all smiles. I was pretty happy at that moment.

I really had no clue how clouded my feelings would become.
