"I'm sorry."
He sighed as he nodded his head, "Yeah," he said looking away from Kate. "I'm sorry too," he continued, turning to look Kate in the eyes with a sincere smile on his face.

"That's all I'm gonna get, huh?"
Jack was again silent as he juggled around the question of whether or not he would let Kate in on his problems. He never was really good at dealing with things, but perhaps that was what this entire day was meant to be for him. For Jack to learn to get past things, and he was going to tell anyone, he was glad it was Kate. "My father died, in Sydney."

"So, where were you today, Jack?"
Jack paused as he tried to think of the right words to explain his absence. He exhaled hard before replying. "Just had to take care of a few things."
BOONE
"I think I'll go for a walk. I'll leave you to your thoughts,"
He sat silently continuing to sulk. He didn't say any parting words to Heidi. He just attempted to smile, and nodded before turning back, away from the rest of the camp.
"People may be making a big deal out of this, but if they'd been in the same situation, I guarantee you they would have done the same...they just don't know it yet."
Again, he didn't look back at who was speaking to him. Like most people, he just needed some time alone to think things through. He let out a sigh and shook his head slowly, "I don't think that's true," he said softly.

BOONE ((OOC: Wow Sawyer's getting tortured already? )) "Taking my place at the top of everyone's most hated list."Boone looked back at Sawyer with a look of anger, but also calmness. Boone just ignored Sawyer and looked back out at the ocean. "Everyone doesn't hate you." He looked up to see Heidi, who he was slightly acquainted with, holding a cup of water. Boone was about to turn away and continue to sulk, but it wouldn't do him any good, plus it would definitely be seen as rude. He let out a slight smile, he tried hard to make it as big as he could, but he just wasn't in the mood to be grinning. He slowly took the water from her hands. He decided not to drink it right away. He faced Heidi with his eye looking at the ground. His bottom lip was curled back, resting on his teeth, and his eyebrows curled up with his eyes wide open. He looked up at her, "Thank you," he said in a way that made it sound like he was thanking her for more then the water. The look on Boone's face didn't change until he began to nod a little and then lower his head again. JACK "It's good to have you back, doctor,"Jack looked over to see Gwen. She carried on past him, but Jack slowed down and eventually stopped. He smiled as he looked around the camp, but the smile faded quickly as he thought about all the events that had occurred that day. Jack stood still for a while before letting out a sigh as he headed towards one of the fires to sit down. He sat silently in front of one of the fires. It was odd, but it almost felt good to be back, despite the fact that they were still trapped on the island. He was deep in thought, until he noticed half a water bottle in the corner of his eye. He looked at the cup first and then instantly at Kate. He smiled. He gently took the cup out of her hands. "Thanks." He slowly lifted the cup up to his lips, and almost instantly drank the water. He didn't really notice how thirsty he was until now.

BOONE
He could here Sawyer's voice. He didn't turn around, Boone just replied with a cold and emotionless voice as he continued to stare out at the horizon, "How's what feel?" He was almost afraid to ask, he wasn't exactly looking for some cruel one liner, but at this point, Boone just didn't care anymore.

BEN
I listened to Jack's speech without uttering a word, which it seemed like that's what everyone else was doing. I began thinking how lucky we were to have Jack, and without him, we would certainly be lost.
"But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone."
"Wooh..." I muttered to myself. It the words hit me like a sledge hammer. They just had so much meaning to it. It was like some great line in an amazing poem. I was literally speechless, it had so much effect on me. It was like reality slapping me in the face.
BOONE
Boone shut his mouth and lowered his head. He had messed up, and now there was no fixing. He just sighed and headed away from the rest of the group to sit in the sand by himself.
JACK
He hadn't realized the impact that his words had on the others until he was finished. Everything fell silent. Jack looked over at Kate, and caught eyes with her. He had a look of pain and sorrow. He looked around at the rest of the group with the same look on his face. Jack nodded slowly. Before he lowered his head and walked along with the departing survivors.

"We need to stop waiting, we need to start figuring things out," Jack continued as he walked past the others to the near center of the group so he could face them all. "A woman died this morning just going for a swim, and he tried to save her," Jack said pointing to Boone, "...and now you're about to crucify him?" He asked looking mainly at Charlie, "We can't do this," he exclaimed with hand gestures to refer to there current dilemma, but also to everything that they had done since the crash. "Every man for himself is not going to work."
He paused for a moment before pacing back and forth as he stared at the ground, "It's time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we're going to survive here," Jack knew it wasn't what they wanted to here, that they wanted to continue to believe that rescue was coming soon, but they had to face reality. How long until they all excepted that rescue wasn't coming. Not while they just sat on the beach waiting.
"Now I found water, fresh water up in the valley, I'll take a group in at first light," Jack said pointing into the jungle, "If you don't want to come, then find another way to contribute," he continued, looking mainly at Sawyer. He paused again as he let it all sink in. "Last week most of us were strangers," he said looking everyone, "But we're all here now, and 'God' knows how long we're going to be here." He swallowed before he continued, "But if we can't live together." Jack shook his head before continuing.
"We're going to die alone."

JACK
He paused for moment as he examined every last individuals face. It seem everyone had gone silent and were now looking to Jack. "Its been 6 days, and we're all still waiting," he said calmly, "Waiting for someone to come...But what if they don't?" Jack asked rhetorically as he raise his arms as a shrug.

BEN
I turned in fright to see Jack. The the loudness of his voice hit me so hard I wasn't able to process what he had said right away. But as I looked over to see Jack, I was suddenly calmed by his presences. I was certainly glad he hadn't gotten himself killed while he was gone.

"Leave him alone!" he shouted over the entire group.

BOONE
He took no notice to Kate as he was right in the middle of being burned at the stake, he continued to explain himself, "Someone had to take responsibility for it, or it would have never lasted!" he shouted in panic.

BEN
***Ben enters from his camp***
I stood just outside the crowd that was starting to form. I was hoping that this fight meant that they found the person who stole the water. I just watched as Boone tried to defend himself before he was ripped apart by the mob. If it were up to me I'd let him go, but keep him away from the water, but it seemed Charlie and the others had a different plan for him.

"Claire could've died!"
"I tried to give her some sooner, but it just got out of hand. No one would have understood," Boone continued speaking in his defense hoping that they would understand.

BOONE
"Why'd you do it, pretty boy? Eh?"
Boone quickly jumped up. He tired not to face Charlie, like avoiding an agitated dogs eyes, but every where he turned there seemed to be someone else. "It was just sitting...It was just sitting in the tent." Boone explained hoping the others would follow. "And Jack just took off!"

BOONE
Clinched his fists and shut his eyes as his face hit the sand hard. Boone had pretty much done the worse, so he figured it would probably just be best to lie in the sand quietly until spoken too.
MICHAEL
He pushed himself up from the sand and limped over to Charlie and Boone. His leg still hurt, but not as much, and that was definitely the last thing on his mind. "Where'd he hide it?" Michael as with the same tone of rage that Charlie seemed to have.

MICHAEL
"I think," Michael replied while trying to maintain his hold on Claire. She and the baby weren't exactly feather weight, and Michael didn't want to drop in the sand.

CHARLIE
He and Michael quickly picked Claire up, moving her out of the sun. He looked back to see Kate behind them, the two of them continued to move her out of the sun as fast as they could, and Charlie replied, "She just dropped."

WALT
He pointed down the beach and exclaimed, "That pregnant lady fell down," his choice of words was to help best describe the woman of whom he didn't know her name. Sort of an obvious choice.

WALT
He walked along the beach, staying close to Michael, but still roaming around on his own. He looked over at Claire and for that split second the he focused his eyes on her, she collapsed into the sand. Walt wanted to help, but he knew it'd be better to fetch someone else. He looked around and saw Kate near by, and since she was the closest person to him, naturally he ran over to her. "Hey, hey!" he shouted hoping to immediately grab Kate's attention to save time.

BOONE
He looked over his shoulder to see Jack walking around the camp. This time Boone decided now was a better time then ever to say something to him. Boone jumped up from the sand and walked over to Jack."Why didn't you leave me?" Boone asked getting no response. Not even Jack's attention. "Hey, I'm talking to you."
JACK
He looked back at Boone, and the only thing he had left to say to anyone was right to the point. "Not now, man." Jack was tired, delirious and extremely upset, not to mention everyone asking for help from the least qualified person in Jack's mind. So the last thing he wanted was someone questioning his decision to leave the woman in the water earlier that day.
BOONE
"I could have made it back," Boone continued, ignoring Jack's statement. Jack turned away, deciding not to bother with it, but this only made Boone more upset. "What? Not going to answer me? I told you to leave me," Boone said practically yelling in frustration.
JACK
"You were drowning," Jack said in his defense hoping that Boone would just drop the matter. Or at the least bit be a little but thankful, but Jack knew he was shooting for the moon, and all Jack wanted was to be left alone.
BOONE
"You should've saved her," Boone said, completely ignorant to the assumption that Jack would know this by now, but in Boone's anger, he didn't think about that feelings of others. Not to blame him, most people don't.
JACK
"But I didn't save her," Jack said, having enough of the guilt that Boone was throwing on him, plus the whopping amount that Jack had already. "And neither did you," Jack said making it clear that Boone had no right to be saying anything like he was. In the anger and frustration and guilt, Jack walked towards the other side of the camp, leaving Boone behind, but of course that wouldn't stop Boone, and so he followed.
