Day two

[Jordan finally stirs from her sleep. She tried to move, but feels rather stiff, once she feels alright, she slightly sits up and looks around the area, she is in what appears to be in a tent. Closing her eyes she tries to remember what had happened, though all she can remember was boarding a plane in Sydney, then it’s just a blur from there. Sighing deeply, she stood up slowly, waiting to see if she had balance. Once she felt alright, she took a couple of steps then walked out of the tent. The brightness of the sun made her squint. She had no idea where she was. She hoped Jack wasn’t far. She realised she was on some sort of beach, and a lot of people and plane wreckage were scattered, she felt scared. She tried to avoid any eye contact with people she didn’t know. Some faces were slightly familiar as she remembers seeing them on the plane, she saw a woman that sat across from Jack, but it seemed to her she was praying, so Jordan walked right past her. She kept on walking until she found Jack amongst wreckage, looking for something. She stopped and watched him]

[Jack looked up to see Jordan wandering around. Jumping he ran over to her, putting his arm around her shoulders]

Jack: "How are you feeling? You shouldn't be up."

[Jordan crosses her arms, rolls her eyes and sighs when Jack puts his arm around her]

Jordan: "I'm fine Jack, really. If I was laying down anymore, I'd go crazy."

Jack: Jordan, have you seen the cut on your stomach? The more you move around the more likely you are to rip open the stitches...

[Jack stands in front of his sister, his hands on her shoulders]

Jordan: I'm being careful okay? I was getting too stiff. You know I remember someone saying telling me that staying in bed all day, isn't healthy.

[Jordan quirks an eyebrow]


[Jack throws up his hands, frusterated by Jordan's remarks]

Jack: Fine do whatever you want! I'm only trying to help you cause I care about you Jordan.


[Jordan closes her eyes for a moment, and opens them again, she lightly touches Jack's arm]

Jordan: I'm sorry, I know you do Jack. Look, I'll go back down, once I've been up for awhile. Is that alright?

[Jack nods, as he follows her up the beach back to her tent]

Jack: You drink some water too, don't want to get dehyrated

[Jordan looks back at him with a small smile]

Jordan: I'll make sure I do.

[Jack stands there awkwardly, wanting to stay by his sister's side but he can see Kate trying to set up her tent.]

Jack: Uh...do you need anything else?

[Jordan turns to him and notices his awkwardness, she follows Jack's eye movent to see Kate, she turns to him again] Yeah. I was up earlier this morning and I, uh [realises she is getting tongue tied]. I couldn't find you anywhere, where did you go?


Jack: I went looking for the transciever....sorry I didn't tell you where I was going. [He ruffles her hair like she is a child]

[Jordan hits Jack's hand away as he knows not to do that, she neatens her hair again] Jack! [her eyes widen when he mentions the transciever] Did you find it?


Jack: Yeah we found it. Sayid's trying to see if it will work...so we should know soon. [He glances back at Kate, then picks up the tarp lying near his tent] I'm going to give this to Kate okay?


[Jordan nods] If Sayid is good as he says he is, then he should get it working. [follows Jack's eye movements to Kate, her heart sinks] What's going on between you two?


[Jack looks at her confused] What? Nothing is going on...I just met her Jordan


[Jordan shrugs] You just seem pretty close for just meeting her.


Jack: You see this cut on my back? [Jack pulls up his shirt to show her] She sewed that without even knowing my name, anything. I figured I owe her


[Jordan looks at his cut] Okay. So you figured you'd owe her by having a swim?


Jack: What is going on with you Jordan? [Jack throws down the tarp, frustrated by his sister]


[Jordan takes a step back] I saw you, okay? I saw you swimming with Kate!


Jack: So? We were swimming, in case you haven't noticed we don't exactly have showers around here.


[Jack is trying to be patient but he is becoming angrier]


Jordan: Just swimming?

[Jordan shakes her head] I saw your arms around her, yeah, that's just swimming.




[Jack shakes his head, anger boiling in him] Did you see the huge wave that over took us? She was choking on water, Jordan.



Jordan: No I didn't, so it must have happened awhile before. Just how long were you holding her?


Jack: You need to stop now. Go get some rest. [Jack turns to leave]


[Jordan feels hurt, and can feel her eyes swell up, but refuses to show]

Jordan: You can't tell me what to do, you're not my father



[Jack turns back to her, obviously hurt by her comment]

Jack: No I'm not! Our father is somewhere in that jungle, or that ocean. I'm the only one you've got Jordan so why don't you stop acting like a child.


[Jordan's no longer feeling hurt, but angered]

I'm not acting like a child. I wouldn't even be on this damned island, if you hadn't showed up without warning!



Jack: Oh right this whole plane crash is my fault! [Jack walks up to her, towering over her] I don't want to be here any more than you do. Have you even thought what Mom thinks? Her whole family is dead right now.



[Jordan shrugs without a care]

Jordan: Might as well be your fault! [Jordan doesn't take her eyes off him as he walks up to her] Doesn't mom know dad's already dead? She's probably not even thinking about her whole family, just him and her precious son!



Jack: Oh yeah her precious son. Give me a break, Jor. [He looks at her disgusted] I'm in no one's good books...believe me


Jordan: You are! Who did she turn to about dad? She knew he was in Sydney didn't she? Did she forget I was there too?

[Jordan shakes her head at his look]


Jack: Maybe she didn't call you because you haven't talked to her in months, Jordan. It wouldn't hurt to let her know you were alive. It wouldn't hurt to let any of us know you were okay.


Jordan: She knew I was alive, she had my number, I sent her a birthday card, didn't I?


[Jack throws up his hands in frusteration.]

Jack: I'm going to check the Marshall.

[Jordan huffs and gives up]

Jordan: Fine. Check up on everyone else. Im used to it.

Jack: Jordan, you just told me you were fine....are you okay? or do you need something?


[Jordan swallows a lump that had emerged in her throat]

Jordan: If I told you I'm fine, I am fine.

[Jordan looks away to avoid eye contact]


Jack: Fine. Then I'm leaving. I'll be back later.

[Jack turns and walks across the beach]


[Jordan looks back to him only to see him walking away, she sits on the ground and mumbles]

Jordan: Yeah, sure
