Title: Rethinking
Characters: Shannon, Sayid, Boone, Locke, Michael
Shannon stood before the huge ocean the sun reflected off the clear blue waters the cool water splashed against her legs everytime a wave rolled onto shore. She heard someone come behind her. "Shannon..." It was Sayid he stood next to her examining the ocean for a minute and looked at her. She didn't look back she was thinking hard how Boone must have hated her now that she didn't listen to him about Sayid but she didn't care, Sayid was the only one that understood her on this island. "What" Shannon responded without looking at him. "Why don't we go for a walk."
Sayid responded almost immedietly. Shannon noticed that Sayid was talking in a serious tone, usually he talks to Shannon in a sweet voice. She was kind of afraid to take this walk, she didn't want to talk about Boone. "What do you want to talk to me about, on this walk?" Shannon asked now looking at him. Sayid gave her a concerned look and sighed "Us." Sayid responded. Shannon squinted her eyes, "You breaking up with me?" Shannon asked, her voice a little wavy. She crossed her arms.
Sayid kept on giving her a concerned look and grabbed her arm. "Please, Shannon let's go." Sayid said. Shannon slowly agreed and they started walking along the beach. "I know it upsets Boone whenever he sees us together, im going to make this short but maybe... maybe we need space Shannon." Sayid said softly. Shannon stopped and tears filled up her eyes. "Sayid, listen to me. Boone always wants his way he will get his way if he wants but please Sayid, this time don't give him what he wants. He's my brother don't listen to a word he says for once im happy to be here because im with you now. I don't want Boone messing up everything." Shannon said wiping a tear from her eye.
Sayid started walking again without saying anything, Shannon stood there for a while and Shannon followed him. "Sayid, please say something." Shannon said worried. "I need time." Sayid responded taking what Shannon said into consideration. Shannon stopped walking but Sayid continued, she watched him as he disappeard down the shore line. She turned around and saw Boone talking to Locke. Shannon cried harder, now she was alone, all she wanted was Sayid to come back. She stomped over to Boone and Locke. "Can i talk to you?" Shannon practically demanded to Boone. Boone and Locke looked at her. "Boone maybe you shouldn't." Locke suggest. "He can do whatever the hell he wants." Shannon shouted to Locke annoyed.
"Fine." Boone said getting up. They walked further along the beach where there wasn't anyone. "Sayid left." Shannon said brushing her blonde hair behind her ears. Boone got the idea that she was going to go along saying how it was his fault. "What do you want me to do?" Boone asked. "Get him back." Shannon demanded. "Shannon can't---" Boone started to say. "Get him back!" Shannon shouted. "Your the one who made him leave! I love him! And your the jerk who make him rethink everything!" Shannon shouted through her tears. "GET HIM BACK!" She shouted louder, everyone on the island had to hear them shouting by now. She pushed him into the sand and grabbed a handful and threw it at him.
Meanwhile Michael saw the argument that was going on and knew that he should do something. "Hey, hey, hey!" Michael shouted running towards them. "Enough!" Michael said trying to break up the fight.
Sayid walked into the jungle where no one could see him and hid behind a tree spying on Boone and Shannon, he wanted to know what Boone would really say, if he was the person that Shannon claimed him to be.
Shannon and Boone calmed down. Boone got off the ground and walked away, Michael watched Boone walk back to Locke. Michael looked at Shannon then walked away. He wanted to know what was going on but he knew that it wasn't his business.
Shannon was standing alone, she sat down in the sand and let out a cry. Sayid slowly walked out behind the tree and stood behind Shannon and knelt down. He didn't know if he should say anything or just let her be for a while.
Sayid slowly crept back into the jungle and walked back to the shore where everyone was. And went over to Boone. "Hey." Sayid said. Boone looked up at him. "Hey." Boone said rolling his eyes. "Why are you so protective... over Shannon?" Sayid asked curiously. "I told you dude, she gets guys to get what she wants then she dumps them. Your a good guy, i don't want you to get hurt." Boone said. "Are you telling me the truth, or is the truth that it hurts you to see Shannon with another guy?" Sayid asked. Boone thought for a minute, "No." Boone lied. It did hurt him to see her with Sayid but he knows Shannon, she does use guys.
