Notes: For jjverse challenge 10: Big Bang.



Three months ago, Juliet got drunk. Sawyer sat across from her at the table, whiskey bottle in hand, pouring her third (fourth, fifth, maybe sixth) shot.

But that’s not how it happened.

Five months ago, Sawyer brought her a basket of eggs he swiped from the kitchen. To make them all omelets with.

But that’s not how it happened either.

No. A year ago, Juliet sat on the pier, looking out at the sinking submarine for the fiftieth (hundredth, thousandth) time. And Sawyer (Jim, James) slid a hand around her waist and turned her head toward him.

Kiss me Blondie.

Ilana comes rushing into the house, crying for her mother. But she isn’t there. A blonde man sits at the table, turning over a book in his hands. Where’s mama? she sobs, sitting on the floor, mud covering her dress and her tights and the little white shoes her mother worked extra hours to buy her for Christmas.

Mama’s gone, the man whispers, coming over and picking her up. It’s time to go. Ilana slumps against his shoulder, tears soaking his jacket. Can you be brave, little one?

Twenty years later, Jacob passes Ilana a glass of bitter wine. Can you be brave, Ilana? She grasps the mug in her hands, knuckles white.

Always, Jacob. Always.

Ben grabs Ilana’s shoulder. Don’t. Don’t go.

Since when do you care? He bits his lip, shaking his head, letting her go. I’ll be fine, she says, sensing his need to be reassured. Really.

You believe that? She nods. I don’t. Ilana starts, taken aback by his honesty. Let me go. Let me go get it. I-

No, she snaps, pushing him away. No. I don’t need help. Especially not yours.

Ben’s arms drop to his side as he watches her march into the jungle. He knows this is it. He’s always known, really.

Ilana vanishes into the jungle and Ben does his best to push her from his mind.
