The End

I thought I'd post some of my old fanfic to add to my collection on here. They're really quite old now so you don't have to re-read/comment if you don't want to (: This one was actually my first fanfic in a LONG while (aside from U.S.)

The End

Characters: Charlie, mentions of Des, Claire and Aaron. 
Summary: If Charlie had a diary this would be his last entry...
Rating: K

So this is it, huh? How I die. Finally.
He tells me I'll drown. I always thought the drugs would get to me first. The life I used to lead. I always thought my past would eventually destroy me.

He tells me I have a mission. To flick some switch and we'll all be saved. I'll save Claire. That's why I'm doing it. I love her you see. I wish I could tell her that. But it's too late now.

He tells me I have to die this time. I didn't want to believe him. I wanted to yell he must be wrong. There must be something he can do. But he can't. And I knew all along he couldn't save me. The poor sod must be sick and tired watching me die over and over again.

What about me? Hearing I have to die? How can fate cruelly decide this? Just as I reconcile with Claire? I have a family. But I want my family to be rescued. To get out of here finally and be free. Even if it is without me.

I would do anything for them. Claire and Aaron. I would do anything possible to make them happy! And I am. It's what I'm doing. But it's hard. Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same. I can't tell her about this. So when she finds out about my death I want her to know how I feel about her. So I wrote my Greatest Hits and she'll know. I don't have to tell her. It'll be obvious I love her.

So, it's not the drugs that'll kill me. Or the bloody island this time. It'll be me. I'll be the one to take my own life in order to save everyone else's. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared because I am. My heart races at the thought. But then I know I'll be saving them and making them happy. And that's enough for me to hear.

So he tells me I'm going to die. I can accept that. I really can. We've all gotta go some time. And now he's telling me it's time. And I know. I know it's my time. So in a minute, my trusty diary, this'll be the last few sentences you hear from your beloved owner Charlie Pace. Because I'm going to be a hero. And I'm going to get on that boat with Desmond and accept my fate. To help my friends.

And he's telling me now. I have to put the pen down. And I know more than anyone that this is the End.

Goodbye forever

Charlie
