Katie took a deep breath and began to speak,"Well I had better start from the beginning. When I was born my mother was very young, only 17 and my father was younger only 16. My mother had no help and no guidance from her parents who were separated. My father and her were separated and she soon met my stepfather. I continued seeing my father until I was about 6 or 7 then he just stopped and I never saw him again. My mother never talked about him and soon my stepfather replaced him, well at least in my family's eyes but I always thought about him and when my dad left my stepfather began to treat me very badly. To say my childhood was hell was an understatement. I was depressed and upset most of the time. Eventually it got to much and people in my school began to notice how I was becoming. I was taken out of class by pupil and family support. They practically saved my life, I went to 2 counsellors and them and my depute head. Eventually I got out of my home, just before I started university. I ran away and never looked back but I always thought of my family who I had left behind and have struggled my entire life with confidence barriers and inner issues. Pretty messed up huh?"

"What exactly did your father do to you and how did you manage to get through med school finanacially?"

"My father hit me when I was younger, I was absoloutely terrified of him and dreaded going home. He would either be in an ecstatic mood or an awful mood. He controlled my entire life, he was a control freak and called me names. He broke down my confidence down bit by bit. I cried myself to sleep every night and my nerves were in pieces. I tried to talk to my mum but she didn't understand or didn't want to and I resigned myself to living like this but then family support and the counsellors. Johan helped me so much and I began to piece myself back together. The next bit may shock you but I had a relationship with a teacher. I was in love with him but well he broke my heart. He was married and well I can see now that it was always doomed but he was there and I needed someone to love me and to want to take care of me He left me pretty messed up and well now you can see why I find it hard to trust men. I have had my heart broken and men have totally wrecked me. He paid for me through the first 3 years of med school and I had some money I had saved up and a relative died and left me some money."

"A teacher took advantage of you," Michael said angrily," and so did your bastard stepfather. So I know was there ever any sexual abuse?"

"No, nothing like that, I promise you and I led the teacher on."

"YOUR STEPFATHER CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS, Michael said angrily,"I'M GONNA KILL HIM AND THAT TEACHER IT'S NO EXCUSE HE WAS IN A POSITION OF TRUST.

"No Michael I have to deal with this myself and I understand if you want to end us because I sound pretty messed up even to myself and you don't need this right now, you have your own problems."

"No I don't, I have accepted that my marriage is long over and I have dealt with my issues," Michael took Katies hand in his own and said,"you stuck by me and my problems were self inflicted and yours are in no way your fault and I want to do the same by you. I know it's very early but I think I have fallen in love with you and I want to help you in any way possible. I want to protect you and love you and care for you, if you'll let me."

Katie leaned in and kissed Michael, a long passionate kiss and Michael said,"I guess I got my answer, now lets get you home now."

"Hang on Michael I have patients and my notes and reports and oh god."

Michael put a finger to Katies lips,"Shhh I have taken care of it. I saw all your patients as well as mine. I have done your notes so all you have to do is the reports which aren't due in until Monday so you are fine."

"Oh Michael thank you," Katie said planting another kiss on Michael.

"It's no problem, now lets go."

"Michael will you stay with me tonight please?"

"Of course I will, I still have a few backup shirts left in that drawer, now let's get you home."
