Chapter 4
A week had passed. It had been the longest week of Kirsty's life. She'd been down to the beach, watched the boatshed, and been to the wharf in a vain attempt to see Kane again. He had refused her calls, and made every attempt to avoid her. It was driving Kirsty crazy. How could he be like this. He said he loved her. Or was all that a lie, just words to get himself out a tight spot. He said he loved her before, but he left her. Kirsty reached for her phone once more, dialled Kane's number and waited...

Kane was sat in his car, watching the waves. He'd always loved the beach and had missed it whilst he had been away. He was trying to figure out what to do about his brother. He thought he'd put the past behind him, moved on from those days. Yet here it was, returning to haunt him. Why couldn't he just move on from his past? From everything. He was daydreaming when he heard his mobile ringing. Reaching into his pocket he pulled it out to see it was Kirsty. He'd been avoiding her calls, but somehow this was different. He needed someone to talk to. She was the only person who would understand.
Kane pressed the answer button. "Hello?" "Hi, it's me" Kirsty was shaking as she spoke. "Kirst.." "Look please don't hang up Kane, I need to see you, to talk to you." "Yeah me too." Kane's voice was shaky, he needed Kirsty. "Where are you? Can we meet now?" "Um, sure, look meet me by the wharf, and we'll drive somewhere." "Okay," Kane out the phone down, and drove. He knew it was wrong, but it was like he couldn't stop himself. His love for Kirsty made no sense, yet when he was with her , everything was clear. He had to be with her, no matter what. He met Kirsty by the beach. They drove away, not speaking, and the silence was eerie. But neither of them knew what to do. Kane's pulled over and they walked to a spot where they could sit. Kane made the first move, "I went to see Scott today" "Why?" Kirsty was worried. "He asked me to. Said he's getting out, and want to stay with me for a bit." "And your gonna let him?" Kirsty was shocked. She remembered what Kane had told her about his brother. "Don't have much choice" said Kane quietly. Kirsty was quiet for a minute. Kane turned to face her, be looked scared, vulnerable. "Kirsty, I,.. I really need you right now". Kirsty stared at him then reached over and hugged him. It was all she wanted to hear.
