Chapter 10
Kirsty was in her bedroom. Jade ran in, in tears.
"Kirsty, what are you doing?"
"I'm not going to be separated from him again. I love him jade. He saved my life in there. We're soul mates"
"But we're your family...."
"If you were my family then you wouldn't be kicking me out"
"Do you remember what he did to Dani?"
"Change the record Jade. Yes I remember and I also remember the look in his eyes when he saved me today. He would die for me. I love him and he loves me and there's nothing that's going to keep us apart." said Kirsty. She stuffed some clothes into a bag and pushed past jade.
"Kirsty, please don't do this" jade pleaded.
"I'm sorry. But this is something I have to do" and without a backward glance Kirsty walked out the room, leaving jade crying.
Kirsty walked slowly down the stairs. Could she really do this? Walk out on her family? Then she thought of Kane, and she quickened her pace. She walked downstairs to see dani and Rhys still sat at the table.
"I'll be going then"
Dani kept her head down. Part of her wanted to tell Kirsty to stay, but part of her couldn't forgive her sister for her betrayal. Rhys didn't know what to say. But he knew that as long as Kirsty was with Kane, He could not think of her as his daughter. Kirsty looked at her father, and at her sister. They couldn't even look her in the eye. She slowly turned and walked to the door. There was no going back now.

At the hospital, Kane was going thru the days events in his mind. Scott was dead. All Kane could think about was the look in Scott's eyes as he saw Kane and the fight with Kirsty watching, scared. Then the gunshot. It felt like a dream.
Kirsty opened the door. Kane saw she'd been crying.
"Baby, what's happened?" Kane tried to sit up but was still too weak. He just wanted to take Kirsty into his arms and comfort her.
"They kicked me out" Kirsty replied between sobs. She walked up to Kane's bed and lay down beside him.
"Oh baby, please don't cry" said Kane as he stroked Kirsty's cheek. He hated seeing her cry. He couldn't believe Kirsty had walked out on her family. For him. He looked at her; she'd fallen asleep next to him. She looked so beautiful. Nothing would ever split them up again.

Back at the caravan park, Dani was the only one up. It had been an exhausting day but she couldn't face going to bed. She'd called Scott, her boyfriend. She needed someone to hold her. To take away the pain of seeing Kane again.
"Hey gorgeous" said Scott, as he hugged Dani.
"I'm so glad you're here"
"Hey, what's all this about? Scott was concerned. Dani was normally so strong.
Dani took a deep breath "do you remember me telling you about the rape?"
Scott remembered vividly. "Yes, why has something happened?"
"Well, the guy who raped me was found innocent at the trial. And last year he came back. It was all such a mess..." dani trailed off.
"Dan, please tell me"
"He's come back again. They say they're in love but I can't believe she'd do this to me"
"Babe, who's they?
"Kirsty"
"And who's the guy?" Scott had to know. He had to protect Dani from this guy. "The guys name is Kane Phillips" Dani said
And then suddenly it dawned on Scott. The guy he worked with, and actually liked, was no other than the guy who had hurt his girlfriend all those years ago. How was he going to sort this out?
Kirsty was in her bedroom. Jade ran in, in tears.
