Chapter 11

It was morning. Kirsty shielded her eyes from the morning sunlight. She looked over at her boyfriend and smiled. He looked so peaceful, with a little smile on his face. She slowly sat up, but as she did, Kane stirred.

"Sorry baby, I didn't want to wake you" Kirsty said. She was enjoying watching him sleep. Kane smiled at her. This was the beginning of the rest of their lives. The two of them against the world.

I'm going to get a coffee, do you want anything?" Kirsty asked. Kane shook his head. He watched her as she walked towards the door, and just as she was about to open it someone burst in. it was Scott hunter, his boss.

"Scott, hi" said Kane uncomfortably. He knew Scott was with Dani and from the look on his face, Kane knew that Scott had found out who he really was.

"You've got some nerve." Scott said as he glared at Kane. "You come back here; you work for me, after what you did to dani. You're sick, twisted. Is this your idea of a sick joke?" Scott had never felt so angry.

"Look, mate, I never meant to hurt anyone. I needed a job and this was where I was located. I never meant for this to happen"

"But it did, and now my girlfriend is sat at home, her family in shreds. And you're sitting here smiling. You make me sick"

At this point Kirsty interrupted. She wasn't going to let Kane take all the blame. After all, it was she who walked out on her family. "Scott, lay off him. We never meant for this to happen"

Scott glared at Kirsty, and then turned his attentions back to Kane.

"Look at this as a warning 'mate', you stay away from Dani and if your smart you wont stick around for much longer."

Kane looked at Scott, he wasn't scared of him but it made him think. This was just like last time. Kirsty and him against the world. Look what happened then. Could he put either of them thru that again?

"And Kirsty, if you're smart you'll leave this loser and go home to your family, and your sister." Scott opened the door, but before he left turned around to Kane "Think about it." He said, as he left. Kirsty walked up to Kane. Neither of them said a word.

"Well, we knew this wasn't going to be easy." Kirsty started.

"I'm sorry baby. I shouldn't have come back. You don't deserve this. I'm not worth it. Scott's right, I don't belong here. I'll never be welcome."

"Kane don't say that. Please. I need you. You can't leave me again. We'll get thru this" Kirsty lay down next to Kane and rested her head on his chest.

Kane knew she was right. He'd never be able to leave her. But he was going to have to do something to sort this out - and quick.
