Chapter 17

2 weeks had passed. Kirsty had heard no word from her family, and had avoided all of Kane's calls. She'd been sleeping on Alf Stewart's sofa, as Seb had offered to let her stay while she got her head together. He'd been great. No judged her, or asked too many questions. It was as though he understood. He'd just been the bestest friend she could have hoped for. The only problem was, - she was missing Kane. She'd tried to be strong, but was quickly losing control of her emotions.

"Hey Kirsty" Seb interrupted her thoughts

"Hey Seb."

"Fancy coming down to the surf club this evening?"

"If it's okay with you'd I'd rather hang around here"

"Come on Kirst, you've got to get out of the house."

Kirsty agreed. Seb always knew what to do to make her feel better. She couldn't have wished for a better friend.

"Seb, thanks, for what you've done and everything"

"Hey, what are friends for?" Seb smiled. He'd do anything for Kirsty. They set off for the surf club.

Kane sat at home, feeling miserable and missing Kirsty like crazy. He'd tried everything. He'd rung her, tried to go see her, but he'd ignored him every time. He just had to tell her he loved her, and ask for a second chance. He had to do something.

At the surf club, Kirsty's mobile rings. The number is withheld.

"Who is it?" Seb asked, knowing full well it was probably Kane.

"I don't know. The number is withheld. I'll just go outside to answer it." Kirsty stood up and walked outside. She answered her phone. "Hello"

"Meet me at the beach in half an hour."

"Kane?"

"Please Kirsty. Meet me there. I need to see you". The line went dead. Kirsty stared at her phone. What was going on?
