Rhys was sat at the caravan park. Jade was working down the kiosk, and he hadn't a clue where Dani was, upstairs probably. Max was probably off thinking up another scam. Rhys laughed to himself. But there was something, no someone missing. Kirsty. He hated admitting it, but he missed her, and regretted telling her she was no longer welcome. He remembered her as a child, playing with Jade, her training; she had always taken after her dad in that area, sporty, athletic. But then he remembered the ferry accident, the overdose, running away. But that didn't matter know, whatever his daughter had done in the past, he still loved her. He hadn't seen her in weeks; he didn't even know where she was. He assumed she was living with Kane, but couldn't even be sure of that. She was his little girl, and he didn't know if she was dead or alive.

A knock at the door interrupted his daydream; he turned around to see his wife standing in the doorway.

"Shell.."

"Rhys"

"I didn't know you were coming, you should've said"

"It was last minute, I had some time off and decided to come and see the kids, maybe take them out for something to eat at the diner"

As she said this max come walking in with jade in tow, they ran up to shelly and gave her a hug. At this point Dani joined them. A family again. Well, nearly. Shelley looked around

"Where's Kirsty?"

Everyone fell silent. Shelley turned to Rhys.

"Well, where is she?"

Dani looked at her mum. "Kirsty no longer lives with us."

"Is someone going to tell me what's going on?" Shelly demanded. Rhys sat his wife down. "Shelly, love" he began. "Kirsty, well, not long ago, umm," Rhys couldn't find the right words.

Dani stepped in. "Kirsty's moved out and now lives with Kane." She swallowed. That had been hard for her to do, but her mum deserved to know the truth. "She's no longer part of this family."

"You threw her out?" Shelley couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"We gave her a choice, us or him and she chose him." Rhys said, starting to feel ashamed at his actions.

"She's only 17, how could you do this to her?"

"Mum." Jade began, in defence of her father and sister.

"Where are they staying?"

"I assume she's living with Kane. I can't be sure of the address but I think this might be it. But if she's not there, then I don't know." Rhys handed Shelley a scrap of paper.

"You can't even be sure of where she's living? Well, I'm going to head over there now. Someone needs to see if she's okay"

"I'll come with you?" Rhys offered. But Shelley just looked at him; it was a cold stare that turned his stomach. Shelley grabbed her keys and set off to find her daughter.

Kane was sat at home waiting for Kirsty to return from the shops. He flicked through the channels on the TV but nothing was on. He heard the doorbell ring.

"Forget your keys did you?" Kane said with a laugh.

As he opened the door he came face to face with Shelley Sutherland.

"Um, Mrs Sutherland, Hi"

"Hi, I was looking for Kirsty." Shelley didn't know what to say to this man. She still hated him and what's more, hated that he was now living with her daughter.

"Yeah, she's not here right now. She shouldn't be long though, if you'd like to come in and wait?"

"Yeah, thanks." Both felt very awkward. Kane hoped Kirsty wouldn't be long. He knew Shelley hated him, and he hated feeling uncomfortable in his own home. Shelley stepped inside; she walked through to the living room.

"It's um, a nice house" Shelley was determined to make an effort.

"Oh, I've got Kirsty to thank for that." Kane smiled. His girlfriend had made a real effort to turn their home into their dream home. "Can I get you a drink? Coffee? Tea?"

"Thanks, a tea would be good, milk no sugar."

Kane walked into the kitchen as Shelley sat down. Neither knew quite how to behave. Five minutes later, Kane brought the tea through and sat down with Shelley.

"Thanks" replied Shelley as Kane handed her the tea. What was she supposed to do? Make polite conversation with this man? He had caused so much heartache, so much trouble for her family. Kane was unsure of what to do as well. He couldn't just start talking, this woman despised him. He just wished Kirsty would hurry up and come home.

It seemed like eternity, but finally Kane heard the keys in the door. He rushed over and as he did Kirsty walked in the door. She kissed him.

"Hey, sorry I took so long,"

"Um, Kirst.." But before he could say anymore, Shelley approached. At first, Kirsty was numb. What was going on?

"Kirsty, Hi. Your dad said you'd be here."

They stared at each other. Finally Shelley made the first move, she went and hugged Kirsty. Kirsty smiled. She thought her mum would hate her, shout at her at least, but no. She was being a mum.
