KIRSTY AND KANE PART 2
Kirsty had been devastated when Kane literally
dumped her at the caravan park.She could have coped with anything ,even her
father's hostile response if she only knew that Kane still loved her.She got
her wish a week later , when she received his letter. He did love her , that's
why he took her back to her family , even though it broke his heart to do
so She got through the next few
months as best she could , Kane never
far from her mind , during the school play fiasco and beyond. People were
treating her better now she had rekindled friendships ,mended family
relationships , but things would never be the same , deep in her heart she
still loved Kane and she knew if she ever had to choose between him and her family
the decision would still be the same . It was fate , kismet , call it what you
will , but they were soulmates destined to be together.Through all her troubles
Seb had remained her truest friend and logically he was the one she should have
feelings for , and she did care about him , but not in the same way not with
the same passion , like a force of nature that could not be fought against.She
had had a brief fling with Dylan , that had aroused feelings in her , but not
of the same magnitude ,like the flicker of a flame next to a forest fire ,
Dylan was now too much like a brother .But Kirsty could not share these secret
feelings with anyone , Kane was out of their lives , and as far as they were
concerned ,good riddance , they would be devastated to know how deeply she felt
about him .He was the man they despised ,the man who assaulted her sister two
years ago , the man they would never
accept .
Kane had moved down the coast , he too had been devastated by their
separation. He knew it was for the best , but it was so hard to give up the
only person in the world who had ever loved him , who saw the good in him , who
inspired him to better himself , just as he inspired her. He relocated jobs and
TAFE courses successfully , he worked and studied hard , and to his surprise
did brilliantly. He enjoyed the work , and enjoyed the course , he hadn't done
very well at school , but then again he'd never tried to, always assuming he
would fail. But this time he put so much effort and time in and drove himself
so hard that he amazed not only himself but his fellow students and
tutors.Ofcourse the better he did the more confident he became , and if it
wasn't for the fact that he could not share his success with Kirsty he would
have been completely happy.His mind told him to get over her , it was never
going to work , his heart just ached for him to go back to her.Part of the
reason he worked so hard was to give himself less time to brood about Kirsty
and what might have been.Eventually he achieved his goal .He got his master's
ticket , he was a sea captain! He wrote to tell his aunt , it was strange , but
since he had moved out his aunt had been warmer towards him , maybe because she
could also see the change in him , maybe because he sent her money knowing she would
be short of cash without the rent he used to pay .She wrote back telling him
how for the first time in her life when her friends were going on about the
achievements of their children and grandchildren , she could boast as well. "
Kane got his master's ticket , he's doing so well , he just needed a chance to
show how well he could do.".Kane felt moved , his aunt talking , no , boasting
about him , that was a first!
In her next letter however his aunt had some very bad news . She had been ill for
some time , but hadn't wanted to worry him , with him doing so well . She had
cancer , it was an aggressive type , had already spread from her lungs to her
bones ,and the outlook was bleak.Kane was shattered he had just felt as though
he was getting close to her and now this.He couldn't let her go through it on
her own , he owed her that much , after all she was the only one who helped him
out after Scott went to prison .But if he went back to Yabbie Creek he would be
dangerously close to Summer Bay and Kirsty and a temptation he knew he could
not resist.Part of him however was glad , noone could fault his reason for
coming back , it was totally legit , he couldn't help it if his aunt was ill
and had noone else.Noone could criticise his decision to return - he might not
get another chance , and at the end of the day he had no choice
His boss was very sympathetic and understanding and even arranged for Kane to meet
a mate of his who had a boatyard and ship in Summer Bay .The two men hit it off
straight away , and Kane was relieved that Scott Hunter was a relative newcomer
to the bay and so did not know Kane's history . Feeling it was only fair Kane
admitted to having a chequered past , saying that over two years ago he did a
particularly bad thing which a lot of people would never let him forget.Scott
said that as far as he was concerned if he had managed to stay out of trouble
for a couple of years it showed he had obviously changed and not to worry about
the small town mentality of some people , as far as he was concerned Kane was
fine , he had excellent references , and what's more the two men hit it off
almost immediately - but what Scott didn't know was that the trouble Kane was
referring to was the rape of Dani Sutherland -the girl he loved!
