CARAVAN PARK

Kirsty walks in hand in hand with Seb. Jade is sitting on the sofa with Nick. "Did you have a good time?" Rhys asked. "Yup, great!" Kirsty answered. "I have to go. Uncle Alf said I have to be home by 8", Seb said. "Ok, bye!" Kirsty answered. Seb leaned in and kissed Kirsty, then walked out.

"Kirsty!" Dani said excitedly. "Scott wants to take me on a cruise! On a 5 star boat!!" Dani was ecstatic. "Oh my god!!" Kirsty said excitedly. "That's fantastic!" "Oh no I have to pack!! He's taking me tomorrow night!" "This is the first I've heard of it.." Rhys said sternly. "Don't worry Dad, I'll be careful!" Dani's persistence must have paid off, because Rhys said "Ok. you can go." "YAY!" Dani exclaimed, hugging Rhys. "Thanks so much, you SO wont regret this!!"

"Dad.. I'm just going to go for a walk before dinner, is that ok?" Kirsty asked. "Yep sure, just be back BEFORE dinner.." Rhys yelled as she walked out.

BEACH

Kirsty walked along the beach, thinking about her life. She had Seb. She could talk to him about anything. He was sweet and really caring and understanding. Although he wasn't her ideal boyfriend, he was there when she was upset or having problems, and he was always there to help her. Kirsty walked up onto the wharf and sat down, looking at the water. Scott was talking about a new re-cruite on his ship. Kirsty wondered who it was.

Just then Kirsty was startled by something behind her. Someone was in Scott's boat. She was curious, although she knew that it was probably Scott, or that new guy he employed. She knocked on the roof and hoisted herself into the boat. "Hello?!" She said. "Scott, are you there?" She heard footsteps behind her. She was getting scared. "Scott.. Answer me.. I know its you!" Kirsty was shaking. At that second someone tapped her on the shoulder and she jumped and whirled around to face the person.

"its.. YOU?!" Kirsty stammered. She didn't know what to say or do. She was stunned. Out of all people.. Scott had employed... HIM?!

"Uh... hi Kirst..." "Kane? What are you doing HERE?!" Kirsty stammered. "I was employed by Scott", Kane said, a little shocked. "YOU are his new employee?!" Kirsty said, shocked. "Uh.. yeah." "But.. I had no idea it was you..." Kirsty felt those old feelings for Kane again. The way he used to hold her. Hug her. Kiss her. All the memories came flooding back.

"So what have you done with your life..?" Kane said, desperate to make conversation. "I went back to school", Kirsty said, getting over her shock. "Really? Is it good there?" Kane asked. "Um, yeah its pretty good", Kirsty lied. It wasn't good, it was terrible. She hated the work, the teachers and the school. She only went back because there was no oppertunities for good jobs unless she did her HSC. "And what have you done.. ?" "Um, well I haven't been doing much. I came back here because my aunt died. I got her house." "Oh... I'm sorry.." Kirsty started. "No, its okay," Kane said. "Um, there's something you need to know..", Kirsty said, "Scott.... Scott is seeing Dani.." Kane stood there dumbfounded. He had no idea. He took a step back and cleared his throat. "Oh...... well.. umm.." He started. He suddenly felt extremly uncomfortable. "Don't worry, if you didn't know, then you're not to blame.." Kirsty said reassuringly. "If Scott finds out, I wont have a job..." Kane said worryingly. Kirsty stared at the ground. She didn't know quite what to say. "Well so umm, Kirsty... are you seeing anyone?" Kane said staring straight at her. "Well...", she started, looking at the ground. She looked back up. She couldn't lie to him. "Yes... I have a boyfriend" Kirsty said. Kane felt shattered. He thought they could start fresh between them. The seperation between them has made him realise that he shouldn't have left. He loved Kirsty, and standing there with her.. he felt fantastic. He felt like he was floating. But the news made him think twice. He could never have Kirsty. They wern't about to break up soon. Or were they? "Do you..... do you love him?" Kirsty looked at him. She longed so much for Kane. Seb was supportive, but he was more security than love. She was cheating her feelings. She felt messed up, but she knew she answer. "Well.... no... I don't..." Kirsty said hesitantly. Kane felt instant relief. If they were truly in love there was no way Kirsty would ever get with him again. He knew what she was thinking just by looking at her. It was plain obvious. They stared deep into each others eyes. Kane knew she wasn't going to make a move because of this new 'boyfriend' so he thought he should. He wasn't going to be too plain about it or she might reject him. He put his hand on her shoulder. Instantly, Kirsty wrapped her arms around his waist. Kirsty was still looking at him. She felt butterflies inside. She had never felt anything like it even with Seb. Kane looked down at her. "This .. this is wrong.." Kirsty said, but she didn't let go of Kane. "Who do you love Kirsty?" Kane asked confidently. He stared at her with a sad lost look in his eyes. Kirsty looked straight at him lovingly. "I... I shouldn't be doing this.." Kirsty broke away. "I have to go... .... I'm sorry.." Kirsty ran off, leaving Kane standing on the wharf.
