Kirsty woke up in a cold sweat. Her dream had been awful...she'd dreamt that her family had kicked her out of her home for betraying them by seeing Kane. She prayed to God that that wouldn't happen...ever. She knew what she was doing was wrong but she was in love with Kane, she couldn't switch that feeling off.
Kirsty felt the most amazing of feelings when she was with Kane. Mainly, there was love. She thought that she'd experienced this before when she was first going out with Seb but now she knew she hadn't. What she felt for Kane was much more. Kirsty also felt that she could finally be Kirsty when she was with Kane. There was no pretence, there was just Kirsty and Kane and that's the way she liked it.
Aswell as the feelings of love, however, there was guilt. Kirsty didn't know how to act around Dani because she was aware of how she felt around Kane. That morning, she decided to go and talk to Dani because she didn't want to lose a sister, she wanted to sort it out.
Kirsty sheepishly knocked on Dani's door.
"Come in."
Dani was already awake. Although her dreams hadn't been as bad as she was used to, they still weren't good. Over and over all the stuff that had happened replayed in her head and she just so much wanted it to go away.
"Oh, it's you."
"Yeah, sorry about that, do you want me to go?"
"Nope."
"Can I sit down."
"If you want."
Kirsty sat down, detecting Dani's coldness and "I don't care" attitude, she could see right through it.
"We need to talk."
"What's there to talk about?"
"You know what."
"Well then, talk."
"Dani, please, just don't be cold with me and let me explain to you."
"What's there to explain, Kirst? You're going out with Kane, I know what that means."
"Dani, I can't just switch off how I feel about him."
"You have feelings for him?"
"I love him."
Kirsty said that before realising who she was talking to.
"You...how...how can you love him, Kirst? How can you bring yourself to love a rapist?"
"He's not like that anymore, I swear."
"Please, just leave me alone, Kirsty. I don't want to talk about it, not now."
"Come on, Dan, we need to sort this out."
"There's nothing to sort out, you're totally betraying me, you know what he did to me. Get out, just get out of my room."
Kirsty did as her sister said and immediately ran to find Kane. She didn't know what to do. There was no way she could choose between Kane and her family, no way.
"Kane, what am I going to do?"
"No one can answer that for you, babe."
"I love her but I love you...I don't want to lose you."
"You won't lose me, ever, unless you want to."
"Why would I ever want to?"
"I don't know...because of who I am and what I did."
"You're not that person anymore...I love you, Kane, and I always will."
"I love you too, Kirst, I'm just amazed at how you can feel this way about me."
"Who wouldn't, you're amazing."
