Chapter Two

"Josh, what are you doing here?" asked Kirsty. Josh was starting to scare her, the way he was leering at her.

"I came back for you, Kirst," he said grinning evilly. That sent a shiver down her spine. She backed away.

"What do you mean?" asked Kirsty nervously.

"I love you, Kirst," said Josh. He kept looking at her, leering at her. Ughh.

"N-no you don't," she said. He grabbed at her and she ran, all the way back home.

HOME

"Hello?" good thought Kirsty. No-one home. She walked in from the backdoor and opened the front door, to let in some air. Something caught her eye on the floor. An envelope, with her name on it. She recognised the writing.

Dear Kirst,

                   I want you to know how much I love you. I never stopped loving you. I missed you so much that I needed to come back for you. I saw you on the wharf this morning. I nearly ran up to you there and then. I wanted to wipe away your tears, hold you close again. Just to touch you, to smell you again would be heaven for me. When I knocked you out of the car it was because I loved you and I wanted you to be happy. I knew you'd be happy with your family. But I realise how much I need you now.

I love you and I'll fight for your love,

                                                Forever yours,

                                                      Kane

So she had seen his car. She knew it. She loved him so much too. He didn't need to fight for her. Heaven would be to hold him again too. Where was he? She needed him. She wanted to go to the wharf but what if Josh was there?

She needn't have worried about Josh.

"Hello Kirsty," he said. He was at the back door. She ran to the wharf, but he followed. She ran back and then to the beach. She lost him along the way. She kept running though. She looked to see if he was following her and ran into someone.

"Oh sorry, I-," then she saw who it was.

"Kane," she said her voice breaking with emotion. She hugged him close and he hugged back. She started crying into him.

"Kirst, what's wrong?" he asked. She melted inside. She missed the way he said her name.

"I missed you so much," she said, "I love you," Kane was overjoyed. Oh, he loved her too, so much it hurt sometimes.

"I love you too, Kirst." He said, stroking her hair. "I love you too."

Kirsty pulled back and looked into his eyes, those beautiful eyes. He stared back into her big brown eyes. They kissed each other. Neither wanted the kiss to end, but they knew it had to. There would be more, now that Kane was back. They walked hand in hand, talking.

"Why did you leave me, Kane?" asked Kirsty. She wasn't mad anymore.

"I never stopped loving you Kirst; I just wanted what was best for you. But I couldn't live without you." He said, "Now I know that. I love you"

"I love you too," she replied. She never wanted to stop saying it. They kissed again and again.

The sat down after a while, Kirsty's head resting against his chest. She could her his heartbeat. They talked for a long time. Kirsty talked about Angie, Kane talked about life on the road.

"I really, missed you Kirst," he said.

"I missed you to. What are we going to do? I can't loose you again, but I don't want to lie anymore." She said.

"I know. I can't leave you again. But your family will never accept me." He said.

"We could leave again," she said.

"But I want what's best for you and you need your family," he said.

"Kane, you're what's best for me, you're all I need." She said. He looked into her eyes as they filled with tears.

"Is that what you want though?" he asked, "You won't have your family or friends."

"All I need is you," she said and they kissed. They decided together to leave.

MIDNIGHT

Kirsty ran to the Wharf with a bag on her back.

"Well hello," said Josh. How did he know she was there?

"You wouldn't be running away would you? Because I need you here," he said.

"No, go away Josh" she said and walked away. He grabbed her, but someone grabbed him.

"You wouldn't be bothering her, would you?" said Kane and he punched Josh right in the nose.

Kirsty ran to him and hugged him. Tears of relief ran down her face.

The got in the car and drove away. After a while Kirsty fell asleep on his shoulder. She dreamed only of Kane.
