PROLOUGE

Will, Grace, Jack and Karen have gone on a summer caravan holiday. They are staying in caravan's Will and Grace in one, Jack and Karen in another. The park they are staying at is right next to the beach, they don't have any other caravan's near them as they are in a small woodlands place surrounded by trees; there is a small clearing between the trees which leads straight onto the beach.

The story starts around 8pm the day they arrive. As Will and Grace have been taking it turns to drive there, they got tied from the driving and have decided to take an early night. They have just got in from a small restaurant near the beach.

'God its still early' jack moaned walking into the caravan with Karen

'I know but Wilma and Gracie are tied' Karen replied sarcastically

'Well for one thing I'm taking this suit off'

'Me too' jack and Karen walked into their bedroom, while Karen was unbuttoning her blouse jack had an idea,

'Kare'

'What honey?'

'Put on your beach wear'

'What? Why?'

'Come on I have something we can do'

'What jack?'

'Your see' he answered handing her, her beach wear, at first she hesitated but then she took the clothes from jack and put them on.

Jack was wearing white cotton trousers and white fitted t-shirt. Karen was wearing a black long sarong that dragged on the floor and a white long cheesecloth top, both weren't wearing shoes.

'Ok ready?' jack asked Karen

'No but go on, don't we need shoes?'

'No…come on' jack said taking Karen's hand. He led out of the caravan and on to the clearing of the beach, they just stood there, it was a clear night the stars were out and the moon was full and reflecting into the sea, no one was on the beach.

'Wow jack it looks beautiful at night'

'I know don't it, come on' jack grabbed Karen hand and lead her to the water.

'Jack I'm not going swimming' jack had started to go a bit in the water

'Come on kare its warm we can walk in it'

'Where too?'

'Where ever it takes us, come on' Karen slowly went over to jack and into the water.

'You're right it is warm' jack took Karen's hand and they started to water alone the beach in the water.

After about 5 minutes Karen broke the silence,

'So what made you bring me down here?'

'Well I've always had this dream that was walking on the beach at night with the moon full and the stars'

'So why haven't you ever taken your date down on the beach?'

'Promise not to laugh'

'Promise'

'Well I don't why but I've always wanted to take a woman like this, I don't know it seems better with a woman, does that sound weird'

'No actually Jackie it don't'' both smiled at each other then went silent again while walking. Jack this time broke the silence

'Kare what is the top 10 thing's you like about me?'

'What?' Karen asked confused

'If you could pick 10 things' you like about me what would it be?'

'Where is this coming from?'

'I was reading it in a magazine ask your best friend what are the top 10 things they like about you'

'Do I have to put it in any order?'

'No'

'Ok then' Karen started 'you have the most beautiful blue eyes, I love your dress sense, and you're too good looking, you care about your friends, your fun to be with, you funny' karen stops to think for a bit then continues but says it in a more serious voice 'I love the way you and me play with each other touching taking baths together, I love the way you are so affectionate with me you know the way we cuddle kiss when we fall asleep in each others arms in a embrace or when we are just laying or sitting there when you play with my hair, and lastly I love the way we are the way I love you and you love me'

'Wow kare' jack said quite shocked at what she had said, and then continued 'Wanna know the 10 things I like about you?'

'What?' Karen asked unsure

'Ok well I love your breasts, I love how you always look great you hair make-up and clothes even in bed, I love your height your just so tiny it's cute, I love how you just say what you think, I love how powerful you can be, I love it when you show emotion I know its only to me but I love it when I can help you, I love it how you help me. I love how we play with each other you touching me I'm touching you; I love it how we are affectionate with each embracing cuddling up entwining our fingers with each other or in each others hair, and lastly I love the way I love you and the way you love me' they both stop and smile at each other for a bit,

'Hay I didn't know how far we walked' jack said looking back

'Oh yea' Karen said smiling

'Come on I'll race ya back' he grabbed her hand and both started running back up the beach.

Half way up the beach, both still running

'Jackie lets stop' Karen said and they both stop

'What's up?'

'Nothing lets just stay here for a bit'

'Ok' jack laid down on the sand followed by Karen both cuddled up Karen placed her head on his chest, jack continued 'look up to the moon, it's smiling'

'What are you on about jack?'

'Look' jack leaned up on to his side and closer into Karen and pointed up to the moon 'see the darker patches, look carefully….see' jack and Karen looked up to the moon a bit longer

'Oh yea Jackie…I can see it'

'See it's smiling' jack replied laying back down. They were both silent for a bit loner just looking up at the moon.

'Hay kare talk to me' Jack said breaking the silence

'What about Jack?'

'I don't know anything'

'Well you give me something to talk about and I'll talk'.

'Tell me about your past'

'Why do you want to know about my past?'

'You said one day your tell me everything that went on'

'Not tonight Jack'

'Please kare it can't be that bad'

'Jack no' Karen said firmly

'Oh come on Kare'

'Why Jack why do you want to know'

'You told me one day your tell me, so why not'

'Cause you're be like everyone else' Karen was getting more upset

'What do you mean like everyone else?' Jack was getting angry; he knew she was keeping something

'My mum'

'HAY don't you dare compare me to you're mum, you told me she was a bitch, so are you calling me a bitch' Jack said sitting up

'Ok I'm sorry, but please Jack not now' Karen sat up begging him

'Fine you know what forget it be the ice queen bitch like you always are'

'What?' Karen was shocked with the way he was acting

'You shut everyone out, show no emotion or feelings towards anyone else, all you care about is yourself no wonder you're mum don't speak to you'

'HOW DARE YOU' with that Karen went to hit him, but he grab her hand just in time, she just looked in his eyes, she could see the anger and with that she burst out crying

'Cant it be that bad, you want to know how bad it is raped at the age of 16 by my mum boyfriend, how bad do you want it to be' with that Karen started crying,

Jack was in total shock he couldn't believe the last to minutes, they were so happy together, then they were having this viscous argument, and now Karen was crying saying she was raped.

'Oh my god Karen I'm so sorry' he said sitting up not known what to do or say so he pulled her in for a cuddle 'I'm so sorry Karen' Karen looked up at him

'It's ok' she replied wiping away the tears as they both lay back down

'Tell me to shut up if you want, but you can tell me kare' both Karen and jack were silent for a minute then Karen continued

'I haven't ever told anyone before'

'That's ok you don't have to' jack said secretly hopping she would

'No I want to' she replied she turned over to lay on her side and cuddled back up to jack then continued 'it started when I was 12 my mum got a boyfriend Simon, he was also a con artist so they hooked up together. At first it was normal well I thought it was normal he would buy me things you know clothes, looking back now they were rather reavling, but then one day he starting touching my thigh then it carried on from there getting worse touching me where he shouldn't. I didn't want to think he was sexually abusing me, it sounded disgusting it made me feel dirty I was always wondering what was it that I was doing to make him do this, it went on for years then I found a cure that could ease the pain, alcohol, I would keep bottles of vodka in my room and as the years went on I found myself drinking more but I wouldn't get drunk or anything because I was so use to it but it helped it did ease the pain. Then one night my mum was out he can bursting in my bedroom he was both angry and so drunk……after I was in so much pain physically and mentally I just felt so sick I just wanted to die, so I drank neat bottles of vodka and I got a knife out, I just wanted he pain to go away I tried to slit my wrist but I couldn't I didn't have the courage so I just kept drinking and drinking but the pain wouldn't go away, that night I must of drunk myself unconscious cause I remember waking up mum and Simon were sitting beside me I started screaming I thought he was going to hurt me, mum asked why I was screaming so I told her and next thing I know she slapped me in the face and told me never to say things like that again, she thought I was making up because I was drunk. She didn't talk to me for the whole of the day, and that night she went out and he did it again, I knew mum wouldn't believe me, and to make sure she didn't Simon after pinned me down and poured vodka down my throat so I was drunk again, I told mum again and this time we had a massive argument and she kicked me out telling me I was a mistake and she never loved me' Karen had a few tears rolling down her cheek, even jack looked like he was gonna burst out crying

'Oh Karen' was all that he could manage to say, while she continued

'After I went I got myself an apartment and over the months I stopped drinking. But then I met Stan'

'How did Stan get you back into drinking?' jack asked wondering why does she drink now

'Cause Stan reminded me of Simon the only difference was Stan rich'

'Karen Stan didn't…. you know' Jack asked

'not like Simon but he would come in from work demand sex, and if I didn't want to you know he would still get it, sometimes it hurt more than other times, but the drink helped the pain ease'

'Oh my god Karen why did you stay with him and why didn't you say anything'

'I don't know Jackie money big house and I've learnt to hide my feelings, you know if I don't show or tell how I'm feeling then everyone would think I'm this ice queen with everything and that seemed an easier way out'

'Karen you shouldn't just suffer in silence, I meant to be your best friend I'm meant to help you, I may not of been able to of been there when Simon did it, but Stan I was there Karen I was living with you two I would of helped'

'I know Jackie…..you know your different'

'What do you mean?'

'From Simon and Stan, with you everything we do means something, I can trust you I know that when we have baths together and get completely drunk that you wouldn't do anything to me and you give me so much affection'

'That's because I love you'

'You're the only person that has ever said that to me…I love you to' Both Jack and Karen look at each other smiling

'Come here Kare' Jack gets Karen into a tight embrace, holding her wishing he could take all her pain away, he continued 'Karen promise me no more secrets'

'I promise'

'Come on lets go you feel cold' jack helped Karen up, he started walking of when Karen pulled him back so they were facing each other

'I'm so sorry jack I didn't mean anything I said, thanks for listening and been in my life'

'I know Im sorry to, now I'm in your life I'm not going to leave, and I'm going to protect you, you need to realise that'

'I do, and I'm not going anywhere either and I will always make sure you get the things you want' both smiled at each other, then Jack leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips 'come on lets go'. Both walked of hand in hand.
