"Where do you think Robbie is?" Tasha asked Kim. She was starting to get bored now, they had been waiting there for over half an hour for their friend. He's never usually this late she thought to herself.

"He'll be here soon." Kim said although he sounded more like he was trying to convince himself. Just then he caught sight of Robbie walking along the road…

"It's alright Tash…he's here now!" He laughed, but then he caught sight of who was next to Robbie. Oh no! He thought.

A pang of guilt coursed through Kim's body, it had been only a few days ago that he had let slip some of his feelings for Kit. He remembered how he had deliberately ignored her as she called after him that day on the beach.

"Sorry I'm late guys… someone here took so long getting ready…" He looked at Kit angrily. "…but it's alright we're here now! Let's go get a boat." He said forcing calm into his voice. He walked to Tasha and placed a loving arm around her, which she held onto and laughed. They walked ahead leaving Kit and Kim alone facing an awkward silence.

"Hi." Kit said suddenly nervous about being alone with Kim.

"Hey." Kim replied just as nervous. "We…err should probably catch up with them," he said pointing to Robbie and Tasha.

They walked towards the boats without a sound, both desperately thinking of something they could say to relax the situation… just to stop it being so uncomfortable.

"Listen Kit about the other day I err… just wanted to say…err…" Kim stammered. He had no idea what he wanted to say to her, but now she had stopped and was looking up at him expectantly with her sparkling green eyes. He started to panic…he really hadn't prepared for this.

" I just err…wondered if you had told your mum you're going yet?" He could see the disappointment on Kit's face, he watched as her eyes fell to the floor and he was filled with guilt.

She had been expecting for him to explain everything to her, he was going to tell her everything she thought. But things were never that easy.

"No. I'm going though…unless….. I mean I can't think that there's a reason to stay. Can you?" She asked hopefully, but Kim had turned away from her…he had turned to answer Robbie who had called him from the boat.

"Alright mate we'll be right there." He shouted. "I think we better hurry up." He said gesturing towards the boat, but Kit was too angry she wanted to run away and to hide from him.

"Fine" She said with a bitter tone to her voice.

She climbed in the boat and set off.

Kim kept trying to look at her as they soared through the waves but it was too hard, he'd messed this whole situation up. In truth he had heard every word Kit had said to him, but had just chosen to ignore it. He had wanted to answer for her to stay for him… so that he could look after her but he hadn't…he'd chickened out of it and was now sitting on a boat racing towards the horizon unable to even look up… never mind look at the girl he was feeling more sure that he loved.

"Robbie… don't you think were going a bit fast? Were coming up to the coves…do you want to maybe slow down." Tasha laughed but Robbie wasn't.

"I err…can't stop it!" He said starting to panic.

"What do you mean you can't stop it?" Kit shouted.

"I mean I can't stop it!... the engine won't turn off and I can't get it to slow down!" He shouted back attempting everything he could to get the boat to stop. The coves were suddenly become far to close for comfort.

"Well just turn the boat around so were at least away from the rocks!" Kim suggested turning the handle of the boat only for it to snap right off in his hand. The four friends looked at each other in disbelief.

"Kim!!" Tasha shouted.

"What I didn't mean it….listen we're going to have to jump." He said frantically searching for life jackets.

"I can't believe this…." Robbie said helping Kim search for the life jackets "… there are no life jackets!" He shouted.

"Listen we have to jump now! Come on!" Kim shouted. " We'll make sure we meet over by the stretch of beach over their ok!?"

Robbie nodded then pulled Tasha towards him and they both jumped of the side of the boat together.

" Ready?... Kit…are you ready?" He said urgently.

"I don't think I can." She said scared.

"Hey…we have to jump now…you don't have to worry I won't let anything happen to you… I promise." He grabbed her hand and the pair jumped in together.

Their bodies hit the water and for a moment he lost her.

I let go…I let go! He screamed to himself. He tried desperately to regain his surroundings and find her again and as soon as his head hit the surface he was screaming her name.

"KIT? KIT?"

He heard a coughing noise of someone who had just hit the surface from behind him and spun round to find Kit fighting to keep herself above the waves.

He swam as fast as he could to her.

"It's ok, it's ok! I've got you. I've got you." He said pulling her close to him and stroking her now wet mattered hair. She rested her head on his chest fighting with her feet to keep herself above water. They both stared at the boat now seconds from impact and gasped in horror as it smashed to pieces on impact with the rocks.

Kim stared at Kit, who stared right back. "Come on we need to start to swim." He said gently releasing her a little so they could begin to try and get to safety.

There you have it. I hope you all enjoyed. Please review I'd love to know what you think.

Thanks lots of luv
