Kim sat on his bed, head in hands knowing that the woman he loved was probably waiting outside by the car waiting with patient excitement for her mum to hurry up and find her keys.
She probably won't even be thinking about me. I really blew this didn't I!" He thought to himself sadly.
He couldn't believe how badly he'd messed things up with her. When she asked him to tell her what to do all he should have done was shout "STAY". He needed air, slowly he got up from his bed and made for the door.
"Mum, please will you hurry up!" Kit sat outside by the car waiting for her mum. Never in her life had she been more excited but apprehensive in her hole life. She knew she was going to Africa for all the wrong reasons this time, and yet she still wouldn't admit that she wanted nothing more than to stay and go and find Kim. But she didn't know if it was her pride or something else that was just forbidding her to give in.
"Alright love…found them!" Her mum smiled jiggling her keys.
"Finally!" She laughed. She moved to get in the car but suddenly stopped. "Mum if I wanted to come home could I?" She asked sounding almost frightened.
"Kit…. of course you could. This will always, always be your home and you will be welcome her forever! You are my daughter Kit and I love you so much." She placed a gentle hand on her daughters face. "If you ever, ever need me to talk to or anything while you rout there you make sure you get in contact!"
"I will mum, I promise." She replied her eyes filling with tears. They shared a long hug before they knew that it was time to leave.
Kim walked silently along the deserted beach, all he could think about was Kit and where she might be now.
"Strike me flammin roan you look a bit depressed!" Kim turned round to see Alf carrying that old familiar fishing net that he spent hours with down the beach.
"Ah, I'm alright!" Kim lied.
"Let me guess, it's about a Sheila!" Alf laughed heartily placing his fishing gear down.
"How did you know! I've really messed things up Alf."
"We wouldn't be talking about young Kit Hunter would we!" Alf asked with a sly smile on his face.
Kim nodded " She's going away, like now and I had the opportunity to make her change her mind but I didn't take it, I just got all defensive and angry and now… she's leaving!"
"Well it's a bit obvious what you've got to do mate!"
"It is!" Kim asked confused.
"Well of course it is! You like her don't you and you don't want her to go right!"
"Yeah!"
"Well then you've got to go after her, tell her that before she goes and then she can make a decision about going!"
"It's not that simple… it's too late!"
"Nothing's ever too late Kim. You're wasting time standing here with me though!" He stated totally unfazed concentrating on his fishing.
Kim seemed to take a minute to realize that it was that obvious, he couldn't believe he hadn't seen it until now… he needed to stop her!
He shouted a thank you to Alf as he sprinted up the beach knowing full well that he'd have to run fast to try and catch her before she left.
Hope you enjoyed!
Lots of love
