I'm so sorry I've been away for so long! … Don't u just HATE exams!

Thank u sooo much for all your reviews… I'm sorry I've kept you all waiting so long. This is the penultimate chapter! So next chapter I'll be saying my personal thank you's!

But for now happy reading!

She couldn't believe she had sat there waiting for him…expecting him to suddenly come running up the pathway to tell her he loved her and stop her going! How silly she felt! Kit looked down at her hands forcing tears back as her mum turned the car out of the drive. She wanted to look behind her but she didn't want to be disappointed yet again. Her stomach was knotting knowing that she would be seeing all her old friends… and Alex. She didn't know if she really wanted to see him anymore. She knew that as soon as she saw him she wouldn't be able to stop thinkingthe person she really wanted to be seeing was Kim.

"Are you alright love?" her mum asked gently.

"Yeah mum, I'm alright."

Kim stood there, hands on his knees desperately trying to get his breath back and then suddenly it dawned on him.He didn't want to risk it…he needed to catch the car…even though it was probably impossible he still had to try!

He started running again, though the stitch in his side was cutting into him like a knife he still kept running. He turned the corner and squinted to see the car in the distance.

It's not too far! He thought spurring himself to continue. He took a great intake of air…filling his lungs then started sprinting.

"Was it stupid mum? For me to wait so long for him," Kit asked her mum a tear now rolling down her face,

"Oh Kit!"

"I just… I just wanted him to turn up so badly!" Kit cried wiping tears from her eyes.

"I know you did my love, and I'm so sorry he didn't. I suppose what you have to try and do now, even though it'll be hard, is to try and move on… concentrate on where you're going now and new things you'll be experiencing." Beth reached over and stroked her daughters face.

She turned her attention back to the road glancing at her rear view mirror as she made to turn a corner.

"Wait Kit…. I think… I think!" Beth trailed off bringing the car to an abruptstop at the side of the road.

"What mum...what's going on?" Kit asked puzzled.

"I think Kim's running after the car!" Beth announced straining behind her to see if it was truly him.

"No way!" Kit shouted quickly unbuckling herself from her seat belt. She felt like it took forever to get out of the car. She was straining…straining to see.

Please let it be him. She thought desperately to herself. She stood reluctantly by the car…knowing that it could just be a random person out running; she didn't want to make a fool of herself after all! She held her hand up shielding her eyes from the sun. Then she heard it.

"Kit!" He was shouting her name at the top of his lungs.

She screamed and lost all thought of how she appeared… she started to run laughing happily.

"Kim!" She shouted.

They slowed as they reached each other. Kit had tears running freely down her face.

"I don't want you to go!... I need you to stay. I'm sorry… if I'm being totally selfish but I can't… imagine what I would do… if you left! …I love you Kit!" He panted, holding his side with one hand and holding her hand with his other.

Suddenly there he was standing right in front of her offering to be hers and all she wanted to do was throw her arms around him and tell him she wasn't going anywhere.

"I thought you weren't going to stop me," she cried.

"Not stop you! Don't be silly Miss Hunter…" but he was cut short as Kit threw her arms around him and pulled him in a loving embrace.

"I love you!" she whispered.

Kim picked her up in his arms and swung her round making her scream with happiness. All she could do was laugh… she had never been as happy as she was right then in that moment.

"Ahh I feel like I could scream!" Kim announced loving the feel of her in his arms.

She laughed as he shouted at the top of his lungs "I love Kit hunter!"

Beth pulled up in the car.

"Well, I'm guessing where off back to the house?" she asked smiling

"Erm, you go mum. We'll walk!" Kit smiled her arms wrapped tightly around Kim's waist.

Ok that's it for now! Until next time….

Lots of love
