"Thank God she told us" Kirsten said to Sandy later when they were alone in their room, while she was taking off her jewellery.

"Yeah, but she could have told us six months ago, the first time I asked" Sandy answered. She turned to face him.

"Sandy, don't be mad at her because of that. She was afraid of this guy, that he was going to hurt her again. And I don't blame her, I would have been terrified if it was me who had been raped"

"Kirsten, if that ever happens to you, promise me you will let me know right away, no matter how scared you are" he said, sounding very serious. She smiled at his concern.

"Of course honey! I didn't say I would keep that kind of thing a secret" she reassured him.

"Good, cause if anything happens to you…" he said, wrapping his arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around his neck. She smiled and kissed him deeply. He responded. After a while he pulled away and hugged her instead.

"Kirsten" he said quietly.

"Yes, honey?"

"Do you thing you could talk to Kelly? Help her get over this." He said.

"Sure, but how am I supposed to do that? I can't understand her pain. I can't understand what she has been through." Kirsten sighed. She pulled away from the hug, still with her arms around him, and looked into his eyes.

"Then try to understand, ask her about it, but don't push her. If she doesn't want to talk about it, move slowly" he advised. She nodded. He pushed her down onto the bed, with himself on top. She giggled.

Kelly was already in bed, though not sleeping. She thought about what she just had told her parents, now she didn't have to bear the pain alone. What they didn't know though, was that this guy Logan seemed to be following her. If she were at the beach, she could see him there, when she had been at the mall with Kirsten, she had spotted him. And if he saw that she'd noticed him, he blew her a kiss, then he smiled uncomfortably at her. She wouldn't be surprised if he was outside her house right now. That thought scared her. That was why she was so afraid of him, he always showed up, he made it so hard for her to move on, kept reminding her. She turned around, and fell into sleep, plagued by nightmares and memories.

The next morning she woke up early, bathing in sweat. She heard footsteps from outside her door. 'Dad' she thought. She hurried up from her bed, opened the door and saw that her father were about to leave the house to go surfing.

"Dad" she whispered. He stopped, then turned around. "Kelly, you're up early" he sounded a bit surprised

"I know. I had a nightmare. Are you going surfing?" she asked

"Yeah, it's so peaceful in the mornings" he said. Sandy wasn't sure where this was leading.

"Can I come with you? It's been a while"

"Of course! Why don't you go get ready and I'll take out your board" he sounded really happy, and that made Kelly happy.

"Ok, see you soon" she smiled and disappeared into her room to search for her wetsuit.

Sandy smiled too on his way down the stairs. He unlocked the front door and stepped out into the early morning light. He saw someone hiding in the bushes behind Kirsten's car, but before he could do anything, the man jumped to his feet and ran for his life, away from the strange man and away from the house. He was on his way to the beach…
