kathleen's pov:
"no van. just let me say something," i blurt out, without even intending to interrupt him. we stop in the middle of the street. "i love you. i have never stopped. and i've missed you more than i'd like to think. and i know that you must hate me, in fact i'm surprised we're even having this conversation," his eyes almost look as if they are welling with tears, although i can't really tell. "and i'm sorry. i'm so so sorry." my eyes are starting to fill again. tears start rolling down my face. "i don't know what ever went through my mind. i'm not asking you to take me back, because i know i don't deserve a second chance, but i just wanted to let you know exactly how i'm feeling." my heart is racing, faster than i'd ever felt it before. he looks taken aback.
"what?" he looks puzzled, have i said something wrong? "kath, um" he gulps. he looks nervous, which is an unfamiliar state to see him in. he's not even normally nervous for big gigs. "i love you too. every time i get up on stage and sing, i'm singing to you. god, i've missed you. so much that i can't sleep, and when i do, i dream of you. but you hurt me so bad Kathleen Evans , you hurt me really bad,"
"i'm sorry," i reply, watching his eyes fill with tears. "i'd do anything to take it back though van. seriously anything."
"i know."

van's pov:
it must be at least half four at this point. i think i can see the sky getting ready for the sunrise. we're pouring our hearts out to each other. and i don't know exactly how i feel. but i can feel it. all i know is i want her now. "so, let's just forget it all, ey," i see her eyes reflecting me. "start fresh," i say, praying that she wants the same. "van," she pauses, almost as if she's overwhelmed by everything going on. "are you sure?"
"100%," i start. "that is, if you want it too of course,"
"of course i want it," she responds, with a soft certainty in her voice. "i want us." she's looking right in my eye, and it's melting my heart. "but," she starts. i stop. everything stops. "i don't want to hurt you again. i love you too much."
