Guys, this is my first HAA fanfic, please be nice. I hope to update soon and remember to review
We were were ready to move on, to start a new life. To be a family. We were so happy. Until the following events that occurred.
Charlie's POV
I was getting ready for my last day of last day of being Sargent Buckton, tomorrow I would just be just Charlie Buckton. I was putting my badge on when, *Knock, Knock* who could that be. I went to answer it. "Hello, Sargent." He said. His hands behind his back. He was holding something but before I could find out what it was, BANG! I was lying on the floor for what seemed like hours. Jake had come to kill me, which was no surprise. I had killed Hammer, his brother, out of self-defence; of course he would want revenge. I dozed off. I seemed to wake up, well wake up is probably not the right words. I became conscious. I could hear people talking. "Case, call an ambulance."Brax instructed. "Brax, what's happening? What's wrong with her?" "Charlie's been shot." "What? By who?" Ruby asked. Ruby was screaming at Brax and Brax was screaming at Casey and Casey just did what he was told. Suddenly everything went black.
Brax's POV
Casey, Ruby and I had just been in the city for a few hours, checking that everything was in order for the move later today. We got home and there she was. She was lying on the floor in a swarm of blood. I froze and then I realized. It was Charlie. She had been shot. I had to save her. I ripped off my shirt and put it on her wound. "Case, call an ambulance." I screamed at him. He grabbed his phone and dialled triple zero. The next minute Ruby's screaming at me "Brax, What's happening? What's wrong with her?" "Charlie's been shot." "What? By who?" Ruby was screaming at me, I was screaming Casey and Casey was just doing what he was told. I think he was just in shock, which one of us wasn't. Charlie kept coming in and out of consciousness. Finally the ambulance got here. We went down to the hospital. Charlie was rushed to theatre. I can't lose her. I thought to myself. Charlie is my life. I can't lose her.
Ruby's POV
Casey, Brax and I had just got back from the city. We had been checking that our new house was already for the move later today. We walked through the door and there she was, Charlie she was lying on the floor, bleeding. She could have been here for hours. Brax was the first one to react. He ripped his shirt on Charlie's wound. "Case, call an ambulance." He screamed. Casey looked like he had just seen a ghost, he was pale. Casey grabbed his phone and dialled triple 000. I didn't know what was happening. " Brax, What happening? What's wrong with her?" I screamed at Brax. He waited a minute before answering. "Charlie's been shot." Brax yelled back at me. "What? By who?" Who would want to hurt Charlie? Charlie would never hurt anyone. Was it something Brax had got her into. The ambulance got here as fast as it could. We all drove down to the hospital. Charlie was rushed into theatre. Please, Please, Please, be alright.I thought to myself. I sat down and I waited for what seemed like hours. I kept saying that she would pull through but it wasn't working.
Brax's POV
I was sitting there waiting for news. The docters kept telling me to go home and they'd call us if there were any changes but I wanted to stay. Casey had taken Ruby home. She didn't want to at first but the doctors persuaded her. Finally Sid came out of theatre. His hands were covered in blood. "Is she alright, Doc?" I asked. "Mr Braxton, Charlie lost a lot of blood but we had a donor come into donate blood. It matched Charlie's. She is in a critical condition. Only time will tell" "So, are you saying we just have to wait?" "Yes, I am. She is on life support. Now you need to go home and get some rest. Come back in the morning." I couldn't argue with that so I went home. Casey was asleep on the couch, Ruby was probably in his room. I had a sandwich and went to bed. I coundn't sleep. I was so worried about Charlie. I looked at the clook it was 2:56 am. I don't know how i fell asleep but the next minute Casey was waking me up. Casey, Ruby and I went down to the hospital. Charlie was the same as yesterday, she was lying there motionless. The doc came into check on her. He said that she may never wake up and that the only thing keeping her alive was the machine. Ruby as Charlie's next of kin, it was her choice to turn off the machine. Ruby started crying. She didn't know what to do. As much as I didn't want her to turn off the machine, I knew it was for the best and for the first time in my life, I broke down. I loved Charlie more than anything else in the world. I didn't know what I would do without her.
Ruby's POV
We woke up and went to the hospital. The doctor explained Charlie's condition. I didn't want to believe that Charlie might never wake up. Sid told us that Charlie was pretty much gone and that the only thing keeping her breathing and her heart beating was the machine. I hated seeing Charlie like that. She was lying there, motionless, not moving. Charlie had always been so live and active. Charlie wouldn't want to be hooked up to this machine. Brax stayed with me when the machine was turned off but as soon as he heard the final beep he broke down and walked out the room.
