Please review! This is the sequel to Secrets! I know I left a lot of unanswered questions and I now hope to clear some of that confusion up! Thanks to all who read the last story! This story will be written in the third party though so slightly different to the other story!
In the weeks leading up to the wedding Ruby began to notice that her mother seemed distant and afraid. Ruby wanted to help but she didn't know how. She decided it must be just stress from planning the wedding and Tegan's trial coming up. Tegan had of course been denied bail. She was sorry she had hurt Charlie. But she didn't care that she had hurt Brax. It was what she had wanted to do. She knew she would end up in jail for a long time but she deserved it. She had caused so much hurt and pain.
Brax too had noticed Charlie was distant. They hadn't slept together since the fire. Brax had assumed Charlie was just too tired with having to look after Lexi and plan the wedding but now he wasn't sure.
Lexi had been sleeping, eating and doing everything she should. She was a good quiet baby who didn't cry much. So why was Charlie still reluctant to sleep with Brax?
Charlie knew the others had noticed her behaviour but she didn't want them to know why she was scared. It was of course because she was afraid Brax would think she was ugly if he saw her burns. The doctors had decided she wouldn't need plastic surgery to cover them up. She feared Brax wouldn't want anything to do with her if he saw how hideous she was. She put off dress shopping for as long as she could but eventually Bianca and Ruby forced her to go.
She didn't want a dress that would show the scars on her arms or legs. She chose a long flowing dress that was strap less but had chiffon covering the arms. Charlie had to admit she looked good in the dress.
Charlie was scared. She was scared of Brax hating her. She was terrified of losing her little girl.
She was scared of commitment.
Okay this is going to be a few chapters but it will only be a short story! Please review!
