Ruby and April: Friends Forever

Chapter 1:

Ruby was sitting on her bed in her caravan, tear stains down her cheeks. She was thinking about how much her life had stuffed up this year, and what she was going to do with her life. All her family were dead, she had lied to her boyfriend about being pregnant so he ended the relationship, and she hadn't heard from any of her friends in while, at least, none her own age. Leah was always there for her, which was nice, but wasn't the most exciting company. She had no job, and was living in a caravan by herself. This was running through her mind, causing her to cry some more. Her life had no direction.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Hey Ruby, its April," April said pleasantly, in a sing-song voice.

Ruby wiped her eyes and answered the door. She was glad to have a visitor.

Ruby: Hey! What are you doing here?

April: Well I was just thinking about you and I wanted to come see how... hey, have you been crying?

Ruby: Oh, It's nothing. Come in!

April: Thanks. How are you?

Ruby: I don't want to dump this on you of anything, but I am living in a caravan by myself and I have no job. Please help!

April: Don't worry babe, you'll be back on your feet in no time, and I'll help you do that!

Ruby: Thanks beautiful

Ruby notices April is holding a bag with lollies and chocolate sticking out of the top.

Ruby: What's in the bag?

April: Well, we haven't hung out for ages, and I miss that. So I thought we could have a sleepover here tonight! Oh, but if now's not a good time, or you don't want...

Ruby: Oh my gosh! That sounds fantastic!

April: Great! Well I was thinking chocolate, lollies, popcorn, movie marathons, girly talk and a massive catch-up!

Ruby: You have made my day! So where should we start... how about with you and dex!

April: Aw yes, things are going great, he uh, he stayed the night the other night.

Ruby: Go you! So, how was it? Did he perform up to your standards? I want to hear every little dirty detail!

April: Oh, it was much more passionate, and so much more meaningful then with Heath. Speaking of him, did you know that he's with Bianca now?

Ruby: No I didn't! Wow, how do you feel about that?

April: Well at first I was really against it, but I just want her to be happy. Now, enough about me how are things in your life?

Ruby: Uh, well...

April: I didn't want to bring this up straight away, but I heard about you losing the baby and I'm so, so sorry!

Ruby: About that-

April: I can't imagine what it must feel like,

Ruby: April, I-

April: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you,

Ruby: I was never pregnant!

April: What?

Ruby: Romeo was going to break up with me, and I heard you saying how Heath is devoted to Bianca now they have a baby, and I didn't want to lose him so I lied! I faked a pregnancy!

April: Oh, Ruby! What did you think was going to happen? And how did he find out?

Ruby: I thought I might get pregnant soon... and I was the one that told him. He was so happy and I felt so guilty! But now he won't talk to me, and he ran off back to Indi! This is all such a mess!

April gives ruby a long, warm hug then strokes her hair while speaking to her gently

April: its ok, we are going to get your life sorted. We will talk it through right now!

Ruby: Thank you so much for your support, but that's easier said than done.

April: Just try! Let's focus on 3 topics, Living arrangements, relationships and a job. First, you need to get out of this caravan. I was thinking of moving out, buying a small house here in summer bay, and I need a flatmate. What do you think of, maybe, moving in with me?

Ruby squeals and jumps up and hugs April

Ruby: Oh my gosh, that's the best idea ever! It will be so much fun! My life is looking happier already! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!

April giggles.

April: Well I can't wait! Now relationships, we will go to that nightclub in yabby creek? Make a routine; let's go there twice a week! There are heaps of hot guys there! You will find someone in no time! Dex and I can be your wingmen, but we will have some girls' nights! Oh my gosh, you could be a waitress at restaurant upstairs from there! Or a bartender! The opportunities are endless!

Ruby: This all sounds amazing, but what about money? I have a substantial amount from Charlie's life insurance, so that will do for rent, but...

April: You will earn money from your new job!

Ruby: Ok, I'm in. Wow, I'm going to have a whole new life! This is so exciting! You are my bestest friend! I have missed you so much!

April: Me too! Now, can we please have this sleepover!

Next Time: April and Ruby moving in together, and April tells Irene and Bianca she's moving out. Also: Ruby meets a special someone, or two. Things are steamy, and complicated!
