As soon as I saw the new storyline involving the new kid called Jett I couldn't help adding my own personal touch so here it goes.
Brax pulled up slowly outside the address Leah had given him. Brax and Leah had decided it was probably a good idea to speak to the parents of the child who was bullying VJ at school. Brax suggested seen as the boy came from Mangrove River it would be better if he spoke to them.
Brax watched curiously as the Jett (the boy in question) played soccer on the street with a few other kids. He waited for a few minutes before getting out of his Ute. As soon as he started walking to the door of the house he realised the kids knew who he was. Brax was quite well known in Mangrove River and usually in that was a good thing but in this case he wasn't so sure.
Brax knocked firmly on the door and waited a few moments, there wasn't a reply so he knocked again "If you're looking for my mum she is probably round the back" Jett interrupted.
"Thanks mate" Brax replied before walking round the side of the house towards the back garden the first thing he noticed was the line full of washing and the kids toys scattered around the yard "Hello" Brax called as he looked around the garden.
It wasn't until he waked through the washing that he noticed the barn and stables right at the bottom; it was there he saw her.
A woman who had blown him away almost 13 years ago and she could still do it now.
This woman was built like Leah, with familiar hair colour and skin tone, she was wearing a pair of short denim shorts and a red and grey checked shirt, her hair was pulled back in a tight bun, she was also wearing green Wellington boots.
As Brax walked towards the woman he was shocked when he realised she was a lot skinnier then he remembered, as he got closer the woman turned around. As soon as she saw his face she dropped the bucket she was holding, a load of food spilled all over the floor and one of the horses had started to eat it "Oh my god" the woman gasped as she continued to stare at Brax.
"Hello Courtney" Brax replied as equally as shocked to see her "How have you been?"
Courtney just came out of the stable and locked the door behind her, Brax followed her into the barn "Courtney please" Brax tried but Courtney just ignored his pleas.
"You should go" she finally managed.
"What that's it after all this time that's all you've got to say to me?" Brax frowned, he could see by the look on her face Courtney was furious at his remark.
"Oh believe me I have plenty I need to say to you, but I don't think you can handle it" Courtney replied harshly.
"Look I'm not here for an argument I came you talk about your son" Brax explained. As soon as he said the word son he got Courtney's attention.
"What do you want to talk about him for, what do you know?" she snapped defensively. Normally this would have rang alarm bells in Brax's head but on this occasion he was more concerned about sorting VJ's bullying issues.
"He has been bullying the son of a friend of mine and I was hoping you could have a word with him" Brax said softly hoping Courtney wasn't the same quick tempered girl he remembered.
"Well he obviously needs to man up a bit, god Brax since when did you talk to parents about 'issues' your normally the first to deal with this sort of thing yourself" Courtney reminded him of his old ways. The ways he lived by before he met Charlie.
"People told me you had gone soft, but I didn't believe it for a second but maybe they were on to something aye" Courtney answered smugly.
"Courtney please, I want this sorting Jett can't keep behaving like this, don't you discipline him" Brax argued.
"Don't you dare criticize me on raising my son, I have done a fine job so far" Courtney spat furiously.
"If you call bullying fine" Brax replied harshly.
"Jett isn't a bully, he is just finding his personality" Courtney defended her son.
"What by hitting out, this isn't going to go away you need to talk to him about this" Brax snapped.
"Fine" Courtney frowned, Brax could see she was not happy about his arrival so decided to leave her to it.
Courtney followed Brax out and watched him drive away in his Ute before turning to Jett "Hey whoever you are picking on at school it stops right now do you hear me" Courtney scolded.
Jett just rolled his eyes at his mum's warning "I mean it Jett, I don't want him coming round here again do you understand" Courtney added sternly before walking away.
Not a very long first chapter but I just wanted to put it out there. This won't be a very long story. And I'm sorry to all you Chax fans but Charlie has died in this story.
