If you are just tuning in! Make sure you read the first story CHAX before this one; otherwise it will be damn confusing! Ha-ha (even recap on the last chapter if you want so that it makes sense)
OK, this is the beginning of the new CHAX. I am taking on board the alternate ending where you will discover what could have happened on the wedding day.
I loved taking the last CHAX on a journey with you & I hope that you all read on and enjoy this new fanfic.
I love the characters and your reviews, tell me your thoughts and things you loved or liked about each chapter in reviews. XX
The first part may not make sense as much, Charlie has just woken up from dreaming about her wedding (you assume that it was the last chapter of CHAX that she dreamt about) she is paranoid that Georgia is actually dead so I hope you understand xxxx
.
Is it just me or does Henri on Home and Away have a similar back-story to 'Georgia' they both have romantic history with Heath and have kind of a surrogate mother relationship with Casey.

DAYS UNTILL WEDDING: NONE
Charlie woke up breathlessly; her chest was heaving back and forth and her face was flushed. Charlie ran her hands through her long hair and wiped the sweat off her face ferociously. Her mind kept flashing back to the dream- Georgia's blood flowed through her hands; she watched Georgia's eyes slowly close and Heath's blood-curdling cries echoed through her mind. Charlie had dreamed about what her wedding day was like- death and pain was all that it had brought;
Brax rolled over and wiped his eyes sleepily, he propped himself up onto his elbows 'Hey, what's up?' he whispered raising his arm slightly and rubbing Charlie's thigh to comfort her.
Her bloodshot eyes found Brax 'I dreamt about our wedding' she breathed
Brax smiled and sat up. 'How was it?' He asked happily
Charlie felt tears form around her eyes as her mind floated back to the vivid memories in her mind. 'I have to call Georgia' Charlie suddenly decided, she hurriedly reached for her mobile but Brax grabbed her hand to stop her. Charlie struggled against Brax's grip. 'Stop it, I need to check that Georgia is ok' Charlie insisted. Brax pulled Charlie away from the phone once more until she gave in to his resistance. 'Why, Charlie its 1 in the morning?' He asked confused
Charlie pouted lightly and stifled back tears. 'Georgia is dead, her body- I saw her body in my dream' she whispered.
Brax looked even more confused, he pulled Charlie's body into his own. 'She is fine, Georgie isn't dead- it was just a nightmare' Brax soothed, he stroked Charlie's sweating forehead.
Charlie was still worked up; the dream had seemed so real. She had fully believed that Georgia had died in their arms.
'Please just let me check?' Charlie whispered after a moment of silence had passed. Brax sighed, he wiped the sleep out of his eyes and grabbed his mobile of the bedside table. He punched in Georgia's speed-dial and let it ring on loudspeaker.
Charlie bit her fingernails nervously as the phone's ring echoed through the dark bedroom. 'Why, why isn't she answering?' she murmered
Brax stifled a laugh 'Maybe because its 1am in the morning'
Charlie let a small smile escape before focusing her eyes back on the mobile in Brax's hand. 'That wasn't funny' she muttered.
Brax kissed Charlie's forehead in response.
'Hello. What. I'm still asleep' Georgia's voice suddenly muttered through the phone quietly
Brax felt Charlie let out a breath of air in relief.
'Hey, Georgie are you ok?' Brax asked playing along with Charlie's imagination to prove that Georgia was still alive.
'You…called me at 1 in the morning to check that I am ok?' Georgia snapped back through the phone
Charlie giggled happily 'You are alive!' she laughed
'Uh, yeah…surprise' Georgia muttered.
Charlie closed her eyes and lied back on the bed. Her dream had been so real but it had been a dream. Georgia was alive, the wedding was today and everything was going to be ok.
'So, you guys both...just awake at 1?' Georgia laughed through the phone
'Yeah' Brax breathed
'Do you want to uh get some pizza?' she asked
Charlie sat up in shock 'Get pizza at one in the morning?' She laughed
'I'm hungry and I feel like pizza' Georgia giggled
'You know what. Lets do it, lets get some pizza' Brax agreed
'Yep, ill meet you at the beach in 20 minutes' Georgia said before hanging up the phone.
Charlie began to rise off the bed but Brax pulled her back softly. He pulled her body into his own for a hug. 'Are you ok, now?' Brax whispered into her ear. Charlie nodded and kissed Brax's neck lightly before standing up from the bed.
'We probably should be sleeping, its our wedding day today- its going to be a long day' Brax said as Charlie pulled on a pair of jeans, the blue denim hugged her legs. 'Think of it as an early breakfast' Charlie murmered. Brax stood up as well and began to walk out of the bedroom while holding a T-shirt and trying to pull it over his head.
'Don't you need to get changed' Charlie asked staring at Brax's strangely patterned boxer shorts that he had been sleeping in.
Brax smirked while poking his head back around the doorway. 'Charlie, babe. It's one in the morning; I am going to wear my sexy boxers, there is no one to impress at one in the morning' he winked
Charlie giggled and lowered her jeans 'Ok; so, should I wear my pajamas as well?' she laughed
Brax nodded threw Charlie her nightie; she slipped it over her head and pulled on a pair of boxers underneath. 'Ready to go?' she asked swinging her hips and showing off her checkered boxers. Brax laughed and looped his hand around Charlie's waist. The two of them snuck out of the house, the sky was still pitch black and the air was cool against their skin. Charlie stared up at the sky for a moment before clinging onto Brax's hand and pulling him down the path towards the beach. It was the day of their wedding and Charlie wouldn't have imagined that she would be awake at one o'clock in the morning going out for pizza wearing boxers. Then again, her life was full of surprises.
The waves dark waves crashed onto the shore, the white foam spilt over Charlie and Brax's feet as they wandered along the beach.
'I can see Georgie' Charlie said, she pointed to a dark figure standing on the beach. Brax nodded and began to walk up the sand dunes;
Georgia was sitting on the sand wearing a baggy loose T-shirt that hung on her skinny body. When she heard Brax and Charlie walking towards her, her face peered upwards and she plastered a cheeky grin on her face.
'Hey' she winked
Brax sat next to her on the sand and pulled Charlie down lightly next to him.
'Hey Georgie' Brax smiled
Charlie nodded in Georgia's direction.
The three of them looked out at the beach for a moment. The only sound was of the wind whipping through the air and the waves crashing on the shore
'Heath is staying with Ambz, its why he couldn't come' Georgia spoke up breaking the silence.
'Probably a good thing; he always eats the most food- more pizza for us' Brax smirked.
Georgia laughed before standing up and pulling both Brax and Charlie to their feet. 'Lets go get free pizza from Angelos' she insisted
Brax nodded and pulled Charlie into a quick loose hug before walking hand-in-hand with her across the beach next to Georgia.
.
'Ham' Charlie insisted placing a few piece of cut-up ham on the pizza base.
Georgia hoisted her body up onto the counter next to the pizza. 'Some prawns' Georgia added reaching into the bowl and flicking a few prawns onto the pizza.
Brax smirked at her choice. 'Eww, Georgie. You don't eat prawns with ham- it has to be one or the other' Brax stated as-matter-of-fact.
Georgia scoffed 'Hello Mr. Boring-Pizza-maker' she said sarcastically
'I agree with G, sorry babe. Prawns and ham are delicious' Charlie licked her lips lightly.
'Fine, fine just put extra cheese on it and I'll be fine' Brax muttered, he got a tray out of one of the cupboards in the kitchen of Angelos and swung it over to the counter, Georgia raised the pizza onto the tray and Charlie quickly sprinkled on a few extra ingredients before putting the tray in the oven. The three of them sat in the empty restaurant as it cooked in the oven.
Brax left to go wash up the utensils in the kitchen, the two girls heard clanging and banging as he struggled to contain the bubbly water in the sink.
'Brax told me you had a bad dream about your wedding' Georgia said
'Mmm' Charlie replied, she looked at the ground and fiddled with her fingers
'What was it about?' Georgia added slowly, her voice drew out the words lightly
'It was scary, I can't remember it all- you got shot and died, its all I can really remember' Charlie muttered
Georgia widened her eyes 'Hmm. I do seem to get all the dramatic roles in peoples dreams' she glanced at Charlie and winked
Charlie smiled lightly.
A few moments later Brax came out of the kitchen juggling a bottle of water and the tray of pizza in his hands.
'It smells delicious' Charlie grinned clapping her hands as Brax placed it on the table
Georgia immediately snagged a piece of the hot pizza in her hand. 'Ouchy, ouch' she squealed while poking the pizza in her mouth and shaking her burnt hands.
The three of them ate their pizza and talked for a while, after a while Brax noticed the time and insisted that they leave.
'I can't believe we just did that' Charlie laughed as Brax led her back across the beach towards their house
'I know' Brax murmered 'Now cummon, we have at least 4 hours of sleep left that we can get if we hurry up home' Brax said
Charlie pouted and closed her eyes, she leant her body lightly onto Brax's chest. 'My legs hurt' she murmered 'to much walking' Charlie nuzzled her head into Brax's neck.
He laughed and quickly put his arms around her. Brax scooped Charlie up into his arms and she quickly obliged by looping her arms around his neck and snuggling into his body. 'I'll carry you home' Brax smiled
Charlie merely nodded and closed her eyes once again, leaning into Brax's warm body.
Brax carried Charlie home; she fell asleep in his arms as they walked. Charlie's breaths tickled Brax's neck. They arrived home and Brax tried to unhook Charlie's arms from around his neck. 'No' she murmered refusing to let go, Brax sighed and sat on the couch with Charlie still molded into his body. It was actually quite comfortable, the placement of the pillows on the couch allowed Brax to lie his head back. The two of them went back to sleep, their bodies still linked and Charlie's arms still hugging Brax's neck.
.
The next morning Georgia sat behind her desk at work. She rubbed her eyes to remove sleep- 1am pizza, bad idea.
A sudden knock at her office door awoke her from her trance
'Huh, uh um. Come in' Georgia muttered awakening from her sleepy trance.
'Detective C, you look shit' Callum laughed walking into her office and observing her tired look.
Callum worked in the governments Criminal law and authorization department, he only ever visited if it was an emergency.
'Thanks Callum, what do you want?' Georgia snapped sarcastically.
He found the seat opposite Georgia's desk and sat down quickly.
'You are a great detective- you do great work but..' Callum began
Georgia stuck her head up 'What, what is this about?' she interrupted
'I am merely investigating a few suspicious decisions made by you in the past week or so'
Georgia rolled her eyes 'My gun- I told you on the phone that I have already officially reported it missing'
Callum looked at her sternly 'Georgia, this is about your immediate bail request on the Pirovic brothers'
Georgia merely let out a laugh 'That is a stupid decision- one that I didn't make' She insisted
'Georgia calm down. I am just wondering why such a risky decision was organized without any assistance'
Georgia stood up in a rush 'F***ing hell Callum. I didn't request any bail- I haven't touched the Pirovic files in months. Someone must have- maybe hacked into my email and sent the request under my name' Georgia cried
'So we have two high-level criminal just freely walking the streets' Callum spat in an icy tone.
'It wasn't my god damn fault'
Callum rubbed his head and groaned 'this is so f***ing corrupted Georgia'
'It probably has something to do with my gun missing' She thought to herself
'Whatever, maybe. Right now, our focus needs to be on finding both Harman and Jake Pirovic and finding out who their accomplice was'
Georgia leant back in her seat 'you do believe me, right? That I'm not involved..' she added a bit more quietly
Callum raised from his chair 'Yeah, I believe you but someone between these walls is doing a brilliant job of setting you up'
'I need you to organize Road blocks' Callum added before exiting her office
'I'm sorry Call- I can't. I have a wedding to get to' Georgia apologized she felt guilty that there was nothing more she could do to help.
Callum rolled his eyes 'Yeah all right but don't even mention to anyone that the Pirovic brothers are out- since they have an accomplice who is working undercover as a cop… it could be anyone'
Georgia nodded and watched her office door slam shut behind Callum.
.
Meanwhile Charlie was sitting on the couch in her house. Bianca and Ruby were both sitting opposite her in single seats. Ruby kept staring at Charlie and Bianca continued to subconsciously check the time on her watch.
'Charlie, babe. We need you start to get ready' Bianca said softly
Charlie crossed her legs on the couch and pulled on the sleeves of her baggy grey jumper that she was currently donning. 'I just want to wait… a few more minutes- Georgia will come'
Ruby connected eyes with Bianca 'Mum, I think that Georgia would want you to get ready- she will be back before photos'
Charlie sighed and nodded, she reached for a glass of champagne and changed her attitude. It was wedding day, her goddamn wedding day. Georgia would be back but for now Charlie gets to enjoy her special day.
Charlie rose from the couch and quickly downed her champagne, the sweet bubbles poured down her throat and she grinned at the two girls. Bianca sat behind Charlie and began to fix her hair. Charlie felt her long hair flow around her shoulders, her cheeks flushed as the excitement and exhilaration kicked in.
Weddings were a big deal in Charlie's family, it was one of the only times that they got to see all their friends and family. It was different this time though- Charlie had begun to see all her friends as her family- both her parents were dead so she clung onto her friends with all her might. This wedding wasn't about meeting up and reminiscing with old family members- it was about creating new ones, Charlie realized that she would soon be related by marriage to many of the people closest to her. This wedding was not just binding her life to Brax but binding her to an entire new journey with new people, friends and family.
'You look beautiful' Ruby breathed taking Charlie out of her trance; She thrusted a mirror into Charlie's view and smiled. Brown hair perfectly combed into soft and loose curls that framed Charlie's face, her fringe was carefully pinned away with a diamond clip that Bianca had given her as an engagement gift.
'Ok, make-up and hair is done' Bianca smiled from behind Charlie, she kissed the air next to Charlie's cheek and stood next to Ruby.
'Can you please call Georgia again, I just want to know where she is' Charlie sighed.
Bianca smiled stiffly 'I'll try calling Georgia again if you agree to let Ruby help put your dress on'
'Fine' Charlie giggled
Ruby immediately went to go collect the elegant wedding dress from the cupboard; she rushed back into the living room with the silky material folded through her arms. 'I come bearing a beautiful wedding dress' Ruby sung presenting the gown to Charlie with her arms spread out, bestowing the off-white dress like it was an offering. Charlie softly grazed the material with her hands
'You ready, to you know- put it on?' Ruby asked
Charlie nodded and pulled her jumper off her head. Her enter body felt exhilarated as the expensive material hugged her curves and it felt complete once Ruby tied the satin bow around her waist.
Bianca poked her head back around the corner 'You look stunning'
'Any word from G?'
'Uhhm, no well not yet' Bianca replied
.
Georgia didn't go straight to Charlie's house. She couldn't, their were two crazy criminals on the loose, someone sabotaging her career and someone undercover helping the crazy criminals. She couldn't' put on a fancy dress and ignore the truth, she had to find the brothers and bring them back to jail. Georgia felt pained inside; she knew that she should call Charlie or Brax and explain why she was running so damn late but what would she say? Callum had already insisted that they keep the entire situation a secret so what could she honestly say as an excuse to not being their to help one of her closest friends get ready for her wedding, nothing. Nothing was the best choice.
Georgia parked her car opposite a bus top; she stepped out of the car and quickly flicked her sunglasses over her eyes. Georgia scanned the area with her eyes looking for the Pirovic house. Both the brothers had made a purchase together around 6 years ago. They bought a property near the bush, an abandoned house. It was the only place that Georgia could think of where they would be hiding out.
Suddenly she saw an old bricked house hidden beneath twisted branches and tall messy hedges. It was the house. Georgia grabbed her replacement gun (it was not as impressive or as sexy as her old one but hey, it was just a replacement) She clutched the base of it and slowly walked towards the house. Georgia stepped upto front verandah of the house. The wooden planks creaked underneath her steps. Georgia stood in front of the front door- had she thought this through enough? Could she handle both of the brothers? Uh, you never know if you don't try…I guess.
Georgia kicked down the door with a swift and heavy kick of her foot.
There was a dark hallway in front of her; she slowly stepped inside holding the gun in front of her body protectively. There was no sign of either of the brothers.
Suddenly Georgia heard the front door slam shut behind her.
'Thanks for approving our bail Detective' A voice whispered from behind her. Before Georgia could turn around she had been shot through the shoulder. The pain was excruciating and Georgia immediately dropped to the floor, she clamped her shaking hand over the bullet wound and stared at Jake Pirovic who was currently standing over her. 'Oy Hammer we have a visitor' He called out
Georgia attempted to grab hold of her gun that had spun out of her hand in shock when she was shot. Jake put his foot on her gun is kicked it far don the other end of the hallway. Hammer walked out of a room and observed Georgia's bleeding body. 'You shot her?' Hammer cried 'We were only meant to get Buckton!'
Jake rolled his eyes 'We can still get Buckton but this bitch would have shot us if we didn't get her first'
'You have horrible aim' Georgia smirked through her pain.
Jake drew his eyes back to her 'I was not trying to kill you Miss Callahan, at least not yet' he whispered icily.
Hammer looked at Georgia nervously, he wiped his sweating palms down his legs.
Jake moved towards Georgia's bleeding body and tied her legs to a chair.
'Let me go' Georgia cried, her arms still clutching the bullet wound on her shoulder. Jake smiled at her sadistically 'I am going to kill your friend now, and there is nothing you can do about it' with that comment he walked out the front door, gun in hand. Georgia felt tears fall down her cheeks.
.
Charlie smiled into the camera, her eyes widened as the camera's flash snapped in her eyesight. Both Bianca and Ruby stood next to her; their arms carefully poised fro the photos.
'She could be dead…in a ditch' Charlie whispered to Bianca, her mouth was still frozen in a smile fro the camera.
'She will be fine- I'm sure she has just lost track of time' Bianca replied
'I can't believe she isn't here yet' Ruby added.
Charlie fidgeted uncomfortably in her dress. It was 10 minutes left until they had to leave, Photos were almost done and Georgia hadn't arrived. No one had heard from her.
The photographer lowered the camera 'Ladies, for a perfect photo=- I need smiles and no talking' he forced a smile on his face.
Charlie shook her head- Georgia was filling her head, but it was her wedding day and she couldn't afford to worry about anyone but herself today.
The photos ended and Bianca pulled a bottle of champagne from her bag, she passed out small glasses to each of the women and poured a final glass of the bubbly fluid into the glasses. They clinked their glasses joyfully and downed the champagne in one gulp before pulling each other in a deep hug.
'I love you mum' Ruby breathed
'Me to sweetie' Charlie replied kissing the top of Ruby's head.
Bianca pulled away from the hug as she got a text, her phone vibrated in her bag. Bianca checked the message and let out a squeal 'Ooh, I got a message from the driver saying that the Limo is here!'
Charlie grinned and shook her hips excitedly. The three girls walked towards the shiny, elegant white car and sat on the cushioned leather seats.
.
Brax stood at the alter proudly; he couldn't strip his eyes away from the aisle in front of him.
'You excited?' Heath asked
'Yeah, you got the ring?' Brax replied twisting his head to face Heath.
'Yeah, Its in my jacket pocket' Heath patted the jacket pocket and shook it lightly so that Brax could hear the small jewelry box shake in the satin pocket.
'Good, I thought you'd forget' Brax chuckled
'Wow, you have so much faith in me' Heath smiled sarcastically.
Brax rolled his eyes; 'Charlie will be here soon'
Suddenly Heath looked over Brax's shoulder and he smiled lightly 'Speak of the devil' He nodded at the white limousine that had just pulled up.
Brax straightened up 'How do I look?' He asked Heath quickly
'Dashing' Heath mocked before standing tall and waiting for the sounds of the wedding music to begin.
.
Charlie got out of the limo
'This is it, I'm getting married' She breathed, Ruby leant over and brushed her hand over Charlie's dress.
'Georgia…' Charlie began
'Is not your problem right now, you get to focus on yourself and your new life' Ruby interrupted
Charlie took a deep breath 'Yeah, you are right but I just, remember my dream. I dreamt about her dying'
'Charlie, I dreamt that I married Jude law last night- and as fabulous as that would be, dreams aren't real. They are your imagination' Bianca added
Charlie looked away; Georgia still hadn't turned up to her wedding. Something must be wrong, why else would she ditch their wedding?'
Charlie tried to ignore her worries and she focused on the big picture of today, a marriage- her marriage. She stepped onto the entrance of the aisle and immediately found Brax at the end of it, he was smiling at her and just seeing him there reminded Charlie that it would be ok, everything was going to be ok.
Bianca and Ruby walked down the aisle first, their pale purple dresses shone in the sunlight. The classical music echoed through the air and its soothing sound felt intoxicating and very romantic. Heath suddenly looked very confused, bridesmaid 1, bridesmaid 2 then Charlie down the aisle. Where was Georgia?
.
Blood continued to leak out of her bullet wound. Georgia cringed as a stab of pain shot through her body. Hammer walked into the room with a scrunched up T-shirt. He awkwardly leant down next to Georgia holding the T-shirt in front of him
'Are you going to-' she took a pained breath 'Use that' she nodded in the direction of the shirt 'To strangle me?'
'No, its for the blood' He muttered in response.
'Well I don't want your filthy shirt' Georgia spat
Hammer sighed but remained seated next to her 'I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to leave. I just wanted to ride out my sentence at jail then get on with my life but Jake managed to drag me into this entire scheme'
'Who are you working with? Who is setting me up?' Georgia asked angrily
Hammer didn't respond for a moment, he moved his hand closer to Georgia and slowly began to put pressure on her wound 'Her name is Loren, she is our sister…she was the one who got us out on bail and she was the one that took your gun'
Georgia shrugged Hammer's hand off her wound 'Please, just let me go'
'I can't, Jake will-'
'Jake is gone- probably about to kill my friends at there wedding'
Hammer shook his head 'I can't let you go, sorry'
'Hammer, I will tell the police that you tried to help me. I can help you…if you help me. You are a good guy; you just got roped into your brother's bad ways. Don't let him bring you down again, be yourself and make your own decisions. Cut loose from the gang and help me.'
He looked up at Georgia 'Don't hurt my brother' He murmured before cutting the rope around Georgia's legs free. She immediately stumbled to her feet and grabbed her gun. 'I have to do this' Georgia used to rope and tied Hammers arms to the same chair. He didn't fight it, merely dropping his head and frowning,
'Thankyou Harman' She whispered before struggling out the door.
Georgia stuffed her gun in her pocket and clutched her wound while racing towards her car.
.
The vows were spoken; they were honest truths about their love. The vows that they each said were like the unspoken honesties and vulnerabilities of their love. They reminded each other of why they were in love and why the relationship was worth fighting for all that time. Charlie felt a slow tear drip down her cheek as Brax finished his vows. 'I love you' she mouthed
'Me to' Brax replied in a whisper
There was a small silence as they both allowed the vows to set in.
Suddenly Heath gasped 'Holy crap', his loud voice ripped through the serene atmosphere.
His sudden outburst forced Charlie and Brax to follow Heath's gaze to where Georgia was standing. Her thin body was almost collapsed; her entire outfit was drenched in her blood.
Charlie immediately froze, what was going on?
Heath raced down from his spot at the alter; he immediately grabbed Georgia in his arms. Her slight body collapsed into his arms 'Stop, the wedding. Everyone needs to leave' she murmered
'What? What are you talking about? Someone dial 000' Heath called out in a panic.
'No, I'm fine' she muttered attempting to stand up. 'Charlie!' She called out 'Charlie, Brax you both need to leave!'
Brax put a hand around Charlie's waist protectively; they were both so confused of what's going on. Charlie nestled herself into Brax's clutch. 'Georgie, what's going on? What happened to you?' Brax asked
'Its not important what happened to me. What's important is what's going to happen to you if you don't leave, now!' Georgia replied in a mix of scared pain and frustration.
Suddenly the wedding guests gasped. 'I guess that my brother decided to let you go Detective C' a sharp voice spoke. Heath immediately covered Georgia with his body and he moved her backwards.
Jake had arrived. He was leaning against a podium smiling evilly; both his hands were playing with a gun.
Brax stood in front of Charlie, his arms bending backwards still clutching onto Charlie's nervous, shaking hands. Jake ran a hand casually through his hair then he poised the gun in his steady hands and pointed it at Brax.
'I had an agenda for today, I came to give Charlie a message' Jake began
The wedding guests shuffled backwards, slowly they escaped the scene.
'I'm scared' Charlie whispered behind Brax's back.
Brax kept his eyes glued to Jake but he squeezed her hands lightly to acknowledge that he understood and was not going to let anything happen to her.
'We need an ambulance for Georgia' Heath interrupted
'I'm fine' Georgia interrupted, her voice quiet and insecure- obviously fading;
Jake laughed 'Ok, lets make a deal. I'll get an ambulance for the detective if you let me talk with Charlie'
Charlie couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was in a situation where the decisions were as risky as the outcome. Unknown, the outcome of either situation was painfully unknown.
'No, you are not talking with her' Brax growled
Jake let no emotion show on his face, he glanced at Georgia who was currently leaning on Heath's lap on the floor.
'Brax, why don't you pick?' Jake asked
'What do you mean?'
'You and Callahan are supposedly best friends and you love Charlie. Pick, which one do you want to survive?'
Brax felt his stomach drop, all the air leaped from inside him. How do you pick between the woman that you are in love with and the girl who has been your best friend for as long as you can remember.
Georgia's eyes flickered open. 'You can pick Charlie, sweetie. Its ok' she whispered. Heath bit his lip harshly to avoid saying anything, concealed cries escaped his lips.
Charlie suddenly spoke up 'Jake, you just want to talk?' She said reassuring his proposition
'Be quiet, don't talk to him' Brax whispered harshly
'Yes Charlie, just a small chat and your friend will be ok'
Charlie nodded; she released her hands from Brax's strong grip. 'I love you' she whispered to him before stepping from behind Brax.
'So…you uh wanted to talk' Charlie began
Jake smiled, his mouth widened into a massive wicked grin. 'I lied' he growled and with that, Jake raised the gun.
Bang.
Charlie dropped to the floor.
