BRAX P.O.V
I sat there in silence as the life support suddenly went from a steady healthy beat to a blood scratch one long beep before going silent. I grabbed Charlie's hand tighter to only have her still not responding. I got up waddled my way out of the hospital. On the way to bump into Sam who was cuffed and getting shoved into a coppers car for no apparent reason, not caring what was going on. I kept walking towards Angelo's where I grabbed a few bottles of grog and heading home.
Seven Years Later
BRAX P.O.V (Continued)
I ran out of the surf with Ruby catching one last wave so she could try and prove me wrong. "See no matter what size wave, I will be able to ride it!" Ruby Screamed as she ran out of the water. I spun around to see her coming towards me. "Whatever Rubes, what have you organised seen as it has been seven years since Charlie died" I asked in curiosity.
RUBY P.O.V
"You'll have to wait and see" I replied dully remembering everything I have done in the previous years.
FIRST YEAR AFTER SHE DIED: Stayed at her grave for 1 hour
SECOND YEAR: Planted 2 trees
THRID YEAR: Well I didn't need to plan this year because the police did for me. 3 members of Jake's gang got prisoned on the day Charlie died.
FORTH YEAR: Brax and I completed 4 of Charlie's life goals
FIFTH YEAR: 5 people made speeches about how much life sucks with Charlie
SIXTH YEAR: 6 balloons were set free
THIS YEAR: Letting 7 birds fly free.
I spun my board under my arm and headed home. I walked up stairs had a quick shower, dressing into my black skinny jeans and black blouse.
The drive to Charlie's grave was a painfully silence, the full trip no one spoke a word. The twist and turns had me looking over at Brax occasionally but other than that no one spoke, looked around nor, moved. When we finally got there I could see my cage I ordered.
BRAX P.O.V
My eyes had started to water up; I could barely see one metre head of me. I hated today, I hated the day Jake shot Charlie never the less I hate every day with Charlie. She was the motor to me, the reason I changed for the better. I followed Ruby over to where Charlie lays 6 feet under. Wondering what 'extreme' event Rubes had planned for today. "Brax," I heard Ruby sob, "Come over here where we can say good bye for the seventh year" She continued; before I could take a step Ruby's hand flew down releasing 7 white doves.
RUBY P.O.V
I had spent days dreaming on how this was to be played out I always wanted it to be like in the movies how everyone is like WOW! I spent another 20 minutes next to my mother's grave, twisting my hair around my finger thinking about what she would have said about everything I've done this year. Finally I got up and sat in the car allowing Brax to have some time alone with mum.
Three hours later
Back at home I decided that I would cook a fancy dinner because Brax was working late. After he dropped me off home after we were at mum's grave all he said was 'working 'til closing'. So I had decided that for dinner we were going to have beef sliders and for desert it was chocolate torte. At that moment Casey smashed the door behind him as he made his way through the back door through to the kitchen of where I was at that exact moment.
CASEY P.O.V
I barged my way through the back door forgetting that today Ruby was going to spend every minute of every day. Today was the day Ruby turned Charlie life support off seven years ago. "Hi" She muttered, "Hey, need help?" I asked as she carried the dishes over to the table; "Not from you" She snapped as I went and sat at the table for dinner, "Look I'm sorry for…" I was interrupted by the knocking at the door. As I opened the door a cherished young man, looked about five but had a muscular like body.
"Is this the Braxton house" He asked,
"Ummmm…. Yer how can I help"
"Is Mr Darryl Braxton Here?"
"No sorry, may I help you with something"
"Yer, do you know where I can find him, I need to talk to him as he is now my legal guardian"
"Sorry, what did you say?"
"I obviously didn't make that clear enough to you, he is my father" He snapped. I look over to Ruby who was just as...Well surprised as I was.
