As Charlie walks on the beach listening to Joey's Ipod, a few tears make their way down her cheeks, she is listening to "their song" the one they dance to on the boat. She keeps hearing Ruby's voice going over and over in her mind "Fight for her, Charlie!" How can she fight, when she was the one that destroyed their love. The biggest mistake of her life! It made her sick to her stomach, the very thought of that horrible night with Hugo. Her Hugo mistake! The combination of alcohol, the gay label, the avalanche of events in the day, one more nerve wrecking than the other and not to mention her ego, and voila the Hugo mistake! She decides to head back home, a hot shower and some beer are waiting for her as she tries to diminish the pain that her heart is in. "Fight for her, Charlie!" running wildly in her mind. If only she knew how!

As she arrived home still deeply immersed in her thoughts, Leah was cooking dinner and she tried in vain to cheer her up.

"I'm making some spaghetti alla Bolognese, it's your favorite"

"Thanks, Leah, but I really don't have much of an appetite. I'm just going to take a hot shower and see if I can rest for a bit."

"Ok. But if you change your mind, I'll leave some for you in the fridge."

"Thanks, again."

She heads to the fridge and pulls out a few bottles of beer and heads to her room. After gulping the first two bottles, she gets into the shower where the hot water starts to mix in with her tears. As she is crying she keeps saying to herself "I'm sorry, Joey. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!"

She grabs another beer, she sits down in front of the mirror and she's not liking the person she sees. The Charlie Buckton she knows would have never hurt Joey! The Charlie Buckton she knows wouldn't loose control and make dumb-ass mistakes. The beer is making her head buzz and numbing her pain, she decides to lay down on the bed to rest for a bit. When her head touches the pillow she keeps hearing Ruby's voice, "Fight for her, Charlie!" , "Fight for her, Charlie!"

The morning rays of sun slowly wake her up. Her head is pounding, all that beer from last night is having it's nasty side effects, but she'll gladly take the side effects over the pain of her breaking heart. Suddenly she hears a knock on her down.

"Charlie are you up?"

"Yeah, Rubes I'm up!"

"Charlie. Can I come in?"

"Yeah."

"Did you hear that Joey is leaving today?"

"Leaving for where?"

"I'm not sure, but she's not coming back. She said her boat departs at 9:00 am and that she's leaving Summer Bay for good."

"That's in 30 minutes from now! Oh, Rubes I can't let her go, without her knowing...."

"Knowing what?"

"Just how much I love her!"

She's hurrying up getting dressed, runs to the bathroom, splashes cold water on her face. It doesn't do her any good, she looks like she got smacked around by a few bottles of beer last night.

"Good luck Charlie! Bring her back!"

"Thanks, Rubes!"

Grabs her car keys and heads out to the wharf. As she's driving, she keeps thinking of the right words to say. How can she show Joey, how truly sorry she was? What can she say to make it all better again? Pounding the steering wheel she screams, "I will fight for you Joey Collins, I will fight for you!"
