Takes place after Charlie gets shot by Jake

Ruby's P.O.V

Casey, Brax, and I are on our way back to Leah's to see if Charlie is ready.

''I wonder how Summer Bay is going to be like when we leave?'' I thought while walking to the house.

''Why is this door unlocked and opened?'' I was confused, but then time froze!

'' Oh My Gosh CHARLIE!''

I felt like I was going to collapse at the sight in front of me, lost in my thoughts until Brax told me to move aside as he rushed to Charlie.

Brax's P.O.V

I rushed to the woman I loved and cared for! As soon as I reached her I checked for a pulse and any breathing signs, making sure I don't move her.

"She's not breathing", I yelled over a sobbing Ruby, "Case call an ambulance!" I said while giving Charlie CPR.

Casey P.O.V

I did as I was told to do. After a couple of minutes the ambulance arrived and took Charlie to the hospital.

"I'll drive us to the hospital," Brax said while getting his keys.

All these thoughts were going through my head. First, what if Charlie doesn't make it.? Second, I wondered how Ruby is feeling about her mum being shot Twice! Third, how will Ruby cope and I comfort her while her mum is in the hospital? Lastly, Brax? How is he going to cope? I have to be strong for the both of them and myself.

I called Leah informing what had happened because it was her house first of all and knows how to comfort Ruby more than I do.

Leah's P.O.V

I just got a phone call from Casey telling me Charlie was in the hospital because she got shot twice in the abdomen and that it took place at my house! He also told me that he doesn't know how to comfort Ruby . I rushed in the hospital and found Ruby crying in a corner on the floor, head between her knees, Casey trying to do his best to comfort her, and be strong at the same time. Finally, I see Brax, his head in his hands.

"Where is she?" I asked Casey. "The doctors brought her to theater," Casey replied.

Next Chapter: Sid comes and tells them Charlie's state and condition. How will Ruby absorb the information? Will Brax find out who did this? Most of all- Will Charlie survive?
