Charlie's P.O.V

It was only now that I realized I would probably run into him at some point during my time in Summer Bay. Waves of different emotions washed over me. I still remembered the last conversation we had together.

"Brax please, just listen to me!" I had to plead over his protests.

"Charlie, we'll leave it! I can't do this right now, just give it a few days-" I cut him off.

"There is so few da-" Now he cut me off. This was the most heated discussion we'd ever had. Brax just shook his head and walked into his office.

"A few days Charlie." He snarled over his shoulder.

"Fine." I groaned. Have it your way, I thought.

Brax's P.O.V

"Well are you coming in?" Casey asked, standing awkwardly outside the passenger door. He leant his head into the car and stared at me, his facing having an expression that said Well, are you?

"Yeah." I said, blinking.

We walked towards the hospital, well Casey practically sprinted to be at Ruby's side. All we knew was that she'd been brought in by April and that something was going wrong with her diabetes.

When I finally reached the customer service desk, I didn't have to think twice about what I saw. Her back was facing me and her figure looked skinnier than ever. Her hair was now nearly touching her waist. Her ankle boots made her look a little taller, but still not as tall as me. I could smell her scent from where I was standing. She was embracing a hug with Casey when he looked up at me. He opened his mouth but I quickly shook my head and walked straight back to my ute.
