"Joey." she yelled as she frantically ran towards the younger girl unaware of people staring at her.
"Joey." she yelled again. This time, however, she got the attention of the shorter brunette who was now facing towards her, what can only be described as a mad, yet absolutely breath-taking gorgeous woman flapping her arms like a bird and running like Kermit the Frog, or what people otherwise refered to as Senior Constable Charlie Buckton.
Charlie slowly began to reduce her speed as she neared the girl she was so helplessly in love with.
Joey couldn't help but stare at the long tanned slender legs which had become one of her favourite parts of Charlie's anatomy. They just went on forever.
"I umm...you forgot this." Charlie said, as she passed Joey her treasured silver I-Pod.
That was so not what i wanted to say. Charlie thought, as she mentally slapped her forehead. Hard.
"Thanks." Joey replied.
it my fault for actually believing Charlie was coming here to stop me? I'm even more stupid for thinking it.
"I better go." Joey finished. As tears began to sting the backs of the brunettes beautiful brown eyes.
Quick! Charlie thought as she began to see Joey turn to leave.
Follow your heart dumbass. She heard Ruby's voice echo in her head.
With that she grabbed Joeys wrist and pulled her towards herself.
It's now or never.
She grabbed Joeys face as she passionately began to kiss her.
In the open.
With witness'.
With many residents of Summer Bay gawping.
She slowly pulled herself away allowing herself and Joey much needed air.
"Don't go. Stay with me. I love you. I'm not scared anymore. I just want to be with you." Charlie quietly said as ocean blue stared into chocolate brown.
"Please." she begged as she placed each hand over Joeys cheeks.
"I um... I don't know." Joey stammered.
"Say you'll stay with me." Charlie begged. #
"I can't. I have to go." she said as she took another deep breath in.
"Maybe this time away will do us some good. I need time. I'm sorry." Joey said as she removed Charlies hands from her sodden cheeks.
"I love you Charlie." and with that and a small kiss to Charlies cheek Joey walked towards the awaiting trawler.
As the trawler pulled away Joey forced herself not to look back. Not to look at Charlie. If she did it would have broken her heart. Again. She tried to focus on the waves, but all she could see was Charlie. Charlies eyes. Charlies smile. Charlie.
Charlie crumpled to the floor defeated, as she saw the trawler go further and further into the horizon.
It had been a couple of hours, probably more, since Joey left and Charlie's eyes were now dry as no more tears would fall.
She rocked back and forth slowly as she stared out far into the distance at where the trawler once was. Wishing for her to come back.
Suddenly she felt soft hands on her shaking shoulders.
"C'mon Charlie. Let me take you home." A male voice said helping her up.
"She left. She left me." She kept repeating as she flung her arms round the mans broad shoulders. #
