So I came home on Saturday afternoon after an all night session with the girls and I wont lie I was still pretty smashed anyway my friend came with me and we were watching this film I think its was called the businessman about a guy who gets shown another life if he was to change the path he was on and I guess I had a wave of inspiration because I sat and wrote this and I have been debating whether to post it or not because its a strange one but I thought why me know if you would like me to continue with it and depending on the feedback I'll either carry on or delete it.
it follows the same story line as the show with charlie sleeping with Hugo and joey leaving then charlie and Angelo getting together then the whole ruby being her daughter thing. charlie and Angelo are engaged now and a week before the wedding charlie meets a stranger who turns her life around,literally.
Charlie had taken her break from work and was now sat on the beach contemplating her life, were it had been and were it was going in a week she was getting married to Angelo and if someone would her have told her a year and a half ago she would be marrying him she would have laughed in their face. Her thoughts went back to joey wonder where she was and if she was ok and she wondered if joey would have come back after 3 months like she said, would she have got together with Angelo,she loves him and they have always had a connection but she still occasionally asked herself that question and with the wedding getting closer day by day she found herself thinking about it more. She was brought out of her thoughts when see felt someone's presence behind her she turned her head to see a young women who if she had to guess she would say was around 20 years old looking at her,she had shoulder length straight brown hair,blue eyes & slim build and she looked incredibly familiar but charlie couldn't remember were she had met her before.
"can I help you?"charlie asked thinking the women may have come to her because of her uniform
the girl continued to look at charlie "I think the question is can I help you?"
"sorry?"
"well you're the one sat here looking lost" she said as she sat down at the side of charlie
charlie looked towards the sea "I don't know what you mean"she turned to look at the girl when she heard her laugh
"yeah right"she said looking out to sea
"you don't even know me"charlie snapped
"hit a nerve did I?"she asked with a smug look on her face
charlie studied her face "have we met before?"
the girl turned to look at charlie "why do you ask?"
"because you seem very familiar"
the girl looked back to the sea with a small smile on her face "you don't know me but I know you"
"what does that mean?"charlie asked
she took a deep breathe "it means I know your names charlie buckton and you have a sister named ruby,in a week your getting married to Angelo and right now your sat here thinking about joey your ex who you cheated on so she left the bay about a year and a half ago but there are times when you can't get her out of your head and you can't help but wondering what your life would be like if she had come back when she said she was guna"
she laughed at the shocked look on charlies face
"like I said,I know you..........so if she had of come back would you still be marrying Angelo?"
"yes..........maybe..........I don't know"she admitted honestly which was a little surprising causing her to rub her head in frustration
"wait ….who are you,do you know joey is that how you know all this?" she asked
"yeah I know joey"she said softly
"how is she,were is she?"she asked
charlie grew angry when the girl didn't answer her
"who the hell are you?"she snapped but still the girl didn't answered
feeling frustrated charlie stood up and began to walk away
"I'm the person who is guna give you what you need"the girl called out causing charlie to stop but not turn around
"and whats that?"charlie asked annoyed at how cryptic this girl was being
"what your heart truly desires"
charlie began to chuckle at the idea because how could someone do that for her when she didn't know herself "and how exactly are you guna do that?"
"you'll see"the said with a smirk
charlie turned around to find the girl had disappeared
"what the hell"she said as she looked around wondering how the girl had managed to get out of sight so quickly without her noticing,she was interrupted when her phone rang
"yeah......yeah I'll be right there"
she took one more look around and left with one thought in her head "she knows were joey is"
charlie walked through the door that night and found a note on the table
Hi babe, I'm sorry but I got called out on a job so I wont be home till late so don't wait up
Leah and VJ wont be home and ruby said to tell you she would be at Annie's until later
I love you my soon to be wife xx
She smiled as she walked into the room and sprawled out on the couch it had been a long day and she hadn't stopped thinking about that girl all day "she must know were joey is" although she didn't quite know how she felt about that but she told herself to forget it because she was getting married in a week and anyway she didn't even know how she felt about joey anymore but she would always care for her
charlie was brought out of her thought when she heard a voice
"looks serious"
she looked over at the doorway to see the girl standing there with her arms crossed looking at her
"what are you doing here?"she asked as she jumped off the couch
"I'm here to help you remember"
"I don't need your help"
"oh you need help and your very lucky that I'm guna help you"
"how hell are you guna do that?"she said mirroring the girls folded arms
"well technically its not me thats got the power to do this but I'll be your erm... guide"
charlie began to laugh "great your a nut case"
"erm maybe but I'm still guna help you so are you ready?"
"ready for what?"charlie asked shaking her head in confusion as the girl stepped towards her
"this may hurt a little"
she walked right up to charlie and pushed her really hard then everything went dark
charlie felt tired when she woke up so she didn't open her eyes,she lay there thinking about the dream she had about that girl from the beach being in her house when she got home she decided she really had to find out who she was. she felt movement on the bed
"I must have been out for the count I didn't hear angelo get in"
she smiled and rolled over still with her eyes closed when she opened them she was shocked at who's sleeping face she saw,so shocked she jumped out of bed with a shriek causing her companion to jolt up looking startled
"charlie what is it?,whats wrong?"
charlie stood there in shock "J..joey?"
joey rubbed her eyes "whats the matter babe?"
"what.....but you..I mean we....what are you doing in my bed?"she asked eventually
"are you saying you don't me in your bed anymore"joey asked grinning until she saw the look on charlies face
charlie looked around the room realising this wasn't her room
"charlie whats wrong?"joey asked looking concerned
"where am I?"
"what are you talking about charlie your at home?"joey asked beginning to get worried
"but this...we...I.....this isn't my life"she took a deep breath to try and calm down,she really looked at joey for the first time noticing she looked older "god she's more beautiful than she was when left....she left a year and a half ago so what the hell....I must be dreaming"
"charlie what are you talking about....ok your scaring me now maybe that knock to your head yesterday did you some damage"
she looked at joeys concerned eyes and felt the need to comfort her even though she felt like she was going crazy so she climbed back on the bed and cuddled her letting out sigh when joey cuddled back
"god I've missed you"she thought having forgotten how much she had until she saw her face again
"charlie seriously, are you ok maybe we should go get rachel to check you over?"joey asked as she pulled back
"I'm fine just a bad dream thats all"she lied whilst looking into joeys eyes
she cupped joeys face with her hand and joey smiled at her which made her heart flutter "bang"
"what was that?"charlie asked looking towards the door
joey threw herself back down on the bed and pulled a pillow over her head "its your turn this weekend so don't try and get out of it"
"get out of what?"
"making breakfast"
"breakfast?"
"bang" again
"charlie seriously will you go before she wrecks the house"
"who ruby?"
"no"
"then who?"
joey pulled the pillow away from her face looking at a confused looking charlie "our daughter who else" "whats wrong with her"
"another daughter....this isn't happening I must be dreaming....oh my god"
"is your head hurting after yesterday?"joey asked her voice filled with concern
"what happened yesterday?"charlie asked starring of into space still trying to figure out what was going on
"ok thats it after breakfast were going to see rachel"
charlie began to protest until joey cut her off "no arguments charlie"
"okay"
joey rolled over to go back to sleep while charlie sat in a state of shock as to what was happening,after receiving another groan from joey charlie managed togather her senses and head downstairs
