Bradin was in a deep sleep stretched out on the couch when Dean walked in a pushed him onto the floor
"Bradin wake up you fucking chicken shit" Bradin realizing he was on the floor stood up shaking and then fell back down hitting his head on the coffee table knocking himself out
"Shit Bradin wake up" Dean was now concerned about Bradin and yelling for help and then he noticed that their whole bottle of sleeping pills was empty
"Bradin what have you done" everyone was now in the lounge and Nikki was on the phone to their local doctor,
While all this was happening Michelle was glaring at Callie who seemed to pick up on it and slipped her hand into Lucas's and smiled a very cheeky and bitchy smile.
Michelle left the room in a sort of huff, she walked down to the lake and dipped her legs into the icy cold water she sat alone and pondered her thoughts about how she really felt about Bradin
"Michelle are you ok?"
"Umm I don't know"
"Well my idiotic brother is awake now and the doctors are in with him giving him a pretty stern lecture"
"Yeah he sure deserves it"
"Yeah, well if you need to talk I'm here"
"Ok Nikki I'll remember that" Nikki gave Michelle a hug from behind and wandered back up towards the house.
The next morning the sun was streaming through the window and Bradin was blinded as soon as he opened his eyes he groaned and almost rolled out of bed, he removed his boxers and hopped into the shower. He stayed in there for so long trying to wash away all the bad things he had down in the first 3 days of arrival, he couldn't believe what he had down and how he had hurt Michelle and still he had over 11 weeks of all this bullshit Callie was trying to pull.
Bradin eventually got out of the shower, he dried his hair and wrapped the towel around his waist before exciting the bathroom, and he shoved on some clothes and then couldn't be bothered to make the journey downstairs fell asleep once again out half on and half off his bed in sheer exhaustion.
The door to his room opened quietly and Michelle sat on the bed opposite Bradin, Bradin rolled over and saw Michelle sitting there
"Hey Michelle I'm…"
"Bradin shut up and listen" Bradin squinted to see if she had a serious expression but follower her instructions
"You hurt me so much" Michelle started to cry "But I still really like you, and last night you scared me so much"
"Don't cry Michelle I'm not worth it"
"Yes you are and I came to that conclusion when you first said hello to me" Bradin slowly stood up shaking and almost fell to the ground but Michelle leaped up from where she was sitting and helped him to his feet, Bradin pulled her into a hug and tried to keep well balanced
"Come on let's go downstairs and get some food into you"
"Ok but it's going to take a while"
"Bradin..."
"Yeah"
"Don't every OD on pills because you fell bad ok, solve the problem with the person"
"Ok I'm sorry seriously I am but ah did anybody ring my Aunt?"
"Not yet Nikki was going to do it tonight"
"She can't know"
"Ok then she won't" Eventually the reached the bottom of the stairs and Bradin was sitting on the couch being hand feed by Michelle, he liked the way she smiled and the way her hair smelt but most of all he loved the way she cared so much but tried so hard to hide it.
Callie walked in hand in hand with Lucas and smiled
"Hey Bradin are you ok" Lucas asked concerned
"Yeah I think so I'm still really tired though"
"Well get better because there is a surf comp about half and hour away from here in 4 weeks and I want to go"
"Dude don't even talk to me about surfing now I'd probably drown"
"Ok but we are discussing it later"
"Yeah ok" Callie kissed Lucas passionately and walked off and Lucas gave a confused expression but soon enough shrugged it off and walked after her.
"I hate her"
"Michelle you have every right too and I think I hate her to"
"But you screwed her"
"She's fucked with my mind it's hard to explain"
"I understand I'm not blaming you I just hate the way she tries to rub it in"
"So do I"
"Was she always like that"
"No she was so sweet then her and Lucas went to a party one night near the cove and they haven't been the same, I mean Lucas is still my Lucas but he always wants shag girls at parties instead of just hang out with his mates like me and Reece and all the others"
"Yeah it sure is a shame" Bradin looked into Michelle's eyes and couldn't resist he cupped her cheek and started to kiss her softly getting more intense by the second,
"Oh la la I think Bradin has picked his target" Amber said teasingly as she sat on Reece's back (piggy back)
"I think she's got you whipped" Bradin said to Reece and chucked a cushion at amber
"Yeah I think so to but I don't mind"
"Obviously, come on Michelle lets go down to the jetty"
"Ok but I'm grabbing a towel because last time I fell in" Michelle glared at Amber and the bother giggled before she ran upstairs to get a towel.
Bradin stood outside on the mini jetty where Amber and Reece stood hand in hand
"Dude I think Michelle stood you up" Reece said cheekily
"Bradin I would never do such a thing" Michelle walked up to Bradin with a semi grin and laced her arms around his neck allowing him to feel the warmth of her body up against his
"Well I'm getting in" Amber exclaimed before cannon balling straight into the water, emerging a few seconds later with wet hair all strung around her shoulders causing Reece to force himself into the semi cold water. Within in minutes Amber, Bradin, Reece and Michelle were in the water splashing around like crazy that the rest of the house were in the water with them.
Callie was in the kitchen with Lucas trying to cook the dinner but seemed to be to preoccupied with one another,
"Hey I want food tonight not tomorrow" Michelle exclaimed before nuzzling herself into Bradin's lap and smiling
"Well bitch if you're hungry get up and make it yourself"
"Callie hey calm down" Reece said concerned with sudden change of tone in her voice
"Calm down ok that stupid bitch took the guy I love"
"You love Bradin" Reece shouted at Callie, now everyone was in the room watching the awkward moment turn into a disaster
"Yes Reece I used you big deal, I thought he would want me if I was off the market but now he went for her"
"Well maybe you should take a look in the mirror you're the bitch not Michelle" Reece continued to yell at Callie before chucking his tea towel onto the ground and storming out of the fully crowed room.
Callie stood there looking like an idiot
"What are you all staring at, Bradin I love you, we screwed, Michelle found out and still you don't want me, so what?" Callie shouted at everyone before running up the stairs and slamming her bedroom door.
"Well that was weird" Dean said as he sat down next to Nikki
"Well you weren't even involved" Bradin joked
"Yeah well it's going to be fun for the next eleven weeks" Nikki said
"Well here is to the next eleven weeks" Michelle chanted and everyone shouted 'here here'
