Chapter 2

Casey's Pov

I woke up early to catch some good waves; I chucked on my boardies and walked out into the kitchen, putting a few pieces of toast into the toaster I sighed heavily as I saw Ricky still hadn't replied to my text message. I tried calling her a few more times still no answer; I sent her one more quick text before grabbing my board and walking out the door.

Ric, I know things are hard at the moment, but I really think you should visit Brax, get answers to some of your questions, he'd be hurting too, I'm always here if you wanted me to come, or just want to talk, you know that right

Bianca's Pov

I awoke to an empty bed, I patted Heath's space but he wasn't there, I slipped on my dressing gown and walked into the lounge room to find a semi naked Heath drinking coffee and watching TV, he looked deep in thought. I wandered over and sat down beside him on the couch, he wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled into his chest.

Heath: Ricky's not coping with him in jail is she B

Bianca: Nah, Babe, she's not, what can we do to help her Heath

Heath: Brax is such a tool, there's not a single excuse for why he did what he did to her

I listened intently to Heath, he was furious at Brax for hurting Ricky, she was like the boys little sister, like family, and the boys put family above anything else, but Brax is family too and right now that wasn't counting for much. Everyone is so angry with Brax for cutting Ricky off, Casey, Heath, Kyle, Phoebe, Denny, heck even Andy was upset with Brax. I'm not excusing what he did and trust me if Heath went to jail for 15 years I'd hate him to but despite everything Brax has put the family through he did deserve a chance to explain or atleast apologise to his girlfriend and brothers.

Bianca: Look Heath, I'm not saying Brax confessing was the right thing to do or that he deserves instant forgiveness, but like it or not, he's a part of this family and I am sure he'd love to see you boys sometime, you know which jail he's in, maybe, just maybe you could take Ric with you

Heath: You're taking that dog's side are ya?

Heath yelled agitated before storming out of the house

Bianca: Oi, where are you going Babe

Heath: Gym, for a workout what's it to you

Bianca: Heath, come on, I'm not taking his side, I've seen how hurt everyone has been since Brax has left, imagine how he's feeling all alone in that small cell, how desperately he wants to see you all,

Heath: Good, that's how the idiot deserves to feel, Ricky was so in love with Brax and he's just happy to throw her away without a second thought, I hope he's hurting just as much as she is, except Ricky's pain isn't her fault, if Brax is in pain it is HIS fault, end of Bianca..

Heath yelled before pushing past me and out the door. I watched sadly as he started to walk away before he abruptly stopped and walked over to me speaking in a spiteful tone..

Heath: and Bianca if you ever did to me what Brax has done to this family, I would find it EXTREMELY hard to forgive you and I'd hate you for a long time

Bianca: Baby, I'd never do that to you

I said empathetically, embracing him in a tight hug, only for Heath to pull away after a few short seconds

Heath: I've got work tonight, don't wait up

I sighed heavily as he stormed out the door, I really wanted to fix this mess, and go back Heath idolising Brax and he being blissfully in love before he made a shock decision that would tear this family apart.

Ricky's POV

Each page I turned bought more tears to my eyes, I sobbed heavily as I went through a photo album of when Brax and I were kids growing up together. My mind drifted back to the time when I turned 8 and Brax taught me how to ride a bike. You are doing so good Ricky, you've got this girl, I'm so proud, keep riding, he'd say to me and seconds later I'd be crying on the floor with a grazed knee or elbow. Brax was always a really good carer and looked out for me, after I fell off he'd always put a bandaid on and kiss me better. Right from the start he and I were best friends, as we got older we starting dating and my feelings for him grew each and every day. On my 21st birthday Brax left and I didn't see him again for almost two years, my heart shattered, I had many one night stands and tried to move on, but no one came close to Brax, he was the love of my life. When I turned 24 Brax returned and our spark was reignited it felt like he never left. Now he was gone again and for god knows how long, I just missed him so much, by the time I'd gotten to the second photo album I was an absolute mess. I sighed heavily as Heath plonked himself down beside me

Ricky: Heath, I am not in the mood, I just want to be left alone

Heath: Tough, Rick, I am here ok and I won't let you go through this on your own

He looked down at my photo album

Heath: Ah, Brax's eighteenth

Ricky: That penis costume really suited him

Heath: I think he was pretty impressed with your costume, you know as long as you were by his side that dopey smile never left his face

Heath said pointing to the photo of me kissing Brax at his 18th costume party

I wiped a few tears that stained my cheeks, and stifled a small grin

Ricky: Only cause he got lucky

Heath: Nah, Ric, it's because he was in love with you, Brax has always loved just you, and although he did one of the dumbest things possible… look Ricky, he loved you then and he still loves you now

Ricky: You've changed your tune, last night you…

Heath: Bianca talked to me,

Ricky: Wise woman you've got there bro, don't ever let her go

Heath: Ricky, come home, you can sit down, put your feet up, and we will take good care of you while Brax is inside

I smiled softly at Heath, thankful for his support; I wrapped my arm tightly around him and rested my head on his shoulder

Ricky: I'm really sorry I bit your head off yesterday

Heath: Given everything you've gone through this past week, I think you are forgiven, come on Rick,

I was happy that Heath and I had sorted things out, he made me realise maybe I should go and speak to Brax, find out where he and I stood.
