Charlie arrived at the hospital, looking frantically for Sid. Sid was sitting behind the desk doing some paper work.
"Hi Sid, Can I see you now?" Charlie asked scared for her health.
"Sure thing Charlie, Just in that room over there," Sid said, pointing to an empty room.
Charlie hurried into the room, feeling nauseated. All these thoughts were running through her head. What if she was terminally ill? What if it wasn't curable? Charlie worked herself up into a sweat.
"Charlie, what seems to be the problem?" Sid asked, interrupting her thoughts.
"Uh-Uh, I umm" Charlie found it hard to get words out of her mouth. "I found blood in my vomit this morning," Charlie finally spat it out.
"Do you know why you were vomiting? Are you sick?" Sid asked, jotting down some notes.
"I was drunk last night, I can't remember how much I had," Charlie couldn't sit still.
"Okay, that could be the reason, if you hold on I will get some tests organised, so we can find out what's happening. We will need you to say here for the next 24 hours, so if there is anyone you want to call to get some spare clothes and other things?" Sid said, while writing down the tests Charlie needed to complete.
"Um, yea I will organise somebody to bring some clothes, thanks Sid," Charlie said with a wobbly smile on her face.
Charlie was trying to think who she could call. She ultimately wanted to ring Brax, but since they were no longer a couple she couldn't. It was either Leah or Ruby. Charlie didn't want a lecture about how she shouldn't of drank so much, so she chose to ring Ruby because Ruby was un- aware of the previous night's activities. Charlie tried to ring Ruby but Ruby's phone was going straight to voicemail. She tried a billion times but still no answer. Charlie finally gave up and knew Ruby was ignoring her. Charlie would just have to put up with the lecture from Leah. She called Leah a couple of times and she wasn't answering either. Charlie's day had gotten worse; no one was there for her. She just sat there hoping Leah or Ruby would ring back.
A couple of hours past and still no answer from either of them, Charlie had gone in for three tests so far. Sid walked in and asked if anyone was coming to visit or anything. Charlie said she couldn't get onto either of them so she was going to wait for a response.
It was 8pm and still no call from Leah or Ruby. She didn't want to do plan B, but she was bored, she wanted her laptop or a book and some fresh clothes.
Brax was at Angelo's behind the bar getting drink orders ready, he noticed his phone had one missed call, he went to the back and called Charlie.
"Hello" Charlie answered the phone. Brax could tell something was wrong.
"Charlie, what is it?" Brax asked
"I-umm-I"
"Spit it out Charlie,"
"I'm at the hospital Brax, I don't know what is wrong and I need some things,"
"I'm on my way now" Brax said, rushing out of Angelo's and leaving one of his waiters to close. He was worried sick about Charlie, he sped to the hospital. He wondered why Charlie had called him; they weren't even going out anymore. He needed some answers.
When Brax got to the hospital, Brax saw Sid.
"Hey Doc, Could you tell me which room Sergeant Buckton's in?" Brax asked, hoping he wouldn't suspect anything.
"Yea, Sure; Room 34, just up the hall way." Sid said slowly looking confused as to why a member of the river boys is visiting a police officer.
Brax quickly walked to room 34. When he got there he saw Charlie, she looked weak. Her complexion was pale; it looked as though she had been throwing up non-stop.
"Hey" Brax said, sitting by Charlie's bed.
"Hi," Charlie replied not to enthused.
"What's happened?"
"I was sick this morning and I found blood in my vomit." Charlie said, looking worried.
"That's no, good, do you know what it is from?" Brax asked, trying to get more information.
"Sid thinks it could be from the amount of alcohol I consumed last night."
"Well you had a lot, More than three bottles."
Charlie gasped at the amount she had, it was way more than she had ever had.
"Brax, I need you to do something for me," Charlie told.
"Anything you like"
"I need you to go and get me, my laptop and a spare change of clothes for tomorrow."
"Okay" Brax stood up to leave and get Charlie's things.
"Wait, you can't tell Ruby or Leah either," Charlie asked.
"They need to know Charlie"
"No they don't" Charlie hoped we wouldn't.
Brax left the hospital. When he got to the house, he knocked on the door. There was no answer, so Brax got the spare key from the pot plant and let himself in. He wanted to hurry so if anybody came home they wouldn't think he was stealing from Charlie.
Brax got back to the hospital with Charlie's things.
"Did anyone see you?" Charlie asked when Brax walked in the room.
"No, no one was there, but Charlie I think they should know," Brax said looking concerned for Charlie's health.
They were interrupted by Sid. Sid came with good and bad news. The good news was that Charlie could leave in an hour, but the bad news was that Charlie has a small tear in her oesophagus. It was nothing major but Charlie wouldn't be able to eat certain things before it fixed itself. Brax offered to drive Charlie home.
There was an awkward silence between them, Brax wanted to ask so many questions but he didn't want to put pressure on Charlie.
"Charlie, Can I ask you something?" Brax asked, breaking the silence.
"Sure," Charlie said, a bit scared about what he was going to ask.
"Why did you call me? We aren't together anymore and this morning you didn't even want me to be near you." Brax said
"You were my plan B Brax. I called both Leah and Ruby first, they didn't pick up and I needed someone." Charlie said, trying to avoid looking at Brax.
"Oh..." Brax said sounding disappointed.
"Brax, I want to be with you but I can't," Charlie said placing her hand on his thigh.
"I want to be with you too and we can be together." Brax said pulling over.
"We can't be Brax; the cons outweigh the Pro's" Charlie said starting to get teary.
"I love you Charlie, I always have and always will" Brax couldn't believe what had just said, but he meant it.
