tonites home and away episode has given me inspiration to put this chapter up xxx
Monday…
Rickys POV…
Tomorrow Brax was coming home and that meant there were 2 days until the court case, I was really nervous about the greeting he would get back in town, but most of all the family . They were shocked first by their brother saying he killed someone then by confessing for manslaughter.
"Ricky" the voice of Bianca yelled and she turned around
"Hey B"
"I thought you'd be on the surf, the waves are cracking" she inquired
"Yeah, I don't feel like surfing today." I mumbled and she nodded and sat down next to me,
"Ok, time for a one on one girly chat, something is on your mind" Bianca whispered and tapped Ricky's shoulders.
…
"Oh wow, ok, do you know?" Bianca asked an emotional Ricky, who shook her head
"What am I..I going to…to do B" she chocked out through her blabbering state
"Honey, you're not sure, so don't worry yourself" she re-ensured Ricky who once again nodded and leant into Bianca's embrace.
….
Casey's POV…
Heaths words kept ringing in my mind, spinning around in circles, I left and went to auto pilot to my source of comfort, Leah's house, and it held so many memories for me and Brax, mostly Brax ,
I knocked on the door and nobody answered so I knocked again, this time a reluctant Tamara answered, sighing when she saw it was me rolling her eyes
"Why aren't you replying to my texts?" I asked and she inhaled a sharp breath
"You were texting me, I didn't get any text's" she nodded, I knew she was lying because her eyes went wide and she blushed slightly.
"Yes you did" I drawled out and she eventually gave in
"I did, but I needed space" she muttered and nodded
"Is there any chance we could talk?" I asked and she opened the door wider allowing me to walk in
"Thanks"
…
3rd person POV
Meanwhile Ricky and Bianca had begun to walk up to the Surf club to get a juice
"Are you sure?" Bianca asked
"I'm sure B" she replied but stopped when Bianca stopped walking, her mouth was agape and her eyes were widened, Ricky turned around and she gasped in shock, there were police cruisers outside of the surf club and in Angelos, they ran inside when they were stopped by an officer they hadn't seen before.
"Sorry you're not allowed in" he said in a harsh tone pushing them away when John interrupted
"Their aloud in, Darryl's girlfriend and Heaths wife" and the officer walked off letting them in,
"What happened John?" Bianca asked and John sighed
"Go look for yourself" he said and nodded to Angelos causing Ricky to blast up the stairs, she stopped at the entrance and tears sprung to her eyes.
…
3rd person POV
"I'm worried about him Tam , what if the worst does happen?" he questioned her like he was asking himself and she shrugged her shoulders and tears sprung her eyes at the state of the man she truly loved , the man she treated so badly when he was the one who should've been there for her.
'Brax is strong, if the worst does happen , he'll get through it…" she said calmly and rubbed his back,
"its funny how his got off so many times, but now he gave himself up." Casey commented and Tamara looked at him
"I thought Brax had been inside before?" she questioned confused and Casey let out a mere chuckle
"His been charged heaps and spent nights at the station but his always got off" and Tamara nodded her head and smiled
"Case I need to tell you something"
"You need to know something"
They both blurted out at the same time, Tamara's heart was plummeting against her chest, if she was standing as a shadow you could see her heart pounding , Casey's heart was racing and his stomach began to flutter.
"You go first" Casey told Tamara who had bowed her head attempting to cover the blush spreading across her cheeks
"I can't be your friend case, I want more, so I've decided to leave town until you've recovered and then we'll se…" she began blubbering but was interrupted when Casey's lips crashed onto hers causing her to pull away
"What are you doing Case?" she asked
"I want to be with you to" he whispered and tilted his head to the left causing Tamara to do the same on the right side, she couldn't handle the temptation and flung her arms around his neck kissing him hard.
…
POV (continued)
She couldn't believe it, who would do this, who would do this to Brax, she scanned Angelos and a stray tear dripped from her eye rolling down her cheek.
She was shocked , someone had broken in and completely trashed the place, the walls were spray painted red printing MURDERER or ONCE A MURDERER ALWAYS A MURDERER reminding her of the day Brax opened up to her about Charlie,
Flashback
Brax had been hot and Cold all day causing Ricky great confusion, Casey wouldn't tell her what was wrong but she was determined to find out.
She walked down to the beach for a surf to see a fully clothed Brax wearing his cargos and Black shirt with the top button undone, with a bottle of bourbon.
"Hey" she said , trying her best to lighten up the tone in her voice but she couldn't help the flatness.
"Hi" he replied equally as bluntly, what shocked her was he tapped the space of grass next to him causing Ricky to sit next to him
"It's her anniversary" he told her and she nodded in confusion
"Who's?" she questioned
"Charlies" he muttered and Ricky nodded in understanding , it was all over Mangrove when the Yabbee Creek sergeant passed.
"What happened there?" she asked and Brax's eyes filled with tars but he blinked them away causing his eyes to go bloodshot red.
"We were seeing each other in secret, she was a police sergeant and I was a beach bum criminal who caused trouble, I really did love her" he whispered and she nodded
"Jake got wind of it and when I left the gang war heath planned a raid of on Jakes crop ,Jake got wind of it and ambushed them, Charlie was first on scene , the gang war escalated from there and it led to Charlie being in danger , she got shot , then kidnapped saving me an killing Hammer in the process." He was about to continue when Ricky gasped
"You were there?" she questioned and he nodded
"Hammer was dead and Jake was in jail, we were finally happy, we were moving to the city, Charlie , Rubes , Case and I were happy, Charlie was leaving her job and Ruby was going to uni while I was going to open a new restaurant. It was her last day, she left my place early so she could have a fresh uniform and have everything perfect on her last day, me, Case and Ruby came home to find Charlie lying on the living room floor in a pool of her own blood not breathing, Ruby had to close her life support" he ended and let out a soft sob causing Ricky to engulf him in her arms as much as she could
"Now you're my Present but what about my future?" he questioned looking up at her and she nodded a smile spread across her face
"I'll be here forever" she mumbled and kissed him
End of flashback
None of it was Brax's fault, it was Jake pirovic's. she walked up to a table to see a not written in magazine letters
Your no better than Jake Pirovic
Causing Ricky to let out a sob, she turned around when she heard a sniff
"His nothing like Pirovic" Bianca whispered and Ricky nodded letting Bianca comfort her with a hug as she cried
I wanted to explore the strength between Brax and Ricky etc. him telling her about Charlie, I also wanted to bring Tamara and Casey together like last nights episode since this isn't a just Ricky and brax story...
The twist will be revealed soon, thank you to everyone who's reviewing the story, it makes my day reading them...
