Chapter 4

Week Two

Charlie's Point of View

I got home from work and was exhausted. "Ruby? Leah? Anyone home?" I yelled through out the house. By this time, a few months ago I would have been texting Brax about now, to come over. But of course now I couldn't. We were over, I had told my boss and colleagues about our relationship and he had lied to me. Obviously a River Boy and a Policewoman were never meant to be together and I really don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place.

I could tell that Ruby wasn't the same after her and Casey broke up. She really did love him and I don't know why I didn't see that at first. "Oh hey Charlie" Ruby walked in through the front door, scaring both herself and me.

"How do you feel about Pizza for dinner? I really can not be bothered to cook anything and I'm pretty sure Leah has the night shift at the diner" I asked Ruby, flopping down on the couch.

"Charlie…you wouldn't cook even if you could" Ruby laughed, sitting down next to me.

"How are you feeling?" I asked. It had been a few days since Casey and her had split and I knew she had been going through a rough patch.

"I'm actually feeling pretty good" She tried to put on a big brave smile but I could see right through her.

"You don't need to hide these things. I'm your mother…I'm here if you need to talk" I hugged her.

"As am I" she chuckled, breaking away from the hug after a few treasured mother, daughter moments. "How are you feeling?" she smiled at me.

"I'm fine…why wouldn't I be?" I brushed away her question. She just looked at me knowingly.

"So you're fine, not missing any particular river boy, realising what a big mistake it was to let him go" She continued.

"Brax lied to me…our whole relationship was a lie and that is no way to live!" I snapped at her.

"Face it Charlie, you still care about him, no matter what you say" she shook her head and smiled. I quickly had a shower and got changed before Ruby and I headed out to Angelo's to pick up some dinner. We walked into the surf club only for Ruby to find a few a Casey's friends to start talking to. I smiled and left her before walking upstairs to pick up some pizzas and hopefully not run into Brax. Walking into the restaurant I seen the last person I wanted to see.

"Well, well, well. Sergeant Buckton…how nice of you to pop in! What can I get you?" the slimy voice of Harmen Pirovic welcomed me. I looked at him standing behind the bar with a grin painted across his scrawny face.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed.

"Oh didn't your boyfriend tell you?" He played dumb.

"Tell me what?" I asked confused.

"He's left town" he said through laughter.

"But he's coming back!" I stated.

"Oh I wouldn't be too sure about that sweet heart…especially since he signed his beloved dump of a restaurant over to me" His smile made me sick to my stomach. I looked at my pizzas waiting on the counter before turning and leaving. Brax would never had signed Angelo's over to Hammer, never in a million years! I needed to talk to him!

Ruby's point of View

"So Casey messaged me last night telling me they've started renting a place up near Coffs Harbour…you guys going up there any time soon?" I asked Stu and Sam, two of the river boys and two of the Braxton's friends.

"Yeah Brax was saying the surfs going to be pretty good this weekend" Sam replied. "We'll message you details of the trip and you plot a cover to get you out of town for the weekend" Same chuckled as he nodded to Charlie coming down the stairs.

"Charlie…what happened? Where are the pizzas?" She looked like she was about to do something she regretted.

"Hammer now owns Angelo's!" She snapped, walking outside the surf club. "Why would Brax sign over Angelo's to Hammer of all people?" Charlie continued to rant as I followed her out.

"Maybe he's planning on trying something new" I tried to make up something to get Charlie off the case of Brax leaving town.

"He told me he was only leaving town for a few weeks…he said he was coming back!" She looked like she was about to cry.

"Maybe things changed…maybe its for the best" I hugged her tightly. I knew this would happen, I knew keeping this from Charlie would only upset her more, but Brax supposedly knew what he was doing and it was in the best interest of Charlie and I. "Come on Charlie, let's go pick up something from the diner" I took her hand and started walking with her.

"I need to talk to him!" She pulled out her phone and started making a call.

"Charlie, just leave it…"

"Brax, when you get this message call me! Please!" She pleaded through the phone. "It went to voice mail" She sounded worried and upset. I couldn't watch this happen, especially when I knew he wouldn't reply to her voice mail. "Why would he do this?" She continued walking with me, slightly in shock.

Brax's Point of View

"Brax, when you get this message call me! Please!" Her voice sounded desperate, she sounded like she was in pain. I couldn't call her back, not after what I had done.

"The first call…Bro, I think you should just get a new number so that maybe you don't have to put yourself through this. She's going to keep calling if you don't reply" Heath joined me on out beach house balcony.

"It's the only way I get to hear her voice" I mumbled the truth, even though it hurt hearing her sound so upset with me.
