AUTHORS NOTES: Hey guys, thanks for or the wonderful reviews, and a shout out to Bobbie who was the 10 reviewer for this story so far

This story is set after Charlie was shot by Jake and this is how I wish Home and Away played out Charlie's life.

What you might want to know:

Heath will be a big part of this story...I was maybe thinking about having him and Bianca together but I truly don't know just yet.

You may find out within the next few chapters why Ruby and Casey broke up.

HEATH P.O.V

"Well leave you to it Dylan; we'll be around first thing in the morning just make sure Darryl knows we are going to need to make some decisions on Charlie's future." Donyal explained. He hooded towards me as he left with is co-worker, I stood there for another few minutes before actually coming to terms to what that guy had just said.

"Casey can you please explain everything to Heath while I get the spare room ready for Dylan." Ruby pleaded as she headed upstairs with that Dylan kids bag.

I sat at the table ready for the worst, preparing myself for what Casey had to say to me.

RUBY P.O.V

I walked up stairs into the spare room where Darcy sometimes stays so it was already made up. I finished helping my brother… it sounded weird calling someone my brother...get settled in made sure he was alright before he went to bed. I went back down stairs to where Casey was explaining everything to Heath. CRASH before anyone could say anything one drunken Brax walked in with great help from Charlie's best friend Bianca. "Fanks babe, I had a great night tonight." He explained before crashing on the couch. "I found him drunk on the beach and decided it was best if I brought him home!" She explained. "I'm going to bed," I called from the stairs. "Me to" Casey added in agreement, leaving Heath and Bianca I one very awkward matter.

BIANCA P.O.V

I saw Brax on the breach in one very drunken state, deciding it would be best to bring him home where hopefully Heath wouldn't be there because every time we end up face to face it gets very awkward.

"He was going on about Charlie been alive; do you know what that is about?" I asked Heath in hope he could give me answers on what the hell was going on.

"Ummm….no I don't sorry" He said forcefully as I headed out the door.

I walked home unable to wash of this weird vibe I was getting from the Braxton/Buckton house hold.

The very next Day…

BRAX P.O.V

I woke up with one killing head ache from the night before when I went to Angelo's to drink away my sorrows. "Guys get out of bed now!" Casey screamed from the kitchen. Stumbling out of bed I make my way out to the kitchen where Casey sat with a pan of bacon and one very unimpressed look on his face.

As Ruby and Dylan made their ways down to the island in the kitchen Casey face come to more and more confused within my eyes. "wh...What are you planning Case?" I asked, now defiantly unsure of what Casey was planning.

"As we all know Dylan has been given into our care as Charlie is unable to-"

"Don't talk about my mother a-" Dylan argued cutting Casey

"Our...our mother" Ruby snapped, also cutting Dylan off. The as conversation got pretty heated Casey started to lose him patients when he snapped.

"Everyone shut the fuck up," At that right second the room went silent so he continued. "Now Charlie is both of your mothers, this is a contest on who she love more; I am going to say what I have to say without any interruptions, got it?" Casey yelled staring deeply into everyone's eyes.

"Yes" The all chorused

"Okay, good, now we have to choose one person who is able to see Charlie every so often; any ideas?"

HEATH P.O.V

I woke up, got ready for a surf. Heading over to little Buckton's house knowing that she'll come to, when I get there I could here Ruby and an unfamiliar voice arguing, I walk over to the door to see Ruby in tears, I race over her...I maybe bad when it comes to tears but since Buckton died little Buckton and I have become really close. "What the fuck is up with the talk of Buckton for? And who the fuck is this kid?"

DYLAN P.O.V

Great this must be my uncle Heath mum always talks about… "I am your fucken nephew, so if this how you talk to your family for then I'm leaving. Oww and if Buckton is my mum then I have to know that she alive and living life to its least as she is in witness protection because of some fucken war you thought that because you have very little to do with your time other then running and chasing police in circles" With that I stormed out and ran to my room.

30 minutes later

Knock, Knock. "Can I come in?" Ruby asked with her usual sweet tone.

"Whatever" I shrugged

With that she walked in a sat at the end of my bed, she looked as uncomfortable as I felt.

"I'm sorry about Heath, but what would you do if you found out that your brothers dead girlfriend is, well, not really dead and can be anywhere around us but you just don't know."

"It's alright, mum use to tell me any stories about you guys, she would tell me the good and bad of all of you, she also made me promise her that I would make an effort on getting along with her and get you to teach me how to surf if you agreed?" I asked nervously

"Yer, of course!"

BRAX P.O.V

I could see Ruby walking back down the stairs with Dylan. I had thought about whom I was going to let go see Charlie now all I had to do was ask Ruby then it was sorted.

"Ruby? What do you think about Sam going to see Charlie from now on?"

"Ummm, yer that's the one who is here all the time, yer?"

"Yer"

"So it's sorted, Sam will go and see Charlie."
