Hey readers! Here is chapter 6 :)

For those of you that read Chaos written by me and my friend Mel, the sequel is now up on MelBelle94's profile, it is called Insanity, so go check it out :)

Charlie was getting worked up now and Leah could see that there was hardly any point trying to reason with Charlie, but she was going to try anyway. "Charlie, how would you feel if things were reversed?"

"I would feel mad, Leah, but I would try to forgive Brax. But right now, he's not even giving me the time of day."

"Think about staying?" Leah asked. "I don't want you to leave. Please?"

"I'll think about it." Charlie finally agreed.

"Good. Do you want to stay for lunch?" Leah asked.

"Sure. I don't have anywhere else to go," Charlie breathed. "How have you been? What's been happening around the bay?"

"I had a crazy guy stalk me." Leah answered.

Charlie's eyes grew wide. "What? Who?"

"His name is Jamie, he's Adam Sharpe's son."

"Sharpe?" Charlie asked. "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"Adam is Ricky's brother."

"Adam Sharpe," Charlie mused. "I'm sure I heard Joyce talking about him while I was in Witness Protection. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"He was a bit creepy but he didn't hurt me or VJ, we had to leave the bay for a little while though, but we're fine."

"So this Adam guy, he knows Brax?"

"As far as I know, they did. I don't know much though." Leah said thoughtfully as she sipped her coffee.

"I just want him back, Leah. I want to get back what we had."

"You still love him huh?"

"Of course I still love him. I never stopped."

Leah set her coffee down on the coffee table and looked at Charlie. "If you want him back, don't let them send you away. You fight."

"I want to but I can't stay and let them say bad things about me, I can't let Annaliese hear what they have to say."

"Charlie, they will come around."

"No. I'm sure they won't. And I love Brax, but what about Ricky?"

"I think she will understand the connection that you and Brax have."

"I won't ruin their relationship Leah, I'm not that kind of person."

"But you're in love, Charlie."

"That doesn't matter Leah! If they love each other, who am I to stand in their way?" Charlie said just as there was a knock at the door. Leah gave Charlie a small smile.

"I should probably go get that," Leah told Charlie. She walked into the kitchen to see Brax standing at the open door. "Hi. What can I do for you?"

"I um, wanted to talk to Charlie and I saw her car in the driveway. Is she still here?"

"Ummmm…"

"I'm here. What can I do for you Brax?" Charlie asked, appearing behind Leah.

"I wanted to talk."

"Oh? So now you want to talk?"

"Charlie."

"What, Brax? Are you here to yell at me?" Charlie asked as Leah slipped back into the lounge, leaving Charlie and Brax alone in the kitchen. Charlie was increasingly aware of the fact that this kitchen was where she and Brax had their first real kiss. She remembered how she had pushed him against a fridge, asking him if he was going to behave, and he had very cheekily told her 'no.'

"Look, Charlie, I'm not here to yell at you. I wanted to apologise."

Charlie was completely caught off guard. "What?" She asked in a quiet voice.

"I'm sorry, Charlie."

"Mummy?" Annaliese appeared behind Charlie, her thumb in her mouth. "My movie finished."

"Okay baby. How about you go ask Leah to put Strawberry Shortcake on for you?"

"I don't wanna watch Strawberry Shortcake. Who's that big tall man?"

Brax stared at the young girl, at his daughter.

"This is Brax" Charlie said after a short pause.

"Oh. Hi Brax," Annaliese said as she wrapped her arms around Charlie's leg. "Mummy, can you play with me?"

"You're not going to tell her who I am?" Brax asked. "Charlie, she has a right to know."

Charlie sighed heavily.

"Know what?"

Charlie knelt down to her daughter's level. "Anna, this is Brax. He is your daddy."

"He's my daddy?" Anna asked. "I have a daddy?"

"You have a daddy," Charlie confirmed. "Remember when I would tell you about him?"

"Yeah." Annaliese said as she stared up at Brax. "Do you want to play dolls with me?"

Charlie sighed. "Anna, baby, I need to talk to him. Can you please go see Leah?" Charlie asked and Annaliese nodded.

"Okay mummy, bye Brax."

Brax glared at Charlie. "You weren't going to tell her! She didn't even call me dad!"

"I wanted to be able to break it to her softly, standing there you forced my hand."

"Charlie."

"Brax, you came here to talk. I was going to tell her, ease her into it, she's a child," Charlie breathed deeply. "What do you want from me?"

"I was an idiot Charlie."

"Yeah? What makes you think that?"

"Ricky told me that I was being harsh on you and she was right. Charlie, I'm sorry. You didn't ask for any of this. But Charlie, you need to understand my side of things. I thought you died. I got this tattoo done for you," Brax showed Charlie his arm with the writing on it. "It means friend of my heart. You meant everything to me, and then you were gone. You have no idea how that felt."

"I have no idea how that felt? I lost everything too Brax."

"I know. Maybe now we can get that back." Brax said, and before Charlie could come up with a response, his lips were on hers. Charlie couldn't help but melt into the familiar embrace, her arms wrapping around his neck, furthering the kiss. It was when Brax tried to slip his tongue into her mouth that she pushed him off her.

"What about Ricky?" Charlie asked.

Ricky will understand."

"I can't be the cause of your breakup Brax, she's too nice. I'm sorry, I just...I love you but we can't do this."

"Charlie."

"You're with someone else Brax, I'm sorry."
