RUBY P.O.V

I walked out of the house, quickly. I had told Charlie that I was going to get lunch at the diner. I was going to see Brax. After hearing Charlie talk about everything that had happened and turned bad in the short space of 5 minutes, I was furious at Brax.

I walked to Angelo's, I arrived at 4:30pm, It was between shifts. As I walked in, Brax was walking over to the table with a glass and a whole bottle of whiskey.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" I yell immediately sitting down beside him.

"Well hello to you too."

"Brax, this is serious okay? I've just been with Charlie for the last hour. She's at home crying her eyes out. You have really hurt her." Brax looked up at me, I could tell how sorry he looked. His eyes just looked so down and depressed.

"Brax I really like you okay! Just between you and I, you probably haven't noticed- but Charlie has commitment issues. She used to date Angelo and it took months for her to say I love you. He suggested they move in together- she got stressed out straight away. You the first guy she's been with that seems to be a normal relationship." I told me screaming.

"I told her I was sorry, she wouldn't talk to me. I love her so much."

"Yeah I know you do. What happened today was out of control though. I really couldn't care less what Heath said to aggravate you- it shouldn't of happened."

"I know, Charlie means so much to me. Hearing Heath talk about her like that, I couldn't handle it- I just wanted to kill him."

"Well, you have to make it up to her. Don't think it will be easy though- Charlie is going to hate you for this. Buy her something nice- chocolates or something. Fereo Rocheo's are her favourite."

"Okay, thanks Ruby." I smiled as he got up. He was going to see her now.

"Brax, wait there's something else. When I was talking to her, she covered her face up. I told her to move her hand and there was a big purple bruise on her cheek. She got it from when you elbowed her during the fight." I stared at Brax. He looked as if he was going to cry.

"I have to go and see her. I never meant to hurt her."

"Brax, I wouldn't. Just leave it until at least tomorrow."

"No, I have to see her and apologize. I never meant to hurt her.

"Well if she asks, I wasn't here and I haven't spoken or seen you." He nodded his head as we walked out and headed in separate directions. I decided to give them space.

BRAX P.O.V

I knocked on Charlie's door, and waited impatiently. A few minutes later, she open up. It hurt me, when I looked at her. She had a purple patch on her cheek. To think that I'd done this to her, made me feel sick.

"I told you to leave me alone." She replied attempting to close the door. I wasn't going to give up that quickly though. I restrained it so she couldn't.
"Please Charlie, just hear me out. I feel so terrible about everything. I'm so, so, sorry about your bruise. You know I never wanted this dont you?"

I reached my hand out and tried to cup her face. She moved further away quickly. "Don't touch me." Was all she said. She looked at me angrily and weakly, not replying to my question.

"Charlie you have to understand that I wasnt just going to stand by and listen to my brother say crap about you. Your the most important person to me, I love you."

"Brax, one of the reasons that I decided to become a police officer was so I could put people like you and your brother away. I don't want people like you in my life. You have anger management issues and they need to be sorted out.

"Charlie, c'mon you don't mean that. You know me, I'm not a criminal"

"I don't know anymore Brax."

"I've brought you these." I replied holding the chocolates that Ruby suggested to her.

"She just looked at them and then rolled her eyes. I could tell she was about to start crying. "Brax you can't just come here say sorry, give me some chocolates and expect that everything will be all lardy-dar. It doesn't work that way. We're over as far as I'm concerned.

We both looked down as she closed the door. Neither of us, said anything else to each other. I left the chocolates on the small tables outside, hoping Ruby would get the message and give them to her for me. Charlie may have said things were over, but I'm going to fight for her. I walked back to Angelo's slowly. I passed Ruby on the way.

"Hey Brax, how did everything go?" She asked stopping in front of me. I liked Ruby, but I honestly didn't want to talk to her or anyone (except Charlie).

"Don't wanna talk about it." I replied walking past her. We said no more to each other as I continued my way back to Angelo's. She must have got the message, because she started walking faster towards hers and Charlie's house.

RUBY P.O.V

I understood straight away when I saw Brax and he just kept walking and didn't want to talk to me. Obviously things had not gone well with Charlie.
"Charlie" I yelled walking inside. Brax had left chocolates on the table, I took them inside. If Charlie wasn't going to eat them then I would. These things are so expensive but tasted amazing. "Charlie" I whisper entering her room.

She was just lying there with a pillow, hugging it tightly. "You broke up with him didn't you." She nodded her head.

"Is there any chance you guys could get back together?"

"I don't think so. We've only been dating 2 months, it's not like it was 10 years. I really liked him, he was different to all the other guys."

"Charlie, I saw him on the way home, he looked gutted. He's going to fight for you."

"Honestly Rubes, I doubt it'll make a difference."

"Well, we have chocolate! If you don't want them, then I will eat them all now Charlie."

"Give them here" Charlie said digging in.

There you guys go! Sorry about the ending, I bet you guys were hoping for something else! As you can see, they have broken up, the next few chapters will be about that. Please don't hate me! Please review and tell me what you think please! :)
