Chapter 7
At the hospital Brax and Morag arrived in time to hear what the doctor was about to tell Ruby, along with Heath, Casey and Bianca. The big words doctors use to confuse people made it sound worse than what it was however to Brax and Ruby it was pretty bad however it could have been a lot worse if the other driver didn't contact the ambulance straight away. The doctor basically told them that Charlie would be out of surgery soon however she had server head injury few broken ribs and a broken leg. She was in surgery because the ribs needed to be placed back properly so it could heal correctly and to stop the internal bleeding she had also suffered. After the doctor left they all went and sat down waiting again to be able to see Charlie. Right after they sat down Alf, Colleen, Leah, Miles, April, Dex, Gina and a few others (Basically the whole of summer bay) came into the waiting area not sure if they should go and see Ruby and help comfort her.
Casey was sitting next to Ruby with his arm around her trying to comfort her when she looked up and saw all the people on the other side of the waiting room looking at her. She got up and walked over to them, furious as why they were here when none of them had supported Charlie especially not Colleen who had a petition signed to get them kicked out of the caravan Park.
"What do you think use are doing her?" Ruby asked furiously. Everyone looked at her to try and understand why she was upset with them being there. They thought she would want comforting by friends. Leah was the first to speak.
"Ruby as yours and Charlie's friends, we would like to comfort you in this horrible ordeal" Leah said as nice, sweet and calmly as she could.
"Mine and Charlie's friends! The only friends that Charlie and I need are the ones that care about us and not the ones that kick us out of our home! And those friends are over there" Ruby started to yell while pointing in the direction she had just come from. Everyone looked at her, upset she had thought that of them. However most of them knew she was right, as Charlie and Ruby's friends they did a horrible job at being there for them.
Before anyone could speak Ruby started again.
"I guess in these situations you truly do find out who your true friends are" Ruby said as she turned and walked back to the other side of the waiting room with the people who cared about her and Charlie the whole time instead of starting now, when something bad had to happen to make them realise this whole feud was stupid.
Everyone left except Ruby, Casey, Bianca, Heath, Brax and Morag. The only people Ruby wanted to be there as they stuck by her and Charlie the whole time. Brax was walking backwards and forwards in front of them waiting impatiently for some news. It was annoying Ruby so she got up and went to get something to eat and drink for everyone. When she came back the doctor was there talking to Brax and Morag. Ruby raced over but the doctor had finished and left. Ruby looked at Brax and Morag hoping they would say something.
"Charlies going to be okay" Brax told her with a smile on his face. The women he loved was going to be okay. Ruby hugged Brax and Morag then went and sat down with everyone else and gave them their drinks and snack. Roo came to the hospital and walked up to Brax and Morag.
"I'm sorry for trying to kick use out and I shouldn't have listened to what everyone else thought" Roo started to explain with a sad look upon her face.
"So what's that mean?" Brax replied to her anxiously, hoping that Charlie and Ruby could stay with him.
"I'm allowing Ruby and Charlie to stay with use if they want to" Roo explained with a smile on her face, happy that she could help in some way.
"Thank you that means so much" Brax replied and hugging Roo.
After Roo had left Morag told Ruby the good news that her and Charlie will have a place to live if they needed it. Ruby was so happy. The doctor appeared again and walked up to the group.
"Charlies out of surgery and should make a full recovery in no time at all" he said to the group with a smile.
"Can we go and see her?" Ruby asked anxiously
"Yes but two at a time please" the doctor replied and walked off. The group all hugged each other happy that Charlie was okay. They didn't know who should go in first but Ruby would be definitely in the room.
"Brax you can go in with Ruby, you and Ruby are the two people that mean the world to Charlie" Morag said to Brax in front of the group so that they all agreed to let him and Ruby go in first...
