It took Lola a while to get used to her surroundings; it had been a few weeks since she first came in to Rehab.

As Lola sat in the lounge reading a book she looked up and noticed a rather shy looking young girl. She seemed a bit nervous; Lola put her book down on the table and headed over to her "Do you read?" Lola asked softly, the girl looked up at Lola and shook her head. "Is it your first time here?" Lola asked the girl.

"Yeah" she replied simply "How about you?"

"It's my 5th time in here" the girl looked horrified "Hey but it's the first time I have actually wanted to be here" Lola added, the girl relaxed. "My name's Lola"

"Tara" the girl replied with a shy tone.

Bianca and Liam were sat at a table in Angelo's. They had managed to work things out and had decided to go on a date. Liam could feel two sets of eyes burning into his back as Brax and Heath glared at him "It's like he doesn't even care what happened to Lola" Heath sniped.

"Yeah, but at the moment Lola is better off without the drama, she needs a clear head" Brax said as he wiped the bar, he had been wiping the same spot for about ten minutes.

Bianca had also noticed the deathly stares they were getting "God this is ridiculous it's like been in a goldfish bowl" Bianca spat as she watched the brothers.

"They're her brothers Bianca what did you expect hand shakes and apologies, what about if that was April" Liam tried to explain.

"April isn't stupid or weak enough to get involved with drugs" Bianca snapped.

"Lola's not stupid and she definitely isn't weak, you have got no idea what you are talking about so don't you dare judge her" Liam was shocked by his aggressive reaction.

"Oh my god you still have feelings for her don't you?" Bianca was furious that Liam reacted like that.

"No, of course I don't, I just never had you down as the judgemental type" Liam explained weakly. He was still shocked by his own reaction to Bianca's judgmental comment. Was Bianca right did he still have feelings for his ex-girlfriend?

Later that night Charlie and Brax had called a meeting, as they walked into the house they saw Casey, Ruby and Heath sat in the lounge.

"What's so urgent?" Casey asked as soon as they walked into the door.

"Ok so while we were away me and Charlie got some news" Brax started.

"I'm pregnant" Charlie couldn't stand the big build up so she thought she would interrupt, leaving Brax a little annoyed. Heath just stared as Ruby and Casey stood up and hugged the couple in turn.

"Does Lola know?" Heath asked, Brax shook his head. "Oh I get it out of sight out of mind" He spat angrily.

"Nah, it's not like that mate" Brax tried to explain but Heath had already got up and walked out of the house.

"Leave him to calm down baby" Charlie whispered as she kissed Brax's cheek before sitting down with Casey and Ruby and filling them in on all the details. Brax thought about what Heath had said. Maybe he should have waited until Lola was home before breaking the news. As he watched Charlie explaining everything to Ruby he realised he had made the right decision, Lola would understand, she was great like that. But Brax did realise he would have to tell his sister before Heath did.

Lola and Tara had been talking most of the night. They had discussed everything from their families to their first hit. Even though Lola had told Tara everything about herself, Tara was still puzzled by something.

"That tattoo across you back 'Blood and Sand' what does it mean?" Tara asked nervously.

"Oh, it's like a trademark. All the River Boy's have it somewhere, that's how you know who we are" Lola explained.

"What about that one?" Tara asked pointing at the Braxton one Lola had on her left forearm.

"Braxton, oh that's my surname, Lola…well Lauren actually Lauren Jade Braxton" Tara looked worried.

"You're a Braxton?" she asked, Lola noticed how quickly her tone had changed.

"Yeah, you know the name?" Lola asked curiously.

"You could say that yeah" Tara replied.

Hope this chapter was ok, it is the first one I have done without Nikayla's help. Please let me know what you thought.
