Chapter 14

After spending hours down at Police station, they finally had to let Heath go without charging him. He was met by Bianca outside the Police station, who took him back to her place. Once they got back to their place, they heard Casey, Ruby and Brax talking about what happened at Keisha's place and they thought they would join them and tell them there exciting news.

Bianca: Hey Guys! Where's Charlie?
Ruby: No idea, haven't seen her since she left here this morning to go see Inspector Joyce regarding her position in the police force.
Bianca: Well, Heath and I have some news. We were going to wait till Charlie gets here but we will just tell you now.
Heath: One I didn't get charged with lighting the fire a Keisha's place. There was no evidence and Two…
Bianca: We are engaged!
Heath: and on the way back to the house we decided we should get a place of our own.
Ruby: I'm so happy for you guys! Have you told April yet?
Bianca: Not yet. We are having dinner with her at Angelo's to tell her.
Ruby: Let us know how she takes the news….
Brax: Well congrates! I never thought Heath would be the first one out of us boys to settle down and get married.
Casey: Well who did you think would be the first?
Brax: You or me…
Casey & Heath just laughed at that.
Heath: Brax now don't rush into any idea with Charlie, and Casey you already got Ruby knocked up so need to go marrying her next week either we know it will happen once you're older.

As Heath and Bianca were heading out to tell April their news, Charlie walked in and gave Heath a dirty look as to say what are you doing here. Bianca just said "She's probably had a bad day, and been questioned about this fire. I'll chat to her when we get back and she will be alright". Heath just nodded as they made their way to Heath's car.

Brax: Hey you! Your finally home. What did you want for dinner?

Charlie just looked at Casey, Ruby and Brax before walking off to her room ignoring them.

Casey: What was that about? Or better yet Brax what have you done this time?
Brax: I haven't even seen Charlie today, but I want to find out what has gotten into her.
Ruby: I'll go have a chat with her… You two go get Pizza for dinner.

Ruby walked into Charlie's bedroom to see Charlie crying into her pillow.

Ruby: Charlie, what's wrong?
Charlie: I've been fired.
Ruby: Why?
Charlie: Because of my relationship with Brax and personal connections with the rest of the family. Plus they believe Brax and Heath lit the fire at Keisha's and think I had something to do with that and if she doesn't make it through at the hospital they said they would charge me with that
Ruby: They can't if you weren't involved.
Charlie: She said as they were carrying her out of the fire "Charlie Buckton did this", and then she passed out.

Ruby just hugged her mother, before saying "Don't take this out on the boy's. Brax loves you and he is worried about you".

Charlie: You can tell him what happened; I'm not ready to face him or his brother right now. I just need some time to myself.

Ruby heard the boys come back in, so she headed downstairs to join them for dinner and told them everything that Charlie just said. As Ruby was replaying the what Charlie said Heath and Bianca came in and heard everything. Brax ran upstairs to Charlie's room…

Next Time - What will Brax say to Charlie? Will Keisha actually make it through or will she pass on?
