Chapter 25

Sorry it has taken be awhile to update. I've been very busy with uni work of late

The next morning Ruby woke up, still in the hospital and very upset with everything that had happened in the past 24 hours. She just wanted this pain to end; she didn't want to have to cope with it. Ruby knew she would have Casey, Charlie, and Brax there to support her no matter what but she feels as she has killed Casey's first child. Her own first child, by not looking after herself correctly. She hates that she is always letting Charlie down, and putting her in a position where she has to be the one to look after everyone all the time.

Sid heads into check up on Ruby and have a talk to her about her future options, and counselling.

Sid: Hi Ruby, How are you feeling this morning?

Ruby just laid there staring out the window.

Sid: Ruby, you need to talk to someone. It doesn't have to be me but you need to make sure you get help to learn to deal with everything you have been through. It's not an easy thing to cope with at any age let alone for a 17 year old to go through.

With that Sid just walked out of the room, knowing that Ruby wasn't going to speak to him but would of heard what he had to say about getting help. Sid thought it would be best to call Charlie to come down and talk to her and see if that will help her to understand that everything will be ok and to be open with people.

Sid: Charlie, I need you to come down to the hospital. We are having some communication problems with Ruby and I think it would be best if you could explain to her that she needs to talk to someone about what has happened.

Back in Ruby's hospital room.. The nurses hear a loud crash and start running in there. Ruby is lying on the floor with a needle she had found; she had stabbed herself in the heart. Ruby didn't want to feel anymore and had decided to take her own life.

Nurse 1: We need to get a doctor up here now.
Nurse 2: I'll go get Doctor Walker.
Nurse 1: Ruby, what are you trying to do?

Sid ran into the room, followed by the Nurse that went to get him.

Sid: What has she injected herself with?
Nurse 1: It looks like a high dosage of Morphine straight into her heart.
Sid: We need to get her into surgery to drain the morphine out of her system as quick as possible.

Charlie finally arrived at the hospital to talk to Ruby and to try and get through to her when she was meted by one of the nurses and told was told what had just happened. Charlie didn't know what to say, and she called Brax to come down to the hospital with Casey and informed them what had happened.

In the car over to the hospital -

Casey: Ruby can't do this! I love her to much and we will get pass this.
Brax: Case, Rubes is going through a lot of pain at the moment. Don't pressure her, or blame her for any of this. Just make sure she knows that you love her and that you would do anything for her.
Casey: I know that's what I have to, but it's hard. I'm upset about losing the baby to.
Brax: I know, but we will all help you get through this along with Rubes but right now Rubes has to be the priority otherwise she might not be here either.

They finally got to the hospital, the drive felt like it took forever but it really had only been 10 minutes at most. They rushed in and found Charlie sitting there crying waiting to hear news on Ruby, waiting to make sure she was going to be ok. Casey ran over to Charlie and hugged her. I love her she will be ok, she knows that we are all here for her and he sat down in seat across the hall wishing he actually believed what he had said to Charlie. Brax walked over and held Charlie in his arms without saying a word just waiting to hear the news.

Somewhere else in the bay… Liam returns for rehab and is looking for Bianca.

Liam heads into the diner where he is greeted by Irene and Leah.

Liam: Hi Guys, I'm looking for Bianca.
Leah: Hi Liam, welcome back. I'm not sure where Bianca is at the moment sorry.
Irene: Neither do I, but I think it's best that you give her a call, not just go around looking for her.
Liam: Why's that?

April saw who was looking for Bianca, and didn't want anyone to ruin what she had with Heath and her new family members so she headed over to have it out with him.

April: Because she is due to get married in a week's time, and you're not going to break up my family!
Liam: Who is she marrying?
April: Heath Braxton! Now stay away from her. You left her without even telling her where you were going, you have no right to go anywhere near her.
Liam: Well we will see about that won't we.
Irene: Bianca is happy Liam. Don't ruin things for her.

With that Liam headed out to search for Bianca. He was going to get her back even if it was the last thing he ever did.

Next Time: What will happen with Ruby? Will Liam find Bianca and get her back?
