Hello guys, thanks again for reading and again a massive thanks to those of you who review, you're awesome. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Charlie's POV:
I woke up snuggled into someone's chest, my head was pounding, I slowly opened my eyes and they scanned over the words 'Blood and Sand': 'Brax' I thought. I withdrew my arm that was tightly placed around his waist, he began to stir and opened his eyes he looked down at me, I smiled at him, he didn't return the smile. He slid out of the bed,
"Morning." He muttered.
"Hey." He slipped his shirt over his head, "My memory's a bit fuzzy-" I replied.
He cut in, "I wonder why..." He sounded angry.
"What happened last night Brax?" I asked.
"You got smashed, came to Angelo's tried it on with Matt in front of his girlfriend, refused to go home, so I brought you home, you woke up Ruby, insisted that you wouldn't go to bed without me, so here I am."
"Oh." He advanced towards the door after putting his shoes on,
"I have to get to work, bye." He mumbled, I leapt out of the bed and ran after him,
"BRAX, WAIT!" I called after him, I rounded the corner into the living room to see him already exiting the main door of the house, I stopped, realising he wouldn't want to speak to me, Ruby emerged from the kitchen, I ran to the bathroom and threw up.
"Gosh, could he get out of here any faster?" Ruby asked when I emerged.
I sighed, "You look a state, Charlie." I shot her a look, "Definitely in the Halloween spirit." She winked at me before fully entering the living room.
"What did I do with Matt exactly? 'Cause Brax is so angry." I said.
"Well, he just told me last night that you motioned to kiss Matt, he pulled you off him." Ruby replied.
"Oh gosh, I don't get why he's so angry though Rubes, I'm with him, aren't I?"
"Charlie! That's exactly why, he's your boyfriend, and he watched you attempt to kiss some other guy!"
I sighed, "I s'pose when you put it like that..."
"I think you should go and talk to him, Charlie." Ruby suggested.
"I will, later. He needs to cool off a bit at the moment."
"Alright, I'm just gonna get dressed for school." I nodded before Ruby left to get ready.
-10 minutes later.-
I was sitting down watching the TV, after having thrown up a few more times. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I grasped onto my stomach, thinking it might go away, but it didn't,
"RUBY!" I called, she came running out of her room, she must've seen that I was in pain 'cause she looked worried,
"Charlie?"
"My stomach."
"What? Are you pregnant?" She asked."
"We-wh- I don't know, I don't think so." I gasped. She ran over to me and helped me off the couch, she grabbed the car keys,
"I'm taking you to the hospital." I nodded and proceeded to the car.
-At the hospital, 30 minutes later-
Sid had told me on arrival that he was going to do some tests to check if I was pregnant, I also informed him of last night's heavy drinking session. I was sitting in the hospital room alone when Ruby walked in with some water for me,
"Water for the patient." She said sarcastically.
"Thanks honey." I replied gratefully.
"I- er, back in a sec, mom." I looked at her to see her gazing at someone outside, I tried to see who but I couldn't, she shut the door to my hospital room behind her.
Sid walked into my hospital room next, bearing the same remorseful face as always, even if he was bringing good news, my heart skipped a beat when I considered what he might say.
Ruby's POV:
I walked outside to Brax, I hadn't told Charlie that he was here, or that I had rang him for that matter, he looked at me worriedly,
"Rubes, is she alright?" He asked frantically.
"Calm down, would you? She's fine."
He looked relieved, "Sid just did some tests, and that's him gone back in there now, probably with the results."
He nodded, "Alright, well thanks, I'll go in and see her after that."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?"
He looked at me confused, "If what's a good idea?"
"You going to see Charlie."
"She is my girlfriend."
"This morning though."
"Ruby, I'm not gonna let you get rid of me that easily, and I'm not gonna let you push me away, I'm here for Charlie because I love her, alright?"
I nodded and smiled lightly at Brax's little declaration,
"I'm gonna head to school anyway, let Charlie know I've gone please."
He nodded and smiled at me before I left.
-Charlie's room, whilst Brax and Ruby were talking.-
Charlie's POV:
"Hey Charlie, how are you feeling?" Sid asked me.
"Getting there." I answered, "Still a little sore."
"Well, I've got your test results here, you're not pregnant, it turns out the throwing up was down to your drinking, and stomach pains were a result of that too, we could run some more tests to check what caused it in particular, if you wish?"
I quickly shook my head, "No thank you, I think it's down to excessive drinking, that's it."
"Alright, well I'd like you to stay in for a few more hours, Ruby said she's collect you after school, so I'll discharge you then."
"Okay, thanks Sid." I said as I watched him exit the room, as soon as Sid exited, another figure entered, Brax.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey you." He replied. "You just can't get enough of this place, eh?" He joked.
I laughed slightly at his comment, but said nothing, I felt a tad awkward around him, especially after last night, and this morning's fiasco.
"So em, Ruby mentioned on the phone that you could be em, em."
"Pregnant?" I helped him, he nodded. "I'm not, Sid just brought the test results, down to excessive drinking apparently."
I slowly shook my head, regaining memory of last night, how I acted around Matt, how Brax must have felt, a few tears rolled down my cheek, Brax must've noticed them as he moved closer,
"Hey, what are these for?" He asked, nodded towards my cheek and sitting on the bed facing me,
"I'm, I'm so so-sorry Brax." I managed to mumble, he stood up again, this time, he came and sat next to me on the bed, he took my head in his hands after wiping away my tears,
"It's fine." He replied, he kissed my lips softly before putting one arm around me, pulling my body closer to his, I rested my head on his chest, he took my hand in his and squeezed it tightly.
I smiled, Brax could easily turn any bad situation into a happy one, he just had to be his usual comforting self, and I loved him for that, I loved him for everything he was.
-6:30pm, Buckton residence.-
Charlie's POV:
Ruby opened the front door and guided me inside,
"Ruby I'm fine now, you know."
"I know, I just don't get to look after you often so yeah." I smiled at her.
We were in the kitchen when there was a slight knock on the door, it was open, we both turned to see Brax in the doorway,
"I was meeting Xave at the beach, see ya."
I laughed slightly at how Ruby always seemed to have something to do every time Brax came over.
"Bye Rubes." I replied.
Brax smiled at her as she left.
"Hey." Brax said
"Heey." I looked over to him, "Do you want a coffee?"
"Sure." I turned back to make the coffees, when I was done I picked up two mugs, I walked over to Brax and handed him his mug,
"Thanks." He said, I smiled at him before walking into the living room, he followed me, I sat down on the couch, Brax sat down beside me,
"Charlie?" Brax asked.
"Mhm?" I replied.
"Why'd you get drunk last night?" I turned to look at Brax who was staring at me intently,
I got up and paced around the living room, "I'm sorry. I don't know why I did it, I guess it was because of the accident with Liam, the robbery, the evidence, resigning, you."
I looked at Brax, he got up and turned to face me, he looked confused.
I continued, "I've been so difficult to be around." He took a few steps closer to me, "I don't know, I guess I just felt like I was losing you." A single tear trailed down my cheek.
He walked closer to me, so he was standing right in front of me, he took my hands in his,
"You'll never lose me, you know how much I love you, right?"
I nodded, I glanced up at him, he had a cheeky grin on his face, I smiled he leaned in and kissed me, I kissed him back, we were both happy.
