Thanks again for the reviews! I love reading them and your ideas on what might happened next they are always noticed xx
Previously: Caitlyn plans her attack on Charlie by using Hammer to get to her. Ruby convinces Casey to run away with her.
Chapter 37 Brax:
Charlie: I'm just in shock, why would Hammer want to send me flowers?
Brax: He is probably trying to get to us for what happened with Jake.
Charlie: I need to head down the road, I feel like and apple, with ice cream and cheese. Can we discuss this when I get back?
Brax: Of course Babe, do you want me to come with you? I also really don't want to know what the go is with that craving though.
Charlie: Neither do I, and yes I would like you to come.
Charlie headed up to her bedroom to get her handbag and car keys when she realised her car keys were missing. She screamed "Brax, is my car out the front", and Brax just replied with a simple no. Charlie headed back down with her phone attached to her hear "Ruby, Call me or Answer your phone I know you have my car!" next she tried Casey, saying exactly the same thing.
Brax went over to hug her to get her to calm down.
Charlie: Get Away from me! I need my car! I need to go to the shops!
Brax: I'll drive you.
With that Brax and Charlie headed out to Brax's ute down to the shops. While Charlie was in buying her apples, ice cream and cheese Brax received an unwanted phone call from Heath "Mate, where are you Bianca and I need to talk to you and Charlie. It's important", Brax said he will meet them at their house in 5 minutes. Once Charlie returned to car he relayed Heath's message and they headed straight over there.
Charlie and Brax finally arrived at Heath & Bianca's place and noticed a moving truck out the front. They knocked on the front door and waited for Answer.
Darcy: Hi Uncle Brax & Aunty Charlie, come in.
Brax: Thanks Darce. Where is your dad and B?
Darcy: Out the back, cooking a barbeque.
Charlie, Brax and Darcy headed out the back to join Bianca & Heath. Darcy went and played in her tree house while the adults talked.
Bianca: We have news. Good and Bad. What do you want to hear first?
Charlie: Go with the good first at least that might make the bad not as bad.
Bianca: Heath & I brought the house next door to your place! Where that slut apparently moved into.
Charlie: Not only will we end up as sister-in-laws we will also be neighbours & best friends. What's the bad news now?
Heath: You two might want to sit down.
Brax: Ah what is it Heath.
Heath looked at Charlie; the look on her face was changing from being excited to miserable. He hated seeing his future sister-in-law like that. He liked Charlie, he might not of to start with but he realised how great of a person she actually is.
Heath: It's Rubes and Case.
Bianca: We found this letter in Case's room addressed to the four of us.
Bianca handed the letter to Charlie that read
"Charlie, Heath, Bianca & Brax, We've left together and we won't be returning. Charlie sorry for taking your car but I can't live in a house with you & Brax. If you ever want to see me again you have to end things with Brax for good. He keeps hurting you and you keep running back to him, I can't see you like that anymore – Love Ruby. Heath & Bianca, thanks for taking me in. I really appreciate it you'll always be the best part of my family, as for you Brax you screwed up and I don't know if I will ever want to see you again. I looked up to you like a father figure and had grown to treat Charlie as a mother figure and you keep ruining that. Charlie I'm sorry, we will both miss you like crazy – Casey".By the time Charlie had finished reading the letter she was crying her eyes out, before she handed it to Brax to read. While Brax was reading Charlie got up and walked out.
Darcy: Why is Aunty Charlie leaving? Why is she crying? What happened?
Heath: Baby, don't worry about it. Aunty Charlie will be fine in time, just go play lunch will be served soon.
Brax: Heath this isn't the only problem we have and I don't know if Charlie will cope through it all.
Heath: What's the other problem
Brax: Hammer sent flowers to the house addressed to Charlie, asking her to call him.
Heath: Hammer did what! Let's sort out this Casey & Ruby stuff and then we deal with Hammer, he wouldn't be that stupid to harm Charlie
-Down on the beach-Charlie had walked down to the beach, she was still crying and trying to call Ruby desperately "Ruby, please answer. I love you, I need & want you to come home". Charlie hadn't noticed the person walking down behind her while she was pleading to Ruby's voicemail to come home.
Random: What's wrong Charlie? I can help you.
Charlie: Leave me alone!
Random: No let me help you.
Next time: Who is trying to help Charlie on the beach? Where have Casey & Ruby disappeared to?
