Chapter 37

Ruby's Point of view

I got home from school only to find Charlie in her room, lying on her bed. "What's up?" I asked, lying next to her only to find that she was crying.

"Brax and I are over" She mumbled, wiping away her tears.

"Aww Charlie, what happened?" I asked her.

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that I got attached and never again will I do that" She replied strongly.

"Well how about we order in some food, eat ice cream and watch all the girly movies we can find" I smiled, hugging her tightly. I heard her chuckle before we broke away and headed out to the living room only to find Bianca kissing Heath. They soon seen us before Heath left and Bianca looked closer at Charlie.

"Charlie…talk now" Bianca hugged her tightly. I left the best friends to talk while I went down to Angelo's to have a word to Brax.

"Hey Rubes, what can I help you with?" He asked with a smile as I stormed in.

"You can help by telling me why I came home to find my sister crying in her bedroom?" I asked sarcastically. Brax ground his teeth awkwardly.

"I think you need to talk to Charlie about that" He turned away.

"Well she's not saying anything so why don't you tell me" I said angrily.

"I cant…"

"My sister…!"

"Your sister" He laughed before looking at me.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked confused.

"Nothing. Your sister and I were never going to work…we both should have realised that from the start" He shook his head.

"SHE LOVED YOU! She may have not told me that but I could tell! I had never seen her so happy, even before Dad got sick. She trusted you…and Charlie doesn't trust just anyone. So what ever you did…you need to fix it!" I yelled at him before storming out.

Charlie's point of view

"Is this about the crop fire?" Bianca asked as soon as Ruby had left.

"You knew about that?" I asked shocked.

"Yeah Heath told me straight away, he said he didn't want to lie to me and he did it so he could start a new life with the baby and I" Bianca nodded.

"Well I'm glad you have that type of relationship…apparently Brax thought it was alright to lie to me about it. I told him I loved him this morning and then we started fighting and he basically told me that I complicated the relationship up even more because I told him that" I confided in Bianca.

"Aww Charlie" She hugged me.

"It wasn't meant to be…we both knew that" I tried not to cry. Bianca looked at me sceptically. "I got caught up in it, I got attached, I trusted to easily and I was ready to commit and he obviously wasn't" I let out.

"Charlie…Brax is a guy, he doesn't know how to express his feelings" She chuckled, hugging me again. "Now, ice cream and movies when Ruby and April get home" She smiled before we walked into the kitchen. Soon enough both the girls we home and we had started our girly binge and headed late into the night when a knock was heard on the door. Bianca got up and answered it only to find Brax standing there. "I think its for you" She looked at me.

"Can we talk?" He asked. What was I meant to say? 'No, piss off, I never want to talk to you again'? I walked over to him and out onto the front porch before closing the front door behind me.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked, bluntly. He just stood there silently, looking at anywhere but me.

"I'm sorry about what happened today ay" He nodded.

"Yep" I nodded, not believing a single word, coming from his mouth.

"Come on Charlie…don't be like that" He sook his head at me.

"This is what I don't understand Brax…Heath, was able to tell Bianca straight away about what happened, but you had to lie to me about it" I shook my head.

"You still going to try lower the charges on Heath?" He asked suddenly.

"Oh wow…is that why you wanted to talk to me?! To see that I was still getting your brother out of trouble! Well I already did get the charges lowered to a fine and I did that because my best friend is having your brother's baby and not because we were fucking!" I shouted at him.

"Is that what we we're doing…we were fucking? So you didn't love me?" He smirked.

"Of course I love you Brax!" I spat back. He nodded his head. "Just go Brax, you obviously only came here to start shit, so just leave, please." I turned to walk inside.

"I'm not good with all this shit…feelings and words. I just can't express how I feel sometimes. I know that's not what you want to hear but I'm sorry" I heard. I turned and looked at him.

"You're right, that's not what I want to hear. What I want to hear is your footsteps walking away" I tried not to cry before walking inside.
