Chapter 38

Charlie: Please just leave me alone, you can't help me.
Random: Are you sure about that? We haven't always got along but I'm happy to help.

Charlie hadn't realised that Brax might of came looking for her, and when he did he ran down to her on the beach.

Brax: LEAVE HER ALONE!
Random: I'm going. Charlie think about what I said.

The random person headed off the beach and left Brax and Charlie there and watched from the entenace of the beach to see what was about to happen between to the two.

Brax: What was that about?
Charlie: He wanted me to tell him what was wrong and I just wanted him to go away.
Brax: If he was causing you trouble, you can tell me I'll deal with him.
Charlie: He wasn't, just didn't understand the concept of me not wanting to tell him my problems.
Brax: Do you want to head home?
Charlie: Ok.

Brax helped Charlie up, and kissed her on the forehead before heading home. Charlie wasn't ready to go face Bianca and Heath after the letter Casey and Ruby had left for them. She was too deverstated to deal with anything except getting her little girl back without getting rid of the love of her life.

- Casey & Ruby's hideout -

Casey: We didn't think this through real good. We are almost out of money and food. What do you suppose we do now?
Ruby: We start working? Start our own life and forget about the past.

Casey headed out of the cabin to go for a walk he need to clear his head, wondering whether they had made the right decision. His phone started ringing, it was Heath. Casey wasn't sure whether or not he should answer but due to being out of sight from Ruby he thought it would be best to at least let him know they were safe.

Casey: Heath. Hi.
Heath: Come home Case. Charlie is devastated, Brax doesn't know what to do and Hammer is trying to get Charlie. If you too stay away to long there's a good chance she will end up in his arms because Brax is really trying and he doesn't know how long he can keep it all together.
Casey: I want to come home, and make things right with Charlie, Bianca and yourself. I'm not sure I'm ready to forgive Brax yet but I can't come home Rubes won't come and I can't leave her out here by herself otherwise Charlie will never forgive me.
Heath: Where are you two?
Casey: We headed up the coast, and there was a whole heap of cabins to be rented by this little beach just past the turn off near McDonalds. Not sure what the place is called. I probably shouldn't of told you this.
Heath: Don't tell Rubes. I'll be there later today and you both will be coming home with me whether you agree to it or not.

Casey hung up the phone, annoyed with himself for not keeping to what Ruby and he had agreed to but he missed his bed, and his friends. He just wasn't sure how to change Ruby's mind about going home and about Brax and Charlie. He headed back to the cabin where he was greeted by a over the top Ruby.

Ruby: Casey I love you. We can't ever go home.
Casey: I received a text message from Heath.
Ruby: and?
Casey: Hammer is trying to break up Brax and Charlie to get Charlie for himself. Those flowers delivered were from Hammer not Brax.
Ruby: Charlie wouldn't be stupid enough to go with Hammer, but then yet again maybe she is she keeps running back to Brax.
Casey: She loves you Ruby, how would you be coping if she left you a note and just disappeared?

Ruby headed back inside to their bedroom at the cabin to think about what Casey had just said to her, how could she be so stupid? How could she go back now and face the trouble she has caused? Surely Charlie will be happy once the baby comes and her and Brax can have their own little family without her.

- Back in Summer Bay -

Charlie was laying on her bed crying. "I just want Ruby to come back", in which Brax just nodded his head and comforted his girlfriend. All of a sudden there was a knock on their door. Brax got up and told Charlie he would be back and that he just needed to answer the door. It was Heath.

Heath: I know where Casey and Ruby are, I'm going up there to drag them back. Let Charlie know.

Heath turned around and headed back to his car, and on his way he yelled 'don't follow me, they won't come back if your there'. Heath got into his car and headed off and left a stunned Brax standing there at the front door.

Next time: Does Brax tell Charlie what Heath said? Does Heath manage to make Ruby and Casey come back with him? Who is this random?
