"Your lying." Kyle says to his brother.
"I'm sorry Kyle, but I'm not." Brax looks at his brother "Actually, from what you told us, you were sat outside in your car when Danny died."
"I don't…" Kyle stops mid-sentence as if he is trying to remember what the stranger is telling him.
"When Danny died you were sat outside keeping an eye out for the police and you were going to send him a text, but you didn't get a chance before you heard the gunshot."
"Someone shot him?"
"Yeah mate but it was in self-defence."
"Who?"
"Sorry?"
"Who shot my dad?"
"It was your little brother, Casey."
"Casey?"
"Yep."
"Why did he do it? I know you said it was self-defence but why?"
"According to Casey, Danny had told him to kill the security guard, but Casey refused so Danny went to kill him instead."
"So, Casey shot him for that?" Kyle looks at Brax like he was about to cry.
"Yes. After that Casey was arrested and while he was on bail, I decided to take him camping which is how we all ended up crossing into each other's paths."
Kyle stays silent as he listens to everything Brax tells him. From the kidnapping to how Kyle ended up living with them all in Summer Bay.
(5:02pm) 11 minutes later…
Melbourne – Hospital – Casey's Room
Casey, Heath, Bianca and Ricky were in the middle of a conversation when Tamara appeared in the doorway.
"Hey Tam, thought you would be with Kyle." Bianca stated.
Walking to the end of the bed so that she was in the middle of the room, Tamara spoke: "Brax give me the look."
"The look?" Ricky quizzed.
"You know the look that says, 'I need to tell someone something so think you can leave the room for a bit'."
"Oh, that look."
"Yep, from what I could here when I was stood outside the room for a couple of mins, it sounds like Brax is telling Kyle about your dad." Tamara says as she looks at the two remaining Braxton brothers.
Casey wondered: "How do you think he's going to take it?"
"Well from what I heard; I don't think Kyle believes Brax at all."
"Do you blame him?" Heath says which gets a look from everyone "Think about he doesn't remember Brax and now this guy who is a stranger to him is telling him that his dad is dead."
"Now when you say it like that, I wouldn't believe it either." Tamara replies.
Casey just looks at his hands and starts playing with them.
"Case, are you ok?" Ricky asks the teen.
"I just hope Kyle and me can get along after this major step backwards." Casey tells them all.
Laughing, Tamara looks at her ex-boyfriend: "Are you for real?"
"Sorry?"
"You couldn't care less about Kyle before the accident, now you're worried."
"Watching him nearly die made me look at things differently." Casey says while hoping that's enough to keep Tamara from discovering the real reason why he is being nice.
"Well sorry if I don't believe you for a second." Tamara says as she moves away from the bed "I think I'll go and get something to drink."
Watching her leave, Heath turns to his brother and tells him: "Don't worry Case, she is just trying to protect Kyle. However, if you keep being the way you are, she'll come around eventually."
With that Casey just nods his head and goes back to playing with his hands.
(5:38pm) 36 minutes later…
Melbourne – Hospital – ICU – Kyle's Room
"Are you still with me?" Brax asks his younger after finishing how Kyle ended up in the Bay.
"I think so, I just don't understand why I can't remember any of this?" Kyle says quietly.
"The doctor is trying to figure that out mate so don't worry about it."
"Yeah well it's a bit hard when you have no idea why the only thing you can remember from the past year is your girlfriend who turns out is actually your younger brother's girlfriend."
"No Kyle she isn't. Tamara had a choice and when her memories of how you two met and her relationship with Casey came back, she choose you because she loves you and don't forget that again." Brax laughs at that last part.
"Don't laugh at guy who can't remember anything." Kyle says to his older brother "There's just one thing I don't get."
"What?" Brax asks him.
"Why would she choose me after knowing what happened because I wouldn't have if I was her."
"Because I love you!" Tamara says as she enters the room with two cups of coffee and hands one to Brax.
"I think you got your answer right there." Brax tells him as he gets out the seat to allow Tamara to sit down.
"Besides, what you did wasn't the real you Kyle, you were upset and wanted to hurt the person who killed your dad." Tamara explains too him "The real you, is the most loving and kindest person I know."
"Well that's true the real me wouldn't intentionally hurt someone particularly someone who is meant to be my younger brother." Kyle admitted.
Just then there was a knock on the door. Heath entered the room with Casey who was in a wheelchair.
Brax looks at Heath and says: "What did I say to you?"
"Not to come and see and Kyle but if we are blaming anyone, Casey begged." Heath blabbed loudly.
Hitting himself in the face, Casey responds with: "Thanks a lot Heath."
"No bother Bro." Causing everyone to laugh even Kyle.
"So, how you doing Kyle?" Heath asks him, then noticing the look on his brother's face quickly adds "I'm Heath. This idiot in the wheelchair is the youngest of the four of us, Casey."
As the teen in the wheelchair rolls over to him, Kyle doesn't miss the glare that Tamara gives him: "I'm good I think."
"See, Case I don't know why you were so worried." Heath states which earns him a look from Brax telling him to shut up.
Casey turns from looking at Heath back to Kyle and says: "I'm glad you're ok Kyle as I would have hated myself if I hadn't got the chance to apologise to you for everything I did after finding out about you and Tamara."
"Thanks, but I should be the one apologising to you." Kyle tells him.
"Why?"
"Because I nearly killed you when I took you to the desert from what I gathered from Brax."
"Long behind us mate." Casey smiles and puts out his fist for Kyle to fist bump, which he does.
