Please can you all make sure to read Chapter 30 – Watching Over You. Otherwise you won't understand what this chapter is going on about as it's going to be a follow up. Also read chapter 33 as that is the first part to this chapter.

Idea by Joycechanxo (Fanfiction): You could try and do a spin-off of this and how Kyle discharged himself early, like he does in the soap, but in the story, his condition could get worse and maybe collapses like Phoebe and Nate predicted

I've decided to make this one shot a three part one.


Chapter 34 – Against Advice Can End Badly - Part 2

(3:41pm) 4 hours and 27 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Garden

Brax was sat in the garden washing the BBQ down ready for dinner later that night when Ricky appeared from behind him.

"This place is quiet." Ricky tells him as she sits down in the shade.

Putting down the bucket and cloth, Brax turns and says: "That might have something to do with the fact that everyone but me and Kyle were out."

"So, he stayed then?"

"Yeah, he came out his room for lunch then stomped back there once he was finished." Brax does an impression of Kyle as he joins his girlfriend in the shade "I thought once I was finished this I would go check on him."

"Maybe that's a good idea. Tell you what, I don't mind finishing this off while you go check on your brother." Ricky says as she points at the BBQ.

"Rick, its fine I can finish it."

"I'm not broken Brax. I'm pregnant therefore I can still do stuff, so go check on Kyle."

"Only if you're sure?" Brax replies to her.

"I'm sure now go." Ricky laughs.

With that Brax stands up and goes back into the house.

(3:52pm) 11 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Kyle's Bedroom

After knocking on the door and getting no response Brax decided to go into his brother's room.

There on the bed was Kyle fast asleep with the TV still on. Quietly, Brax grabs the remote off the bed and turns the TV off and places the control on the bedside cabinet.

Walking over to the chair in the room, he grabs the blanket that Phoebe had probably placed there and then walked back to the bed and draped it over his brother.

Making sure he didn't make a noise he exited the bedroom and went back to join his girlfriend.

(4:01pm) 9 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Garden

Hearing Brax walking out the house Ricky asks without looking at him: "Was he ok?"

"He was asleep, so I turned the TV and put a blanket over him and left the room." Brax answers her, grabbing the cloth from her hand.

"Well that's good."

"Eh?"

"Well Phoebe told me yesterday that Nate said Kyle wasn't meant to be discharged till at least next week so he can get some rest and heal at the same time."

"So, the fact he's sleeping is a good sign?"

"Yeah it means at least he's doing something Nate told him to do." Ricky jokes causing them both to laugh.

"Very true." Brax concurred then went back to finishing up the BBQ.

(6:17pm) 2 hours and 16 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Kyle's Bedroom

When Phoebe got home from work, she was surprised to not find Kyle in the garden with everyone else.

So, when Brax told her the last time he had checked on Kyle, he was asleep Phoebe thought it was a good thing.

Which is why she is now having to be quiet while she gets changed out of her work clothes into something more her. While she was putting here work stuff back in the wardrobe, she heard a cough coming from the bed and quickly whipped her head round.

"Hey sleepy head." She greets her boyfriend as she walks over to the bed.

Sitting up, Kyle grabs the glass from the bedside cabinet and takes a quick drink.

Putting it back down, Kyle who was a bit more awake inquired: "What time is it?"

"Nearly half 6. According to Brax, you've slept the afternoon away. Not like I'm going to complain as it means you're getting some rest."

"Following doctor's order like I was told to do but in the comfort of my of bed."

"Whatever you say. Dinner's nearly ready anyway, so I'm happy I don't have to wake you up myself."

"What we having like?"

"Well Brax cleaned the BBQ. So, I'm assuming that we have that for dinner." Phoebe informs him.

"Cool." Is all Kyle says, then goes on to ask "How did the blanket end up over me when it was on the chair?"

Phoebe just laughs and stands up with Kyle copying her as she left the room.

(6:56pm) 39 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Garden

Andy and Josh had joined the group of people in the garden ten minutes ago, so now they were all sitting eating dinner while talking about their days.

"How you feeling Kyle?" Josh asks the older man as he puts the tomato sauce back on the table.

Putting down his burger, Kyle responds to him: "I'm fine thanks for asking Josh. What about your head?"

Rubbing his head, Josh goes on to say: "It's fine, much better now that Evie has kissed it better."

This earned the teen a slap from his older brother, Andy then follows the slap with: "No one wants to hear that Josh!"

With that everyone laughs but the laughing stops when Kyle starts to cough.

Looking at his brother, Brax says worriedly: "Hey mate, are you ok?"

"Yes Brax, for the 4000th time I'm fine." Kyle sighs then takes a quick sip of his beer "It's just a cough. Probably from the fact I had a tube forced down my throat."

"A tube that allowed you to breathe." Phoebe reminds him "Do you think it's a good idea to be drinking beer?"

Suddenly Kyle slams the bottle back on the table and stands up: "I'M FINE FOR GOD SAKE!"

"Ok I'm just making sure Kyle." A shocked Phoebe says to her boyfriend.

Heading towards the gate, Kyle turns around and says: "Well I'm sick of it! Now I'm going to head to the Diner for something to eat in peace."

They all watch as Kyle leaves the garden.

"Should we go after him?" Ricky quizzes Phoebe.

Shaking her head: "No."

"Why not?" they all ask.

"Because when Kyle gets like this, it's best to just leave him be, trust me." Phoebe says as she goes back to her food.

(10:11pm) 3 hours and 15 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Living Room

Kyle had eventually returned home about 15 minutes earlier and was currently sat in the living room watching TV as he didn't fancy going to bed yet until he was sure Phoebe was completely asleep.

Coughing, Kyle thinks to himself.

This cough is driving me insane. Actually, both the cough and everyone asking if I'm ok is driving me insane. What don't they understand about the fact I'm fine? I know that what happened scared them and they're just making sure I don't end up getting hurt even more but it's annoying.

Coughing again, Kyle headed into the kitchen and grabs a glass of water then returns to the sofa.

All this coughing is making my chest hurt. Oh well I'm sure it will get better after all it was only 4 days ago, I had tube breathing for me so hopefully this cough is down to that.

With that Kyle goes back to watching the film he had put on, half-way through it he falls asleep on the sofa.

(7:23am) Next day…

Kyle was still asleep on the sofa when Andy entered the living room to grab some breakfast from the kitchen, before he headed off to work at the Gym.

While he was sat at the table, Brax and Ricky enter the main house talking away when Andy says: "Shhh."

Noticing Andy was pointing to the sofa, Brax sighs and asks: "How long has he been there?"

"I think all night. I heard him get back at about five to ten last night, I figured he just wanted to watch some TV before going to bed and having to deal with Pheebs. But I guess he must have fell asleep there as the TV was still on when I woke up."

"Do you think we should wake him, Brax?" Ricky says looking at the man she views as a brother.

"Nah, just leave him." Brax says as he puts the kettle on "He obviously needs the sleep."

Ricky was about to move away from the sofa when she hears a strange noise coming from Kyle. She moves closer to him and put her ear to his face.

Looking up from his bowl, Andy asks: "What on earth are you doing?"

Standing up straight, Ricky commented: "He's wheezing."

Brax stops what he is doing and moves back over to the sofa and listens for himself.

"Your right." Brax tells her.

With that Brax nudges Kyle in hopes of waking him up, which works.

"Wh what?" Kyle wheezes.

"Mate, you don't sound to good." Brax says to his little brother clearly worried about how he sounds.

"I I'm f fin fine."

"No you aren't."

"YES I AM!" Kyle shouts.

"Alright mate calm down." Brax says as he tries to calm Kyle down.

"I'm going for a shower." Kyle throws before making his way from the living room and bumping into Phoebe.

"What's going on?" Phoebe asks as she pushes her boyfriend back into the main area of the house.

"NOTHING!"

"Kyle, stop shouting." Ricky says to the young man.

"Why?" Kyle says without out shouting this time.

"Because Josh is still asleep you idiot." Andy reminds Kyle.

After not getting the response she wanted, Phoebe spoke up: "Can someone tell me what is going on?"

"According to Kyle he's fine. However, both me and Brax could hear him wheezing before Brax woke him up." Ricky explains to Phoebe.

"I was not wheezing."

"How do you know? You were asleep." Brax mentions to his brother.

"I've said I'm fine so leave it. Now as I said I'm going to go have a shower." Kyle says and manages to actually leave the room this time.

Watching her boyfriend leave the room, Phoebe turns back to face the rest of the room's occupants: "Wheezing?"

"Yep and he stuttered his words when he woke up."

"I have to do something with Denny today so will anyone be able to keep an eye on him?"

"Me and Brax can." Ricky says volunteering herself and her boyfriend.

"Good, just make sure you check on him." Phoebe says as she goes to check on her boyfriend.

(1:32pm) 6 hours and 9 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Kyle's Bedroom

Kyle was in his he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." Kyle responded.

The door opened and Brax popped his head through the gap: "Me and Ricky need to pop to the station for my bail check-in, so we won't be too long."

"Whatever." Kyle waved his hand his brother as a way of goodbye.

Brax doesn't say anything instead he just closes the door and leaves the house.

Hearing the front door slam shut, Kyle breathes a sigh of relive.

Thank god, they've left now I can be left in peace. My chest still hurts as well, maybe I shou…

Kyle stops thinking to himself when he suddenly breaks out into a coughing fit. Realising he doesn't have a glass of water he gets off his bed and go in search of a drink.

(1:40pm) 8 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Kitchen

Kyle stumbles his way into the kitchen while still coughing. Walking over to the shelf he takes down a glass and proceeds to fill it.

After taking a drink his cough still doesn't let up and he remembers that there was some cough medicine in the bathroom, so he go off to get some.

(1:51pm) 11 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Bathroom

Once in the bathroom Kyle he opened the medicine cabinet and locates the cough syrup. Taking the recommended dosage, he places the bottle back in the cabinet then heads back to his room.

(1:58pm) 7 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Kyle's Bedroom

Kyle was still coughing when he walked back into his room.

I swear this cough is just annoying me now!

Kyle walks over to his desk as he decides to do some work on the laptop but notices it wasn't there. Turning around while rubbing his chest which over the last ten minutes was starting to feel tighter, he spots the bag which had the laptop in when he came home.

Walking towards the bag, Kyle break out into another coughing fit but this time it feels different to him. Suddenly his legs give out from under him and he finds himself on the floor.

Pulling himself into a sitting position, Kyle leans his head back so it's resting on the bed. As he continues to cough, he can hear a rattling sound coming from somewhere within him just before his eyes start to close, Kyle thinks to himself.

Why didn't I listen to Nate?

Then the world turns black and Kyle slumps sideways so his whole body is lying on the floor…
