"We have been waiting for hours, how long does it take?" Casey complains.
"Surgery usually takes a while mate, don't worry" Brax assures him.
It's like the doctor heard Case, because she walk overs to us. We all stand up and wait to hear what she says.
"She's okay, she's going into recovery now where you can see her" she smiles.
"Thanks doc" I sigh grateful and we all follow her into Bill's room.
She is asleep on the bed, she looks really small and tiny. I pull up a chair and sit next to her, Casey pulls on up next to me and Brax sits on the other side. I grab her hand and her eyes slowly open.
"Hey" she croaks weakly.
"Hey" I chuckle.
"Did, did you get hurt? Case?" she asks turning her head to look at Casey.
"No we're both fine, so is Brax" I assure her.
Everything is quiet, we all just look at her worried.
"Was Lewis there?" she asks quietly.
"Yeah he was" Case responds.
I glare at him, he shouldn't have told her.
"Did he know that Hammer was hurting me?" she asks.
I nod my head quietly, then I watch a tear drop down her cheek, she sighs.
"Can I get some sleep? Im a bit tired" she asks.
"Yeah of course, we'll go sort some things out with the hospital and see when you can go home" Brax says.
I nod and we all hop up to leave the room. I lean down and kiss Billies forehead.
"I love you too" I smile, then join the boys outside.
"Mangroves merging with Summer Bay on Tuesday, I talked to the doc she said Bill can be let out Monday" Brax explains.
"Okay, so we will leave to Summer Bay on Tuesday?" I question.
"Yeah" Brax nods, "I got the restaurant all sorted, I got the job"
"Are you sure we will do good there? I men's it's going to be different" Casey notes.
"We will be fine, we have to move, there are too many bad things here that Bill needs to stay away from and so do all of us" Brax states.
"I agree" I add.
Brax nods thanking me, we both turn to Casey and he nods his head agreeing to go. Brax and Case go home to start packing, I offered to stay here with Billie. I have a coffee and grab some food, then I head back to her room and sit down next to her. She opens her eyes and looks at me.
"Go back to sleep Bill" I say quietly.
"I can't sleep" she admits, "Have you texted Nic? To tell him what happened?" she asks.
"Yeah I texted him when I got my lunch, I told him not to come till tommorow though, cause you needed some rest" I explain.
She nods.
"Heath...are there good waves at Summer Bay?" she asks.
I chuckle and nod my head.
"Yeah, I went there once for a comp, the waves there are better than the ones here" I note.
"Why does Hammer hate you boys so much? Why does he do this, why does he cause trouble?" she asks confused.
I know Brax should be here, hell so should Case, but I'm just going to tell her.
"Three reasons, one: Danny put Hammers father in a coma, two: Brax got Hammers brother put in jail and three: when he wanted to join the river boys we said no. But also cause of the small things we've done live how I once trashed his house, Casey bashed his car in and Brax just always wins in a fight against him" I explain.
She looks at me, sinking in all the information. She grabs my hand and squeezes it tightly.
"Thank you for not leaving me" she smiles.
"Billie, I would never leave you" I promise her strongly.
"I know, you're my brother" she chuckles.
"You're my sister" I grin.
I then explain to her how we are moving to Summer Bay in Tuesday and how she will go with her school on the bus. She nods her head agreeing and then I turn on the TV and we watch some surfing.
Billie POV
It's Monday and I can finally be let out, I feel absolutely fine now, my stomach doesn't hurt from the surgery and my black eye is slowly going away but the split lip looks like it's going to be here for a while. I get change into my bathroom then walk back out into my room with all the boys.
"Let's go home" I smile.
They all nod and we leave the hospital, walking outside to the car and Brax starts to drive home. I look out the window and look at the beach.
"We have to go for a surf later on, before we leave" I insist.
"Yeah of course, first you've gotta pack, because we all have its just you now" Brax instructs.
"Alright, that will be quick" I nod.
After I pack, we all head out for a surf, we walk down and all of us swim out into the water, then we sit on our boards and look at the waves, our feet dangling in the water.
"I might miss Mangrove River...I mean, it was were I've lived for fifteen years" I admit.
"Yeah, I might miss it too Bill" Casey adds, then so do Brax and Heath.
"So let's make this last surf a good one" Brax states and swims off, each of us following after him.
