Joey could feel her heart beating hard in her chest. She stared at Brax and then at Charlie who was staring at Brax. Joey could see the love in her eyes. Love for Brax. But she wasn't going to give up without a fight.
"Charlie c'mon. We've gotta get going if we're going to get to the airport on time."
Charlie looked over at her. Joey could see the tears in her eyes. She knew what was coming.
"Charlie NO! Remember all those things you told me. The reasons your relationship's struggling. Are you just going to forget all them? 'Cause if you do then I won't be here to try and take you away when he breaks your heart! You said it yourself that he's hurt you too much for you to be able to forgive him! Please just get in the car and we can go and forget all about this place. C'mon I love you Charlie."
She was biting her lip. She took a step closer to the car.
"Charlie... c'mon! I promise I will never hurt you again! Just give me another chance." Shouted Brax knowing what Joey was trying to do. Charlie took a step towards Brax.
"Charlie how many chances have you already given him? Does he really deserve another one?"
Charlie made up her mind.
"I'm sorry. I can't do this. Brax I can't trust you."
And with that she hopped into the car with a smug Joey following and they drove off leaving Brax feeling like his heart had splintered into a million pieces.
Brax drove back to Angelo's replaying what had happened over and over in his mind.
How could she have left? It didn't seem real. Brax had seen the difference in the way Charlie looked at him and Joey.
He had seen love in Charlie's eyes. For him.
But for Joey it was just… need.
Need to be loved. To be forgiven. To find normality.
But she had still chosen Joey over Brax.
When he arrived at Angelo's he saw Ruby and Casey who were celebrating something.
When Brax got close enough he heard what it was.
But he couldn't believe it. They weren't old enough surely. Not possible. Brax tried to think of a reasonable reason for it. But could think of nothing.
He could think of no reason for them to be getting married.
