Charlie was terrified. Melissa was… well terrified but she didn't know why. Who was this woman that was forcing them to be quiet?
The woman- did Charlie call her Joey? –decided to go and get us some food.
"But I'll only be upstairs so if I hear one word… you'll be sorry…"
Melissa looked at Charlie.
"Who is she, Charlie?" whispered Melissa.
"My ex-girlfriend."
Charlie explained everything to Melissa. But she conveniently forgot to mention her history with Brax.
"Whoa…"
They were silent for a few moments. Then
"How do you know Brax?"
It was the one question Charlie had hoped wouldn't come up.
"Um… you know that man I mentioned? That was Brax."
Melissa thought about it for a moment.
"Why did you leave him?"
"Because Joey manipulated the situation and made me think only of the bad times. Things were already rocky as I had just miscarried."
Melissa pondered this for a moment.
"Do you still love him?"
It was another question Charlie hoped wouldn't come up. Charlie's silence seemed to answer her question.
Just then Joey came back.
"What you two talking about?"
"None of your business." Said Charlie. Melissa was impressed at her courage. Melissa would never have been able to stand up to her. She was terrified of her.
"Now, now, now that's not very nice." Said Joey menacingly. "You know Charlie you didn't need to involve poor… what's your name?"
"That doesn't matter!" said Charlie quickly. Melissa looked at her confused.
"Well anyway she didn't need to get into this situation. This is all your fault."
"You… bitch! It's not her fault you're a wackjob! You're a psycho!" shrieked Melissa. Joey grew visibly furious at Melissa's words.
"You don't know anything!"
Suddenly Joey grabbed a heavy trophy and hit Melissa in the head with it.
Melissa immediately slumped, blood running down the side her face.
"You monster! We have to get her to a hospital!"
"Not unless you agree to come back with me."
"Fine! Just let me bring her to the hospital!" Charlie didn't know why she was sacrificing her freedom for a woman she didn't even know. All she knew was Brax loved Melissa and she needed help.
They arrived at the hospital ten minutes later after successfully sneaking out of the house.
Joey told Charlie to stay in the car while she brought Melissa in. she locked all the doors and made sure Charlie couldn't escape.
Sid called Brax telling him that Melissa was in hospital. Brax rushed to the hospital.
He arrived just as she was coming round.
"Charlie…"Melissa murmured.
"Melissa…"
"Where's Charlie?" asked Melissa sitting up.
"Um… I haven't seen her since yesterday."
"Oh no! Brax! You have to find her! Joey has her!"
