Please review!
Fear gripped Brax.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Joey… she kidnapped me… and Charlie and now she has Charlie."
"Melissa you got hit on the head. You don't know what you're talking about." Said Brax.
"I'm not wrong! I know what happened! You need to help Charlie!"
Brax was about to protest when his phone started ringing. Going outside he answered it.
"Hello."
"Brax! Have you seen Charlie?"
"Leah? No, I haven't. Why?"
"'Cause she's missing!"
Brax hung up and headed into the hospital.
"Melissa did Joey say where she was taking Charlie?"
"No."
"Any idea?"
"Well Charlie mentioned something about near the sea but also near Summer Bay."
Brax suddenly knew where to look.
He said goodbye and drove to the spot he was nearly positive she was hidden.
He spent the whole way thinking about Charlie and Melissa. He loved Melissa. But he loved Charlie more. But Charlie had hurt him so much he didn't know if he could go back to that.
The journey took just over an hour.
He raced up to the house. He knew this house as it was at the address that Charlie had left Leah in case she needed to contact her. He had come here a few times but had never got any closer than driving by. A few times he had passed he could have sworn he heard shouting.
He quickly walked up to the front door. There was no car in the drive.
He didn't knock. He just crept quietly into the house.
He walked around slowly. He couldn't hear anything. Suddenly there was a crash from the room at the end of the hall. Racing down the hall fear gripped Brax. He swung the door open.
There was Charlie.
She was barely conscious. There was blood running down her arm and face.
Brax quickly called an ambulance and the police.
They arrived and took Charlie to the hospital.
She was later transferred to Summer Bay Hospital as it was the most equipped to care for her.
Slowly, day by day she got better.
Ruby came to visit her mum every day. She could see she was worried. Probably about Joey who was on the run.
One day Casey came to visit Charlie. Ruby wasn't there.
He came because… well he didn't know why. Part of him wanted to make sure she was OK. Even though really she was the reason him and Ruby split he still admired her. She was strong willed but still had a soft side. But he had to admit part of him wanted to see Ruby. He missed her so much but he couldn't bear the thought of being with her after her and Heath.
He was just leaving when Ruby arrived.
"Casey!"
"Ruby…"
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I came to see Charlie."
She was disappointed. Casey saw it. But he couldn't admit he had come hoping to see her.
"You know I dumped Heath. He wasn't too happy but…"
Casey just nodded. The truth was his heart was soaring.
"Why?"
"Because I don't love him. I love you Casey and I always will. I know you probably never want to see me again but I just thought you needed to know."
Casey turned to leave.
"I am so sorry. You know that, right?"
He nodded.
Next Time
Joey holds Ruby hostage. Will Casey save her?
Melissa reveals a secret to Charlie. What is it? And how will effect Charlie and Brax?
The end is near! Thanks for reading and please review!
