Indi was totally exhausted after a double shift at the Pier Diner where she worked. But in the end it was totally worth it, she has money in the bank and that was all that mattered.
"Indi I'm so sorry but can you stay a bit longer, Ruby called she sounded strange. I'm going to see what's wrong." Leah said rushing into the kitchen. Indi although she hates Ruby for many reasons agreed to stay and help Marilyn- the fun, chirpy Summer Bay resident. Leah picked up her bag and said, "Thank-you so much. I'll pay you a bit extra." "Oh Leah you don't have to." "It's ok, see ya." Leah said walking out of the room leaving Indi and Marilyn alone.
After cleaning tables ten and five and closing the kitchen at 8:30 the workload was minimal so Indi and Marilyn sat down at a table and had a coffee and an herbal tea for Marilyn. It was pretty quiet, to quiet for Indi. "What do you think it wrong with Ruby? It could be pregnancy hormones right?" Indi asked. Marilyn looked up from her cup of tea and said "Oh my darling Indi haven't you heard Ruby lost the baby. She had a miscarriage." Indi almost chocked on her coffee.
"What?" Indi said not believing what Marilyn had just said. Indi looked at the table before saying, "Do they know why? Is she ok? Is Romeo ok?" "I don't think they went to the hospital afterwards you know but we'll find out about Ruby and Romeo now." Marilyn said pointing as Leah walked back through the diner door. "Leah!" Marilyn called. Leah spotted them and smiled as she walked over. "How was Ruby what was wrong?" Marilyn asked obviously curiously. "She's ok I guess. Romeo packed up his bags and left her." "Why would he just leave her? Just because she had a miscarriage doesn't mean he should leave her. They are going through the same thing." Marilyn stated judging Romeo which was making Indi furious. "I'm sure there is an explanation for his behaviour. I mean he wouldn't just leave her unless something else had happened, right?" Indi said defending her ex-husband. "Where is he?" Indi asked Leah. "He's at Angelo's apparently trying to drink away his sorrows. "I need to speak to him. Find out what's going on. Since you're back now, can I go please?" Indi asked. "Sure, Indi and thanks so much." Indi said smiling watching as Indi hung up her pink and blue apron, grabbed her handbag and heading out the door.
Upon arriving at Angelo's Indi knew Romeo was here. She could hear his drunken voice asking Mr Darryl Braxton or Brax as he liked to be called, the owner of Angelo's, lots of silly questions about what would go better with beer or something like that. Indi couldn't tell he was just so drunk! Indi walked down to him and sat down on the stool next to him. "You know drinking won't help you get over the miscarriage." Indi said as Romeo drank another mouthful of his drink of some kind of alcohol. He put down his glass before staring into it. After a minute he looked up at Indi. "It was a lie. Ruby didn't miscarry. She was never pregnant. The whole thing, a lie." Indi was shocked. First ruby take Indi away and make him fall for her then she says she pregnant and now she has lied not only about being pregnant but having a miscarriage. Lie upon lie upon lie. How could Ruby have done that to him? Brax turned around from putting the clean glasses in the cupboard and said, "That doesn't sound like something Ruby would do." Romeo looked away from Indi and straight to Brax. "Brax I know it doesn't sound like something she would do but she did it. She lied now give me another drink and Indi you don't need to be here." "Romeo, actually I do." "Brax, one more drink please." Romeo asks childishly. "A coffee." Brax says before he walks away to the coffee machine and makes Romeo a coffee. After Romeo had finished drinking his coffee he was slightly behaving less drunk. "Romeo do you want me to take you home or anything?" "He thinks about it for a moment before reaching down for his bags. Once he has them in his hands he gets off the bar stool and says, "Indi take me home not to Ruby's please the farmhouse your house. Can I crash the night?" Indi has no choice but to say yes she grabs his bags off him and helps him to walk out of Angelo's and to Indi's silver car.
After a quiet one hour drive home they reach Indi's house and she helps him to get to the couch where he would spend the night. She takes off his shoes and goes to get him a blanket. Well she's out of the room he'd out like a light. Indi returns to the room with a blue blanket. She covers him with it before getting a glass of water, turning off the light and going to sleep herself.
