Sorry it's taken a while to update I have had some computer issues but hopefully I have fixed them now.
Aaliyah waited anxiously for her results, she was certain at times like this people paused, just for effect. "Am I pregnant or not?" Aaliyah interrupted. Sid looked a little shocked at Aaliyah's remark "Er…no the test was negative" Sid confirmed.
Aaliyah wasn't sure if she was happy with the result of disappointed. The one thing she was sure about was how much she loved Casey. Aaliyah quickly grabbed her bag and rushed out of the little side room. As she walked into the corridor she almost bumped into Charlie. "Oh my god Charlie, I'm so sorry" Aaliyah exclaimed. Charlie smiled "It's fine really" Charlie answered politely. She looked confused "Is everything ok?" Charlie asked when she realised Aaliyah had been to see a doctor.
"Yeh, fine" Aaliyah lied "I just fainted at work. Apparently its just stress" Aaliyah continued. Before either of them had chance to say anything else, they were interrupted by a familiar voice "Hey, is that Ali?" Brax yelled from his hospital bed. Charlie smiled and dragged Aaliyah into his room.
"Hey, you" Brax grinned, as he pulled himself up the bed. "Hey" Aaliyah replied shyly. Although she had spoke to Brax a million times before. She still felt responsible for his injuries. "I just bumped into Aaliyah, in the corridor, she has been to see Sid" Charlie interrupted trying to break the silence.
"Oh yeah, how come?" Brax questioned curiously. Aaliyah looked up at him before answering. "I passed out at school, so Gina made me come for a check up" she explained.
"Its stress related apparently" Charlie added as she sat on the edge of Brax's bed.
"Can't say I'm surprised, you've been through a lot lately" Brax said looking straight at Aaliyah. This made her feel uncomfortable. She had been trying to avoid eye contact with him. "It's not your fault you know" he added softly. Aaliyah smiled "I know, but I can't help feeling a little bit responsible" Aaliyah replied, as she started to relax a little. "Hey, if it wasn't Johnny it would have been someone else" Charlie quickly added.
"Yeah, because I am number one on everyone's hit list" Brax teased. Aaliyah laughed at Brax's sarcasm.
Suddenly all three of them were interrupted by a gentle knock at the door.
"Hey Casey" Charlie smiled as she quickly stood up from the bed. Aaliyah smiled to herself, she couldn't help thinking how alike Charlie and Brax's relationship was to her's and Casey's. Very secretive, and just as forbidden.
"Are you felling better now Ali?" Casey asked, interrupting her trail of thoughts. Aaliyah nodded quickly "Yes thanks" she replied awkwardly. "I'd better go" she added quickly making her way to the door. As she walked into the corridor she was stopped in her tracks by a hand on her arm. "Aaliyah wait" the voice said. As Aaliyah turned around she saw it was Casey.
"Can we talk?" Casey asked softly. Aaliyah nodded "Yeah, but not here" she exclaimed.
"Where then?" Aaliyah could sense the eagerness in Casey's voice. Aaliyah thought for a moment before replying "At the house, in half an hour" she said before hurrying off.

As Aaliyah pulled up outside the Braxton's house she noticed a couple of important looking workmen stood in the drive way of her house. She quickly locked her car and approached them "Can I help you?" She asked curiously. Aaliyah couldn't help noticing how big both the men were, they almost resembled bailiffs.
"Mrs Cooper" The taller one of the two enquired. Aaliyah nodded cautiously.
"Hi, I'm Mark and this is Jamie, we are the site managers" Mark said introducing himself. Aaliyah sighed a breath of relief; she was half expecting to be told she was being repossessed. "Hello" Aaliyah replied, shaking the hands of the men.
"Is there a problem" Aaliyah asked curiously. Mark shook his head. "No, not at all, everything is going smoothly actually, we just came to tell you we should be finished in 2 weeks" Jamie smiled. Aaliyah was almost jumping up and down with excitement. She forgot herself for a moment as she threw her arms around Jamie's neck.
Jamie laughed before backing away. Aaliyah blushed a little; she couldn't believe she had lost control of herself like that. "That's fantastic, thank you so much" She exclaimed. Before the men had chance to reply they were interrupted by a voice, as Aaliyah looked round she saw Casey walking up the drive way.
"Everything Alright" Casey asked as he watched the two men walk away. Aaliyah nodded "Yeh, its fine the house should be finished in the next two weeks" Aaliyah grinned excitedly. Casey quickly grabbed hold of Aaliyah's hand and dragged her inside the Braxton's house. Aaliyah let out a squeal "Casey" she giggled as he pulled her into the lounge. "Do you love me?" he asked her bluntly. Aaliyah frowned "You know I do" she replied looking up into his eyes.
"Look, I know the last few days have been crap, and we've both done stupid stuff. But seeing you collapse like that made me realise, how much I care about you" Casey said, as he cupped Aaliyah's face in his hands. Aaliyah put her hands on top of Casey's "It's just me and you now…stuff everyone else" he said finally before pulling her towards him and kissing her passionately. Aaliyah moved her hands off Casey's and slid them around his waist. She grabbed his t-shirt and pulled him closer to her, before pulling away gently "Stuff everyone else" Aaliyah repeated as she took Casey by the hand and lead him to her bedroom.
