Aaliyah waited where she had arranged to meet Lexi, she was nervous. Brax and Heath stood out of sight in the trees. Bianca and Casey were parked in the car further along down the road. Aaliyah checked her phone again before looking up and seeing what she was waiting for. Lexi pulled up in a black Mini Cooper, Aaliyah watched as she got out of the car and headed towards her. Aaliyah handed Lexi the bag.

"This doesn't feel like all of it" Lexi spat angrily.

"It's as much as your getting, half of it" Aaliyah replied as she tried to see if Riley was ok.

"Nah, that's not what we agreed" Lexi spat angrily.

"The rest of it is tied up in mum's company" Aaliyah informed her now infuriated sister.

"I said I wanted all of it, he is expecting all of it?" Lexi screeched, Aaliyah noticed her sister's tone had gone from angry to terrified.

"Who is?" Aaliyah questioned curiously

"It's all your fault, none of this would have happened. He loved me until you came along" Lexi wasn't making any sense.

"Who?" Aaliyah worried.

"He changed when he found out about the money, he treated me like royalty while Gran was still alive but you had to ruin it didn't you" Lexi ranted

"Lexi I…" Aaliyah tried

"You killed her Aaliyah, when you killed her and freed her money everything changed. It was all he cared about" The penny had finally dropped. Lexi was talking about Dylan; he must have known about the inheritance and was keeping Lexi sweet so when their Gran died he would be able to get his hands on the money.

"You mean Dylan?" Aaliyah questioned finally after her brain had processed all the information she had just been given.

"No, dad" Lexi announced causing Aaliyah's jaw to drop. She didn't see that coming, but when she thought about it all made sense.

Brax and Heath had forgotten the fact they were meant to be keeping out of sight the minute they heard Lexi say the words 'you killed her'.

"I want my son" Aaliyah demanded, Lexi shook her head "He wants to see you first get in the car" Aaliyah remembered Brax's warning "Get in the fucking car Ali, if you want to see you precious son again" Lexi spat. Aaliyah followed her quickly towards the car and got into the passengers side.

Aaliyah reached into the back seat and grabbed Riley's hand "Are you ok baby" she mouthed silently. Riley nodded quickly

"What's she doing, I told her not to get in the car" Brax exclaimed as he stepped a little more into view.

Lexi saw him "I told you to come alone" she snapped, before revving up the engine and speeding off.

"Shit" Brax yelled as he and Heath ran back to his Ute. They got in and Brax sped off after them.

"What's going on?" Bianca exclaimed.

"She saw us" Heath explained, Brax threw him a look before finally catching up with the Mini.

"Why did you get them involved Ali, I told you to come alone" Lexi yelled as she looked in her rear view window.

"I'm sorry, please Lexi slow down. I brought you the money" Aaliyah begged as she gripped her sons hand tightly.

"Brax be careful, you could run them off the road" Casey was worried for his girlfriend.

"What's she doing?" Brax wondered as he watched Lexi veer off the main road and onto a track, he quickly turned and followed the car in front.

"This road heads straight into the lake, Brax slow down" Heath interrupted as he watch the car in front. Brax saw the lake and slammed on the breaks.

Bianca, Heath, Casey and Brax watched in horror as the Mini drove straight into the lake, before finally disappearing under water. "ALI" Casey cried. The four of them quickly undid their seat belts and rushed to the waters edge. None of them could see anything; Casey rushed towards the water "No Casey" Bianca yelled as she stopped him from jumping in. Heath had already removed his jacket, he jumped straight in he was quickly followed by Brax. Casey tried again but he was stopped by Bianca for the second time.

Aaliyah had managed to get out of her seat belt. She reached through the back to Riley, and tried to undo his seat belt. It was stuck.

Aaliyah pushed the car door open and swam out of it, she opened Riley's door and tried to drag him out. Aaliyah felt a hand on her waist as she looked round she managed to make out Brax. Brax realised what she was trying to do, he signalled for her to go up and get some air. Aaliyah swam to the surface reluctantly, she had no choice she needed air.

Bianca and Casey watched frantically, Heath came up choking followed quickly by Aaliyah. "Oh thank god" Bianca screeched before watching Heath and her friend disappear back under water. This time Aaliyah led Heath to Riley and Brax. Brax was still struggling to free Riley. As Aaliyah tried to help she noticed Lexi was still stuck in the car.

Suddenly Brax and Heath managed to free Riley, Aaliyah followed them back to the surface. As she came to the top she saw Brax and Heath dragging out Riley, he was choking but alive. Casey ran to help Aaliyah out "Ali, come on" he yelled. Aaliyah looked behind her, she saw Lexi hadn't resurfaced. Casey realised instantly what she was thinking "No, leave her" he begged.

"She's still my sister" Aaliyah said quickly before disappearing back underneath the water.

"ALI" Casey yelled. Brax and Heath rushed to his side, all three of them watched desperately waiting for the women to come back up. Bianca sat with a blanket wrapped around Riley. She had decided they needed help, so she used her phone to call the police while the boy's were distracted.

A few moments passed and there was still no sign of the women, Brax had his hand firmly on Casey's arm, he knew as soon as he let go Casey would be in the lake after Aaliyah. He hadn't however anticipated Heath's reaction; Brax still didn't know Heath was also in love with this woman. Heath jumped back into the lake and disappeared into the depths. It happened to quickly for Brax to be able to stop him.

As Aaliyah got back to the car she swam round to the driver's door, she couldn't see Lexi through the window. She searched around before feeling a tugging at her hair. She was shocked to see Lexi behind her. She assumed Lexi would be unconscious by now but obviously Lexi had come up for air somewhere out of site. Lexi dug her nails into the back of Aaliyah's neck and tried to drag her down. Aaliyah struggled free and turned to face Lexi. Lexi grabbed Aaliyah's throat and squeezed, Aaliyah frantically tried to wriggle out of Lexi's grip. It was no use, Aaliyah was starting to fail. She couldn't breathe and felt her eyes closing.

Suddenly Lexi was stopped in her tracks by punch in the side of the head, which knocked her out instantly. Heath reached forward and grabbed Aaliyah's lifeless form before dragging her up to the surface. Brax and Casey met him at the edge and helped him drag Aaliyah and himself out. Brax pulled Aaliyah onto the ground and started CPR. Bianca was standing by this point; she had seen the police arrive "They're over there" She yelled as she pointed them in the right direction, before quickly wrapping her arms around Riley again. The ambulance had also arrived; the paramedics took over from Brax.

Heath, Brax and Casey were stood over them.

Charlie rushed instinctively to Brax's side "What the hell happened?" She exclaimed as she fought the urge to hug him. Brax didn't reply, he had noticed the way both his brother's were looking at this woman. It was then it dawned on him both of his brothers were in love with Aaliyah Henderson.

"Come on baby breathe" Casey pleaded; Heath threw a confused look at Casey. Why the hell was Casey calling Aaliyah baby? Brax also picked up on Casey's outburst. Shit he thought to himself.

Aaliyah suddenly choked up all the water. Heath and Casey both sighed a sigh of relief…
