Hello all my wonderful readers! I would just like to take this chance to answer a few questions I have gotten. Firstly for those who have lost track of how many weeks pregnant Charlie is, well as of this chapter she is 8 months. So Miss Braxton will be introduced in the next few chapters. I know all you are loving Bella and Cooper but I am going down the path of Bella being apprehensive about him because of what has happened to her in the past with her attack and other alleys which will be explored – I am sure that you will not know her next secret that will be revealed which will help you see more into the apprehension of a relationship and will hopefully give you more clues about this secret code between Heath and Bella (that is what I am planning at the moment, but I might change that). If the last part just confused you I should let you know that I am not your conventional writer I get an idea and since I want to act I act it out in my head as if it were real and then I might dream a different idea and act that one out to see where it goes. So bear with me Alrighty then on with the chapter. Enjoy and review please. Dannielle x

BRAX POV
Heath and I were walking down the beach to go for a surf, we had our surfboards under our arms and were discussing the same thing we had been discussing all morning… Bella and her new guy. "so who is this guy?" Heath asked "I don't know, Charlie said they met when she went shopping with Rubes for decorations and she ran into him last night at the video store" I replied looking around to see if I could spot the girls. I caught sight of the girls lying on their beach towels down below, we made our way over to them and stood blocking their sunlight. "oi can't you see that we are using that sun, move it moron" Bella said before opening her eyes and looking directly at us "oh hey guys" she said as her and Ruby sat up, "you two coming out?" Heath asked "yeah waves look good? What about you Rubes?" Bella asked lifting her hand for a help up. Heath obliged pulling her up in one swift movement "yeah I'm in" Ruby replied as I pulled her up. They grabbed their boards and followed us into the water.
We had been surfing for about 20 minutes and I was sitting on my board waiting for my next wave. I watched Bella surf, boy was she good. If it was one thing that the Braxton's could do it was surf. Heath and I had taught Bella and Casey when they were only 5, I remember seeing a whole different side to Heath as he helped Bella surf, to stand up on her board. The look on his face when she rode her first waves. I couldn't believe what happened next, I noticed Ruby had pointed to the shore I watched as it all unfolded painfully as if it were in slow motion. Heath had noticed to, we looked to the land and saw four people walking down the beach watching us, Bella looked quickly but that was all it took a wave hit her wrong and she was knocked off her board, she hit the water hard. We called out to her and waited for her to resurface, nothing. We swam to her as fast as we could, Heath diving under the water me following, Ruby was screaming out to her when suddenly Heath surface holding a limp Bella in his arms.
I pushed my board closer as Heath lifted her onto the board, Ruby was crying as we dragged her to the shore "I'm so sorry" she sobbed "Rubes, it's not your fault honey" I said as we watched Heath doing CPR on her. I was crying, Heath was crying, I watched as my brother tried to resuscitate the first girl I ever loved "Bella please" Ruby cried falling down beside her and taking her hand. By now the family had begun to make their way over two us, but time seemed to go so slowly. It seemed like hours Heath had been trying to bring Bella back to us but it had only been about a minute "is everything okay here?" the lady asked "of course it's not okay! Does this look like its normal!" Ruby screamed. The lady looked startled "sorry about that, she got hit by a rogue wave." I said and the lady nodded "Bella please be alright" Ruby sobbed "that's the princess mummy" a little girl said as she pushed to the front "what Natylaiah?" the lady asked "the princess from the video store… Coopies friend" she said as she looked down Bella who had gone ghostly white "oh my god Bella" a boy said as her looked over.
Sorry for leaving this on a cliffhanger but I couldn't resist. I know this chapter is short but I wanted to leave this one on a cliffhanger. Let me know what you think will happen – will Heath be able to revive Bella? Do you want her to survive? Tell me what you think… I can't wait to find out. I will try and update soon but you have to review okay! So review, review, review! Dannielle xx
