Sorry there has been a delay on this chapter. I hope you all enjoy. There may be a slowdown in Chapters over the Christmas break, as I've been kept fairly busy. Please review as per usual. Xx

Chapter 15

Inspector Joyce sat down on the edge of his desk in front of them all looking at them all with great sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you this, but Bianca has passed on. We are to believe she killed herself in her car earlier tonight however she did leave this final letter for you all which I'm willing to pass on to you for your viewing".

April looked lost; she wasn't sure what she was going to do and just started crying. Heath didn't want to show any emotion so he put his arm around April to comfort her, as did Brax trying to comfort Charlie. Liam just looked on, he wasn't sure what he should do or say. "Did you want me to read the letter out aloud to all of you in one go", Brax asked. April and Charlie just nodded. He knew he wasn't as close to Bianca as the rest of them and thought it was best that he did it.

Dear My Closest Friends and Family,

I realise you may think what I did was selfish and unfair on you all but I know this will allow you all to get along a lot better. Charlie & Brax - Please look after my little sister for me, she is my world and I know you two are the best parents any child or person could ever want. Please guide her in the right direction and help her with her unborn child. The many of things I would of never been able to do for her. April - I love you more than words can say, you are my baby sister and I know you will make a great parent to that Child you are having. Please don't be upset but this was for the best one day you'll be able to understand my decisions and realise I had made the right decision for me at this present time. Heath - Look after April for me, and I know you will ensure that your child with her will have a life which is so much more then what you could've of ever hoped for. Lastly but not least Liam - I loved you right up until you went to rehab, you said you were leaving me over an argument between April and I. This is childish, one day you'll meet someone and fall in love again and hopefully by then you would have grown up. I love you still, but for now you kept dragging me down. I know this means your unborn baby will have died, and it might be hard for you to understand why I've done what I've done, but you out of all people should understand my struggles over the past few years.

I love you all, and please tell everyone else this isn't a time to be sad and to understand this is what needed to happen. Take care and be happy.

Heath and Brax knew right then and there that it was time to get April and Charlie home; they knew they were both going to struggle but what no one knew was that Heath was struggling just as much. He loved Bianca more than words could describe and now he was having a baby to her sister. He knew at the end of the day he would learn to love April the way he loved Bianca, and that everything April and he shared would keep that little piece of Bianca he had always wanted in his life for good.

Brax and Charlie had finally arrived home from the police station, where Brax tucked Charlie into bed and kissed her on her forehead, before sending a message to Heath "Mate, I know what you told me earlier are you ok? I know you're trying to be strong for April but you can talk to me". Even though he knew he wasn't going to get a reply from him tonight, he needed to tell Heath that he would always be there for him.

The following day, Charlie had woken very early because she had trouble sleeping after last night's events. She knew she had a Christmas party she had to organise and work out what she was going to do and she knew she didn't want to fall apart in front of her children. Charlie was sitting in the kitchen having a coffee when Ruby arrived with little Cody to help her mother. Casey had sent her a message once he knew why they were called to the police station and told her that he would stay here tonight and that Charlie might need some alone time.

Ruby: Charlie, what can I help you with?

Charlie just looked up at her and kept going at her lists.

Ruby: I know your upset Mum, but I want to help you. You do not have to go through this alone. We all need to pull together at times like these.

Ruby went over and hugged Charlie, and Charlie started to fall apart. Alexis had walked down stairs and saw the interaction between her sister and her mother and wasn't sure what she do or why her mum was so upset.

Alexis: Mummy are you ok?
Charlie: Of course I am.
Alexis: but you're crying?

Charlie just pulled Alexis in for a hug. Brax had heard everything Alexis had said to Charlie and walked over to Charlie and took her upstairs while mouthing to Ruby "Thank you". Ruby knew that she was going to have to help out but she was worried about April so she sent Heath a message "Is April ok? I'm making lunch over at Brax and Charlie's place, you should bring her over. At times like these we need to be around family".

Heath stared at the Message before telling April that they were going to go stay with Charlie and Brax for a while for some extra support to get through this tough time.
