Chapter 3 - she never came home last night
Thank you for the lovely reviews again! To the guest who reviewed and said about Casey being twenty basically this whole story isn't going to be completely based on the events that have happened so that's why they are 17 :)
"Brax where are you going" I beg running out the door after him
"To find Andy"
"Why?" I ask
"If he was involved like you say he was, he will know where Jake is" He says sternly
"But that's what jake wants, he'll be waiting for you" I say still chasing him down the road
"I'm counting on it"
"Brax please don't do this" I plead voice croaking
He turns around to face me and holds onto my face and looks me into the eye.
"I need justice for Casey, don't tell me you don't want that too" he spoke
"None of this would of been happening if it wasn't for me" I croaked
"You listen to me none of this was your fault, wether it would of been you or Casey one of you would of got killed, that is not your fault. It's my fault,mJake was after me and you two both got caught up in this all and Casey paid the price for my mistake. I should of seen this coming, I should of protected you both, I'm sorry" Brax says stroking my head
"But why couldn't it of been me instead of Casey, why was it him" I whimper
"Paige don't think like that, Casey wanted to protect you that was his choice any of us would of done the same if we were in that situation. Now I want you to go home whilst I go find Andy okay" Brax reassures
"Okay" I nod
I watch him walk off into the darkness, who knows if I will see him alive again but I knew I had to let him do this. By now it had begun to rain but I couldn't face going back to the house without Brax they would all ask to many questions so I decide to go to Angelo's, as I get there I walk over to the bar I walk behind the bar and grab a bottle of vodka and head outside with it. I sit by the railings overlooking the beach just outside Angelo's and grab the bottle of vodka and pull off the top and begin to gulp down the vodka. With every sip I take I began to feel more relaxed, It was like nothing really mattered anymore.
As it begins to get into the early hours of the morning, I decide I better make my way home as the storm is starting to get worst and I'm absolutely freezing, I try to stand up but I was so wobbly from all the alcohol I had consumed. When I finally get to my feet I try I walk a few before end up tripping and hitting my head on the wooden railings and then onto the hard concrete floor, suddenly everything starts to go dark.
Brax's POV
It was around 6 o'clock in the morning when I finally get home, I walk in to see Kyle sat at the table eating breakfast before he goes off to work.
"Did you find him?"Kyle asks
"Yep"
"So what happened then?"He asks intrigued
"He needs to speak to another guy who was working with Jake" I announce
"How long will that take?"
"I don't know Kyle" I snap
"Anywhere where's Paige?"
"What do you mean where's Paige?" I burst out
"She went with you last night didn't she?" Kyle asks confused
"She followed me but I told her to come back"
"Well she never came back here Brax"
" I need to find her, she wasn't in the best state of mind last night" I say panicked
"What do you mean?" Kyle questions
"She said that she should of been killed not Casey" I confessed
"Poor kid, I can't imagine what it was like for her to be there when it all happened"
"Let's walk to the beach she probably went there last night, that is where her and Casey spent a lot of time" I suggested
"But there was a big storm last night she couldn't of been out in that"
"Well let's just go and look" I shout
Kyle POV
As Brax drives us to the beach, I can see how frantic he is.
"We will find her Brax" I assure
"What if we don't, what if something's happened to her" Brax says panicked
"We will, just calm down"
I knew he had taken Casey's death pretty hard, we all did. He has been keeping strong for Paige but I know that inside he's a complete mess I just wish there was something I could do. We pull up the beach and we both jump out, Brax runs down the beach frantically calling her name whilst I walk towards Angelo's to see if I could get a better view of the beach. As I walk towards Angelo's I see someone sprawled out on the floor, blood on there head and a an empty bottle of vodka beside them. As I get closer I begin to realise it's Paige and quickly run as fast as I could to wear she was layed.
"Paige" I shout
I kneel down beside her and scoop her onto my lap, I place my hand over the cut on her head to stop the bleeding.
"Brax she's over here, quick" I shout
Her body temperature was freezing and she was drenched in water from the storm last night, I quickly take off my jacket and place it over her to try and bring her body temperature up, when she begins to open her eyes.
"What happened, Is she ok?" Brax says out of breathe from all the running
