RICKY'S POV:
Casey stayed silent and I sighed heavily… "Casey, I won't ask you again, did Ben do this to you?"
"For the last time, no," he replied "I don't know who it was. I was jumped from behind."
"Okay," I sighed, running my hands over my face "go back to sleep."
"Where're you going?" he questioned as I stood up
"To use the bathroom." I informed him, moving across the room to the en-suite bathroom "Go to sleep, Case…"
Shutting the door behind me as he shut his eyes and turned in bed, I used the bathroom and then made my way back out and curled up in the chair again, shutting my eyes…
BRAX'S POV:
I awoke the next morning before Ricky and Casey. Stretching my hands above my head, I climbed from the chair and made my way out of the room to the canteen for a coffee…
RICKY'S POV:
Brax, myself and Casey arrived home late that morning, Caitilyn hurrying over to us as we walked in the door…
"Hello, my gorgeous girl." Brax greeted her, picking her up and spinning her around
"She's just had ice cream so I'd be careful if I were you." Bianca informed him
"Let's sit you down in front of the TV then, shall we?" he suggested, placing her on the sofa
Chuckling lightly, I placed Casey's bag on the floor and wrapped my arm around his waist… "Right, Mr, it's time for bed!"
"Do I have to go to bed?" he questioned
"Case, you heard what Sid said," I replied "so yes, you do."
"I'll bring you some food through soon, Casey." Bianca informed him
"Thanks." he replied as I helped him through to his room
BRAX'S POV:
"You've been quiet all day…" I informed Ricky as she got organised for bed that night
"You know me and hospital chairs; we don't get on." she replied "I'm shattered!"
"Ric, I've known you for more than 20 years and I know when you're lying. I admitted "So what's really the problem?"
She bit her lip nervously and sat down on the end of the bed… "I think I know who might have beat Casey up."
"Who?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at her
"Ben, the guy who was here yesterday." she replied
"Yeah, I know who Ben is, but why do you think he would have done it?" I inquired
"Last night he was mumbling in his sleep, and he said "please don't, Ben, please." she informed me
"Did you say anything to him about it?" I questioned
"Yeah, I woke him up and asked him," she replied "but he said it wasn't."
"And you don't believe him?" I inquired
She shook her head, signalling no… "There was something dodgy about the way Ben was acting yesterday when he found out about Casey being in hospital. It was almost as if he was scared. I might be reading too much into it, but you've gotta admit, something doesn't make sense."
I sighed heavily and ran my hands over my face… "I need to speak to Case."
"In the morning, Brax." she begged, pulling me back to the bed as I moved to climb out
"Do you expect me to sleep knowing that Casey might be lying to us?" I questioned
"No, but what's the point in bringing it all up now? Wait until tomorrow when Aaron and Caitilyn are out of the way and then say something," she replied "please…"
"Okay." I sighed
"Thank you." she stated
So Ricky and Brax are pretty sure Casey's lying… What will Casey do?
