BRAX'S POV:
"Case, I won't ask you again, put your phone away." I sighed as everyone sat at the table that evening eating the food that had not long been prepared on the barbecue
"Sorry." he replied, going back to eating his dinner
Glancing at Ricky, she smiled at me weakly, continuing to cut up Caitilyn's meat…
RICKY'S POV:
"Brax didn't mean to snap at you earlier, you know that, right, Case?" I questioned as I walked into the house, finding him sat at the kitchen table a little while later
"I know." he replied, smiling at me warmly
"Then what's the matter? You've been quiet ever since dinner…" I asked
Pulling his phone from his pocket, he unlocked it and scrolled through it, shoving it across the table to me…
"They're trying to get you to change your statement?" I questioned as I read the screen "Case, why didn't you say something sooner?"
"Because all I want is for things to be normal," he admitted "and I don't know how that's gonna happen."
"We'll find a way," I assured him "but first, we need to show this to the police."
He swallowed a lump in his throat and nodded his head in agreement…
"Good lad," I replied, smiling at him reassuringly "I'll get Brax, okay?"
BRAX'S POV:
Ricky pulled me away from my conversation with Heath and we made our way into the house, finding Casey sat at the kitchen table, chewing his thumbnail…
"Case?" I inquired
"I need to go to the police station again, Brax." he informed me
"How come?" I questioned
"Some of Ben's mates are trying to get Casey to change his statement." Ricky informed me
"Is that why you've been checking your phone constantly?" I asked
"Yeah, I'm sorry, Brax," he replied "I just keep letting you down."
"You don't," I assured him "come on, let's go."
Kissing Ricky softly, I followed Casey to the front door, both of us making our way to the car…
RICKY'S POV:
"I was starting to worry…" I admitted as Brax and Casey made their way in the door hours later
"Sorry," Brax sighed, throwing his keys onto the table "we had to wait to see the officer who interviewed Casey first off and he was busy with an armed robbery in Yabbie Creek."
"I'm just glad you're back," I informed them "why don't you get yourself a bit more of something to eat and then head to bed, Case?"
He nodded his head in agreement and made his way into the kitchen and opened the fridge and I turned to Brax…
"What did they say?" I questioned
"They're going to talk to the guys who've been messaging Casey," he informed me "and hopefully slap a restraining order on them."
"Hopefully," I replied "you look done in…"
"I am." he admitted as he rubbed his eyes
"Why don't you head to bed? I'll be through in a minute…" I suggested
He nodded his head in agreement and kissed me gently… "See you soon."
"See you soon." I mirrored, watching as he made his way into the bedroom
Everything's starting to get a little bit dramatic for the Braxton's, isn't it? What's new though?
