Chapter 9 ~

Sam stood behind the surf club, leaning up against the wall. He looked around, before looking back down at his phone.
"Sam," Isaac called, walking up to him, "What did you want?"
"I have to ask a favor."
"You bay kids are getting into a bad habit of that, ain't ya?" He chuckled, leaning against the wall next to him.
Sam gave him a weird look, wondering what he meant by that, but thought it would be better to ask about it later. he grabbed the empty pill bottle out of his bag, handing it to Isaac.
Isaac examined the bottle bottle closely, "Mate, this is a 30 day prescription...didn't you just hurt your leg the other day?"
Sam shrugged, "Can you get me more or not?"
"Yeah, but it'll cost you."
He sighed, pulling fifty dollars out of his pocket, and handing it to him, "Is that good?"
"I'll see what I can do." He nodded, shoving the money into his back pocket, "I'll text you when I got it." He added, turning to talk away.

"Sam?" Chloe called, looking around for him, "Sam, where'd you go?"
Sam rolled his eyes a little, limping slightly as he walked back around the front of the surf club.
Ever since Sam got out of the hospital, Chloe wouldn't leave him alone for five minutes. He knew she meant well, but he just wanted a couple minutes by himself so he could try to get his head together.
"Were you talking to Isaac?"
Sam shrugged, walking up to the entrance to the surf club.
"Why?"
"No reason, just had to take care of something."
Chloe was about to respond, but he ignored her, walking inside.

Harley sat in his bedroom, throwing his soccer ball against the wall. He stood up when he heard the front door open and close, walking to the door to see Bianca walking inside with Noah.
"Hey," Harley said, rubbing his eyes.
"Did you just get up?"
"Uh, no. I didn't really go to bed last night." He shook his head, "I was too busy thinking about Dad and Taylor."
"Heath's gone to find her, I'm sure she'll be fine." Bianca nodded.
"I know, I just can't believe she would just leave like that, without telling anyone." He shrugged, "And I can't believe you're being so calm about it."
"There's nothing I can do about it until Heath brings her back, so theres no point in getting upset about it." She shrugged.
"Wow, getting old is really mellowing you out."
"Funny, for that you get to clean the living room."
"Why? It looks fine."
"Harley...go."

"Where are you going?"
"I've got to go get some stuff from the diner."
"Or, I could go to the diner and I'll take Noah with me, and you could get whatever done here?"
Bianca nodded after a moment, "Fine, but don't get sidetracked like last time."
"Come on, Bianca, when do I ever get sidetracked?" He grinned, taking Noah from her as He walked out the door.

Casey walked back and forth outside his and his Mums house. He glanced at his watch, His mum would be home any second. He reached for the doorknob, then pulled his hand away, sticking his hands in his pocket. He was about to walk inside when he heard a car drive up.
"Casey, what are you doing home?" Rikki asked, walking up to the door, "I thought you were working."
"I am, or I was, but I needed to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
"Can we go inside?"
"Yeah." She nodded hesitantly, opening the front door.
Casey walked inside behind his Mum, "Uh..do you want to sit down?"
"Casey, what did you do?" She sighed.
"No, I didn't do anything this time..it's something I wanted to ask you about."
"What is it?"

"Okay, I've been thinking about this for a couple days, and I talked to a couple people, and I think I want to go see dad." He said quickly, expecting her to get upset about it.
"Oh," was the only thing she said, she took a deep breath. By the look on her face, she looked like she knew that he would ask about that eventually, she just didn't think it would be then. "What brought this up?"
"I've been thinking about it a while, and I've never met him. I'm 18, Mum.. I just really want to meet him." Casey nodded a little, looking down. He waited for his Mum to say something, but she didn't. He sighed, "Mum, please say something."
Ricky sighed, nodding a little, "Casey, you shouldn't be scared to ask me about anything," She shook her head, "If you want to see your dad, then you can go ahead and see him."
"Really?" He smiled a little, "Do you think he would actually want to see me?"
"Casey, you've been on his visitors list since you were born, of course he would want to see you."
"Could I go later today?"
"You can go whenever you want to."
"Can I go now?" He smiled.
"Sure, Casey." She laughed a little.

Harley walked into the diner, noticing Sam sitting at one of the Tables. He walked over, setting Noah on one of the chairs, "Hey mate."
"Hey," Sam nodded a little. just the slight movement made him dizzy.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." He shrugged.
"Alright then, could you watch Noah for a minute?"
"Sure thing."
Harley walked to the counter, ordering a couple coffees and grabbing Bianca's notebook off the shelf. He smiled a little when Sasha walked up with his drinks.
"There you go." She smiled.
"Thanks, Sash." He nodded, walking back to pick Noah up, but couldn't because his hands were full, and Noah would probably refuse to walk.

"Need a hand?" Someone behind him asked.
Harley nearly dropped the drinks, turning around. His eyes widened a little when he saw Dex, April and their son, Josiah, standing behind him, "What the, What are you guys doing here?" He asked, setting the drinks down to hug them.
Sam laughed a little, walking over to hug April.
"We were in the neighborhood, so We thought we would come for a visit." Dex smiled.
"Five years, and now you decide to come for a visit?" Sam joked, shaking Josiahs hand.
"Paris is a long way away, mate." Josiah laughed a little, picking Noah up.

"Does Mum know you're here?" Harley asked.
"No, and since when do you call Bianca mum?" April asked.
He shrugged, "So, no one knows you're here?"
"Dex!" Sasha squealed, walking over to him, hugging him tightly.
"No one but you guys and Sasha." Dex smiled, hugging her back.
"So, natalie doesn't know?" Harley asked, glancing at Josiah.
"No, not yet." Josiah shook his head, "Where is she?"
"Probably at the gym, I think she's covering for Casey today."
He nodded a little, handing Noah back to Harley, "Mum, is it okay if I go to the gym, and I'll meet you guys at Biancas later?"
"Yeah, thats fine." April nodded, turning back to Sam and Harley as he walked off.

Chloe stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom, where she had been for at least an hour, repeating the same words over and over.
"Mum, dad...I want to quit school to do music." She tried, shaking her head a little, "Nope, this is not going to work." She sighed, walking into the living room when she heard her parents come into the house.
"Oh, hey Chloe, what are you doing home?" Phoebe asked, "I thought you and Sam were practicing for something."
"We were, but we took a break so he could get something to drink and I could come talk to you."
"Is everything okay?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah, everythings fine. I just wanted to talk to you about something," She nodded, "But first you have to promise you won't get mad."
"Usually when someone says don't get mad, it means theres something to be mad about and chances are, we're going to be mad."
"No, or...I hope you won't."
"What is it, chloe?" Phoebe asked.
"I want to leave school to do music."
"Not happening." Kyle said Immediately.
"Dad-"
"You're not quitting school."
"Hang on, it's not exactly quitting school, I already talked to Mr. MacGuire and he said I could do this program where I can Study and do my music at the same time."
Kyle sighed, glancing at Phoebe who shook her head.
"No, sorry. you're not doing it." Phoebe said, looking at Kyle, then back at Chloe.
"Phoebes." Kyle started.
"No, kyle. You're not actually considering this."
"Well-"
No. We'll talk about this later. Chloe, go to your bedroom."
Chloe rolled her eyes, walking back to her bedroom and closing the door behind her.

Casey walked up to the front window at the Jail, looking around to see if anyone was there. He sat down in one of the chairs that was sitting against the wall. He waited a couple minutes, looking down at his phone just as someone walked out of the office.
"Can I help you?" The officer asked.
Casey quickly stood up, "Uh, yeah. I'm here to see Darryl Braxton?"
"Name?"
"Casey..braxton." He nodded a little, watching as the guy looked over a list.
"Yeah, you're on here." The officer nodded, "So, you're the Casey I've heard so much about."
"Uh, yeah."
"You're dads been waiting a long time to see you." He replied, "I'm going to need to to put your hands against the wall."
Casey nodded a little, doing that so the Officer could check him, before following him through the door, outside. He looked around as they walked, making a mental note to never get himself locked up, because it looked awful. He stopped behind the officer, watching him unlock the door before walking through.
"Does he know you're here?"
"Oh, no. I didn't tell him or anyone I was coming." He shrugged, looking around before taking a seat at a table close to the gate. He looked up every time someone started walking in his direction, but none of them were his dad.

"Casey?"
He turned around to see someone standing a couple feet behind him, "Brax, right?" He asked, immediately noticing the slight hurt in his expression, "Sorry..dad."
"Don't be sorry, Mate." He shook his head, walking up to Casey, "I didn't think you were coming."
"I wanted to meet you." He nodded a little, "I would have come sooner, but I didn't really know how to talk to Mum about it."
"It's alright." Brax nodded, sighing a little, "Hows everyone at home?"
"Everythings good. Mum's good." He nodded.
"How about you?"
"I'm good."
"Are you still in school?"
"Yeah, I'm nearly done."
"Your Mum told me you play basketball." He smiled.
"Yeah, since year 10. Me, Sam, levi and Harley all play." He nodded, "Amber plays on the girls team and Sarah played in year 10, but quit when her family moved to the city, and she didn't really join again when she moved back," He shrugged smiling a little, "I think I can get her to join again."
"You think?"
"Yeah, I'm sure if she remembers how fun it was, she would want to join again." He shrugged, "She came to my last game, so maybe."
"Do you like her?"
"Come on, dad. We've only known eachother for like, five minutes and you're already asking personal Questions." He laughed a little, looking down at the table, "Yeah, I really like her."
"I can tell. you got that love sick look on your face."
"If you knew her, I think you would understand." He smiled, "She's amazing."

Natalie stood behind the counter at the Gym, organizing the fines. It was just her and Andy working that day, and there weren't even that mean people there, so she was doing everything she could to keep busy.
"Oi, Koala."
Natalie turned around to see Josiah standing on the other side of the gym. She smiled, walking up to him, not saying a word, just hugging him tightly.
He sighed, "I missed you so much."
"I missed you, too." She laughed a little, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm on break, so Mum and dad thought it would be the perfect time to come for a visit, see Bianca and Heath, and the kids." He smiled, "And then I really wanted to come see you."
"How long are you in town for, then?"
"Not sure, It depends on what Mum and Dad say, I suppose."
"Hey, Nat," Andy called, walking out of the office, looking back and forth between her and Josiah, "Sorry, am I interrupting something?"
"Yeah," Natalie nodded, while Josiah shook his head, mumbling a quick 'No.'

"Right, well I was wondering if you finished your studying for your PT exam."
"Yeah, I finished the first part, but I'm not done with the rest of it yet."
"You realize you have to have it done by next week."
"Yeah, I got it, but-"
"Get back to work." He nodded, walking back into the office.
Natalie rolled her eyes a little, "Sorry, maybe we could meet after I get off work?"
"Yeah, that sounds great." He smiled, "How about I meet you back here after your shift, and I'll walk you back to your place?"
"Sure," She nodded, walking back behind the counter, taking a quick look back at Josiah as he walked out of the gym.

Reviews:

FrankElza: I'm so glad you liked that chapter! I wrote out the dinner scene, but the power went out and it was gone, and I cant even tell you how disappointed I was about that. I will be redoing it, and hopefully post it as it's own story or something like that. :) Harley's just a bit overly protective of his sister. You just wait until He sees Drew.
Yes, Poor Sam! It's sad now, but it wont be like that forever. It's kind of hard for me to depict how the characters feel in certain situations, so I'm glad you think I did a good job. :)
He's going to have a few problems in the couple chapters.

Yeah, I was too. XD I wanted Ryan to be a lot like his dad, and I think It worked out pretty well, yeah? Honestly, Casey and Sarah are my favourite Characters to write for, so as far as later chapters, they end up with my favourite storylines. :)

SURPRISE! Do you get why I was so excited? I've kind of been planning that from the start, and I was trying so hard not to say anything to anyone about it, because I didnt want anyone to know, but Yeah. :D
Thanks again for reading and reviewing. :)

LibbyBxx: Thanks for reading and reviewing! I'm so glad you liked it! Hope you keep reading. :)

fanficforyou: Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you liked it, and that you like Casey and Sarah together! (I like them too XD) and Yes, Casey went to see Brax. Wasnt that lovely? :)
Yeah, Sam's bits have been really hard to write, but I'm glad I've done it right so far.
I'll be posting the chapter with Harley and Alexis in a bit, I have to re-write it. :)

A/N
Hey guys!
Thanks for reading again, and I hope you liked it.
A lot of people asked when Brax was coming back, and He did in this Chapter, so I hope you guys liked that. :)
Also, Hello April and Dex! What did you guys think of that? (And Josiah).
Let me know what you all think, I seriously love hearing from you. :)
I'll update as soon as I can! :)
