So happy Charlie and Brax are back together and Brax saying he, Charlie, Ruby and Jake will be a lil family bless

That ending! I don't like the sounds of it! It sounds like Ruby has been raped, I hope not, but it seems that way. At leaset charlie knows what Ruby will be felling/going through if it is true... and, even though it was sad to read Ruby's breakdown in the shower, it was a beautiful image of Charlie not caring that she would get wet and was just holding Ruby

Update soon please Danni!

such a great update!

Feel sorry for Ruby and for Charlie; Ruby for obvious reasons and Charlie for seeing history repeat itself in a weird way

Xavier punching Casey was probably not the smartest move he's ever done, but the reasoning made it sort of okay....but Casey saying it was consensual.....hmm, this drama is gonna be good

update soon please danni

Okay, I may be a complete fool, but I don't entirely believe Ruby. Don't know, just have that feeling. I don't think we should convict Casey too soon, I hope the truth will come out. I wonder what Brax thinks of all of this and I really hope that doesn't cause trouble between him and Charlie. Thank you for this update Danni! I love your story!

I had a bad feeling that it was gonna be Casey! Brilliant chapter.... Looking forward to see how Brax reacts!

Amazing update More soon please xx

I know that Ruby isn't lying because of the showers and everything, it's too real and she would never do that to Charlie. If she didn't want people to know she'd slept with Casey she wouldn't draw attention to it.

Maybe Casey didn't think she meant the "No" or he's just an amazing liar like his brothers.

I hope she lets Charlie help her through this.

Great update,

Ruby's definetly not lying!! She would never do that to Charlie after what happened to her!!

Can't believe it was Casey !! He better go down for what he did !!

Three AMAZING !!!!! updates [how soooooo annoyomh that my modem died], most especially …...

 Charlie had just put Jacob down for the night, and had eventually managed to take Xavier’s bear from his grasp. “Goodnight sweat pea” Charlie smiled as she placed a kiss on Jacob’s forehead before she left the room. She walked across to Ruby’s bedroom and knocked on the door before walking in. “Here you go” Charlie said as she handed Xavier the bear.

 “You’re probably just scared that he is going to hurt you again” Xavier said. “The way I see it, is if you want my opinion, you’ve got two options. Option one, you give Brax that second chance, and you get to be happy again, or option two, you stick to your guns and don’t forgive him, but you’re miserable right now, no offence”

 “I would offer to hurt him if he ever hurt you again, but I think he’s just a tad bigger than me, so I don’t think I will” Xavier said and Charlie laughed.

 Aww what I was looking forward to being a bridesmaid” Indi sulked.

“Oh look at that April, she thinks she’s getting to be a bridesmaid” Ruby teased.

“We’re not?” April asked.

Ruby laughed “Of course you are. And Jake will be my little pageboy. Aww bless he’s be so cute in a little suit. And my Mum will give me away....aww; I’m going to have so much fun planning this” Ruby grinned “Although I think I want a small wedding. Close friends and family only”

 Casey smiled as he noticed Ruby. Casey couldn’t believe how beautiful she was and he still hated that he’d lost her to someone like Xavier. “Aww your still not hung up over her are you?” Heath asked “It’s been ages, let it go”

 “I guess love it a concept that you don’t understand Heath” Casey spat

 “I’m sorry” Charlie said “I should never have asked you to leave the boys. They are your family and -”

“I’d do it” Brax said “If it meant getting you back, Charlie. I’ll leave the boys, because you’re right. I can’t go straight if I continue to hang around with them”

 “But Brax, I think I’m done” Charlie said “I’ve got two great kids and I don’t know if I want anymore”

 “Well people do make mistakes” Casey said “You’ll tire of him Ruby. You’re to spontaneous and exciting for some bore like Xavier. You’d suit me much better”

 “Ah man” April said as she pulled a face of disgust. “What the hell was that?”

 Ruby ran into the house, tears streaming down her face. She made her way straight to the bathroom and turned on the shower, getting in and scrubbing herself all over, still dressed in her blue dress, her mascara ran down her face as cried and cried. She hit her hand against the wall a few times before she slid down and sat in the bottom of the shower, the warm water falling fast over her as she continued to shed her tears. “Rubes, is that you?” Charlie questioned as she walked into the bathroom and squinted her eyes as they adjusted to her turning the light on. “Ruby what are you doing?” Charlie questioned. Charlie’s question went unanswered as Ruby continued to cry the tears that were falling. “Ruby” Charlie said starting to feel worried. “Sweetie” Charlie stepped forward and pulled her daughter close, the water falling down, getting Charlie wet.

“He...I....I was....” Ruby cried as she clung tightly onto her mother. “Mum” Ruby cried. She closed her eyes as she mustered the strength to be able to talk. “I didn’t want to do it Mum. I didn’t want it but he wouldn’t stop. He just wouldn’t stop” Ruby cried as she clung tightly onto her mother.

 The one thing she tried so desperately to stop from happening to her little girl had happened. As she held a broken Ruby in her arms, she felt so helpless.

 “I know who it was” Ruby said as the tears continued to roll down her cheeks. “Casey. It was Casey” She buried her head against her mother’s shoulder as she cried uncontrollably. Charlie had to admit she was a little shocked. She never expected it to be Casey.

 “Maybe if I just said no one more time” Ruby cried “I wouldn’t be feeling like this right now. I feel so dirty” Ruby cried. “I need to go for a shower” Ruby said as she stood up from the bed.

 Deep down Charlie knew it wasn’t her fault, or Ruby’s, but Casey’s, but it didn’t stop her from feeling like she somewhat failed her daughter. All Charlie could do now, was promise to put Casey behind bars for as long as possible, and she would let nothing get in the way of that.

 “I swear I didn’t” Casey said “Look, we had sex last night, but it wasn’t rape. She wanted me. She’s probably just saying this not to get in trouble for cheating on you”

 “C’mon lets go get this face cleaned up” Heath said “I can’t believe you let a girl like Xavier hit you so much” Heath laughed as he and Casey walked off the beach.

 “Again?” Xavier questioned and Charlie nodded. “Shouldn’t she not be going for a shower right now? I mean can’t you tell his DNA and stuff from...there. We can prove it was him”

“I tried telling her” Charlie answered “But she’d already showered last night, and in her clothes, so any evidence will be gone” Charlie said.

 “But, you mark my words Xavier, I’ll get him into a jail cell if it’s the last thing I do”
