Chapter 16:

Ruby walked into Leah's house later that night to find Charlie cuddled up by herself on the couch with a hot chocolate, a box of tissues and was watching 'The Titanic'. She immediately new Charlie was still bothered by something from earlier that day.

"Hey" Ruby said softly as she entered the living room.

"Hey Rubes" Charlie replied shortly, turning around to face her daughter momentarily before turning back to the movie. Charlie sighed heavily as she continued watching the television screen.

"Aren't Jack and Rose just so beautiful together? They're so in love and happy and they talk to each other and..." Charlie was interrupted by some unwanted tears making their way down her face.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay. What are the tears for?" Ruby asked as she made her way over to the couch and sat down next to Charlie, rubbing her back comfortingly.

"Nothing, it's just the movie".

"No it's not, and we both know it. What's Brax done now?" Ruby asked, causing a few fresh tears to fall from Charlie's eyes at the mention of his name.

"I don't know, that's the thing. Something's up with him, but he won't talk to me, it's like he doesn't trust me or something" Charlie sobbed as Ruby held her in a hug.

"Charlie, he does trust you, more than anyone."

"Then why does he keep shutting me out?" Charlie said as she wiped her eyes with more tissues.

"He's a guy. And their species isn't very good at the whole talking about your feelings thing" Ruby joked hoping to lighten Charlie's mood a little. Charlie laughed at her daughter. She loved that Ruby had the ability to cheer her up when she was feeling down.

"Yeah, I guess..."

"So are you going to go and force it out of him or what?" Ruby nudged Charlie lightly in the arm.

"Mm, no. I'm just gonna go to bed I think. Goodnight sweetheart" Charlie hugged Ruby and went to her bedroom, shutting the door behind her and settling in bed for an early night.

----------------------------

Charlie was able to fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, but she was woken up at 3:30am by loud knocking on her window and a voice calling her name.

"Charrrrrrrrlieeeeeeeeeee" the voice spoke loudly, knocking on the window roughly.

"Charrrrlieeeee, let me iiiin, it's the b-big bad w-wolf" the person said, suddenly breaking out in laughter.

Charlie got out of bed and tiredly walked over to the window and opened her bedroom curtain, only to see one side of Brax's face squished up against the window, his eyes closed and breath fogging up the glass.

Charlie sighed before opening up her window.

"Brax, what the hell do you think you're doing? You're going to wake up the whole house" Charie hissed at Brax who was so drunk he wasn't able to stand upright.

"I-I wanted to s-see you, because you're my g-girlfriend and you're p-pretty and st-stuff" Brax giggled, too drunk to remember their fight the day before.

Brax started to climb through Charlie's window, but was failing miserably. If he could barely get through her window when he was sober, there was absolutely no chance he was going to make it through in the state he was in now. As he lifted up one leg to put it in the window, he practically kicked the framework and stumbled to the ground in fits of laughter.

"Jesus, Brax! Just wait there" Charlie said even though she knew he wouldn't be physically able to go anywhere.

Charlie made her way through the house, out the backdoor and over to where Brax was still lying on the ground giggling.

"Get up" Charlie said firmly, stretching out her hand for him to take. But drunk Brax didn't understand what she was doing, and instead he grabbed her hand and pulled her down on top of him, making her straddle him.

"Mmm" Brax moaned in a high tone as he grabbed Charlie by the back of the head, pulled her face down towards his and started to kiss up and down her neck.

"Brax, stop." Charlie shoved him off her. "Now get the hell up" she hissed as she grabbed both of Brax's hands and pulled him up to his feet, placing one of his arms around her neck to steady him.

The two stumbled their way back through the house and into the lounge room, where Charlie threw Brax down on his back on the couch. The whole time Brax had his eyes closed and was just about to fall asleep. Charlie looked at Brax's sleepy face, as drunk as he was and as upset as she was with him, his face looked so peaceful and relaxed, which made her smile.

Slowly Charlie removed Brax's shoes, then his jeans and last of all, she stripped off his dark blue t-shirt and placed them all in a pile next to the couch. Charlie was sure Brax was asleep by now, so she lightly lifted his head up, placing a cushion underneath it and throwing a blanket over his half naked body.

Looking at the clock, it was now 4am and Charlie was exhausted. She sighed before starting to head back to her bedroom, but was stopped by a hand grabbing hers as she walked by.

"I love you Charlie" Brax mumbled with his eyes still shut. Charlie rubbed the back of Brax's hand with her thumb and then went back to her bed to try and fall back asleep.

--------------------------

Charlie groaned as she was again woken up in the early hours of the morning, 7:30am to be exact. She was woken by someone pulling back the doona cover and getting in the bed beside her. Soon enough she realised who it was, as Brax's strong arms wrapped around her and his body cuddled up into her back. He placed a few soft kisses on her neck and then settled to sleep.

"Ugh, Brax, you stink" Charlie groaned as she tried to wiggle her way out of his grip.

"Of sexiness" Brax joked, the couple of hours sleep had sobered him up and he was back to his cheeky self.

"No, of beer. It's gross."

Brax sighed and released his hold on Charlie, turning and lying down on his back, staring at the roof. Charlie soon rolled over on her right side to face Brax, placing her right arm under her head for leverage. She gazed at Brax who still had a firm stare on the roof. After a little while, she finally spoke.

"Enjoy your night did you?" Charlie asked quietly.

"Mmm" Brax replied bluntly. Charlie breathed out in frustration.

"Why did you get so drunk?"

"Because of our fight."

"What, so every time we have an argument you're going to run off and get smashed, instead of trying to work things out?"

"Charlie, you know that's not going to happen" Brax replied.

"Isn't it?"

"No Charlie! It was a once off, alright? Jeez, I didn't know a man wasn't allowed to have a few beers." Brax said harshly.

Charlie let out an angered laugh.

"What is with you recently?" she asked.

"What is with you?" Brax asked back, emphasizing the word 'you'. "You've been so uptight and frigid recently and I'm sick of it."

"You're kidding right?" Charlie scoffed. "I'm frigid and uptight because I didn't want to have sex with you just after you got out of HOSPITAL? Well I'm sorry I didn't want you to hurt yourself even more!" 

"Whatever" was all Brax had to say back.

"You're unbelievable" Charlie said in anger.

"Like you can talk" Brax replied just as angry.

"You know what, just leave, now" Charlie turned back over facing away from him.

"Ha, fine, whatever you say princess" Brax grunted sarcastically, as he got out of bed, got dressed and left. The only thing that would calm him down was going for a surf, so Brax went home to get his board and went to the beach.

Meanwhile, Charlie was way too wound up and angry to go back to sleep, so instead she got up and started cleaning all around the house even though it wasn't even 8am yet.
