Lizzie p.o.v
I hear people talking around me then my sadness suddenly got replaced by anger as I grabbed my gun from my holster and point it straight at Ruby who throws her hands up in surrender.
Ruby - lizzie please let me explain first you do anything it's not what you think I swear.
Lizzie - like am gonna believe a whore like you.
What doesn't help is Alex who goes and stands in front of her my eyes widen.
Alex - Lizzie don't shoot.
Lizzie - I don't believe this.
I keep my gun on them as my mum comes in the room with a tray of lemonade and some if her homemade cookies.
Belinda (mum) - Lizzie Jones what in the world are you doing?! Put that gun away there is a child behind you.
I had completely forgot about that little boy, Alex's and Rubys son or so I throught.
Lizzie - yeah I know he's Alex's son.
They stand there is surprise Alex goes to reach for me but I keep my gun on him stopping him.
Ruby - Lizzie he's not Alex's son, he's Gus son look.
Keeping my gun on them I turn my head to see Gus holding the boy on his arms with the child's head resting into his neck. I can feel my gun being taken out my hands as I see my brothers walk in the door behind them in walk Summer and Winter all with confused looks on their faces.
Shane - what's going on?
Belinda (mum) - everyone sit down Ruby has some news for us to hear.
Winter - Lizzie are you ok? You look pale
I don't say anything as I slop down onto the couch beside me I am so ashamed of myself right now I don't know what came over me Alex sits beside me and goes to hold me but I just love away from him the others sit down too. Mum hands us all a glass of lemonade I look over to Ruby she's sitting next to Gus and the child am not sure is the shock of seeing her again with a child or at the fact I throught he was Alex's son.
Jake - so what's this all about?
What Ruby says shocks me even more.
Ruby - well let me start by saying that my son Caleb isn't Alex's but Gus's we slept together after me and Alex broke up I found out I was pregnant after I left but me and Gus kept in contact he would come out to see us.
Shane - so that's where you would go?
Gus - that's right I didn't want my son not knowing who I am or being without my fiancé.
Summer - your engaged?
Gus and Ruby nod.
Shane - I always throught you were gay Gus.
Gus looks at Shane and rasies and eyebrow.
Gus - why?
Shane - well I've never seen you with any woman and when I did ask you if you liked women you always said you were to busy right now to give a woman what she needs.
Gus - that was a cover up cuz of her grandparents.
That's right Ruby was raised by her grandparents since her parents were killed by bandits let's just say that her grandparents were really old fashioned and believed that the head of the family should pick a husband for her. I stay quiet I really don't know what to say right now.
Ruby - anyway the other reason why I came is because I got a call yesterday for Chad.
That got my attention all right and makes Alex spoke up he's been as quiet as me this whole time.
Alex - what did he say to you?
Ruby - he was telling me that he wants me to help him back Lizzie back, I was to try to seduce you and I was to tell you that my son was Alex's. I told him I wasn't doing to do that and to leave you guys alone.
Summer - wow.
Winter - what a douchebag.
Jake - am gonna rip his head off his shoulders.
Mum smacks Jake on the head.
Belinda (mum) - watch your language there is a child here.
Jake - sorry mum I just hate that guy.
Alex - I knew he would try something just didn't think it would be this soon.
Austin - what do we do now?
Shane - lizzie?
I look over to Shane I can tell he's worried about me since I've not said a word.
Shane - are you ok? You haven't said a word.
The truth is I didn't know what to say I could feel everyone's eyes on me as i look down to the floor then I feel and see a hand on my knee i raise my head to see Ruby.
I hear the others talking before Ruby even starts.
Summer - we should get back to work
Winter - yeah and don't you guys have a bridge to build?
Jake - oh yeah, mum will you be ok here?
Belinda (mum) - of course I will call when dinner is ready.
My brothers leave the house to start working on the bridge since we have plenty of materials for it and it would be easier to cross the river with. Summer and Winter go back to work on the stable work, Austin has homework to finish which he hates doing but Alex doesn't leave but watches me I can see it in his eyes that he wants to hold me I want him too but I nearly shot him and Ruby why would he want me now?
Ruby - Lizzie i know I scared you when you saw Caleb and throught he was Alex's but he's not And am sorry for leaving the way I did. I came to warn you about Chad I swear to you I know that Alex loves you he told me.
I search her eyes to see if she is lying I couldn't find anything I knew she was telling the truth. She is searching my eyes and probably knows that I regret pulling my gun out and am ashamed of it as she looks back to Gus who brings Caleb over My hands are shaking as Ruby talks to her son. I have no idea what she is gonna do if it was me I would have taken my child and run but Ruby is one of those people who can tell if you are a good person or a bad person she would never let a bad person near her or anyone she loves.
Ruby - Caleb I want you to meet mummys good friend, this is auntie Lizzie.
She gentle places him on my lap with his tiny hand he puts it on my cheeks before my heart was racing and I felt like I couldn't breath but now my heart is slowing down and I start to calm down.
Ruby - they say a baby's scent can calm you down and help you relax.
Belinda (mum) - that's what I heard when I had Jake.
I keep my arm around Caleb so he doesn't fall then I feel a hand on my shoulder I look to see Alex smiling at me then he looks down to a yawning Caleb who cuddles into me slowing falling alseep I smile down at Caleb then look back to Alex and say the first words in the last few moments.
Lizzie - Alex am so sorry I jumped to conclusion istead of listening to the story again. I wouldn't blame you for walking away from this.
Alex - Lizzie you and I both know that I could never walk away from you and I was shocked too I know our relationship is just starting and we already have troubles but I know we can get though this. Even if I was to walk we both know I couldn't stay away.
Ruby takes Caleb from me as I start to tear up I can't do this he needs someone to take care of him, love and cherish him each day and not gonna let him get hurt cuz of my messed up life I have to do this even this it will hurt us both.
Lizzie - you are too good for me you deserve who's life isn't so messed up am sorry but we can't be together.
Alex - what why?!
We didn't notice that mum, Gus and Ruby have left the room, Alex has a shocked and sad look on his face.
Lizzie - Alex with everything that's going in with my dad and now Chad i can't be in a realtionship.
I stand up and turn away from him I don't want him to see me cry then I feel two arms wrap around my waist and Alex head rests on my shoulder.
Alex - am not letting you go without a fight Lizzie, I will kill Chad before he takes you from me we will think of a plan I know you have problems but am not going anywhere I will help you though them.
I just broke down and started to cry while Alex stayed keeping me in his arms.
