There's loads of Ronnie and Danielle stories I know, it seems people cannot get enough lol I would like to point out im a guy and I feel a little intimated by you girls lol The standards of the fics on here are beyond amazing. Your thinking why is this guy writing a fic? Well,when I watched the wedding episode 2nd April I was so annoyed! Plus I was adopted as a child from birth and went to find my mother,and it didnt turn out how I wanted it too. (No I didnt get hit by a car,or get thrown out of a pub LOL) Reviews would be great,and if I personal message some of you girls its only because I need advice from a woman's POV. I've had this idea in my head for quite sometime and my passion is writing (When I have the time). A few friends and family members have been nagging me to write and share it with everyone so I am lol. Everyone seems nice on here and its a pleasure to read such amazing fics.
Three old china plates slipped through his hands shattering into smithereens on the ground. This day couldn't be more stressful,moving house was one thing but moving to a completely different area was something else. Bending down to pick up the pieces of china he smirked,almost like the shattered glass was a reminder of his relationship. He looked for a nearby bin as he watched the removal men and his father struggling with the sofa's and armchairs. How many times would he have to explain to his dad that they needed new furniture. He strolled back over to his front garden with his hands casually in his pockets,boxes were stacked near the front door waiting to packed away and moved to London.
"You gonna stand there all day and do nothing,come on son give me a hand" Andy huffed,he put the rest of the boxes down and moped his brow with a handkerchief.
Gareth gave a small nod,"I'm still not sure about this dad,does Dani even know we've brought a house on the square?" he asked.
Andy had twisted his arm and convinced him that moving to Walford would be the fresh start that they both needed. Since the departure of Danielle,Andy missed her more and more everyday. He had no idea if his little girl was ok,this way they could all be together and try to be the family they all deserved.
Andy said nothing,he looked at his son and shook his head a little. He knew telling Danielle that they were moving to London would only cause up out of the blue seemed like a better plan,this way Danielle couldn't shift them off back home.
"I cant believe you haven't told her,you know what shes like,she went to London to get away from us" Gareth moaned kicking a stone which scuffed his new trainers. Since things didnt work out with his finance,moving else where seemed like a good plan when he was wallowing in heartache. But now it seemed Andy was so determined to hold on to Danielle that moving seemed to be the only option.
Andy tipped the removal men and watched as they slammed the doors shut. "I wish you would be a little more positive,it will be nice to see what you big sister is up too" Andy encouraged,he happily slouched his shoulders and peered into the empty house.
Since Lizzie had died everything had turned sour,Andy was near a recluse and Gareth seemed to have no luck in life at all. Moving away and leaving behind all the miserable memories seemed like the only thing left to do,what did they have to loose? Everyday Andy would feel the strain in his heart just wishing his Lizzie could've been alive to share all the plans they made,all the places they wanted to travel to when they got older. But now Andy had nothing,sad as it seemed he was clinging on to his children for dear life,terrified of loosing them.
Andy turned to his son,"Look Telford hasn't brought us much luck has it? Starting fresh somewhere else could be the best thing..for all of us. Don't you worry about Dani,im sure she will be over the moon to know we are just a few doors away!" he grinned tapping Gareth's shoulder he walked off towards the car.
"Yeah..yeah im sure" Gareth said raising an eyebrow.
He decided to take one last look around the house,just a mental reminder of what he was actually going to leave behind. He and Danielle had grown up together in this house,so many good and bad memories lingered. He knew that his father would eventually move on and meet someone,he was a nice person and his family had always been his number one priority. Gareth slowly walked up the stairs,he stared at the blank walls where the pictures used to hang,he deeply inhaled knowing this was the last time he would stand in this house. Everything seemed so bare and plain,it didnt even look like the place he grew up in anymore. Hesitating he looked across the hallway at his mother and father's room,he shook his head a little and turned to walk into the bathroom. Gareth thought of his mother every single day but never too much,it only upset him deeply that she would never get to see her grandchildren,never get to see either of them get married and settle down. He locked the bathroom door behind him,he stared into the mirror that hung from the wall. He ran a hand over his face,his eyes were bloodshot from not sleeping,all the anticipation of moving had kept him up half the night. Maybe Andy was right,a new life somewhere else could be exactly what they needed. Gareth grinned at the thought of even finding a girlfriend in London.
"Gareth,come on,i wanna get a move on already!" Andy shouted loading cardboard boxes into the boot.
Gareth sighed,"Yeah..yeah im coming!" he shouted back through the open window.
Andy shut the the boot of the car and dusted himself down,for the first time since Lizzie passed away he actually felt excited about this new adventure. The thought of meeting new people and trying to build a new life for his family seemed fresh,something to focus on. Life seemed so lonely since Danielle moved away,he wanted his little girl back in his life,he wanted to protect her and be there for her. Andy walked around to the drivers side and opened the door to get in,he took one last look at the house. He swallowed his tears and faught the lump in his throat,there was no going back now he thought.
Gareth shut the front door behind him,he knew this was a chapter in their lives they had to leave behind but not forget. He took a deep breath and made his way over to the car,he opened the passenger door and got in. Andy's hands were firmly on the steering wheel,his eyes were locked into a stare. Gareth said nothing,he reached over and pulled the seatbelt around himself,"Dad..are you alright?" he asked concerned about his father. After all this was the house he and Lizzie had lived in,raised their children,it held so many history.
"Yeah im fine,lets go" he said sternly although the tremble in his voice was obvious. The two drove away from the house,neither of them looking back. Andy's plans were simple,move into their new home with Danielle,get a job and hopefully meet some friendly people. It puzzled both Gareth and Andy greatly that Danielle moved to London without giving them an actual reason why. The reason to 'find herself' was growing old and Andy didnt buy it. Danielle had always been special to him and Lizzie,adopting her and bringing her home was one of the most happiest days of his life. Then finding out Lizzie was pregnant after being told she couldn't have children seemed amazing,two great kids,one big happy family.
The worry for Danielle grew,she phoned him every week assuring him that she was fine and was having the time of her life. Although something in her voice gave it away,she sounded so lost and hurt,Andy was determined to make everything right. Danielle was still a child and needed people around her that care,and that was exactly what he was going to do. He owed it to Lizzie to make sure both his children were happy. Gareth glanced at his father,there eyes met and a spark of excitement was felt between the two. Off they drove to London,not knowing the dark cloud that always seems to loom around the square. The secrets and deceit and how everybody seemed to know your business. Andy wanted his family back together,nothing was going to stand in his way.
