The continuation of my first EastEnders fan fiction 'The Square'. You should probably read 'The Square' before you read this though. As always my first chapter is quite short. Hope you like it! Read and Review!
Danielle POV
The Square 2
Chapter 1
It had been three months since I was reunited with Ronnie. I was now living with Ronnie and her fiancée Jack in a typical Walford-style home. The past had been rough but now things were different. We were happy, all of us. Well, mostly...
Even though some things were good right now there was still a lot of problems. A lot of problems for me anyway. I had enormous pressure building on me at the moment due to the business I was attempting to start with Ronnie. And Ronnie was part of another problem. Her and Jack had been fighting like crazy. Ever since they had got engaged it had been problem after problem. It had started with extremely stupid things like leaving the toilet seat up and it had escalated into a much more serious side which included Jack storming out, leaving Ronnie to cry and then returning the next morning to clear things up. Every single fight ended with the two of them apologizing then the next thing you knew they were planning the wedding again! With Ronnie's time being divided between fighting with Jack and planning the wedding there was no time whatsoever for me and our business. This all meant that all the work for the business plus the housework and payments were left on my shoulders. Yes, the pressure was certainly building and it was showing. Everyone could tell...not only me.
That day I headed down to see how the business was going. Ronnie and I had decided to start a business called Mitchells Salon. I wanted myself to be known as a Mitchell now. Part of the family. I had always wanted to open my own hair salon but I had never had the money to do so. That's why Ronnie had offered to help me out financially. It was to make up for all the lost years between us and to celebrate all the years we have ahead of us. But now, thanks to all the problems, Ronnie wasn't pitching in like she had promised. I had brought the subject up many times but Ronnie always 'forgot'. There was a reason for Ronnie pitching in, the reason being that I can't do this by myself. Not yet anyway.
I got out the taxi thanking the driver as I exited the taxi. I put the key in the lock then swung the door open. I took a step inside. "Whoa!" I gasped as I looked around at my surroundings. They had managed to turn a tiny, unwanted dump into a reasonably sized, beautiful hair salon. It had always been my dream to be a hairdresser and finally my dreams were coming true. I smiled happily as the thought crossed my mind. I couldn't wait to tell Ronnie how brilliant the business was starting out..despite the problems.
I arrived home in a great mood after seeing my hair salon. "Ronnie! Mum!" I called out as I skipped into the house.
"No!" I heard Ronnie scream. I heard a loud smash then Jack came storming out of the room.
"Jack?" I called as Jack exited the house in a very bad mood. Suddenly everything went quiet. Silence. A distraught Ronnie walked through the door wiping the tears from her eyes as she came to greet me.
"You shouted?" Ronnie said, grabbing a tissue to dab her eyes.
"Uh..I think you were shouting more than me!" I replied. I was really worried about her. These fights were becoming a daily routine. I wasn't sure how much more Ronnie could handle.
"Look what do you want Danielle?" Ronnie sniffed angrily.
"I..uh..well the..the hair salon's coming along well", I smiled. Even that sounded inappropriate and what I was going to say next wasn't going to make it any better. "There is still one thing I need though.." I admitted.
"What's that?" Ronnie asked still with a little anger in her voice.
"Uh..I need you to put in your share of money so I can get my business up and running!" I said. I sighed as I said this. I could hear myself speak and it came out completely wrong. I could tell how Ronnie was going to react.
"Money? You want money from me?!" Ronnie cried, her voice rising a little louder at every word.
"Uh.." Was all I could really say.
"Oh my god! You want money right now!" Ronnie said as she grabbed her purse. Ronnie began to pull money out her purse frantically. "Well here's your money Danielle! Take it!!" She cried tossing the money in my direction. Suddenly something took over me. I don't know what it was. I suddenly felt all strange. Normally I would just shrug it off but this time I didn't.
"NO! RONNIE I'M NOT TAKING THIS! I'M NOT! I'M..." Suddenly as I began to give Ronnie an earful I heard something. I couldn't explain it. I heard sort of...voices. Someone screamed and then I heard a lot of mumbling voices.
"Danielle?" Ronnie said. "What's going on?" I didn't know what was going on. I was scared.
"Got to go!" I said as I rushed up to my room. I lay on my bed. The voices were still screaming at me. I put a pillow over my head trying to block out the sound but I still heard them...louder than ever. What were they? What was happening?
Well what's wrong with Danielle? Will Jack and Ronnie's relationship survive? You'll find out the answer to these questions if you continue to read 'The Square 2'. Hope you like it and check out Chapter 2! Please review!!
