Hey guys, i know i have a Danielle & Ronnie story going at the moment but i really wanted to do another one. A different story, so i hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1.
Ronnie has just discovered that Danielle is her daughter. Ronnie presses the locket into her sister's hand, grabbing her coat from the back of her chair she runs out of the Vic. A worried Archie panics, following closely behind her. He roughly grabs her arm, she pushes him back.
Ronnie: Get off me, Get off me!
Archie: I did it for you...
Ronnie turns her head in search for Danielle.
Archie: Dont you understand, so you'd let her go and forget her
Ronnie stared at her father, tears brimming.
Archie: You seen the girl darlin she's disturbed, she's sick
Ronnie: Ive made her like that me!
Ronnie screamed pointing at herself.
Ronnie: That's what ive done to her!
Archie: Its nobody's fault
Ronnie gritted her teeth.
Ronnie: All the things ive said, i mean the way i treated her .. i
Ronnie sighed raising a hand to her head.
Ronnie: I helped her get an abortion, my own grandchild!
Ronnie sobbed through tears, Archie continuing to lie.
Ronnie: You lied to me, you made me get her away and you lied to me! .. Why! how could you be so cruel!
Ronnie shrieked, turning back around to see if Danielle had appeared
Archie: I did what i thought was best, and you will thank me in the long run.
Ronnie glared at him, not beliving what he had just said.
Ronnie: Who are you?
Archie: Im your dad Veronica, thats as good as it gets, and there is a little bit of me inside of you
Ronnie caught her breath.
Ronnie: No ..NO!
Archie: Yeah, you threw her out, you said them things, them things that'll be ringing in her ears right now, your gonna have to live with that not me.
Ronnie stepped back a little, trying to hold herself together as tears ran down her face, she pointed a finger to Archie.
Ronnie: And you ..you are gonna be on your own!
Ronnie growled, Archie continued to throw abuse as Ronnie ran off in search of Danielle.
Danielle wasnt thinking straight or rationally, she had stolen a large bottle of vodka from the slater's and walked off into the night. She walked past the cafe, past the minute mart, knocking back the vodka as if it were going out of fashion. Who needs the Mitchell's eh? Danielle tried to convince herself, she didnt need Ronnie, she had been without her for so long why should she need her now. Danielle couldnt understand how someone could be so mean, how someone could say such nasty words. It put Danielle off Ronnie, she was scared, scared of her own mother. The tears soaked the young girl's face as she continued to walk, she had no clue where she was going, all she knew is that she couldnt stay around here.
Ronnie banged on the Slater's door hoping that Danielle would be there. Stacey walked down the stairs opening the door to Ronnie Mitchell. Ronnie barged through, Stacey stepped aside.
Ronnie: Is she here?
Ronnie quickly walked into the living room to check.
Ronnie: Is Danielle here?
Stacey: She doesnt wanna see you
Stacey shut the door, annoyed that Ronnie had come barging in, annoyed that she had treated her best friend like rubbish.
Stacey: You broke that little girl's heart
Ronnie sighed, begining to get impatient.
Ronnie: Where is she?!
Stacey shrugged her shoulders, facing Ronnie.
Stacey: Well i dunno', she was here a minute ago, she said she was gonna leave but ..
Ronnie quickly cut her off.
Ronnie: Yeah but where has she gone, where has she gone! Where!!
Ronnie shouted grabbing Stacey's arms.
Danielle felt sick, her head was banging with pain, the alcohol had gone straight to her head. Her heart ached, ached for Ronnie to love her, to want her as her daughter. But for Danielle she knew this was never going to happen, she took another mouthful of Vodka, gritting her teeth as she swallowed.
Ronnie had left the Slater's, running off leaving Stacey. Ronnie needed to see Danielle, she needed to explain, explain everything. Ronnie needed to hold her daughter and tell her everything was going to be ok, they could be together again.
Danielle had downed more then half the bottle of Vodka, she was more than worse for wear. Her head snapped to the side, seeing the park, like a small child she walked towards the swings, sitting herself down still clutching the bottle of alcohol.
Ronnie ran as best she could in her shoes, she looked everywhere, around every corner. The tears were flowing, she she thought she had lost the daughter of her dreams forever, she continued running not giving up, not giving up once again on Danielle.
Danielle sat swaying on the swings a little, mumbling to herself as she drank more vodka. It didnt make her feel better, but it blotted out her emotions, she felt cold and emotionless like nothing could touch her, or hurt her.
Ronnie stopped to catch her breath, she leaned down putting her hands on her hips to get rid of the stitch. As she panted she turned right, her eyes widened. There she was, her little girl was there, Ronnie ran towards Danielle with nothing but relief in her mind.
Ronnie: Danielle...
Ronnie shouted as she became closer. Danielle instantly got up, the piercing sound of her mother's voice ecohing inside her head. Danielle turned around, causing Ronnie to immideatly stop on the spot. Danielle stumbled back a little, her eyes were full of tears, she held on to the pole for support. Ronnie felt awful, she couldnt help but feel sick at the state she had put her daughter in.
Ronnie: Baby...
Ronnie whispered loud enough for Danielle to hear. Danielle shook her head, anger building in her eyes, she couldnt forgive Ronnie, not again. There was no way Danielle was going to allow her mother to treat her like this, not again. Danielle took another step back, bringing the bottle to her lips. Ronnie wanted to run over to her baby and hold her in her arms never letting her go, she knew Danielle was at breaking point and the last thing Ronnie needed was for her to run off. Danielle's breathing became heavier the angrier she got.
Danielle: You ... you just go away!
Danielle roared pointing the bottle towards her mother. Ronnie stood still, she wasnt sure what to do.
Ronnie: Danielle .. Danielle listen to me
Ronnie spoke softly not wanting to startle Danielle in any way. Danielle shook her head not wanting to hear anything Ronnie had to say. In a angry rage Danielle hurled the vodka bottle towards Ronnie. Ronnie luckily stepped aside watching the bottle smash onto the road. Ronnie couldnt help but notice how much Danielle was actually like her, she lifted her hands in a sort of surrender to Danielle.
Ronnie: Ok ... ok, Danielle, please, listen to me
Danielle couldnt hear what Ronnie was saying, her breathing was all she heard, her mind felt like bursting. Thinking of everything that had happened, every little word Ronnie had spat at her.
Danielle: Who'd wanna mother like you!
Danielle bellowed, copying Ronnie's words from earlier that evening. Ronnie felt her heart slice in half, she had said this to her own daughter so she understood exactly how her baby felt.
Ronnie: Danielle, i am so sorry, i am so sorry, please
Ronnie took a step towards Danielle, in attempt to make everything alright again. Danielle watched as Ronnie approached her, her head barely able to support itself. Ronnie slowly made her way towards the girl, fearful that she would suddenly run off. Ronnie was now close enough to touch Danielle, she wiped her tears using the sleeve of her coat staring at her little girl.
Ronnie: I am so sorry, what i said i didnt mean it, you have to believe me, i didnt know!
Ronnie felt the tears building in her eyes again, as she continued to watch her crushed daughter. Danielle looked as if she was going to throw up, she was sweating, her eyes were wide and her skin was pale. Ronnie extended her arm towards Danielle's face, her fingertips touching her daughter's face, she cupped her cheek and smiled. Danielle allowed this for a second, then the words raced through her mind again "You pathetic little freak, who'd wanna daughter like you!" Danielle shook her head, turning her face causing Ronnie's hand to slid off her face, she took a step back.
Danielle: No ... no!
Danielle screamed pointing a finger at Ronnie, she stepped back again. Ronnie felt Danielle's pain, she had been waiting for this moment ever since she had given her up for adoption, she had dreamt of having her daugher back in her life. Ronnie always dreamt of holding her daugher once again, but sure as hell she didnt imagine the situation being like this. Ronnie was petrified she was going to loose her baby girl all over again.
Ronnie: Just hear me out .. please, sweetie please
Ronnie stepped forward. Here she was, her little girl, the baby she had cried over night and night again and she didnt want her. Her daughter couldnt stand the sight of her own mother, Ronnie began to sob, she would have begged on her knees to make Danielle believe her.
Ronnie: I didnt know, if you told me, if my dad ..
Ronnie sighed sweeping her fringe to the side, Danielle's eyes were locked with Ronnie's neither of them could look away. The two blondes staring eachother out, suddenly something snapped in Danielle's mind, she made a run for it. Danielle turned around and bolted, as far away she she could from her mother. Ronnie was in shock, she watched her baby run away ... run away from her.
Ronnie: Danielle!!
Ronnie screamed as she sobbed hysterically. Danielle's mind was blank, she had no clue where she was running to. Stacey and Roxy were outside the Vic, the wedding reception was canceled and most the people had left. Roxy was talking to Stacey not quite beleiving the events that had unfolded just moments ago. Roxy caught site of Danielle, her yellow cardigan frantically flapping against the wind. Stacey turns around wondering what has grabbed Roxy's attention.
Stacey: Danielle .. Danielle!
Stacey yelled, her and Roxy stood facing Danielle as she ran towards them. Roxy roughly grabbed Danielle arm, as she tried her best to get past the two. Danielle struggled against her aunt, as Stacey grabbed her other arm.
Danielle: Let go of me!
Danielle commanded, trying to fight off Roxy and Stacey. They dragged her by the arms into the Vic, Stacey quickly locked the door. Danielle was now hystericall, Roxy's hand still gripped tightly to her.
Roxy: Call Ronnie will you!
Roxy glanced at Stacey, not knowing what to do with her niece. Stacey scrolled through her contacts and dialed Ronnie's number. Ronnie was sat in the park, swinging on the swings, knowing she had lost the daughter she had craved for so long. Hearing her phone vibrating in her pocket, she sighed pulling it out.
Ronnie: Stacey, what do you want?
Ronnie answered bluntly.
Stacey: Its Danielle, we've got her at the Vic, you need to come now!
Ronnie hung up quickly making her way towards the pub.
