Ok, so thewattsrule has forced me into writing more...it was originally a one-shot...and both of us aren't writers...so it should be interesting...if anyone has idea's or want to help to write it...please tell me :D I also changed the title as I realised there was another story with the same title.

Roxy looks at the paramedics who place Ronnie on the gurney and put an oxygen mask on with disbelief. Ronnie wasn't dead...just...lifeless. As she is holding Danielle, she asks the paramedics what is happening. They don't reply, just rush off with the sirens blaring. She and Danielle look at each other in shock. Both knowing that they needed to get to the hospital; they stood up and started towards the Vic.

"I'm so sorry Roxy...Please let me take you...It's the least I can do"

Both were shocked that Janine was still there. Roxy didn't think she'd be able to drive anyway so she warily guided Danielle into the back seat, asked Stacey to tell her family and got into the front seat.

Throughout the journey, Roxy had her hand outstretched behind her, holding Danielle's hand.

Danielle's POV

I'm so tired. All I want to do is see if Ronnie is ok. The car ride is so silent. I will never forgive Janine if Ronnie has long lasting damage...or worse. I am holding Roxy's hand. It's a comfort but strange. I've imagined being Ronnie's daughter and Amy's cousin...but never stopped to think about the relationship me and Roxy...my auntie would have.

When we finally arrive in the hospital, Roxy and I enter holding hands with Janine following closely behind. We walk over to the desk.

"Where's my sister...Veronica Mitchell? She got ran over...is she alright" I squeezed Roxy's hand as reassurance; to calm her down.

"She's in surgery...sit in the waiting room she won't be out for a few more hours"

We both let out a breath I hadn't realised I was holding. I was so sure she was dead. I lay on three chairs and Roxy sat on the chair next to my head and started playing with my hair. I still hadn't said anything. I don't know what to say and I think Roxy understands that. I vaguely notice Janine sitting on the other side of the room biting her nails.

"how bout you go to sleep yeah? I'll wake you up as soon as I hear summat"

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

I nod in acknowledgment and close my eyes. But I can still hear everything around me and I can't sleep. I try not to think what has happened because I feel so drained. I try thinking of a time I was happy. With stace. At home. But it all kept coming back to Ronnie...and what had happened. I can't sleep. I stand up aware that Roxy has her eye on me. I start pacing and think of Ronnie some more. I try to think of good times with her, but there were so few. It leads to all the bad things that were said.

"yes...if I had an abortion, my life would be much better"
"you stupid little freak"
"you're odd"
"Who would want a daughter like you"

I can understand her calling me a freak and saying the last one. She didn't know who I was...she was angry because I got her guard down. Talking out of anger. But why would she say that having an abortion would be better? To reassure me? I don't know.

And the tears come streaming down on your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

I'm crying and Roxy immediately sits me down and starts asking me what is wrong. To be honest....I'm just scared...I have so many questions to ask and all I want is my mum. I might not get that. The gaping hole that had just started to close when I met Ronnie would be opened once again and never be healed again. I already lost one mum...and this was my only other chance. I love her...but will she ever know how much? I just want to hold her.

I know I've been needy over the last couple of months, since the abortion, but I don't feel I can confide in Roxy. She is different than Ronnie and Archie and I am embarrassed to seem so needy all the time. I'm fed up. From now on...it's me against the world.


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

The doctor comes out and tells us that Ronnie is fine. Well; she has a broken leg and a fractured wrist...but that's better than dead. Right? I can't stop the smile creeping across my face as me and Roxy hug each other. I see Janine walking over to us to ask how Ronnie is and I lose it.

"You nearly killed my mum...you don't deserve to know...Just go...I never want to see you again"
Roxy looks stunned; and nowhere near as angry with Janine as I am. Maybe it's just a momentary thing but I don't think I will forgive Janine for running over the most precious person to me in the whole wide world.


Lights will guide you home

Roxy and I slowly walk over to Ronnie's room to find her just waking up. She looks directly at me and I suddenly feel very nervous. Roxy decides to wait outside as I sit in the chair next to Ronnie.


Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

We both just look at each other, taking in one another's appearance. She has a huge gash on her face and a cast on her right wrist and her left leg. She has other bruises around her face and arms, and probably more around her body. I then look at her features and realise that we look very similar. I smile at that and a little tear rolls down my face. I see Ronnie smiling in return.


Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Ronnie's POV

I open my eyes to see Roxy and Danielle walking towards me; but I only have eyes for Danielle. My daughter. She sits beside me and I just stare at her. She has my hair and my eyes and my unmistakeable lips. Why did I never notice this? I was close to her so many times physically but I just didn't want to know. I come out of my daydream to find Danielle analysing me just as I had her. A few minutes later I become a little scared as a tear rolls down her face. But then she smiles at me. I know that I will never make the same mistake again. I won't lose her again and I definitely will not keep that stupid exterior I have...it gets me nowhere. I smile back at her to let her know every thing's alright. I'm gunna support her and mostly...I am going to do my best to fix her. To get rid of all the insecurity I have bestowed upon her.
