The Search

"Where could she be, Rox?" Ronnie asked her sister as she looked out of the window. She hadn't been able to get any sleep; she couldn't get the image of Danielle's face, after she chucked her out, out of her mind. She had a chance to be with her Amy and now she's lost her again.

"But why didn't she tell you" Roxy asked confused.

"She tried, she tried loads of times. But i kept pushing her away." Ronnie admitted remembering all the time Danielle asked if they could talk.

"Do you think that's why she asked to baby sit Amy so much?" Roxy asked looking at the sleeping baby in her arms.

Ronnie nodded turning away from the window to look at her sister. "What am i going to do, Rox?" she asked.

"First you need to find her, then let her know that you love her and it will play out from there." Roxy said softly.

"That is some of the best advice you have every said to me"

"Duh, it involves my favourite niece!"

Ronnie walked out of the Vic and nearly everyone turned to look at her. It was then that the whispering started, Ronnie kept her head down as she walked over to the Slater's but froze when she heard a taunting voice behind her.

"Where's Danielle? Is she at the freak club? She might aswell be if her own mother would call her one!" Lucy Beale yelled smirking over at her with Peter giving her an apologetic look.

Ronnie gave Lucy her best dirty look but her heart wasn't in it as she was reminded of what had happened last night. She knocked on the door and waited impatiently until Stacey came to open the door.

"Dan?" she asked as she unlocked it but her face dropped when she saw who it was. "What? She's not here!"

"Can i come in, i need to talk to you" Ronnie said and Stacey gave her a curious look before moving aside to let her in.

Ronnie walked into the living room, uncertain on whether she should sit down or not.

"What do you want Ronnie?" Stacey asked as she walked into the room.

"I need to know where Danielle's house is, I know it's in Telford but i need the actual address."

"Don't bother, i've already called Danielle's dad. He says he hasn't talked to her in days"

"Do you know anywhere where she could be?" Ronnie asked through her teeth. Stacey just shook her head.

"Just go Ronnie, she's not here. I'll help look but i'm not doing it for you" Stacey said firmly.

"Let me know if you hear anything from her...please"

Stacey nodded not trusting herself to speak. Ronnie walked through the gate only to come face to face with Archie.

"Hello sweetheart, how are you?"Archie asked.

"Stay away from me!" Ronnie snarled as she walked past him.

"Look i heard that Danielle is still missing, maybe i could help you look" Archie suggested and Ronnie froze.

She slowly turned around and said in a deadly quiet voice. "You mean nothing to me and you mean nothing to my daughter. And if you go within one mile of my daughter, I'll kill ya!" Then she turned and walked away leaving Archie standing there.

Back at the Slater's house Stacey's phone beeped letting her know someone was calling her. She looked at the caller ID and sighed in relief when she saw who it was.

"Where are you?" She said into the phone "everyone's been going mad! Mum's frantically looking and Ronnie's been here!"

"What did she say?"Danielle asked.

"She's looking for you, asking where you were staying. Speaking of which, where are you staying?"

"I slept rough last night; i can't come back to the square. At least not yet."

"I know a place where you can go" Stacey said "I'll text you the address, 'Kay?"

"Thanks, you're a great friend. Stace, could you not tell anyone where i am please."

"I won't tell anyone, i promise"

"Thanks Stace, i'll see you soon."

"Bye Dan" Stacey said before Danielle hung up.

Stacey put the phone down and sighed, finally happy that she knew where her friend was.
