This is going to be a very short chapter as it only includes' Danny's POV when he is going to get help. I want to get across how Danny is feeling when he has to leave Alice. So please read and review. Next chapter should be a lot longer!
Chapter 4 – Guilt
Danny's POV
How could I have left Alice? What have I done? What if anything happens to her? What about Charlotte? How can she live without her mum? These questions just kept going round and round in my head. I left Alice I felt so guilty. How can you leave the person you love when she is in that much pain! I tried to convince myself that I had to leave her to get help. I've never been good with decision making. Every decision I make I always question. I don't believe in God, but I found myself praying that she would live and that I would be able to find her again when I got help.
I normally have a great sense of direction. However tonight I had no idea where I was going. I was panicking too much. I just had to get out of the bush to find some help and save Alice's life. It was so dark. I was scared. The animals would be terrified as well which made it even more dangerous for me to be out in the bush alone. Anything could attack me.
With that thought I heard a rustle behind a bush. I started hyperventilating I wasn't bothered about me being hurt. But if I was knocked unconscious I wouldn't be able to get help and save Alice's life. If she didn't get help she would die. She's too severally hurt. She's lost a lot of blood. I fired a shot into the air to scare whatever it was away. I couldn't lose Alice. I had to keep strong, keep up hope, keep going, and do whatever it took to save her life. She would have done the same for me. I wonder what she would have done if I was hurt would she have stayed with me or gone for help. She's a better person than me so she would have stayed with me she wouldn't have left me on my own, unconscious with no protection, where any animal could hurt me. I shouldn't have left her. I've come this far I need to keep going. I need to find the road and soon. The longer it takes me to get help the less chance she has of survival.
She has to survive. She can't die. I won't let her. She means the world to me. I love her more than I've ever loved anyone. I need Alice without her I am nothing. I don't know how I would carry on my life if she died. I stopped myself there I couldn't think negative thoughts I had to be positive. She would be fine. She has to be…
I fell into a river as I was lost in my thoughts and wasn't concentrating on where I was going. This would get me killed. I had to concentrate on where I was going. If i didn't it was no good for anyone especially Alice. She was relying on me. I couldn't let her down not now, not ever. I was soaked when I got out. I didn't care. I heard the sound of a car going past. I sprinted towards the sound. I saw the road and a car. I'd never been so happy to see a road ever in my life.
"STOP!" I yelled praying it would stop.
I ran onto the road but I was too late I just collapsed onto the floor and let the tears that have been threatening to fall for hours fall. It was the best hope I had of saving Alice and I'd been too slow. She could die now because of me and it was all my fault. I've never felt so guilty in my whole life. I couldn't live with myself if she died because of me.
My thoughts stopped automatically when the car's reverse lights came on it was coming back I'd never been so thankful to anyone. I don't care who it was as long as it gave me a good chance to save Alice. I just hope and pray that I'm not too late to save Alice…
Sorry it's so short but I felt like I needed to write a short chapter about how Danny coped when he was searching for help. As you notice it is very similar to how Alice helped Danny in the original episodes. This will become clear in a few chapters…. Thanks for all your reviews. They mean a lot!
