Chapter 7:- Chances

Several hours later Danielle awoke, her face was hot and sticky from her tears, and her throat was dry, Danielle stood from the sofa, straightened out her jumper and headed into the kitchen, she got out a glass and filled it with water, gulping it down in one. Danielle placed the glass upside down on the draining board and walked back into the living room. She looked down at her rucksack on the floor, her throat became dry again she suddenly realized that when she had fell asleep Ronnie was waiting outside, refusing to leave until they spoke, 'is she still there?, did she stay waiting like she said she would? ' Danielle asked herself questions, as she peered through the curtain, looking out to see if Ronnie was still waiting, Danielle couldn't see her so she presumed that she had got tired of waiting and left. After refusing to leave she'd got up and left walking away from Danielle.

Danielle pulled on her rucksack and headed to the front door, she turned the latch and pulled it open quick, Ronnie fell backwards with a bang onto the floor; she must have been leaning against the door, waiting for Danielle to wake up, to open the door. Danielle couldn't help but giggle, through everything that had happened a small smile spread on her face, her mother was lying on the floor looking up at her after falling into the house. Danielle's mood had changed slightly towards Ronnie she was less angry, the sleep must have made her less moody and calmed her a little.

"Hey, that's not funny" Ronnie joked, trying to lighten the mood, watching Danielle giggling to her self, Ronnie couldn't help but smile, this was the first time she'd ever seen Danielle as her daughter smile, it didn't last, Danielle's smile dropped. "Can we talk please Danielle?" Ronnie asked almost as if she was begging, whilst pulling herself up off the floor.

"There's nothing to say" Danielle exclaimed, rejecting her mother like she'd rejected her over and over again. "Please Danielle, I'm begging you, if you won't do it for me do it for yourself, please." Danielle sighed it seemed like the only way to get rid of Ronnie was to talk, she turned and headed into the living room, sitting down on the sofa placing her rucksack on the chair next to her, making sure Ronnie was unable to sit there.

Ronnie pushed the open front door shut, and took a deep breath, unsure of what to say, she didn't want to mess it up, and this could be last chance she ever got to speak to her daughter, to apologize, to explain her actions. Ronnie stepped into the living room and took a seat opposite Danielle, near the door, just incase Danielle tried to escape.

"Danielle, I know I may have hurt you, and I am truly sorry, I never knew who you where, if I'd have known I wouldn't have treated you this way, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Ronnie explained breaking into tears mid sentence. Danielle looked on tears welling in her eyes, her mother was distraught, because of her, maybe, just maybe she realized how Danielle had felt, after being rejected by her own mother. "Danielle, talk to me baby, please" Ronnie added holding back more tears.

"B...b...Baby, what right have you to call me baby!" Danielle yelled offended by Ronnie's words. "You gave away every right you had, when you gave me away and treated me like dirt!"

Ronnie was shocked what was she to do now, would Danielle ever forgive her. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Please, Danielle don't be like this, you're my daughter, your all I've wanted for the past 19 years, your all I ever wanted, don't be like this, I need you Danielle we can be together, like mother and daughter, spending lots of time together, please just give me a chance, just one chance, please" Ronnie broke down sobbing into her hands, she couldn't hold back the tears, after everything that had happened, all the heart ache she'd been through, this was the worst Ronnie had ever felt since her baby was taken away from her.
