There was a nock on the Slater's door, and Stacey rushed to answer it. No-one else was in. Jean was on the flower stall, Charlie was out in the taxi and Mo was with Elvis. For once, the Slater house was quiet, and peaceful. Unlike the times where Little Mo, Kat and Zoe were once living there. It was nice for Stacey, having Danielle around the place. Someone Stacey could relate to. In a way, Stacey was scared that in the long run, Danielle would be lost to Ronnie. She could never have the latest gossip with the best friend at ridiculous times in the morning. Danielle was like a sister to Stacey, someone who however annoying she was, Danielle was always there for her. Stacey knew that Danielle should be with Ronnie, but it didn't stop these thoughts.
As soon as Stacey had opened the door, Ronnie and Roxy had barged into the house. This shocked Stacey but she didn't want to act surprised 'Come in why don't you,' Stacey thought. Stacey then reasoned 'They're Mitchell's, what do you expect?' but she realised that now Danielle was a Mitchell. Her best friend, related to the people who made her brother's life hell. Her best friend. She was doing this for her best friend. Everything was all confused in Stacey's mind, on one hand she wanted Danielle to be happy, and possibly that happiness would come if Danielle began to know Ronnie, but then again what about her own happiness? Would she be happy if she hardly ever saw her best friend, Stacey took care of Danielle, now Danielle was just going to leave her? What about Stacey?
'Where is she?' Roxy whispered to Stacey, she could tell from the previous phone call that Danielle didn't know that Stacey had rang them; she had enough sense to know that she needed to stay quiet. For once in her life, Ronnie followed suit, anything to see her daughter again. Just to know that she was ok.
'Asleep,' Stacey replied, 'She just fainted on me after having a right go about the fact I knew before she did,' Stacey sighed, this wasn't going to be a fun ride, but Stacey needed to know where she stood before they worked out what to do next.
'Sorry Stacey,' Ronnie whispered, 'Kinda didn't have the chance to say that you knew,' This time Roxy was shocked, Stacey knew before herself and Danielle knew? What was going on?
The three women were unbeknown to the fact Danielle had woken up and was just outside the hallway, listening to every word going on. She was good at the game she played when she was younger, but she had no idea how useful it would be now. She was angry at Stacey for calling them over, for knowing before she did, but she still love her, because Stacey had kept Danielle safe, given her a job, somewhere to live. A best friend couldn't get any better than that. She knew that she needed to talk now, because Danielle did want answers, and this was all about her. Not that she liked it in anyway. Danielle would much rather listen to other people's problems than be centre of attention.
'How come Stacey knew?' She questioned, walking into the hallway making the triangle Roxy, Ronnie and Stacey were already in now a square. Ronnie had no idea what to say, she just couldn't stop staring at her daughter. She looked so beautiful.
'She told me last night, to make sure you went home with her rather than with me,' Stacey replied, although she knew the question wasn't directed at her. She could tell that Ronnie couldn't speak, 'Right, lets go into the living room, I'll make some drinks,' so Stacey left the square in the hallway. It wasn't about her, although it was all happening in her house, it wasn't about her.
'Come on then,' Danielle said, although it was in monotone. She didn't really know what to say first. Now awake, she remembered the previous events, and she over reacted. It wasn't hard not too, having genes from a Mitchell.
Roxy followed Danielle though she was looking at Ronnie. Danielle was at least talking, Roxy had thought that she would be screaming the house off like Roxy did when she was angry, but it wasn't anything like that. Maybe she was more like her adoptive parents, who never shouted the odds, or maybe she wasn't angry.
Ronnie also followed Danielle, it was amazing, to see her daughter there. But she knew everything from now on was on her daughters terms, not that she minded. Danielle was there, in the same house, possibly even talking to her. It was something amazing that Ronnie had thought never to happen ever again. She thought that Danielle would never want her, and this thought deepened whilst at the flat, but now she was where Danielle had been living, and right now, she didn't want to be any where else.
A definite filler chapter I think but please, still review. Thanks x
