Finally done. Anyhow More and mores coming out and finally the end is in sight i think there is oooh 3 more chapters to it =] hope you like it. I hope i got across the point that although the awkwardness was there, where Ronnie and Danielle have already been seperated once before to be torn apart again could have serious implications. Both depend on each other as they've both wanted each other for so long.

Squinting her eyes towards the alarm clock lying next to her Danielle looked on in utter frustration and let out an exasperated groan as she gradually came to acknowledge she was late for the stall. Again. Two weeks had since passed from when Ronnie had decided to up and leave without a word to anyone - even Roxy had been left in the dark. Reaching over to the glass of water beside her Danielle groggily downed the lot, carefully peeling herself up from her bed she looked slowly down disappointedly at the man who had been sleeping soundly beside her. Oh Chris why did you have to come here, again I mean really Danielle couldn't believe how much she was actually beginning to fall for him - after all here was a man who had got her into a particularly bad habit and didn't intend on stopping her getting further into it.

And now, worst of all the habit was making her constantly feel ill in the mornings and she knew she had to stop the smoking "gear" as Chris put it, but she felt good when she did it and that was all the that mattered she supposed.

Danielle hastily made her way to the bathroom as she felt the repercussions of last night begin to surface, wrenching up bright red vomit into the toilet Danielle began to realize that maybe the reasons behind her sickness may not actually be the drugs. She picked herself up and looked hard into the mirror ; her eyes looked an awful blood shot colour and along with her dreg like hair both combined made herself look a real mess. Well I'll at least try to appear normal and well I guess and so Danielle began putting herself back on track with a long - thought provoking shower. But all the make up in the world couldn't help her stop feeling like hell.

Once she had struggled into her clothes and forcefully consumed a substantial breakfast Danielle headed out, she carefully peered through at a still sound Chris I'll have to sort him out later - he really needs to leave before or if Ronnie comes back. And although she knew Chris wasn't the best boyfriend material she smiled and tilted her head in a loving fashion whilst watching him sleep on.

"Alright Stace" spoke an overly cheery sounding Danielle as she approached her rather irritated looking best friend.

"Yea fine thanks… Mind you Id be better with some help here -" Replied Stacey slightly less irritated as she pointed to a box for Danielle to unpack "But you know help before half ten is preferred -seriously Dan that Chris guy he was only supposed to be a one night thing-".

"I know Stace but he's just always there" sighed Danielle as she heaved open the incredibly over sealed box "Plus I think I might like him you know - he's really nice".

"He can be nice just from a distance you don't want to get yourself- you know- again-" Stacey glanced down at Danielle's stomach tactfully whilst punters came and went "Cos Ronnie aint here to exactly help you is she - how are you paying all the bills anyway?"

"Im not - that's just another problem to add to my list-" spoke a solemn looking Danielle miserably "Its all getting a bit hard now you know"

"Look lets go get a coffee and you can discuss with me how your going to move your stuff back into my place - yea? Gives you a break from Chris don't it" Stacey offered her arm out for Danielle to link with and Danielle openly greeted it with a laugh as she began smile the biggest smile she had worn in at least a year. Danielle did a lot for my mum when I was in trouble now its my turn reasoned a rather worried Stacey.

Making her way happily across the square and into the Vic, Danielle began to think about all the good times her and Stacey used to have sharing a room together, Stacey was good friend and a the whole idea towards living with Slaters seemed idyllic - especially after the passed few weeks of either being totally monged or totally lonely at Ronnie's. Swinging open the Vics door cheerily with a smile spreading across her face like wild fire Danielle was reasonably gutted to say the least when the greeting off her aunt was less then disheartened . "Whats the matter with you Rox - your looking a bit annoyed actually" probed Danielle cheerily "Well Danielle Ronnie's back and well - we've seen the flat - the state that place is in Dan your lucky Ronnie hasn't had kittens yet! Not to mention that guy you've been seeing was there …" Roxy replied as flatly as she could but neither of them could deny the tone of anger wasn't there . "Oh my god, is Ronnie mad? I only had him round last night I promise - but Ronnie why's she suddenly back anyway" gasped a worried filled Danielle as thoughts began circling in her head I should have listened to what Jack said weeks ago, Ronnie's really in trouble I can tell but I dunno -

"I guess I just couldn't cope you know I needed company an-" Danielle whispered the last sentence almost in a dream like fashion, she could feel Roxy's eyes burning through her but she couldn't help but purely look on she was amazed she had let everything get so bad as it was let alone Ronnie actually being back. Her eyes kept darting wearily everywhere possible but in front of her - but then she felt it - the repercussions rising again. All the blood drained from her face and all Danielle could think to do was to race to the toilets leaving a completely bewildered looking Roxy standing at the bar.

"Danielle- Where are you Dan - which loo you in" spoke a rather cautious sounding Roxy as she entered the toilets, as she peered around the first cubicle there enough sat a deathly looking Danielle "Roxy -" she whimpered meekly and as Roxy bent down to comfort her distraught looking niece she added " I think I'm pregnant - Ive felt like this before - I think- I know I'm pregnant" Roxy stared hard into space registering what Danielle had actually just said, and as she repositioned herself and her mini skirt she knelt in closer she couldn't help but cast her mind else where to how Ronnie was going to take this revelation. Especially now off all times…

"Stacey! Stace -" Screeched an overly anxious sounding Veronica Mitchell as she graciously paced quickly over towards the run down clothes stall.

"Ronnie?! - Aren't you supposed be-" responded a slightly dumbfounded Stacey in a surprisingly cheery tone.

"- Look now is not the time to be asking me questions Stacey - there is a man lighting up a spliff in MY dining room and Danielle is neither here or there so help me find her - please" rudely cut in Ronnie in an obvious sort of desperation, and as she deeply exhaled blowing her fringe upwards Stacey quickly put her worries to rest

"She should be over at the Vic - she's gone to see your sister I think -" Stacey looked on at Ronnie as she slowly seemed to calm herself from the inside out "Stacey, who is that man - just tell me that at least" spoke a rather more relieved Ronnie.

"His names Chris- Ronnie she really seems to like him - but hang on a second-" Stacey's tone seemed to harden with this pause and her voice slowly shrunk to harsh bitter tone "- You wouldn't know that would you? Been off in what was it - Ibiza I'm guessin -You even left Dan to pay your own bills you selfish cow!" Stacey ended her outburst with her finger pointed directly in Ronnie's face. And as the fingers presence lingered Ronnie's face flattened and her eyes melted into emptiness as her gaze lowered down, Stacey continued to glare at her even when she had begun to walk away - looking utterly defeated and worn out.

Ronnie angrily swung open the Vics doors and in a violent fashion slammed them closed behind her almost smashing the glass within them. She stormed out around the punters and into the bar serving area, totally ignoring whispers and lingering stairs, pouring herself a rather large vodka shot Ronnie eventually looked on at her now visible sister. "Ron - she's here, Danielle's upstairs in a right state- Ronnie come here…" Roxy stood before Ronnie looking at her in such a worry it was as if Ronnie was about to break. Roxy grabbed her sister hard into a hug and whispered in her ear "Ron - I know what trouble your in but believe me - she and you - your in the same boat. You need each other."
