After a sleepless night Matt rose from his bed tiered and exhorted but
above all else scared and extremely worried. He pulled himself out of the
warmth of the bed and into the lime bathroom that was across the landing.
As he emerged from the bathroom he headed back to the room he had
previously been in. On his way he noticed a photo embedded in a silver
frame. He walked over to the shelf and picked up the photo of Danielle,
Rebecca, Adam and Jay. He observed the photo carefully it looked recent. He
took in the happiness that was evident from these four people's faces.
Gently, he rubbed his thumb over Danielle's beaming face. He couldn't
believe how happy she looked yet deep down how torn up she must have been
feeling.
Suddenly Matt felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped, causing himself to drop the picture, which landed abruptly on the carpeted floor. Matt spun around quickly and saw the welcoming face of Rebecca.
"Sorry if I scared you," she apologised worried she had startled Matt.
"No, not at all," he reassured her. "Did I wake you?" he asked concerned as he bent down to pick up the picture he had previously dropped.
"No," Rebecca smiled. She looked at the picture Matt was retrieving off the ground. "That was a great day out," she commented.
Matt smiled as his eyes wandered back over the picture. "She looks so happy," he stated as his eyes fell upon the image that was his daughter.
"I know. She's a great kid, you must be relieved to have finally met her," she said thinking back to the conversation she had had with Danielle before she had ran away.
"Yeh, I'm just sorry it came to this," Matt told her, putting the photo back upon the wooden shelf he had previously got it from.
Rebecca turned around and walked down the stairs wrapping her silk dressing gown around her. Matt followed. He had only known Rebecca less then a day but he had warmed to her and he knew that Jeff liked her. "Before Dan went she said she was disappointed she wasn't given the chance to get to know you but she was afraid of hurting Adam and Jay's feelings," Rebecca told him as she walked into the kitchen. "She thought, since she didn't see you, that you didn't want anything to do with her," she added. She thought Matt should know this, as it might be some comfort to him, knowing that his daughter did care about him.
Matt was touched. "I did want to get to know her, there were just obstacles," Matt said referring to Adam and Jay as the 'obstacles'. He'd decided against arguing with Adam and Jay, as he knew it wouldn't improve the situation one bit.
"Coffee?" Rebecca asked switching on the white jug kettle.
"Yeah, please," Matt replied. The fact that Dan thought he didn't want anything to do with him bugged him slightly. "Why did she think that?" Matt asked.
"She said it was because of the day you took her backstage at the WWE event," Rebecca explained handing Matt a steaming hot cup of coffee.
"Oh," Matt replied taking a sip of his coffee going into an uncontrollable train of thoughts.
