A/N - I forgot my original story line so I've decided to change what's happening in it!

Alice's POV

I miss Danny. It's only been one and a half days but I miss him. The days are lonely without him, he's not at school of course because he's practically left only in for exams. He's coming back for the leaver's assembly but that is it.

So here I am, walking home alone again. I put my key in the door but it opens. Rowan?

"Rowan, what are you doing?" I asked, sighing, I hated this house.

"Warning you to go away." Rowan whispered. "Seriously Alice, don't come in here."

"What?" I asked, appalled at him, he was chucking me out, where the hell would I go?

"Shush!" Rowan whispered. "Dad's on a rampage, I don't want you caught up in it."

"Oh and when have you given a toss about me! You don't care when he's calling me and making me feel like crap! Throwing me around." I yelled even though I was still whispering.

"He doesn't hit you." Rowan spat darkly, his green eyes changing colour.

"No just throws me into walls!" I shrieked, "I need to get in Rowan." I tried to push past him but he wouldn't let me.

"Rowan, move." I said lowly, anger building.

"Why won't you let me protect you Alice?" Rowan asked.

"Because Rowan, because you never have. You know how he treats me. Do you think it's right?" I asked him, looking into his eyes. "Oh do you just pretend not to see it, too happy being daddy's little boy, golden boy!"

Rowan looked away, I'd obviously hurt him but I didn't care. Truth be told I didn't.

"I tried Alice, I tried." Rowan said as he sidestepped and pulled me through the door. I looked at him as he walked off, what was he on?

I walked through slowly into the kitchen, I felt like a prisoner in my own home. No house. This isn't my home.

"So, you return?" Dad asked, his voice menacing, the look in his eyes reminded me of a hungry hyena, eyeing up his next meal, pondering on how to savage it.

"Yes dad." I answered taking a sip from the can of coke I had just opened. He took me by the wrists, his grip so tight my hand froze as the blood couldn't flow to it.

"And you think you can waltz in and out of here like that do you?" Dad asked, I remained silent looking down, in a shell. "Do you?" He bellowed.

"No dad." I said quietly, whimpering as my hand began to turn blue.

"Then why are you, bitch?" He shouted, throwing me against the kitchen wall. I groaned as I felt the hard wall connect with my back, I fell to the ground in agony.

"Answer my question." He bellowed, his voice erupting through the house like an echo.

The fall had winded me, I couldn't breath never mind speak. I looked up at him, his face was a flurry of anger and evilness ran through his grey eyes, they were dull.

"Answer it!" He yelled, kicking me in the ribs, causing me yet more pain. I gasped sharply as I struggled for air.

"I don't know." I managed to hoarsely whisper as I grasped my self as I kneeled over. The pain was terrible, my back hurt and my ribs were pure agony.

"Apologize now you fucking whore of a daughter! Don't think I don't know about you and this Danny bastard." Dad spat, I gasped for breath as I felt tears trying to escape, no don't cry Alice, don't show him you are weak.

"No." I muttered under my breath.

"What did you say, louder!" Dad shouted, kicking me three times in the ribs again.

I was struggling now, I couldn't keep this up, he'd kill me.

"Answer me!" Dad roared like an angry lion. I felt his hand grab my throat and push me up the wall so I was back on my feet, my knees were buckling, he'd kicked the wind out of me, and the live was drained, any spirit I had was gone. He'd never been this violent, I should of listened to Rowan.

"S…" I gasped for breath as his hand tightened, I began to choke.

"Sorry." I managed to whisper.

"Say it again, this time with dad on the end."

Dad never did get his wrist as his grip tightened. I felt myself choke once more as his fist connected with my face, and then darkness consumed me.

Rowan's POV

I'd tried to warn her, why couldn't she listen? Why did she have to be so stubborn! As dad glared at me with his dark eyes, he stormed out the house. How could he do that? Why did he just leave Alice on the floor, unconscious, cant people die from that? I knew I had to act, but what could I do. Ring 999.

Ambulance on it's way I touched Alice's face gently.

"Alice?" I called, tears falling from my eyes. "Alice?"

I felt my heart pound harder in my chest as she remained limp and lifeless, blood soaking her hair and body. Oh my god, no… if they find out dad did this they might send her away, send me away. I can't let that happen. I quickly scooped Alice in my arms and placed her in front of the stairs, before removing all the traces of blood I could and closing the kitchen door and locking it, I hid the key under a plant pot and knelt by Alice. She had to be okay, she'd understand wouldn't she?

I heard a knock at the door as I ran I realised it was the ambulance.

"Where is she sir?" asked the paramedic.

"There… I think she fell down the stairs." I lied hoping it worked.

"Okay sir, we'll know more when we get her to the hospital." The paramedic smiled, a female paramedic patted me. "don't worry she'll be fine."

"She's my sister." I mumbled, "Please help her."

"We will." The paramedic promised "Would you like to come to hospital with her?"

"I'm sorry, I can't…" I lied, shit, that would seem weird, and know more at hospital, what if they worked out she'd been punched as though she'd been an opposing boxer?

"It's okay sir." The paramedic smiled as he lifted her onto a stretcher, you'll be able to come see her I'm sure.

"Yeh," I replied as I watched them take her away.

"Don't come back Alice." I whispered to the air. "God bless her." And then I fell to the floor, and cried.

Danny's POV

7.30pm, last text from Alice… 3.26pm. This was weird. She wasn't on msn, and hadn't responded to my face book messages, emails or texts. Was she ignoring me? I sighed as I tried her mobile once more, not a reply. I looked at my face book profile picture, a picture of me and Alice. I sighed, why wasn't she answering?

I slouched down stairs moodily, and dragged myself into the kitchen, I frowned as I found a packet of crisps and threw myself down into the sofa. I saw Wendy and Pete talking hugged up, I sat and sulked. I wanted Alice. I miss her.

"You remember the day we got together?" Pete asked Wendy, oh brother!

"Yeh, how could I forget, you thought I'd gone off you cos I wasn't answering my phone and really I'd fell down the stairs and couldn't reach it! You saved me, gained a kiss and here we are today." She giggled.

"Yeh, I had ran to your house to try and persuade you I still loved you even though I didn't think you knew." he laughed, "Young eh?"

"Yeh." Wendy sighed. I stood up quickly.

"I'm off out." I mumbled grabbing my coat and kicking some trainers on. I had to see Alice check all was okay.

I literally power walked to her house. God, it seems quiet. I frowned. I knocked on the door.

"Alice!" I shouted, banging louder.

No reply.

"Alice!" I yelled, banging the door, slowly it opened.

"Rowan?" I asked shocked to see him around, he had tears in his eyes and he looked upset, I looked into the kitchen and saw the blood stained walls.

"Where the hell is Alice?" I asked, running through the house. "Alice?" I asked as I opened the door to her bedroom.

"Rowan!" I yelled, I grabbed him by the neck, "Where is she?"

"Put me down" Rowan said calmly, I put him down slowly, as he breathed in as though it reminded him of something.

"She's at the hospital Danny." Rowan spoke with sadness as though he didn't want her to come back.

"What, is your dad ill or hurt?" I asked confused.

He shook his head.

"Alice is. Listen Danny, I can't tell you much, I just can't… she was unconscious, just go Danny, Save her from our dad. I'll pack her stuff up." Rowan promised, he shook my hand. "Look after her please."

"What do you?" I asked, but Rowan cut me off.

"Go, you know how she hates to be kept waiting." Rowan smiled. "I'm doing this out of love for my sister Danny, do it for me as my friend and future brother in law. Please Danny, save her."

And with that Rowan pushed me out and shut the door, I looked at the house for a moment, before sprinting to the hospital, it was four miles away and I had no money, only a fiver nowhere near enough to get me anywhere, save it for food I told myself mentally. I didn't care about the distance, I just ran and ran and ran, until I reached my destination. I gulped…before walking back into the place I called the death trap… because the last time I'd set foot in here, I'd been saying my final farewell to my parents.

A/N - I feel a bit mean, but I said something would happen!
