It was getting late. Danny had phoned Shauna a few hours ago asking her to bath Lexi and out her to bed in his room. She'd asked how Alice was. Danny had told her that she was fine. What he hadn't told her was that the doctor were worried coz she was waking up! He'd heard them whispering, she should have woken up hours ago!
When he'd phoned home he'd also asked his mum if Shauna could stay with Lexi and if James stay in the spare room. She'd said fine. Mrs Carr had went home to explain about Alice to Lexi. He'd said he would but she said that if he got upset it would scare her. To be honest he felt the same but she was his daughter he should have told her but she'd insisted. She had returned and brought his and Alice's I-pods with her. He sat and talked to her the silence had creeped him out he'd found himself counting the beeps on her machine so he'd decided to talk to her again. Half the time he didn't know what he was doing. He just nattered on about anything. He'd found himself having a half hour conversation about smarties for gods sake!
A doctor came in checked her vitals and flashed a light in her eyes. Her face twitched in reaction to that.
"Look did you see that she moved!" he exclaimed.
"Instinctive reaction. Perfectly normal!"
Way to burst my bubble! Danny thought bitterly.
He was going home soon. His daughter needed him at home. He, Mrs Carr and Shauna were going to take turns with Alice. He never wanted her to be alone. He also needed to get in touch with Lexi's school. Although it was Sunday tomorrow she would need to go back Monday. Eventually he would have to think about going back to Cambridge with her but he couldn't bear the thought of leaving Alice! So the plan was stay here with Alice till 5am. Get back in time to shower, spend the day with Lexi then come back here. God why had he let her go to the shop? He should have went, now his gorgeous Alice wouldn't wake up and no-one knew why! He turned on her I-pod and fast forwarded to Papa Roach - Lifeline. He then laid the ear phones next to her ear and let the song play. They had bonded again over that song. She'd told him that certain lines in the song held significant meaning to her. Like the last line in the first verse, when it said blaming themselves for what was going wrong. She had blamed herself for a long time she'd told him. And how she pushed away the people she loved. The second verse to her was when Lexi was born and she helped rip the walls down she'd built slowly. How she'd went to Mrs Carr and asked for help dealing with her pregnancy. Her falling to the ground and seeing the light was her finally realising that she needed help. The light was of course her baby girl. A pure white innocent angel. To Danny it had been obvious she had spent a lot of time thinking over the lyrics of the song and it was obvious a special song to her. He checked his watch. It was 9 o'clock.

Alice sat in the dark room. Her mood growing darker by the second. They passed agonisingly slow. Ok if this was nightmare it was stupidly long! She mostly sat and though about the last thing she remembered. Driving her car singing stupidly along with a song. She couldn't remember what song though. She remembered was the sound of glass shattering. Everything else is just a blur of images melded together in a flurry of colour. She got up and paced and walked into the wall again. What the hell? This room had been bigger! She walked from one end of the room to the other counting her steps as she went. 10 paces. It had definitely been more than 10 paces before. Fucking great not only was she stuck in a room with no possible means of escape. The fucking place was shrinking too! She suddenly saw a flash of light in front of her eyes. She blinked and shook her head.t had happened again. They lasted a second. Thy had illuminated the room then were gone. "Is someone being fucking funny out there?" she yelled irate. Again no reply. Alice punched the wall in frustration. She had to get home. To her daughter. To Danny.
"O so he finally crosses your mind!" A voice said angrily.
"Huh? Whose there?" Alice asked spinning around.
"Your so fucking selfish Alice! You don't care about him I do! I wouldn't of kept his child from him all those years!"
That voice was so familiar. "Who the hells talking to me?" she yelled.
"Admit it you don't love him!" the voice shouted.
"Fuck you!" Alice shouted back and sat down to brood.
"He didn't deserve what you did to him. All he ever did was love you and you ran away! And I know your planning on doing that again!" the voice told her.
"Shut up I'm not talking to a faceless voice!" Alice told them. "For all I know I'm loopy and your in my head!"
Keep going Alice. You could be in a mental asylum and there monitoring you and your talking to thin air. You'll be in a padded cell by the end of the day proving to them that your insane!
"You know me I'm not faceless!" the voice replied.
"I admit I recognise your voice but I don't know who you are!" Alice said. "Tell me who you are!"
"I'm not surprised you've forgotten me!" the voice told her.
"Will you stop with all this mysterious shit it's annoying me!" Alice yelled angrily.
"Now there's the Alice I know. Who'd kick anybodies ass who tried to mess with her. Where she been?" the voice asked.
"Yup I know her too." A second voice said.
Alice would know that voice any where. Her head whipped around. "Danny?" she asked.
"Where have you been? Where's the girl I love?" he asked.
"She's right here Danny!" Alice replied.
"No she's not!" both voices told her simultaneously.
"Why you planning on leaving him again?" the female voice asked. "Can't you see that'll kill him?"
"I'm not Danny I swear I'm not!" Alice said ignoring the first voice. "Don't listen to her!"
"What happens if it comes back that Lexi isn't his daughter. If he isn't her father?" the voice asked nastily.
Alice stood frozen to the spot.
"I knew it. I would never have done that to him. Your not good enough for him!" the voice spat.
"Shut up. You know nothing about us. This has nothing to do with you!" Alice yelled.
"I should have known you'd leave me again. I expected as much you know. Your promises never did mean much!" Danny said sadly.
Alice grabbed her head. "Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP!" Alice shouted. "Both of you!"
The voices quieted. Alice sat back down and thought about stuff.
"It's not fair to ask him to bring up a child whose not his ok!" Alice said. Great she really was insane. Talking to voices which were probably in her head.
"What about the child that IS his?" the voice replied.
"I'll never keep it from him. But if Lexi isn't there's nothing we can do. I can't expect him love her." Alice said softly.
"Isn't that HIS decision?"
The room suddenly got a little bit brighter.
"Why don't you love him anymore?" the voice asked.
"I do!" Alice replied.
"Not enough to share your daughter though. Admit it as much as you want him to be her father you also don't want him to be coz you resent having to share her. You want to go back to your peaceful little existence with no-one else except you and her."
God was this person in Alice's head. They knew exactly what she was thinking! The room again got a little bit brighter again. Alice made out a figure sitting on the bed. The face shrouded in darkness, although they had their back to her. She looked around the room. Wait a minute she knew this room. This was Danny's room. 5 years ago! She noticed the door, walked towards it. She forcefully pulled it open and was looking at a brick wall. What the hell? Alice thought.
"Running away again!" the person said in disgust.
Alice was well pissed now! She stormed over. Stood behind the person on the bed. "You know nothing about me so stop the psycho analysis huh!" she yelled.
The person swivelled round. Alice gasped.
She was so not expecting that!
