"Sleep well?" Ronnie asked smiling as Danielle came walking through in to the living room, she nodded in response "yeah I did...been thinking a lot about today" she trailed off looking at the clock, today was the day they were both going to visit her dad in Telford, before they both left to go to Ibiza. "It's going to be alright" Ronnie walked up to Danielle giving her a smile and rubbing her gently on the arm. "We can leave in a few hours, what do you want for breakfast?" Danielle shrugged; "Cereal I guess" Ronnie could tell Danielle was nervous; she gently reached down to hold her hand.
"It's going to be fine, don't worry about it, if you don't want to go we don't have to..." Danielle shook her head "I have...we have to go...I just need to see him" Danielle stuttered, Ronnie nodded. Danielle walked in to the kitchen Ronnie took a deep breath, Danielle might not be ready for this, she only hoped she could help her daughter more.
An hour had passed, Ronnie and Danielle sat on the sofa, Danielle had been talking more about her dad and stuff that had happened in the past, still so many things that Ronnie didn't know of, things about Danielle's life that intrigued her and made her want to learn more about her life. "I guess I'm just scared to how he might react...I don't want him to think its a bad idea what I'm doing...I mean going away with my mum is something I've only dreamed of, he might be upset and think that I've forgotten about my...other mum and i don't want him to be disappointed in me" Ronnie shook her head "He won't be disappointed with you, how can he be? It's only natural that you want to...move on, he should accept that, no matter what he says or thinks I'll always be here and you're not a disappointment, i don't care if you decided you don't want to go to Ibiza or don't want to go to your dads, no matter what you choose I'll be there with you and if you need me I'll be there for you, i won't ever leave you"
"Thanks" Danielle spoke softly, resting her head on Ronnie's shoulder for brief moment, she shut her eyes for some reason feeling very tired, maybe due to the fact that she had lied, she had no sleep last night at all, every moment she thought of everything that could go wrong, that will go wrong everything always did and she knew that it would happen at the worst moment and Ronnie would want her anymore. Danielle felt Ronnie's hand slowly stroking her hair, Ronnie must think she was asleep or something, despite the growing relationship between them there were a few awkward moments and sometimes Ronnie would whisper to Danielle when she thought she was asleep, things that made Danielle feel so much better about herself.
"I know you keep worrying but I'm there with you, it's ok we don't have to leave yet, you can rest if you want, I'll wake you in an hour or two" Ronnie whispered, stroking Danielle soft hair slowly, unable to remember the last time she was this happy.
Danielle had so many thoughts rushing around her head, each second she felt more tired until she slowly lost the fight to stay awake, Ronnie was still stroking Danielle's hair and now she felt her eyes shutting, becoming too heavy to stay open she reluctantly shut here eyes and then slowly fell in to a deep sleep, only the faint whispering of Ronnie could be heard as she slowly began to dream about visiting Telford, a dream that she was so familiar with, the dream she had countless times last night, her dad's face as her opened the door, his reaction when Danielle told him everything and then Ronnie being hurt by everything her dad had said before leaving Danielle on her own.
Ronnie listened to the peaceful sounds Danielle made as she slept, her gentle breathing was the only sound in the room, moments like this made Ronnie feel like much more of a mother than she ever wanted to be, this was another one of those perfect moments, in a few hours she and Danielle would set off to Telford, then Ronnie had the chance to prove to Danielle's dad that she was a good mother to Danielle and that she really cared about her. This was her chance to prove how much she loved her daughter, once and for all.
