Can't Get Away: chapter 2
A/N: Sorry about the wait between chapters, I totally forgot about this story till just recently, so here it goes, chapter 2.
When they walked into Danny's apartment, Lindsay soon realized that Danny was indeed a slob. There were clothes scattered everywhere, and the kitchen was amazingly messy.
"Nice place," Stella said sarcastically. She picked up a sock, and threw it in the unused laundry basket by the door.
"Don't judge. I know where everything is, and that's the only important thing," Danny said, following her lead and slowly picking up his clothes and throwing them into the designated area.
"Lets not clean right now. Lets get the girls settled in. They must be tired," Lindsay said. Rochelle gave a nod of agreement and picked up Nicole. Danny walked over to the other side of the apartment, and opened the bedroom door. It was a mess too, but was the best place for the girls to stay. He could sleep on the couch, between the door and the girls.
"Let me get this room cleaned up, and then you guys can rest, while I get back to work," Danny said. He started cleaning, and Lindsay went in to help.
"So, this is your younger sister?" she asked. Danny nodded. "She seems really sweet. Do you mind filling me in on why she's here though?"
"Yeah. She left an abusive husband, and didn't have anywhere else to run. She thought that this would be the best place for her three girls," he explained.
"I see. That's awful, I can't believe anyone would want to hurt the little girls. They're so sweet," she said. Danny nodded again. This was obvious pushing his limits. After his brother and everything, and Aiden dying, this was the last thing he needed to heal.
"Yeah. They are. I think we're done here," Danny had successfully shoved everything on the floor into a box in the closet.
"I'm going to make the bed first," Lindsay said, taking off the sheets, and getting new ones she had seen in the top of the closet. She and Danny unfolded the blankets and sheets, and made the bed.
Danny walked out of the room, and Lindsay straightened out one last pillow and followed him.
