A/N: Hi, I'm back! Sorry I haven't updated, but I've been quite ill recently because of all the stress I've been putting on myself. But I'm back now!

Disclaimer: See previous chapters, there'll be one around somewhere.

The car journey was quite uneventful, but Lindsay kept snuggled up close to Danny for almost the entire ride, and about halfway through the journey, Max looked back to see Lindsay asleep on Danny's chest, with Danny resting his head upon hers. With his arms tightly encircling her waist, it looked like Danny was protecting Lindsay out of instinct whilst asleep.

Even though the car journey was quite uneventful, when they arrived at Lindsay's parents' home, that was all going to change. When they arrived, Max awoke Danny, who in turn woke up Lindsay from the best sleep that she had probably had in a while.

They walked through the door, and were instantly greeted by Lindsay's parents, Simon and Lucy Monroe. Lindsay automatically went over to her parents to give them a hug, but they both stepped harshly back, and refused to provide their daughter with the comfort that she desperately needed.

Lucy started arguing with Lindsay. "How dare you act like you aren't at fault here? When you phoned me you said that you had been feeling twinges all day, but never thought anything of it! Well, Milli was being tortured during that time, and you just dismissed it! You could have saved her life! Did you know that Milli was attacked by her boyfriend? He was a criminal! You could have told him that he was bad news!"

By now Lindsay had enough. Stepping back within reach of Danny, she gripped his hand, and replied angrily, "Yes, I never thought anything of those twinges, because of my injuries, so I apologise for focusing on my health for a little bit of my life. No, I couldn't have saved her life, as I am not her keeper, which is why I didn't run a background check on her boyfriend! I'm sorry Mom, Dad, but now I need to go and get changed." And with that she went up to her room, leaving a confused Danny behind. What injuries was she on about?

The funeral was absolutely awful, and not just for the obvious reasons. Lindsay was separated from the rest of her family, and received a mixture of looks from the other mourners there, some sympathetic, and some looked as though they were repulsed by the sight of her. Danny provided support, as did Max when he could get away from their parents, but Lindsay was desperate to feel her mother's arms holding her close, her father stroking her hair, and both of them trying to reassure her that everything was going to be okay. Instead of the comforting looks she wanted, she received looks that could burn holes in stone. She wanted to be in the family again, because in her heart she knew now that she had the support of Danny and Danny only. And that was going to be hard.

When they got back to the house, Lindsay went up to her room, taking Danny with her. They sat down on the bed and Danny pulled her close, trying to fill that void in her heart that her parents had left.

"How are you holding up?" he asked gently.

Lindsay shook her head. "I'm not. I want to see Milli. I can't cope alone. Max is trying, but I need a woman to talk to who understands me."

Danny nodded. "Lindsay, I don't want you to think that I am prying, but what injuries were you talking about before the funeral?"

Lindsay stood up and stared at him in disbelief. "I don't believe you! We have just returned from my sister's funeral, and instead of being there and comforting me, you're just trying to get the answers to questions that don't need answering! How dare you?"

Now Danny did something that he shouldn't have. He let his temper get the better of him. "Well, you know what then? I'm done here! I've been there for you ever since your sister died. I've been at your beck and call and I've even used up my vacation time to come to Montana with you to help you through your sister's funeral. Well, I'll tell you one thing! Your family is even worse than mine. And you know what?" He leant forward. "I bet your precious twin sister was just as bad."

Lindsay stood there, looking at him in shock. She desperately searched his eyes for any inclination that what he said was just a sick joke, but she found nothing. Just anger. So she replied frostily and sadly, "Well, you can go back to New York now if I am such an inconvenience. I'll stop wasting your time. Enjoy your life." And with that she walked out the door.

Danny stared after her in a panic. What did she mean when she told him to enjoy life? Then his eyes widened in shock. Surely she wouldn't -? He didn't want to take any chances, so he grabbed his coat and opened the door, searching frantically for anything that could suggest where she might be.

Nothing.

I have to find her, he thought. I have to find her before she does something stupid.

A/N: Well there's the next chapter! I will start Chapter 10 tonight but I don't know when it will be uploaded, as I'm not getting much inspiration lately, as you can probably tell by my poor writing standards!

I appreciate lots of you have put my stories onto alert and favourites, but please could you just leave a short review. It doesn't have to be long, I'd be happy with just one word, but I'm not getting many reviews at the moment. Thank you loads!!
