Danielle had been eyeing her sister all night. Watching her facial expressions as she pretended to be watching TV.
She knew that Connie had been thinking about him. She didn't care about Danielle or anyone else in their family. All she cared about was herself.
No one understood Danielle's pain and suffering at the hands of Guy. Her last boyfriend Josh had understood for a brief period of time but then it drove him away, it drove her boyfriend at the time, William away into the arms of another girl and she was paranoid that it would drive Scott away too.
Scott was her knight in shining armour, he was her rock.
All those years of envying her best friend Kelly for what she had with her boyfriend, Adam, all those years of wishing she was the one with the boyfriend and had the relationship that people were jealous of.
Now that Kelly had ruined things with Adam by cheating on him, it was Danielle that had the envy of Kelly now and Danielle loved every minute of being in reign.
Scott had phoned her earlier but she was in no mood to talk. She was worn out from the family discussion yesterday that had resulted in her winning the right to disallow Connie to see Guy.
Yes she thought I finally got one up over Connie. She was sick and tired of how her father saw Connie as the golden girl. Connie was the one who could do no wrong even after Connie had betrayed the entire family
Danielle made her excuses and followed Connie out of the door at a safe distance. She knew Connie was up to something and she was going to find out what it was.
………………………………….
Connie ran across the yard as stealthily as she could. She didn't want to risk being seen by her father.
Robert was practically sprinting as he got into the pick up and sped off. Connie tried to keep up but she couldn't eventually slowing down to a jog as she dug her mobile phone out of her pocket and dialed Guy's number.
Danielle tried to keep up with Connie, cursing herself for taking her skinny body for granted.
She wished she had kept her fitness up like Kelly does.
She saw Connie pull her phone out of her bag and Danielle fought the urge to go and slap it out of her hand. She knew Connie was calling him. She pressed on curious to see what her older sister was up to.
Guy was just drifting off to sleep when his phone rang. He suddenly became aware of the cold and the dark as his phone glowed green.
He picked it up. "Hello?" he asked hoping it wasn't his older brother asking where his money was.
"Guy?" Connie's voice came into the receiver.
Guy sat up smacking his head on the bench. "Ow!" he cried rubbing it.
"What's wrong?" Connie cried sounding almost beside herself.
"I just hit my head on the top bunk. I'm staying at the Hostel" Guy lied.
"You are not, mom told me" Connie challenged.
Guy sighed, defeated. "Okay you win, I'm under Hans' bench. Its actually pretty comfortable." Guy lied again not wanting Connie to feel guilty for not being able to help him.
"Guy, listen to me carefully, I think someone may be coming to hurt you and I think that someone might be my father. Please get out of there now" Connie pleaded.
She knew Guy wouldn't be able to stand up to her father by himself. Robert Moreau would beat him to a bloody pulp and that's assuming that whoever sent him that message before he ran off wouldn't be waiting for Guy too.
"Okay, I'll leave now" Guy said wondering where on earth could he sleep now. He didn't have to wonder too long as headlights approached at an alarming speed.
"Connie, I think they're here" Guy said not wanting to scare her but he felt better knowing that someone knew where he was in case he got into trouble.
"GUY!" Connie screamed knowing that trouble was brewing for him.
"Connie, I'll be okay, I love you alright" he said hoping that wasn't the last time he'd be able to say those words to her. He hoped to say it to her face one day.
"I love you too" was the last thing he heard before his phone was snatched out of his hand by Robert Moreau.
"I want a word with you" Robert said in a menacing tone.
Guy had heard it millions of times before. People had made it their main focus to give Guy a hard time whenever he was spotted around the neighborhood.
Guy turned around to face Robert.
"What do you want? I'm nowhere near your precious Danielle. I don't intend to go anywhere near her either. Connie's not here either so just back off" Guy said and waited for the first punch to fall.
