Danielle stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Connie scream Guy's name.
Tears welled up in her eyes as the reality sunk in. Connie was telling that scum that she loved him. Danielle couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was like she was living her worst nightmare.
Connie quickly shoved her phone back into her pocket and ran for the memorial bench.
She had to stop her father from hurting Guy.
All her energy was focused on her hatred for her father at that point as she pushed herself through the uneven terrain of the trees that surrounded the road.
She thought about phoning the police but she decided against it.
As if they would believe her and Guy anyway.
Her dad would say that Guy started it and that would be it. Guy would be locked away forever and she'd never see him again.
Her left calf started cramping up but she ignored the pain. She cursed herself for abandoning her fitness training. She used to be able to run this hill with no problems, now she was struggling for breath and she was only halfway up.
It was all Charlie's fault. She decided, all Charlie wanted to do was sit around and talk about sex as if he was the last virgin on earth. "Damn him to hell" she yelled her annoyance at Charlie growing more and more intense the longer she thought about it.
Danielle was taken aback 'Damn who to hell?' she wondered as she fought to keep up with her sister.
Her feet were killing her. Why did she have to wear high heels? She wondered as she pressed on hoping she wouldn't die before making it to the top of the hill.
Guy looked nervously around him. He couldn't help but wonder whether Robert had brought in company to help finish him off.
Robert' fists were clenched, his jaw was set, he looked like he was going to kill him.
Guy panicked and ran. Robert caught up with him pretty quickly, even though he'd retired from football he was still fit for his age.
"Where do you think you're going?" Robert demanded grabbing Guy by the scruff of his neck. His fist was raised and he was about to let it fly at any second.
"Leaving. You have no right to be here Mr Moreau. I'm not doing anything wrong" Guy knew it would land him in trouble but he couldn't just back down. Not after everything that had happened.
"Damn right you're leaving, you have exactly five seconds to pack up and leave this town for good" Robert threatened.
"Or what? I don't have to leave this town and I don't want to leave this town. Connie doesn't want me to leave either" Guy blurted out.
He knew he'd gone too far when Robert' eyeballs practically bulged out of his head.
"You leave Connie alone" Robert said through clenched teeth.
Guy shook his head "I can leave her alone but she can't leave me alone. She knows what you're up to Robert. She phoned me to warn me you'd come and try to hurt me. Is that what you want to be for your daughters? The guy who goes around beating up the men they love. Is Scott your next victim?" Guy challenged almost wanting to get Robert angry so a fight could break out
He got his wish.
