This chapter picks up where the start of chapter one left off

Once he was done he stood up redressed and left her on the floor she was crying and shivering. She looked broken, but it was worth it.

"Now Lindsay this is how this works, you say nothing to anybody and I wont harm a hair on Scarlett's little beautiful head, you talk and she will get the same as mommy" He said stooping down so he was at eye level with Lindsay, she couldn't look at him. She turned and threw up. "Are we clear" he continued. She nodded but he grabbed a fist full of hair

"Yes, we are clear" She whimpered

"Good, and if I were you I'd call Danny and tell him you need time to clear your head" He simply laughed and walked away.

She got herself dressed but couldn't stop crying she felt dirty and horrible, she couldn't go home. Lindsay walked out of the ally, she was two blocks from home and seven from Stella's place, she couldn't go there either. So she walked for about half hour until she found this small tired looking hotel, perfect.

*_*_*_*_*

Lettie had fallen asleep in Danny's arms, he was getting tired himself, but he couldn't sleep, not until Lindsay was home.

"Come on then baby, lets get you to bed" He whispered in Lettie's ear, he looked at the clock it was nearly two, she should be home by now, she was never out this late, they ha fought before, but she always came home she would always kiss Lettie even then if she slept in with her if she didn't want to see him. But two o'clock this was so unlike Lindsay. He settled Scarlett down in her bed and walked out, he needed to be in work in four hours was there much point sleeping, no not until Lindsay came home, he felt like a father waiting for his daughter to come in from her first date.

*_*_*_*_*_*

Lindsay sat on the bed she had had a long shower to remove all the trace off her body, and to try to was his feel off, but she couldn't. Danny was all she could think about,as much as she hated him on times, she needed him and there was no denying it Danny Messer was her life, and now when she needed him most he couldn't be there. She looked at the clock it was 3:30am, she knew he would still be awake, he always stayed until she came home, she remembered last time they had had a big fight, it was Lettie's third birthday he had forgotten the present and didn't make it home until gone ten that night which was just too late.

"Danny she's our daughter, work cannot take priority anymore" Lindsay screamed

"Lind's, I couldn't get away we had this guy"

"And what about Scarlett, do you think she understood why daddy wasn't reading her Goodnight Moon"

"She's three years old"

"And what about when work next gets in the way, at prom, graduation, MARRIGE"

"Lindsay calm down, stop over reacting"

"I can't take this" and with that she walked out of the house. She walked for about half hour and then returned home. For Danny it was once again the worst half hour, he didn't know where she was, or what she was doing. He didn't sleep he just lay in bed waiting to hear the door and after a while it did. He got out of bed and quietly crept to the bedroom door and watched as Lindsay went into Scarlett's room and didn't come back out, he knew she needed to calm down and knowing she was safe and next door he returned to bed and slept.

Lindsay had seen him that night, standing by the door and watching. She knew she had worried him but she was just to upset and couldn't help it. She cried herself to sleep that night, she couldn't go back in with him she was to angry.

But now sitting here on the bed in this hotel all she wanted was to wrap herself in him and stay there forever and have him sing to her, like he used to when she was pregnant with Scarlett.

*_*_*_*_*_*

It was four in the morning Lindsay wasn't home and Scarlett needed someone to look after her and take her to school while Danny had to work.

So he grabbed his cell and called Lindsay

"Hi this is Lindsay I can't get to the phone right now but leave your name and number I'll get back to you"

"Linds its Danny I know you probably really don't want to talk to me right now but I just need to know your ok. So give me a call ok. I love you"

Danny threw this cell on the floor, where was she. He walked into Lettie's room and picked her up careful not to wake her grabbed her school bag and his work stuff and left the house.

*_*_*_*_*

Lindsay lay awake looking up at the ceiling, she couldn't sleep every time she did she saw him, his smile his eyes. She hated him, but most of all she hated the way she made it so she could go near Danny. She looked at the clock for what felt like the millionth time it was 4:45am Danny would be in work she could go home, shower and cuddle up in bed. Lindsay stood up grabbed her jacket and walked out of the room.

When she arrived home it was clear Danny hadn't slept and not woken Lettie up before he left. She walked straight into the bathroom stripping off and jumping in the shower. She turned up the shower to as hot as it would go she wanted the water to burn his touch off of her skin, after about quarter of an hour she stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself. She grabbed her clothes, placed them in a carrier bag and hid them in the back of her closet. She got dry and dressed and went to get food. Flicking on the TV she flopped herself down on the couch and began to watch Maid in Manhattan, it was her favourite movie perfect chance to settle down and have a good cry about how terrible her life was and how it was only going to get worse, as she kept lying to Danny, she had to, his words played over and over in her mind

"you say nothing to anybody and I won't harm a hair on Scarlett's little beautiful head, you talk and she will get the same as mommy"

After some time she felt her eyes beginning to close and she let sleep consume her.
