So Ronnie's in trouble, Danielle is angry at the distance Ronnie has caused and Archie well i knew i couldnt let him just go away ;] More to come promise stay buzzed itll be good promissee
Absentmindedly gazing across the square whilst perched lightly on Arthur's bench and gently swaying Amy's buggy, Ronnie's mind began to wander , two weeks had since passed from when she had been staying in Telford. And also slept with her old childhood flame Joel. She couldn't get her head around them two being together again, it felt so right yet wrong at the same time - she knew too much time had passed between them, and with that came a un-deniable distance. As well as that Joel had created a greater distancing by not bothering to contact her or Danielle since, and this made Ronnie furious. Her daughter was beginning to take it to heart and Ronnie knew whole heartedly it was her fault. If she hadn't of slept with Joel none of this awkwardness would be happening. He would've gotten in touch by know. .I'm causing my own daughter suffering thought Ronnie angrily, as she found herself getting more and more frustrated she found her eyes glance down at her niece sleeping contently. Ronnie sighed heavily and all her problems seemed to disperse "Well at least I'm looking after you right aye little one" cooed Ronnie softly as she stood up.
As she made her way through the square and passing the stalls to get to the club Ronnie distinctly noticed Danielle wasn't with Stacey helping out, "And where might my daughter be Stacey" Ronnie joked bluntly as she tried to lift the buggy up onto the curb. Stacey seeing this approached Ronnie trying to aid her "Dunno said she had somewhere to be that was more fun then working - looks like you do" replied Stacey smiling with a wink "Ah not really, just helping Rox out she's off having a job interview and I offered to help" Ronnie trailed off, smiling in appreciation at the help but her mind began to get side tracked yet again "… So Il see you later then" Stacey said, cautious at Ronnie's evident distance. Ronnie smiled again "Thanks" and with that Ronnie started to lift out Amy and clamber into R and R.
"Right you -" spoke Ronnie lightly setting Amy down on the sofa whilst propping her up with pillows so she was safe "Your buggy is to heavy for me to lug in here madam, so you'll have to make do here while I do some work and make a few calls-" Ronnie stroked the baby's cheek softly with eyes full of tenderness. She couldn't deny it, even with Jack as her father she was as beautiful as anything. Ronnie began to suddenly think back to her own daughters whereabouts where could she be she wondered, Ronnie had decided not to inform Danielle of her and Joel's "Reunion" purely because it would mean putting it into under a definition. A definition that Ronnie had no idea what it was.
Suddenly in the midst of the tender silence that shrouded them a mobiles ring tone call blasted the room like thunder causing a sleeping Amy to whimper "Shhh baby girl…. Baby girl" soothed a distressed Ronnie as she lifted the phone to her ear - "Hello, oh Danielle - what's the matter sweetie- Joel? Well no I have no problem in you seeing him, I don't know why on earth he would say that - look come home we can talk about this - ohh Danielle -" Ronnie let out an exasperated sigh as she realised Danielle had hung upon her, she knew about the "Reunion", and apparently Joel thought it would be best to stay away for a bit. Ronnie could not believe it Joel was turning this all out of proportion and she was getting the raw end of it. Men! . Ronnie continued to vent her anger out in head so not to wake Amy but as she turned around to check on her, the figure of a man who she really hoped had dropped down dead faced her. Holding Amy in his palms.
"Dad - give her to me" hissed a violent Ronnie, Roxy is going to kill me if he takes her, I have to get her - he cant expect to have her anyway after what he's done. Archie continued to smile maliciously and eventually glanced down to tend to the baby now peacefully awake. "See V - I'm one of those people with a great awareness of what babies need and want, you can tell Roxys picking the trait up-" Archie trailed off cooing. "Now dad - hand her over, Jack will be here any minute to pick her up and if he gets here while your holding here.. Just give her here yea?" Ronnie was trying her best to sound and stay calm but she could tell her armor was crumbling. To her utter surprise Archie shrugged and carefully placed Amy back in her original resting place, but when he again rose he quietly stated "Shame the trait doesn't flow through you aye? Danielle proves it doesn't she. Not quite all there is she?" He smiled victoriously as puffed out his chest. With this Ronnie snapped, she lunged herself heavily at her dad, she had had enough of him and his constant digs, his games, his words, she was totally exhausted of bottling it up. Her hand hit the side of Archie's face almost perfectly and the all powerful smile was replaced back on Ronnie, and it felt good.
"How- how dare you Veronica, I'm your father, I - I raised you" stuttered a gob smacked Archie Mitchell as he edged closer "I mean-" Archie quickly reached out and grabbed his daughters wrist and pulled her close, muffling her cries of pain with the other hand of his "-how dare you! You insolent, vulgar girl" and with the word "girl" all that could be heard next was a cracking of bone as Archie tugged the frail wrist downwards. Tears and a muffled cry seeped from a totally crushed Ronnie, "Let - let go of me" she whispered utterly defeated. "With pleasure-" Archie spat, and with that he thrust Ronnie away, his finger nails inked with blood from where he had dug into her. "I will soon you soon my angel -" Archie said soothingly as he turned to face a sleeping Amy.
As soon as Ronnie was sure Archie had left the clubs premises she began to examine her totally fractured hand and broken wrist. It probably appeared worse then it actually was especially with the blood but Ronnie knew she had to go A and E or see someone about it. But Amy? She couldn't take her to the hospital with one hand could she? And just as Ronnie was becoming close to the breaking point of sanity itself an irritated, sleep deprived Amy burst out into a river of tears, and filled Ronnie's head with even more unbearable stress.
Ronnie looked over at her niece guiltily with tears streaming down her face as well, Amy was turning redder by the second and becoming increasingly more inconsolable. The pain she was feeling right now was like nothing Ronnie had ever felt, she could literally feel the bone sticking out and the world closing in on her. Ronnie looked down at the blood seeping from her wrist and back over at Amy. She had little choice but to emotionlessly walked over scooped her up and began to emptily hush Amy into a much needed golden silence. And when she was sure she wouldn't wake her Ronnie sunk slowly onto the floor rocking her and Amy aimlessly until Ronnie finally gave into the pain. Closing her eyes she fainted silently into a world of darkness, leaving her and Amy totally unguarded and vulnerable to everything.
