Well after much neglect to this story I'm back again! I hope you all have'nt lost interest this and i do look forward to any reviewers or readers i get from now
Ronnie paced quickly over to the area in which she had heard the shrieks arise from and wearily stroked back her sodden hair from her eyes to improve her blurry vision. She quietly leaned herself up against the back of the van which now had all of its alarms ringing throughout her ears and deafening all possible voices that could have been talking. Ronnie breathed in slowly, she had to be careful here, this might not have anything to do with her daughter and could possibly get her into undesirable trouble, but if it is Danielle who cried out before I have to do something here - I owe her that much at least. Ronnie braced herself totally and quickly peered around and let out a loud sudden gasp at the scene that lay before her ; along with the grey colouring from the rain there was a crimson red trail leading up to a blonde haired girl who had her head in her hands. The defeated looking girl appeared to be rocking herself backwards and forwards frantically, with a little white stick laid smashed up next to her. Ronnie crept silently up to the oblivious rocking body and lovingly placed a hand on its shoulder whispered "Danielle?".
The girl instantly stopped rocking and raised her hand to touch the one pressed against her "Ronnie?".
"Baby what happened, face me Danielle - look at me-" Ronnie grasped at her daughters chin which she vaguely distinguished through the weather. Gasping and breathing silently Ronnie quickly took in the state in which Danielle's face was in and carefully wiped away the excess blood.
Danielle quickly swiped away her mothers attentive hand, "I guess you could say I told you so-" .
Ronnie smiled, "No that's not what I would say at all is it? I would ask if there was anything I could do to help".
Danielle finally looked up to her mother, Ronnie's eyes looked so calm and composed - it was hard not to be drawn in by them. "I told him Ronnie -" Danielle spoke in barely a whisper yet her tone came across more defeated then she intended.
"Baby, its okay, its okay - I'm here now aren't I" Ronnie looked down at the pregnancy test that seemingly had been violently crushed, she then glanced at her daughters stomach and back to her face. She carefully attempted again to make some kind of comforting contact making sure not over do it.
"If you want you can come back to the flat - do you feel like it, where are your bags, all of your stuff?" Ronnie began to rush and ramble on, she couldn't help herself - her pure determination to help her beaten daughter was over powering all of her.
Danielle took her time in responding to this new offer, she knew she had no where to really go, and getting the opportunity to dry off seemed extremely appealing right now. She looked solemnly up at her mother, "Ronnie I cant -" her head then bowed down again and she continued "Did you read the note I left?".
Ronnie widened her eyes in disbelief, as she realised she hadn't actually tried the flat ; how stupid and reckless had she been? "No baby I haven't - I'm sorry…" Ronnie felt Danielle tense up immediately and quickly tried to correct her mistake "You can tell me now though cant you yeah?" Ronnie proceeded to rub Danielle's back in order to encourage her further.
"No - Ronnie look, I need to get away for a bit, I'm going back to Telford I've decided maybe not forever but for a bit all the same -" Danielle paused, collecting her thoughts she reluctantly hoisted herself up. Pain shot throughout her body as she shifted in positions, her face probably looked worse then it actually was but the intense stabbing pain her back that threw her for six. Blood suddenly rushed to her head and Danielle quickly found herself crumpling back onto the ground and falling unconscious into her mothers arms.
"Danielle!" Ronnie screamed as she caught her battered daughter, Ronnie looked around her for any passers by that could help but even through the rain no help looked as if they was there. She then looked down at Danielle's face and began to inspect her injuries, her face was pure white and underneath the rim of her right eye lay an open cut which reached just about to her nose . Ronnie decided her daughters defenceless state was probably for the best and with all her might she pulled herself and Danielle up and started making her way home, she passed Danielle's things that stood standing in bin bags on the road and weakly kicked them onto a nearby path, desperately hoping they would remain there until she had the chance to come back for them.
Once Ronnie was back in the flat she began to fully collect her thoughts, she placed Danielle onto her bed and took off her drenched boots and socks and lightly placed a throw across her and quickly left to turn the heating on full. Ronnie re - entered the bedroom and placed a cup of tea beside her daughter, she looked down at her run down teen and sighed whilst perching herself softly at the end of the bed. Ronnie looked down at the pieces of coloured paper in her palm, instantly she could tell Danielle had wrote them in a hurry. Looking around hastily Ronnie quickly acknowledged how torn apart the flat really was, Danielle really wanted to get away then , but why? Because of me? Ronnie subconsciously found herself crumpling up the post its into a tight ball. Whatever they say I don't want to know, not now, not ever.
Ronnie then looked at her watch, it was only just slowly turning 7 o clock and already Danielle had fallen into a deep rhythmic slumber. " I better go get your stuff off the road side then baby…" Ronnie whispered, whilst smiling to herself contently at least I've got some control over her now… even if it is just for a few hours.
A few hours had passed since Ronnie had went to retrieve Danielle's things and now she was finding herself escaping her prison like flat again, but this time to see Jack. He probably knows from Roxy by now, and he does need answers Ronne picked up her keys silently and crept in to glance at her daughter who was still sleeping contently "I'll be back soon baby" Ronnie whispered, and with that she closed the bedrooms door and exited the flat.
"Jack you in? Jack!" Ronnie began to already feel under pressure and she hadn't even confronted Jack yet, looking around cautiously she could only see Dawn messing around behind the bar with Cameron - laughing and joking away as if nothing else mattered. If I only me and Jack could have that… Ronnie instantly felt her inner anger flare up as she approached them "Are you two not supposed to be getting this place ready for when it opens in what, half an hour?".
Dawn immediately stopped laughing and coughed to Cameron for his help in the matter "Er - Jack said we could have a break Ronnie sorry we'll jus-"
"Where's Jack right now then?" Ronnie interrupted, not really wanting to waste any more time.
"He's in the back I think, you want me to check Ron?" Cameron plucked up suggestively.
"Oh yea! Last time we saw him he was with Roxy out back, wasn't he Cameron?" Dawn cockily smirked as she returned to work.
"Er maybe he was, we aren't really sure though… -" Ronnie could tell Cameron had become uncomfortable with the situation and was only trying to cool both females down.
Ronnie instinctively smiled at his wariness of her, she nodded as if thinking and simply muttered "Thanks" as she brushed on to the office past them.
Looking around to see if Dawn or Cameron was behind her Ronnie discreetly pressed her ear to the door in hope to hear any conversation happening behind it, she wasn't one to pry after all. After concentrating for long enough she began to hear to bodies getting closer, their voices volume increasing and stiffening.
"- Yea Rox I understand I did see her health records remember? But Ronnie is the most important one right now, I love her-"
"Jack that's not going to be enough though is it? Ronnie really wishes this wasn't happening, but she's going to go through with it til the end right?, This is who she is, and as much as we try to tell her, she's so bloody stubborn theres no stopping her in anything"
"Even if both of them die as a consequence-"
"Yes. Jack I hate it as much as you and all that yea, but we have to - all of us have to remember there's a chance it'll all be okay yea?"
"I've had enough of this! There's a chance both of them won't be, and I'm taking control right now, let me contact her - I'll get her to see sense if you won't"
"Jack if you pick that phone up I swear to god -"
"You swear to god what Roxanne? How are you ever going to stop me dialling? I -"
There was a sudden movement and all sound had perished, Ronnie stood for a second her mind reeling with thoughts of what to do next . Jack knew already? From health records? Ronnie paused and clicked the door handle without thinking, turning it silently she entered without a sound. Looking dead set as rock at the sight of him and Roxy in the deep midst of a kiss stunned Ronnie to the core, so much so she was utterly speechless to say anything and totally powerless to stop the tear falling rapidly down her face. She then quickly wiped the tear away, clutched her stomach for support and regained the somewhat speech she had left and calmly said powerfully "And I thought we were the ones that were important in all of this - silly me?
