Hi everyone thanks for all your reviews and everything they mean alot :) I wanted to update this before I started to get ready and go out to watch The Fray in concert :D Well excited lol...Well anyway hope your excited about this and enjoy :)....
...
Colors were just a blur as she zoomed down the roads to get to Telford, she did not even know how much time had past, she had to stop once to fill up her bike, but then she had said nothing, just numbly paid her money and off she went.
She wasn't even sure if she remembered where Danielle use to live, she had the address memorized but how she got there she wasn't sure, like her instincts were just taking her. Her heart; back to Danielle, where she lay. She had entered an estate and drove further into it, until she arrived at the house, which was hers. Stopping outside, she took a deep breath, if this was it, if he did send them to her, what then, she wasn't sure if she did want it to be him, a part of her did, the other, if it wasn't just held too many possibilities, and she wasn't sure if she could handle the true outcome of them.
She took another deep breath as she waited, having knocked on the door just a moment before. A shadow now appeared the face of Danielle's adoptive Father stood before her.
He looked at her surprised, slightly irritated.
"What are you doing here; I thought you'd got all the answers you needed."
Ronnie was taken aback, she knew Danielle's adoptive father had not taken to her the first time he met her, even blamed her at first, but she had thought he would have been more supportive now, less hostile. If not for her then Danielle, she was her mother, maybe that was the reason, she'd never truly get any true feelings from him, because she was the one that ruined his perfect little bubble, his belief that Danielle wasn't some unwanted baby, wasn't his baby. That Ronnie still needed answers, but now it was not solely about Danielle's past.
"I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on something for me."
Andy stood still, not showing much emotion as he debated, before stepping aside and allowing Ronnie into his house. They entered the living room, where Andy turned to her.
"What do you want? I've showed you her photos, her room, where she grew up, there can't be much more you need to know."
At this Ronnie wanted to yell, scream at him, tell him she wanted to know everything, all her dreams, when she was upset what comforted her, how she slept, when did she take her first steps, where did she take them. What were her first words, she did not care if the words weren't her name, it was a moment in her baby's life that she missed, and wanted to know. However, for now, she let it lie; she needed answers for her own piece of mind if anything. She took of her rucksack, and opened it up, placing it on the couch and pulling out the DVD; she held it out for Andy, who then stepped back in shock.
"This is Danni's, how, how did you get it… Did you steal it the day of the funeral?"
Andy starts rambling his voice raising trying to find some reason to why she would have this.
"I thought it was mine."
"Yours! Just because she was your daughter doesn't make her things yours!"
Ronnie stands shaking her head, as Andy starts to walk towards her raising the DVD as he spoke, his face turning red in anger.
"Now hold on! I didn't steal anything. Someone broke into my club and left that DVD for me… It's not even that film."
Andy takes a deep breath calming down; he tries to take in what she had just said.
"What do you mean someone broke into your club?"
Ronnie rubs her head and sits down sighing.
"I thought it was my sister leaving me a birthday present… when I opened it and saw what was inside… I checked the security tape and… I saw a woman just walk into my office at gone 4 in the morning and leave it on my desk."
"That's impossible. This is Danni's DVD, it was in her room after she had died, I saw it…I…That's…"
"Why I came here to you… I thought maybe…"
"I had something to do with it?"
Ronnie looked down, Andy sighed. Ronnie turned to her bag and pulled out the birthday card.
"This is why I thought… I don't know, you're the only person that…"
Ronnie trails off, handing Andy the card, not being able to find the right words. Andy's face pales. He gulps. He opens his mouth but no words come out. He raises a hand to his mouth as he catches his breath.
"This is Danni's writing, this is hers. How did…How is this possible… A woman you say, a woman left this for you… But why, what…"
Ronnie shakes her head.
"I don't know… the film, I thought, maybe it was you feeling guilty, or…"
"Guilty… What do I have to feel guilty for?" His voice rising ever so slightly.
"Not sending me the film before…" Andy looks at her confused. He opens the case and stares at it, his confusion growing as he sees the writing.
He walks over to the TV and places it in the DVD player. He stands up after turning everything on and waits, as the black screen comes on and he hears the laughter. He holds his mouth again, tears springing to his eyes.
His eyes never leave the screen as he watches the film, as does Ronnie, when the film is over Andy turns to Ronnie, his eyes watering. He's surprised to see tears falling from Ronnie's eyes. He thought she was cold; maybe she wasn't all that different from Danni, after all that is what Danni had told him herself.
Andy goes and sits next to Ronnie at a loss for words. Although now it made sense why she would think him, why she would think he was guilty… However, wait, now he was again confused.
"But we sent you that film when Danni was little. Not long after it was filmed…"
Now it was Ronnie's turn to be confused.
"Today is the first I've seen of it."
"No. No. We, it was in the kitchen with a letter Danni had written, saying you could come see her anytime you wanted. We agreed it was what she wanted… Not long though, it was still in the kitchen waiting to be sent… Lizzie had a fall… At the hospital… The doctors discovered she had cancer… They started treatment right away… I forgot all about the film… Until one day I was in the kitchen and I felt something was missing, I realised it was the film… I just assumed Lizzie had sent it… I never mentioned it, she hadn't to me… And when we heard nothing from you… Danni didn't ask about you, I just thought you didn't want to know, and Danni stopped…"
Ronnie clutches her locket, she could have been with her baby earlier, but why, it was so cruel, when she could've been with her she didn't know that she could, and when her daughter was with her she still didn't know. She couldn't be the mother that her daughter wanted her to be, what she wanted to be. Another tear fell from Ronnie's eyes. She squeezed them shut.
Ronnie didn't say anything. What did she say to that? Andy shook his head, none of this made any sense, and now he was feeling blameworthy, feeling compassion towards the woman he had long since loathed.
"I should have asked… But Lizzie… She, she wouldn't have kept the film from you… She wouldn't… Why is it in this case, Danni…She must have had it…"
Andy was talking away more so too himself. Ronnie was listening to everything he was saying, but when he said Danielle's name her head snapped up, she was looking at him. He looked at her.
"Danni, she's the only one who knew about the film… She must have kept the film as her mum was sick, afraid that if you came, her mum would feel unwanted… That's just like Danni, always putting others before herself… That's why once Lizzie passed away; she must have gone to look for you…"
Both Ronnie and Andy try to take in what they have just heard, Danni was the only one who knew, was the only one who could write that, whose writing it was, who knew them both, it wasn't impossible that someone copied the writing, yet that was more possible than it being Danielle, because Danielle was dead. Wasn't she, yes she was? She had seen her with her own eyes on that slab. Ronnie clutched her locket tighter.
Andy sighed and held his head.
"But it can't be Danielle, someone must be doing this to you…Someone…Someone must have broke into my house too...Danielle's room!" Andy stands quickly walking to the door, Ronnie looks after him puzzled but quickly follows him, upstairs, she finds him in Danielle's room looking around.
"Nothing's out off place… Nothing… The person must have known where to look, how to get in… I would have known how is this possible!"
Ronnie closes her eyes briefly, she had hoped she would get some answers coming it, but it seemed she was just as more confused and none the wiser to whom was doing this to her.
A gentle breeze was blowing in the room, Ronnie's eyes engrossed by the gentle sway of the curtains. Andy turned to her confused as to what she was looking at, until he himself looked. Andy's eyes widened and he raced towards the window muttering that it wasn't open, that someone had opened it.
He stopped at the window closing it. Letting out a deep breath as he did so, he paused, his eyes focused on something that was flapping in the wind, but now had stopped. He looked at a me to you bear ornament; there was a piece of paper underneath. He took the paper slowly, now Ronnie was watching him, wondering what was wrong.
He turned to her, his face one of utter shock and disbelief.
He handed Ronnie a piece of paper.
"I only took what was hers."
Ronnie's eyes widen.
"What is this?" Her voice raising an octave.
"I think it's about you." His voice, unsure of himself, slightly shaky as he spoke.
"But it's the same writing again… What does it mean…? Why is this happening to me? Who is doing this to me?"
More tears spill as Ronnie clutches her locket with both hands, her knees buckle underneath her, and she kneels on the floor, letting her tears fall. What was happening, why was this happening? Who would want to pretend to be her dead daughter, and do it so believingly. The writing the exact match. Was this all to make her believe she was going mad? Well, who ever it was they were getting their wish. She felt crazier than ever, doubting herself, and that of other, what she had seen. She needed answers, but she was out of ideas as to where to look. Andy just watched on, feeling slightly uncomfortable at witnessing Ronnie's small breakdown, and feeling confused and worried as to what all this meant.
Hope you liked it :) Let me know what you think an update will probably be during the week as it's my birthday 2moz and I'm out 2nite, hope you can review and let me know what you think. Much appreciated, thanks for reading :) x
