the next day roxy was passed out on the sofa whilst danielle was in her own bed as was ronnie, ronnie woke up to the taste of vodka in her mouth, she needed a glass of water, she sat up placing her silky night gown around her body and walked into the mess of her new house, she opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, looking at roxy lying asleep on the sofa with danielles dressing gown downed over her she realised she must of passed out so danielle coverd her, she felt a slight dissopointment that she woke up alone, half hoping danielle would come in and join her, she felt comfort of danielle sleeping next to her, she liked to watch her sleep, being peacefull only time she could really share a moment with her, staring at her, not able to imagine life with out her, since being in the new house danielle had only spent a few nights alone, the rest where filled with watching dvd's and talking in bed untill she was to tierd to even more into her own room.
danielle-"morning" danielle walked into the kitchen
ronnie-"morning sweetheart, what time did you end up getting to sleep"
danielle-"not long after you, roxy was mid way talking and just passed out, i came into your room and you were fast alseep too" she smiled as her mother placed a coffee infront of her.
