Danielle heard her mother's voice in the background, but couldn't muster up any reply.

She felt dirty, completely disgusting as she replayed last nights events over and over in her head.

As she closed her eyes, she could feel his venomous eyes burn through her, she could feel his hands move over her body and his voice rang in her ears telling her it was going to be alright.

It was all her fault she had let him kiss her, she didn't say no then, she lead him on. It was all her fault, tears rolled down her cheeks, as the scalding water washed them away.

Ronnie stood, pain filling her heart as she looked at her broken daughter.

"Danni, please" there was a pleading tone in Ronnie's voice "Please" as she reached in to comfort her, but pulling back in pain as the boiling water burnt at her skin.

How had her daughter stood in it for god knows how long was beyond Ronnie but all she knew was she had to get her out.

"Baby" Ronnie grimaced in pain as she reached for Danielle wanting her to turn round, to acknowledge her at least.

"Danni…" Ronnie begged, just wanting to hear her voice.

She softly touched Danielle's fallen shoulders trying to motion her around but Danielle pulled away " Don't touch me, don't you ever touch me" Danielle screamed turning to face her mother with fear in her eyes. Ronnie backed away scared of the pain her traumatised daughter was in and broke all she wanted to do was hold her take away all her pain.

Danielle was backed against the showers, cream tiles eyes opened like a deer caught in the headlights repeating over and over "don't touch me, please don't" and effortlessly slumped to the shower floor, leaving smeared blood stains along the tiles.

Ronnie mirrored her daughters movements as she slumped against the bathroom door. Scared to go near her, she felt rejected once again, she should be the one to take her daughters pain away but she didn't want her near her.

For what seemed like hours the two remained in the same position, Silence now filled the room apart from the sound of the water running, Ronnie hung her head, scared and unsure at how they could possibly overcome all this pain.

Danielle sat hugging her knees to her chest, her eyes closed not wanting to face the reality of the situation, her skin felt raw and sore as the water still pelted against her skin but she found the pain somewhat soothing as it numbed the pain that ached within her heart.

Danielle slowly opened her eyes, squinting as the day light seeped in, she looked at her mother who was sat in the same position as before and her heart sank- all she wanted was her mum, that was all she needed right now, she needed her mum to make everything ok.

"Mum" Danielle whimpered, her voice cracking as she did so, Ronnie lifted her head delighted at the sound of her voice and let a small comforting smile creep upon her face.

"baby" Ronnie exclaimed as she abruptly made her way to the shower scared to touch or pressurise her. Danielle looked up at her mothers comforting face and melted as she stood now clinging to the shower doors for stability "Mum" Danielle repeated as she fell into her mothers arms.

Ronnie breathed as sigh of relief, as she felt Danielle's warm wet body in her arms her baby was back where she belonged.
