Chapter 3:- no going back
It wasn't the time to be scared now; Danielle was there so close to telling Ronnie she wasn't going to give up now. Danielle clutched the handrail and walked slowly down the stairs. She stopped outside the office froze then knocked hard, hurting her fist.
"Come in" Danielle heard Ronnie's voice call softly. Danielle pushed the door open and stepped in. Ronnie was sitting there at the desk head buried in paperwork, her beautiful, blonde hair glistening in the light. She looked up at Danielle and sighed.
"What do you want?" Ronnie asked adding as little effort into the question as possible.
"I'm here to talk" Danielle explained looking into Ronnie's cold blue eyes, sighing again Ronnie looked down at the paper in front of her "I don't want to talk" she said quietly not looking up.
This annoyed Danielle even more, she wouldn't even give Danielle a couple of minutes, and she had no time for her. "I'm not giving you a choice, its my turn to get mad, its my turn to shout" Danielle was shocked at what had come out of her mouth, Ronnie had took her head out her papers and looked at Danielle amazed. "Go on then, lets hear what you've gotta say" Ronnie replied, she wasn't in the mood for an argument, it had been a long day, she just wanted to go home, she didn't need this right now.
"You're cold, rude, heartless you've cursed my whole life, and you don't even care, its about time you suffered like you made me suffer, why Ronnie why?" Danielle asked getting distressed.
"Why what Danielle, I understand I may have hurt you, but you can't keep blaming me for the problems in your life" looking slightly upset about what was being said.
"I can't blame you! Ha! Of course I can blame you; you're the one that caused the problems in my life! My dad doesn't want to know me because of you; I aborted my baby because of you! I got kicked out the Slater's months ago because of you, everything's because of you! Of course I can blame you" Danielle shouted back getting angrier at Ronnie, she just sat there amazed that this young girl who she barely knew was blaming her for destroying her life. "I'm sorry Danielle, I didn't force you to abort your baby, and as for your dad and the Slater's I have no idea what your on about, so if you don't mind can you just leave" Ronnie answered Danielle looking rather distraught.
"oh don't worry I'm leaving, I'm going home, away from you, and you told me it was the right choice, the right thing to do, what's the matter couldn't just get rid of your own child had to get rid of someone else's too" Danielle screamed at Ronnie pointing her finger.
"HOW DARE YOU! How dare you, even bring my baby into this, I told you it was the right choice because you are still young, you have your whole life ahead of you" Ronnie was upset now and furious this girl had no right to talk about her daughter.
"Why shouldn't I its not like you even cared about her" Danielle said in a lower voice calming slightly.
"Of course I cared about her she was my daughter" Ronnie replied almost crying as she spoke, trying to force back the tears, she couldn't even look at Danielle. This girl didn't even know her she didn't know the pain she felt for her baby, she had no right making accusations like this.
"don't make me laugh, of course you care you gave her up for adoption, passing her on like an unwanted Barbie doll, you left her with nothing, just some cheap necklace with a picture of you in, what was she supposed to do with that Ronnie, what was she supposed to do, you got rid of her, of course you cared"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?!" Ronnie had stood up at this point screaming in Danielle's face.
This was it for Danielle this was what she'd waited for, for months but never intended it to be like this, she wanted it be a happy time to remember but there was no going back Ronnie had made her daughter hate her. Danielle stirred bitterly into Ronnie's bloodshot eyes, and answered Ronnie's question.
"You know what they say ay Ron, the past always comes back to haunt you, well here I am".
