Scarred For Life

Chapter 17

Calum's Point of View

Danielle slipped her blazer back on in one of the changing rooms at the station. They had just taken pictures of her legs, her stomach and her arms. Also some faded scars and bruises on her face.

"Thanks Miss Jones" the person taking the picture said as we walked back out to the waiting room.

Another long wait. It must be about 10pm at night now, I feel terrible for Danielle, her birthday has been ruined, and she looks so tired and grumpy.

"Hey are we really going to DisneyWorld?" She asks looking up at me.

I intertwine our fingers together "If I told you we weren't, what would you do?"

"Dump you" she says with a straight face and then starts to laugh "I'm joking I would just be a little gutted"

"It's a good thing we're going then" I smile.

"Really?!"

I nod "yup"

"Yay! I'm so excited! When are we going?!" She squeals.

"When we arrive in America for the first show we have a couple days off, so we're going to DisneyWorld"

"Your the best boyfriend ever" she grins giving me a kiss.

"I know right"

She giggles putting her head on my shoulder. " I just really wanna get out of here though..."

"Me too" I sigh.

A couple minutes later a man walks out one of the rooms. He looks so familiar.

"Hey Danielle.." I say looking down at her but she's fallen asleep. I turn her around so her head is on my lap, which will save her from a sore neck when she wakes up. She sighed a deep breath putting her feet up on chairs next to us, and curling her hands up under her chin.I kiss her forehead and let her sleep.

I look back up to the man who is at reception desk. He looks so damn familiar, I just can't point out who he is.

And then it hits me, he's Danielle's dad. She would be freaking out right now if she saw him.

He walked over sitting in one of the chairs across from us and started eyeing me down.

"Your the one who kidnapped my daughter then, eh?" He says in such a low and husky voice.

"I didn't kidnap her"

"That's not what I saw"

"Well you saw wrong.." I spoke back trying to be quiet and not wake Danielle up.

He growled at me as I tensed up.

He sits forward in his seat" Listen here kiddo, and listen good. I always get what I want and I will get Danielle back home tonight. Whether she likes it or not"

"What makes you think she isn't gonna runaway again? You gonna lock her in her room? She is, terrified of you and your wife " I said emphasising the word 'terrified' "Now listen to me, she will be back home tonight ,in a nice warm bed, in a home where she feels safe,but she won't be with you"

He snarls sitting straight back up in his seat.

I roll my eyes looking back down at my beautiful girlfriend. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep, nothing to worry about, and she forgets about the world and all the bad things that have happened in her life.

I pull some hair away from her face and tuck it behind her ear.

"I don't know why your so happy with yourself, I know my daughter inside out, she will come running back home" he says. Will he not just shut up?!
