Chris POV

I know how dani feels about her parents and the fact they are here on the hardest day of her life I don't know how she is going to react.
"You have to be joking right? You haven't bothered with her, her whole life and now she's dead you want to play the broken parents. Leave now!"
"We have every right to be here Danielle"
"No you don't. You have absolutely no right"
I take her hand in mine and squeeze hoping to keep her grounded and keep her calm.
"I think you should leave" I tell them as calmly as I can.

"And who the hell are you?"
"This is Chris and he knows more about me and Gracie then you ever did. Do not come here and disrespect him"
"Danielle please. Be mature about this"
"Mature?" She goes to step forward but I stop her, pulling her gently towards me.
"They are not worth it dani, go to the kitchen and we will get rid of them okay "
She nods and my brother goes with her to ensure she is okay.
"You really do need to leave, your upsetting dani and I won't allow that. She took care of Gracie when you couldn't be bothered she became her parents. She supported her and raised her to be an amazing woman. Dani did all of that and you did nothing. So you don't get to come here and try to grieve over a daughter you didn't even know. So go! Now! Before I call the police"

They look at me shocked, not expecting me to speak to them in that way. But they nod and walk back to there car before driving away. I look to my Ma who nods to me understanding what I'm asking. Dani needs to be left and she needs all these people gone, so Ma and Carly start to ask people to leave while I go and check on Dani.
As I walk into the kitchen I see Scot cradling dani to his chest and she is crying again. He turns to look at me and nods his head for me to take over. Dani slots into my arms just as she always has and I hold her close as she sobs into my
Chest. Breaking my heart because I can't help this wonderful woman and the pain she is in.

Dani POV

I don't know how long chris has been holding me
But I always feel safer and calmer in his arms. He is my safety net, my comfort blanket if you will and he always knows what I need before I do.
I pull away and look up at him, he smiles and wipes away the remainder of my tears. The touch of his hand on my skin makes my heart race so fast, faster then ever before.
"Chris...."
He leans in slowly and his lips gently peck mine, I feel the spark instantly between us and I lean up onto my tiptoes, deepening the kiss he started. His hands find my waist while mine find his hair and we stand there devouring each other.

Unsure of why or how this is happening, I can't help but get lost in his touch. In his lips. There has always been a connection with Chris something that's made us closer, but now in this moment I can't think of anything else but his lips on mine and his hands on my body.
This may ruin everything but right now I need to feel something other then pain and grief. I need to forget even if just for a little while.
