Hey there readers.

Chapter 17 already! I don't know how much longer this story is going to continue for yet, but i don't think it'll be much longer. Excuse the language in this chapter. I tried to make it as dramatic yet descriptive as possible so i hope you enjoy it.

Feel free to provide me with your honest feedback.

Not playing Cinderella [17]

Without my jacket, by the time i got to the end of the street, i was freezing cold and incredibly dizzy. Dizzy with disappointment most of all. I'd thought he'd of at least followed me. Clearly i didn't mean as much to him as he meant to me. Someday, i'd wanted to be Mrs Daniel Allen, and this was after just a few days of knowing him. Love worked fast- that's all i was saying. Literally, if cupid has skates, i'm going to need to borrow them to get out of here. Also, he must have bloody good aim because he'd shot me with that arrow quicker than i could say 'Christ on a bike', right in the ass. And i'd ended up with a pain in the ass too as a result. But hey, nobodies perfect.

With Amber safe, i had pretty much nothing to worry about, i'd be in a plan within ten minutes, on my way home. I'd never missed home so much before, and at that moment, i wanted to be there more than anywhere else in the world. At least with my mom restricting everything, i was safe. When i returned, i was going to make my first misson to give her a bloody big hug, apologise and thank her. If only i'd listened to her in the first place.

Slowing my pace to enjoy my surroundings, i took a deep breath, trying to get Danny out of my head for once. I didn't want to be one of those girls, hung up on their boyfriends even after the relationship was over, and anyway, there was no point in me fretting over him when the fact was, i'd probably never see him again. During my walk, i tried to push thoughts of my recently lost love to the back of my mind and replace it with thoughts of my bed at home, that and a cup of hot chocolate. I'm a complete sucker for hot chocolate. Especially with marsh mellows.

A sudden burst of hope filled me as the airport amongst many other buildings entered my tear stained vision. Finally, i was safe and was going home. 'Nothing can hurt me now'. I repeated the words over and over again, trying to distract myself from all negative thoughts lurking in the caves of my mind.

'Get her!' A scream of excitement could be heard from what seemed like miles away. At first, i'd kept walking, convinced that the shouting hadn't involved me at all, however, my slow walking pace increased rapidly when realisation fitted into place. The shouting, was a signal for me to run. I was being followed.

'Stay the fuck away from me!' I growled at who i'd presumed to be Matt. After being so close, there was no way i was going to loose grip on my escape. Deciding on the spot, to take a back street in order to get away, i dived through an ally and kept running as the sound of someone hitting the ground and groans of pain followed me as i ran.

With my eyes fixed upon the entrance to the ally, i felt a sudden burst of pain flood through my as my backside hit the floor, something, or rather someone, had gotten in my way and was now cradling me inside their arms as i sat on the floor, trying to hold back the tears.

Oh no they didn't!

'It'll be alright, i'll keep you safe'. If it'd been anyone Else's voice, i'd have been crippled with fear. But this one, had the power to sooth all my worried away in a matter of seconds. Damn it.

'Danny? Let me go. Don't try and keep me here. I'm not like Amber'. Despite my desperate protests coming from within my heart, i went against it and tried to get up from sitting on the ground. After feeling like a part of me had been missing without Danny, i must admit it was damn good to be back in his arms. Despite begging for him to let me go, i let my head fall back and rest against his chest, leaving us lying still, with me listening to his steady heartbeat. He was calm, which shocked me because i was in a deep state of panic after todays events.
