Living With Him

Chapter 23

Danielle's POV:

I laugh along with an adorable Ali-Marie as she jumps in my arms.

"I'm going on the swings" I tell her and she nods as I put her down and watch her run to the slide as I sit beside Mason.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask Mason.

"You just did" he says and I glare at him.

"Don't act clever" I tell him "you know at school, all those times I thought you were involved in a gang because of you having places to go...where you visiting Ali-Marie?" I ask.

"Yes" he answers "

"You seem so close to her" he says looking over at Ali-Marie.

"What can I say, she's like my own little sister" I answer as I swing on the swing.

I look to the side just seeing Mason staring at me "what?" I ask him slowing down.

"You're such a nice person" he says laughing.

"What can I say" I say dramatically as he rolls his eyes.

"I just gave you a compliment which I'm taking back now" he says and I gasp.

"You can't do that" I state with fake anger and he shrugs.

"But I already have" he says.

"You're the meanist person I know" I tell him and he smiles.

"Thanks and I'm taking that as a compliment" he says.

"Well don't because it wasn't" I say.

"Ali-Marie" he calls "want to get an ice-cream?" he asks.

"I want an ice-cream" I say and Ali-Marie runs over.

"Yes" she answers as Mason stands up from the swing.

"You're such a big kid" Mason tells me as I get off the swing taking Ali-Marie's tiny hand in mine.

I fake a smile at Mason as he leads the way to the ice-cream van.

"Hey check this out" I say handing Ali-Marie a rose.

"Wow" she says looking at it with admiration as I put it in her hair.

"Do I look nice?" she asks me.

"You look like a princess" I tell her and she laughs.

"Here you go" Mason says giving Ali-Marie and I an ice-cream.

"Yayy" I cheer like an immature kid.

"I don't want it" Ali-Marie says after a few licks and hands it over to Mason.

I enjoy my ice-cream as Anne comes over with Michelle and Nathan.

I continue eating my ice-cream on the bench as they all chase around.

And I'm the immature one!

I watch as a guy who looks slightly older than Nathan, sits down beside me.

He smiles at me and being the polite person that I am, I return his smile.

As he gets his phone out I take in his attire, he's a pretty good looking guy...

He has light stubble which suits him and he has green eyes which stand out in his dark, smart coat.

He may be good looking but that doesn't mean I'm going to talk to him, firstly he's older than me, he's a stranger and he may be a physcopath for all I know.

"D!" Ali-Marie calls me from the roundabout "spin me around" she screams.

I laugh as I do a weird jog over to her "what's up?" I ask her as she looks tired and everyone looks at her.

"I feel tired" she says rubbing her eyes and climbing off the roundabout as she walks towards us.

"Baby" Anne says as she walks towards her.

As Ali-Marie steps closer she falls and lays on the ground as we all run towards her.

"Ali...Alison...Ali-Marie...honey...wake up...can you hear us?" so many voices around.

I watch as the guy from the bench comes over "Anne?" he says and Anne looks behind at him.

"Sam?" Anne says as she looks at Ali-Marie "we need to take her to the hospital" they both say in unison.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Sam who works in the cancer department knows Anne.

We all sit patiently in the waiting room waiting for an update on Ali-Marie.

We all stand when Dr Sam walks out.

"She's ok at the moment but...thinks are not looking to good" he says apologetically.

"What do you mean?" Mason asks stepping forward "can we do anything to help?".

"We're not sure yet" Dr Sam replies.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mason asks in anger.

"Mason" Anne says "they need to do more tests in order to find out" she explains.

Mason sighs as he walks away but not before punching the wall on the side.

Anne sits down and closes her eys as a tear falls.

I sit beside her giving her a shoulder to cry on.

Mason's POV:

I watch her small body laying on the gigantic hospital bed.

I lean my head against the glass window wondering why this is happening?

Please god, I'll stop being such a jerk or whatever it is that Danni calls me...bad boy? I can't give that up haha but God please just help my innocent little sister!

I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to face my mother.

She looks at me and glances at Ali-Marie with pain and hope visible through her eyes.

She opens her arms for me and I jump straight in them.

The comfort of a mother is the best comfort ever!
