Guns and Roses

Chapter 26 - Gunshot in Library

Dana's pov -

I take the book and be the bigger person. I walked to the front and buy the book. I was going to stay here and relax but clearly I have some  'fans'

Not

I huff and placed the book on the counter. I looked down into my purse for my library card.

I search in my purse for it, suddenly laughter was heard around me. I lifted my head up and see the group of boys and the middle one with a name tag. Okay so he works here.

He was smirking and laughing with his friends. What's so funny? I should be a comedian if I'm just standing here and their laughing hard.

I lazily put the card on the counter and stared at them with my bored filter. They continue making ugly jokes and I roll my eyes.

"Look look" one of them said and held a mirror to my face. I stared at the mirror as they drew a bunch dynamites and very wrong things on it. I stared at myself and didn't want to show them I'm effected by it.

"You're right I do look beautiful today! Thank you so much kind strangers." I gave them a very big smile and slight high pitch voice to annoy them.

Kill 'em with kindness.

They stared at me annoyed and rolled their eyes. "No you dumb shit, you look terrible." Another one insulted. Then suddenly they took the book again.

I looked at them angry. "Give me my book!" I shout a little louder now. Luckily no one comes here, I wonder why. Note the sarcasm.

"Oooo she's mad! She'll bomb us!!" One of them screamed faking himself to look scared. I rolled my eyes and clench my fists tighter.

"Thanks for the idea you know what!" I said and took my purse out and they all didn't say a word and I heard some shuffle away.

This shouldn't be so fun. "Y-you're going to bomb us?" One said with fear filled in his tone and anger filled in me. They made fun of me and harassed me, I have every rights to scare them.

"Yes! I know where you live! Lock your doors tonight" I said with a serious tone and took my book from the counter. I walked to the door and turned around one more time and see them talking while smirking.

I rolled my eyes and walked out of this toxic place. How dare they.

I ain't afraid.

Sitting by the window, while the sunsets. A book in my hands and some soft Lofi music playing through my wired headphones.

I love this zen.

I closed the book softly as I finished it all day today. It's kinda a short book but one of the bests. I love the ending so much.

I hugged the book to my chest as I looked at the sky looking darker than a minute ago. I look down at the book and back at the time. Bilal isn't home yet so I could get it over with and return the book now.

I don't want to ever go back to that library. But I know I will return the book late and get charged a fee. And it's a perfect time since Bilal isn't here till late and tomorrow i have work so I'll be extra busy and won't be able to bring it then.

I changed my cloth into something comfy but hidden. It's chilly outside.

I put the book in my tote bag and my phone. I opened the door and walked towards the terrible place.

Once I arrived I see the lights still on and they are open, thank god. I opened the door and felt like leaving the book there and leave but I know I have to show it to him and he has to scan it.

Ugh

I go to the counter and waited for someone to show up. It was pretty empty.

Then the same guy from before with the name tag and that works here came to me with a nasty smirk. I smiled widely just to annoy him.

He was a red head. I think you will get the rest with that info.

I placed the book on the counter and picked it up and scanned it. He took my card and purposely took his dear time.

"Name." He said. "Dana Noori" I said and he was typing some stuff. "I'm Erin." He said and I nodded not really caring.

"And that's Jack, Cam, zack, and Miles." He said smirking and I looked at him confused. I turned around and see them all sitting in chairs by the door. Blocking it.

I rolled my eyes at their childish behavior I faced him again. "Give me my card." I said sternly and he laughed. "Okay." He said and lifted his hand up but threw it to the boys. I closed my eyes in annoyance.

I see one of them recording.

"Give it!" I yell echoing the empty library but they only laugh and stood up. "Aww Dana, I don't feel like it." The zack dude said and came closer.

I lifted my hand and pushed him slightly but he purposely threw himself on the floor and secretly took a bag of red stuff and spoiled it to his nose he turned around from the floor with 'blood' on his nose

What the—- I stared at him confused and disgusted by this childish joke. His friend was recording my face so he didn't get zack applying the fake blood.

"Forget it I'm leaving." I said gritting my teeth but one of them suddenly took my bag and ran to the bathroom.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!" I yell annoyed and they laughed. This is getting too far. "I'm calling the police!!" I yell but remembered my phones in the bag.

Perfect!

I watched as zack came front and gets a gun, I gasped and covered my mouth in horror.

Will he shoot me??? He gets the gun and points it at his arm and closed his eyes. I backed away but one of them pulled me forward and my body collapsed on his.

The sound of a very very low volume gunshot was heard. It wasn't loud, a different type of gun.

Wait!
