Guns and Roses

Chapter 43 - Threat Note

——

Dana's pov -

She has cancer.

The walls felt like they were falling on me. They were getting tighter and tighter. I felt like I couldn't breath.

I knew something was wrong. This is all Papas fault. He's been feeding her poison! Why am I even surprised at this point.

I looked at him with tears gathering my eyes. My lovely mama has cancer.

She's been through so damn much. I just want her peaceful at this point. This world did nothing but caused her pain her entire life.

And here is her son laughing and so joyful she has cancer.

I stared at him with glossy eyes.

"You're sick." I muttered out with a broken voice and he looked at me.

"Thank you. But this is good, this mother deserves to be in pain, and I'll give it to her." He said clenching his jaw and left the apartment wile slamming the door.

I opened the door and ran outside and see him already in his car with his stuff inside already and he gets inside.

I ran outside.

"BILAL! NO! I WANNA GO BACK! I WANT TO GO BACK! TAKE ME BACK!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and felt hot tears streaming down my cheek.

I want mama.

I just want mama.

I felt down on my knees as I watched him drive away.

I sat on the ground with tears pouring out of my eyes. "M-mama.." I sobbed and watched as his car slowly drove off.

Ya Allah what did I do.

I sat on the couch and admired the clean apartment. I cleaned everything and decorated it a bit too.

If looked good enough.

I had to move the tv that's in Bilals room and moved it to the living room and set it up.

It was hard but there's nothing I can't do.

I hear the a knock on the door. I slowly go to it and take a deep breath before opening it.

I twisted the handle and opened the door. I see grey with his hands full of bags. Ooo that must be for me.

"Here let me—" I said and tried to hold some too but he pulled away. I looked up at him.

"Okay gentlemen, you can come in." I giggled and let the door wide open and let him in.

We're night owls if you couldn't tell.

He placed the bags in the tiny kitchen and I put the ice cream in the freezer and gets all the chips in the living room.

"Thank you Grey." I said and gestured him to sit down. I sat on the same couch but there was a big gap between us.

"I hope you don't mind the tiny place." I smiled and tried to ignore his gaze. I'm still not feeling well about before but I can't just cancel.

I needed to change my mind somewhere else.

I get the remote and looked through for a movie. I don't know what to put on. "What should we watch Grey?" I said and finally looked at him and was slightly startled by the way he wasn't already looking at me.

"Horror..?" I said unknowingly and he didn't say anything so I clicked the first movie. 'The Conjuring.'

I looked away and get one of the bags he brought and I started to look for snacks. He got everything.

Comfort food.

I get a bag of some potato chips out and take a few bits. I reached the chips over to Grey and he looked at me and then the gap between us.

He looked away and to the tv while his his reached over to my waist and pulled me closer to his body.

My legs were touching his legs which were spread out. I looked at him with emotions running through my body.

He takes some chips out of the bag and ate it. I stared at him in shock still. He didn't glance at me and kept his focus infront.

After awhile, I got my potato chips and added masala to it. I came out the kitchen and shook the bag up well.

I went to the sofa and see grey laid down. His head on a pillow while his legs slightly dangling from the sofa since it's short. He was also laying sideways.

I smile and walked to him.

"Here." I said and he looked at it confused. He reached in and took one out full of masala. Darn, he got a good one.

He took a bite. I admired how his face slowly turned into a unpleasant one.

He looked at me and sighed. "It's good." He said and I giggled. "Alright buddy." I then walked to the other couch and laid down.

I munch on many other chips while watching the movie. It was getting a bit intense and scary now.

I was scared to put my feet down. What if something grabs me.

I jumped when there were jump scares. I'm not scared I just jumped accidentally. I don't get scared like that.

I like horror.

I looked at Grey and see him peacefully laying and watching the move with a Twizzler in his mouth.

Maybe I should go to him and stay there for a bit. But what if something grabs my foot while I walk.

Im not scared it's just, 'what if's'

"Grey.." I said in a soft voice and he looked at me immediately.

"Can I stay with you." I said and looked at at him. There was no where to sit in that sofa but it's better than this one.

He slowly sits up and looked at me. "Come here." He said and I shook my head.

"I'm not scared but what if something grabs my feet from under the couch." I said and trying to act tough. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"Here." He said held his hand out to me and I slowly took it. "Don't let go." I said softly and quickly run to his sofa and basically fell on him.

I put my legs up immediately and smiled. I slightly gasped when he pulled me down to his arm that was out for me to lay and my body immediately pressed against his warm one.

I couldn't feel my body anymore.

I looked at the tv but didn't feel as frighten. I watched as his hand slowly landed on my waist and rubbed it softly.

Soothing.

I watched from the window as his car drove away. I know I shouldn't say this but I was kinda bummed out when he left.

He had some work thing so he left earlier than he should have. I was so comfortable too.

I turned off the tv and stood in the silent living room. I hate the creepy vibe already. I sighed and laid on the sofa where he was.

It smelled like him now. Now I'm the creep. I take off my hijab and let my hair breath. It felt so good. Especially after a long day.

I went into the kitchen to get some water but stopped in my tracks. There's a a letter taped on the kitchen window.

I gulped and slowly walked to it and take it. Did Bilal do this? But i remember opening and closing this window after he left. I open the letter slowly and unfold the paper.

The blood from my body ran away as I looked at what's written in red.

'I don't like him around you. Why did you reject me so many times but he's okay?'
