Love Story

0.4

I couldn't see anything as I blasted the door open. There was nothing but darkness there. There was no one around when I turned on the light. Dangerous thoughts were surfacing.

I exclaimed, "Grandma!! Grandma!! Where are you? "What happened?" claiming that I entered her room.

I opened the door to find her not there, but there was a piece of paper on the table next her bed. I reached for the paper and took it from the table. There was writing on it, and I recognised it as Grandma's writing.

* Kate come to your room *

"What!? " My heart began to beat quickly. I exited her room and made my way back to my. I was taking baby moves towards there. I stood in front of my room, but I was too afraid to open the door.

I was terrified of what would happen to granny; is there a thief holding my granny captive, and if so, how many? Did they hit my grandmother for money? What could possibly have happened!?

I sighed and cautiously placed my palm on the handle, gathering all of my bravery.
When I opened the door, there was a loud noise.
"Surprise!!!"

I leapt off and saw Mark standing there with a cake in his hand. I was perplexed.

"What the hell is going on?" "Chill Kate, it was just a joke," I exclaimed, and he smiled.

"What?? Was it all a joke? Who told you to play this foolish prank? Do you know what happened to me as a result of your dumb prank?" I yelled, and his smile faded.

"Where is Grandma??" I confronted him angrily.
Slowly, he became terrified and replied, "Sh-she is out for two days."

"Where?? And why didn't she tell me?"

"She told me to inform you"

"And you thought it was a joke, right?" Do you realise how hazardous your prank was? I-I assumed something major had happened to her, and my worst fears were realised. "How, how can you do this?" my voice trembled, tears streaming down my cheeks.

Mark approached me and I pushed him away, but he returned and hugged me. I was so angry at him that I tried to break free from his grip, but I couldn't. I gave up trying and cried on his arms.

"I'm sorry Kate, I didn't mean to scare you."
"I was simply trying to cheer you up. I want you to go to Australia happily, without fear or sadness," he said as he tightened his grip.

"Does this type of prank help you cheer someone up?"

"I'm sorry, Kate," he said, breaking the hug and forcing me to look up. He touched his ears and pleaded, "I'm sorry, give me punishment, but please don't cry."

I held him, and we stood there for a half hour. After he broke the hug, he apologised once more.

"Okay, I forgive you, but don't do anything like this again."

"I swear to my lady, I will never do such a thing again."
I smiled and inquired, "Why did you decorate the room??"

"I want to tell you something," he exhaled, "I've kept this thing in my heart for decades, but I'll tell you today."

I gave him a puzzled look and asked, "What is it??"
He got up, walked to the drawer, and grabbed something out.
