Roses ♢ Tanner Braungardt

18: Notes

Kasey's POV
It's been a week since I got out of the hospital. I've been getting notes. When I say notes, I mean notes from Lexi. She sends me threatening notes.

Tanner won't let me leave his house. I told him everything about my dad, and he packed me a bag and I've been staying at his house for a while now. My sister has been staying at her friend's house.

Tanner's mom and brother and sister have really accepted me. I love this family. I love Tanner. Our relationship has only grown stronger.

Tanner doesn't leave my side. When he has to go to Walmart to get stuff for a video, he brings me. He hasn't gone working out with Quentin since I've gotten the first note.

When him and Quentin go to IHOP at midnight they bring me. I feel like they need alone time, but there is no way I can change Tanner's mind. Once he's made up his mind, there's no use in trying to change it.

I decide that today I'm going to try and make him let me do something on my own. Right now we're at my house and I'm in my room while he's in the kitchen getting us snacks.

I hear the doorbell ring. "I'll get it!" Tanner yells towards me. I hear him open the door and faint murmurs.

Then, Tanner walks into the room with a confused expression painted across his amazing face. (What did I just write?)

I look down and in his arms is a package. He walks over to my bed, where I'm sat, and hands me the package. "It's for you" he says angrily.

"What's a'matter?" I ask as I look down to see who it's from. The package is addressed to me, from 'Your Lover Babe' what the hell?

I stare, puzzled, at the nickname on the package. This must be one of Lexi's sick jokes.

"Have something you want to say?" Tanner asks me expectantly.

I shake my head. "I-I don't know what this is.. Tanner you haven't left my side! You have to know this isn't what it looks like, and if you don't believe me, well-"

He cut me off. "If I don't believe you, well what? How could I even think that you wouldn't get sick of me? I'm a clingy asshole! But did you really have to cheat on me??" He yells.

There aren't many things that scare me, but yelling is. And can I just tell you, after Tanner yelled at me I had backed up so much. I had a few tears making their way down my cheeks. (Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound, sorry I had to)

"I-I'm so sorry, Kasey. But wouldn't you be mad if I got a package from someone with that nickname?!" Tanner says, voice softer now.

I don't reply, instead I rip the package open. I see a small box inside and a note.

The note reads:
"Why don't you use these? If you go deep enough your life will be over and I can have Tanner. Speaking of Tanner, how did he react to Your Lover Babe? Thought that would be a nice add-on. Tootaloo!! ~L"

I warily opened the box to reveal a bunch of razor blades that looked like they were unscrewed from a pencil sharpener.

I covered back up the box and slid everything back into the packaging and threw it on the floor.

I pulled my knees to my chest and covered my face to start yet another crying episode. I feel my body being pulled into Tanner's warm embrace.

Why am I so god-damn emotional?
