Not What I Expected (Dinah/You)

Chapter 43

Dinah POV

       "Cheylise Na'Veah Y/LN, Daughter of Y/N Y/LN, Still Has Not Been Found." "Y/N Y/LN daughter has still yet to be found. Please contact the police if you know or seen anything." "Please contact authorities if you have any information about the kidnapping of Cheylise Y/LN."
      Those have been the headlines of every news station, magazine, social media post, newspaper and online article for the past week. And for the past week everything has went down hill. Y/N had canceled her last show but her fans understood under the circumstances. After the tour finished Y/N hasn't left her house but to go to the police station to gather information. They found the car that the kidnapper had gotten away in but they didn't find him or Cheylise in the car just a note. The note stated that she wasn't going to be able to find Cheylise.
     Y/N won't allow anybody into her house besides me and her family. Normani notified their family and they came out here and started to help searching for the youngest member of their family. They've been staying at Y/N's and Y/N has trapped and locked herself in her room. The only person she allows in the room is me. No we didn't break up that night at the fair. I wouldn't do that in a million years.
     Right now I'm sitting on the bed with my back against the headboard while Y/N lays her head in my lap. Ms. Barbara rushes into the room. "I think I know who has her. Your father had been missing for a week. His job called me asking if I knew where he is and to notify him that he's fired." As the words leave her mouth Y/N quickly sits up. "So he has my child?" She says between gritted teeth. "It's not a definite but it's our best shot. He's been missing as long as Cheylise has." Y/N starts putting on her shoes. "Babe where are you going?"
"To look for that mother-" "Finish it. I want you to finish that sentence so I can slap the shit outta you." Her mom says looking at her with her arms crossed. "I'm going to look for his dumbass. I don't care if you have problems with me being gay. That's between me and him. But he brought my first born and currently my only child into this. I'm not showing any mercy nor remorse for him. If he wants to come after somebody it's me not my daughter." Y/N states looking at me. "Babe I know your mad but seeking revenge on him isn't going to solve anything. Let the police find him and catch him and bring Cheylise home to us. I miss her as much as you do. I love her as much as you do. Your not the only one hurting. Melanie is too. I checked on her and she isn't the same."
"I don't care about Melanie. Melanie hasn't done shit for Cheylise and you think I'm going to care for her hurting. Name one thing she's done fo-" "When you was hiding her she was in her care! She was taking care of her for 1 1/2 years of her life. That is the mother of the child that you adore. Whether she was a good parent or not you should care if she was hurting. She loves Cheylise as much as you do. She might have needed an extra push to show it but that doesn't mean that she never did." She chuckles lowly. "So you sticking up for her now? What you team Melanie now? I thought you was on my team?"
"I've always have and will be on your team. But I'm not going to sit here and let you discredit her for what she's done to mold your child! As much as you've been sitting here crying she's done the same. Just like you told me to have respect for her since she's the mother of your child, I'm going to tell you the same. Respect her because without her there would be no Cheylise." I get up from the bed and walk out the room walking past her. I go down stairs and see Normani on the couch. "Mani can you take me to Melanie's so we can check on her?" Mani nods her head and she grabs her car keys and walk out the door with me following out behind her.
     We both get in the car and Mani starts up the car and pulls out the driveway onto the street. We sit in the car for 20 minutes in silence. "You know," she says taking a glance at me then back at the road. "I heard what you said. I'm glad you let her know that she was being selfish. We all want Cheylise back home. And you checking her about Melanie was the right thing to do. We all don't like Melanie for our own reasons but she brought us all the little light that we have into this world. And hearing it come from you will make her realize how selfish she was being just then." I nod my head not knowing what to say. "I'm also happy that your sticking by her side throughout all of this." "I wasn't planning on leaving. I love Cheylise like she was my own. That's my daughter as much she is Y/N and Melanie's." She nods her head as she pulls into the driveway of Melanie's house.
      We both get out of the car after Normani turns it off. We walk up to the door and I knock on the door. Three minutes go by and then Melanie opens the door. She looked a mess. "Hey Mel." She raise her hand and waves it. Then walking away to the living room. I take in her appearance. She looks the exact same the last time I seen her. In her red robe with mascara running down her face and her lipstick smudged. "Melanie have you eaten yet?" She nods her head. "Have you showered cause girl something ain't smelling right." Normani says holding her nose.
       Melanie looks at her and then back at the wall. I get up and sit next to her. "Melanie you have to take care of yourself. I know you miss Cheylise but she wouldn't want you to be like this. She would want to see you how she always sees you." I say rubbing her back. "I came here to tell you something. We think we might have a lead. Y/N's dad has been missing for the same amount of time Cheylise has. We think he might have her." She looks at me with wide eyes. "Then why won't he just give her back? I just want my child." She lets out. "She doesn't have the best relationship with her father. He disowned her because she's gay. And--" "I don't care if he doesn't like her because she's gay. I just want my damn child back. My world right now is not the same without her. I just want my daughter back." She sobs out. "We all want her back, but right now all we have to do is wait and let the police do their job." Normani says as she walks and sits on the other side of Melanie.
"Okay. Well I'm going to take a shower." "Amen to that because lord that smell was not heavenly." As Melanie gets up she gives Normani and stank look and I laugh. "Hurry up so we can go get something to eat. I know your hungry and so is your baby momma." She nods her head and goes upstairs.

"Babe I brought food!" I yell walking in the house. I don't see anyone in the living room so me, Melanie, and Normani walk into the kitchen. The first thing I notice are the police and men in black suits. "Babe, Melanie, Mani this is the police and the FBI. They're here to talk about Cheylise." Y/N says. Melanie starts to cry. "Where's my daughter?" "Ma'am she's not in the state of California anymore. Someone spotted her in the Midwest with older men on the highway. The men was identified as Michael Y/LN and Gabriel Y/LN. We are handing over her case to the FBI. This is now a federal case so we have to hand it over to them." Officer Roberts, a police officer that was working on the case says.
"We have our best people working on getting your daughter back. Mr. Y/LN has many warrants out for his arrest. Because of him going missing we think he is a part of other kidnappings. We have men in every state from the Midwest to the east coast looking for him. We even have the Canadian authorities helping us. We are doing everything to get you guys daughter back." One of the guys in the suit said.
"How long will it take?" Mama Drea says. "Well with tips from people spotting her because of Y/N being famous it shouldn't take more then a couple of weeks or so. We are trying to find out where he is headed." "BOSTON! That's where he's headed. We were born there and that's where he is originally from. I remember Christina saying  she seen him come by every once in a while." Y/N says. The other guy in the suit makes a phone call walking out the house. "Thank you for that. We're going to be right on that. Here's my card. Tell me the address of where Christina lives and where the house is. We will keep on touch on any information that we get." He hands Y/N the card and shakes her hand. "Thank you. I really appreciate it. We all do. I just want my baby girl back." "We understand. My name is Richard and my partner is James. We will keep in touch." Y/N nods her head and he walks out of the kitchen.
"My brother and father have my daughter. This is some bullshit." Y/N slams her hands on the table. "Y/N calm down. They are going to find her." Barbara says. "Calm down!? My daughter is in the hands of the men that hurt me and you want me to calm down!? If your husband can hurt me and Ayana you don't think he would do the same to her? He raped you and you think he won't do the same to her!? The nigga ain't got no remorse for no one. He's doing this because of me! Because I'm the gay child. You don't know how it feels to be the reason why your child has been taken from you! I gotta sit here and act sane for the sake of y'all, my baby mother and my child but I can't do that if the person that keeps me sane ain't here. I don't want to hear shit about calming down. My child is in the hands of clearly a more dangerous man than we all thought and you guys want me to calm down!? Man I'm out." Y/N says as she gets up from her place at the table.
     I put the food on the table and run after her. Getting into her all black jeep after she starts it. "Dinah get out." "No I'm tired of you going off on everyone else like everyone else ain't hurt! What about me Y/N? What about me? You've been treating me like shit since you found out and I've been putting up with it ever since. I miss her too, you think I don't miss getting woken up by her every morning? You think I don't miss seeing her face everyday or hearing her voice? Or the fact that everyday I get a picture drawn by her of the three of us and now I haven't gotten one for a week? Your not the only one hurting! And I'm sick and tired of you running away and pushing everyone away that's trying to comfort you. Running away isn't going to help get Cheylise back."
      After the words left my mouth sobs came from hers. I shut the car off and go over to her side straddling her lap. I hold her. I hold her as she cries. "I'm sorry Dinah. I didn't know you felt like that. It's just all of this is my fault." I hold her face in my hands and look her in her tearful eyes. "It's not your fault, it's none of our faults. That man is sick in the head. And I'm not the only person that you should be saying that to. You have a whole house of people that your should tell that too." She nods her head. "Can we just stay here for a few? I just want to hold you." I nod my head and she wraps her arms around me. "Please don't leave me Dinah. I'm sorry babe. I love you." "I don't plan on leaving. I'm here to stay. Your stuck with me remember. I love you too. But let's get inside okay and you can hold me upstairs after you eat." She nods her head and opens the door grabbing the keys out the ignition. I get out the car first and then she follows pressing the button to lock the doors.
      We walk in the house and find everyone in the living room. "I just want to say I'm sorry for the way that I've been acting lately towards each and every one of y'all. I've been acting like none of you are hurt either and I just want to apologize for my actions. I hope you guys can forgive me." Y/N says once she reaches the living room. The room breaks into a series of it's fine and it's okay. "Y/N your not going through this alone. Everyone is here for you and Melanie. We're all family and we have to stick together to get through this. She going to be back home." Mama Drea says. "I know. I just need her back. I'm not the same without her." Y/N says shaking her head looking down. I grab her hand and squeeze it tight. "We know. It's just gonna take time. She'll be here with everyone before you know it." She just nods her head and goes in the kitchen.

"Babe the girls are here to see you." "Hi Y/N." Lauren says with a stuffy nose as she makes her way to the foot of the bed. "Lo, what's wrong?" Y/N gets up and sits next to Lauren pulling her on her lap. If it was anybody else I would've been upset but it's Lauren and I know that those two are just best friends. And plus Lauren would never do that to me. "I miss her and I hate seeing you like this. Cheylise was like a little sister to me and just for her to get taken away from us is just an eye opener. Just because a person decides to love someone of the same sex doesn't mean that they should be treated any differently. He took your child away like she was nothing. She means a lot to me and I just can't face the fact that she is gone. Who just takes someone's kid?" She says as she cries.
    Lauren and Cheylise have a bond that I think no one can break. Cheylise loves being around Lauren as much as she loves being around me and Y/N. The way the two of them act when they're with each other is something special. You don't just see that with two people. You can honestly tell that the two of them are best friends. "It's going to be okay. I know that Cheylise is fine because she looks up to strong women. She looks up to the five of you and you guys are the most strongest women she knows besides me and I thank you guys for that. I thank you guys for showing her what it means to be a women of a different color and race. I love you guys more than anything. Friends, cousin, and girlfriend." Y/N says looking at all of us. "We love you too Y/N." Camila says.
     Camila walks over and hugs her and the rest of us follow her doing the same thing.
