MY WORST FEARS (Completed)

chapter 47

Laila's POV

"Hey what's happening here? I heard both of you shouting at each other from the parking lot", Hellboy hit the side table furiously turning to Vicky.
" its non of your fucking business ", he responded throwing his arms in the air, anger dripping in his voice. He changed abruptly. What was it with the chain? He was happy one moment then suddenly he was hitting tables?
" can you calm down already. Shouting doesn't soot you", Vicky shouted at him, trying to talk sense at the animal. I stood up my hands automatically rushing to the bandaged wound, trying to gain some balance after staggering back almost five steps in a blurry vision.
I felt hands wrapped around my waist and neck, balancing me from falling on the glass table. Hellboy lips were parted as he took me into his hands staring at me. He tried to walk me to my room but I asked him to place me on the couch, afraid of what he'd do to Vicky. He's always been rough to him ever since I knew him.
"You need to rest Lay. Go sleep in your room. I'll take care of this asshole", he said throwing his hands towards Vicky. Vicky tilted wherever he stood uncomfortably. Like he wanted to say something but words stuck on his throat.
" yeah, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Just give me my chain back", I stretched my hands towards him but he just gave me a glare. He seized Vicky down and up before turning to his room.
"I'm not giving you shit", was the last thing he said before banging his door. Vicky chuckled before sitting next to me.
" how are you? I heard what happened from some students and I hurried here as soon as possible ", he said pushing some strands of lock behind my ear. He had a smile on his face that seemed to illuminate my deserted soul. I felt guilty for having to turn down his offer after being so caring to me.
I sighed deeply before telling him how I actually felt about the situation. Since the incidence happened, I wasn't able to share it with anyone as my sister was busy telling me something about my mum that I didn't seem to understand clearly because we had been distracted and Hellboy, well all he did was  just shout at me for merely a stupid chain. But hell yeah, I loved how he saved me from those ladies and showed concern to me. I actually wasn't expecting anything good from him. He caught me by surprise.
" they heartlessly devoured at me in front of everyone. I was so afraid and for a moment I thought I'll never recover from it", I said my voice breaking as my eyes welled up. Vicky turned to me, concern look widely spread across his face as I poured out my fears to him.
"I don't know where she gets the ideas of me stealing her man. I don't even feel anything for Hellboy. He's was mean and rude to me", i said probably winning like a little baby.
" I don't enough know how she knows I'm staying here. Its only you and Hellboy that knows I'm here. And obviously, he wouldn't tell her about it in order to avoid such situations ", I continued
" god, I don't even know what's wrong with me. I should go home and apologize to mum, maybe she'd forgive me. That way I'd avoid my ass getting kicked ", I said breathy. It felt good to finally let that all out. I felt my weight lift  somehow.
" you can always look for another place to stay Lay, before you finally amend things with your mum. I don't think this is the best environment for your recovery and more so, it only brings more problems to you", he placed his elbows on his knees running his hands in his dropped head. Where else would I stay? I had no other place apart from home and Hellboy's. And frankly, I preferred Hellboy's place to my home.
"Vicky, where else would I stay, I have no other place to go", I said plainly. He turned to me with hope as he took my hands in his, shifting his body to face me.
" you can always stay at my place Lay. I think... ", o tried to protest and tell him I didn't think it was necessary when he shushed me and continued. Ours eyes remained locked at each other.
" I know Rymana too well Lay. She will never allow my cousin to be with anybody else. She loves him. That love each other and you staying here will only cause havoc", he concluded and my mouth dropped. I felt a writhing pain knowing hear him say he loved her. Did he? And if he did, why was allowing me to stay in his house? I pushed the thought AF the back of my mind and not allow anything disturbe the peace that I had started building in my mind. Whether he loved her wasn't my business. It was his life and mine was stuck with Don. There was NP way we'd ever separate and it pained me to give Vicky false hopes to wait for me.
Just as Rymana would never leave Hellboy, that's how Don would never allow me to be happy. Why wouldn't they stick together and leave us alone to date other people? I blamed my mum for getting me into so much trouble. Her love for money pissed me off. And the more I remembered, the more I delayed calling her back. I wasn't ready to face everything again.
"Lay, come with me to my house, please", he begged and I just stared at him feeling guilty for the answer I'd give him. I bit my inner lower lip so hard that it actually pained.
" she ain't going anywhere. ", the deep voice said and we turned to him before I could even give Vicky an answer.
" you leave my house now, and never come back here, again ", he said plainly his voice hard and strong that it shook every being in me.
" I'm not leaving without her", the next voice beside me said, grabbing my arm and standing beside me. Whaaaat?
