Guns and Roses

Chapter 12 - Bittersweet

Dana's pov -

I was assigned to a child's room. Apparently they came later last night and threw up blood nonstop.

Now here I am face to face with a child that looks pale and unhealthy. I smile softly and sat down.

"Hi hon I'm your personal nurse I would love if you tell me your name?" I said softly as possible and the little girl smiled and nodded cheerfully.

"I'm Bella, and I'm 6 years old." She said playing with a stuffed animal and shyly looking at me.

"What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Can you honey tell me what happened last night?" I said rubbing my arm harshly to calm my nerves which I don't know why.

"Well I-I went to sleep and woke up with a stomach ache so I went to the bathroom but started throwing up a-and a-a-and it was red!" She started crying at the end with fear full in her eyes.

My heart clenched seeing this happen to her. I held her hands and rubbed it softly.
"Hey shh, you will be all better sooner and better alright?" I said and under my breath I whispered, 'inshallah'

The door slowly opened after a knock, i see Laura come in with some papers for her test results. "Doctor Kim is coming.." she said smiling and left out.

As we waited for the doctor i got to know a little more about this cutie. And soon enough the doctor knocked on the door and came inside.

"Hi miss Bella." Doctor Kim said and sat down on a stool and picked up the file.
"How are you hon?" She said smiling at the little girl and she clenched her tiny hands in mine.

"A b-bit nervous.." she said and her other hand clenched her teddy tightly.

"And there's nothing to be nervous, by the looks of the situation I'm pretty sure it was food poisoning." Doctor Kim said chuckling softly and opened the file.

"O-okay.." Bella mumbled. I smiled and admire the cute little girl. She had adorable mochi cheeks but her skin looked slightly paler than usual.

Doctor Kim took her glasses off immediately and looked back at the child. I frown and looked at her confused.

"Call her parents immediately." She said sternly and stood up heading to the computer and started typing.

I nod and head to the wall phone and called front desk to bring down her parents.

After awhile a elder women walked in with a worried look.

"Nana..!" bella yelled and the elder women rushed to her and held her hands.

"Are her guardian?" Doctor Kim said turning to them and the women nodded. "I'm her only guardian, I'm her grandma." She said looking worried.

I stood on the other side of the girl.

"Well the results we took double times showed she has...stomach cancer.." Doctor Kim said looking gloomy.

My heart dropped to my stomach. I felt my legs go wobbly.

"C-cancer." The women said breathily. Bella
Started crying as her grandmother also sobbed.

My heart was clenching at each second. "Get the other doctors." Doctor Kim said looking very hurried.

My heart can't bare this. It's been sadder when I can't do anything about it.

——

I watched as the rain drops hit the cement floor. I hate feeling my emotions. I hate it when I cry.

I hate it so much.

I hate the way I act, whenever I speak I just wanna put permeant glue on my lips to seal myself shut.

Here I am sitting at a bus stop bench. There was a clear roof over me but that didn't mean there wasn't any cold.

It was slightly windy too. The rain was very heavy.

I'll just wait till the rain stops so I can walk home. It's also late. I hate my shifts but I shouldn't really complain.

I held my bag to my chest as the cold air touched me. I hear a vehicle stop in front of the stop. I looked and see a familiar police car. I smile and walk to it.

Rafael pov -

"Hi grey!" A cheerfully voice said making me want to knock their teeth out. I clench my fists and looked at her.

I fucking hate that nickname.

"Grey it's kinda raining..I know I said I won't ask for rides back but you see I'm in a situation currently. It's also ridiculously cold. Rain is amazing but—" I shut her up by unlocking the door and she smiled.

She came inside filling my car with her sweet strawberry smell.

I put my one hand on my thigh and the other on the wheel forcing slowly in the rain.

"Grey do I have to move out? I physically can't..." I heard her voice say. She sounded worried and conceded.

I coldly looked at her and back at the road.

"No we got police surrounded your place and new cameras that run live." I said with no emotions lingering my voice.

"Oh okay good." She said relived making me angry. How could anyone be relived that a monster will fucking kill them any time. But they want to stay-? Imma fucking loose my mind.

"Grey?" Her soft voice cut my train of thought. God she fucking is goin to make me loose my mind.

"OH MY ALLAH TURN BACK YA ALLAH OH NO GOD GOOO BACK NOW!! MOVE YOU MAN!" Her sudden yelled made me loose control of the wheel suddenly.

Her small hands slapping my biceps like I did something.

What the fuck is going on. The way my heart is pounding in chest. I turned the car around immediately.

Unknowingly she held my free hand tightly in her small soft one. I was confused driving like a Maniac away from her place.

"What?!!??" I yelled over her screaming and she was practically almost ontop of me.

"GREY HE SAW US OMG IM DEAD WHY DIDNT YOU GO FASTER!!" She yelled laying low making me confused.

"Fucking what?" I said confused and mad.

She started whispering some things under her breath and looking at the ceiling. Is she doing which craft...

"Ya allah.." she said loudly and started whispering things again.

I looked at the ceiling to see what she's looking at. "What! Why did you scream!?" I said angrily and she looked a bit startled at my deep voice all of a sudden.

"Grey. I think I might die.." she said looking so nervous.

She what?
