The clock on the wall ticks in the silent bedroom you're in. You seem to be the only one awake and you're reading a book in your lap. Instead of focusing on the plot, you're thinking about other things. Norman, Emma's leg, and your fight with Ray are all that you can think about. It's been two days since the argument and neither of you have said a word to each other. You feel your eyes fill with water as you continue to think, so you decide to go into the kitchen and get a glass of water. You stand from your bed and silently walk across the room and into the hallway with no source of light other than the moonlight shining through the windows. You walk into the hallway and start to descend the stairs before your body crashed into another. You get thrown off balance and almost fall down the stairs but the other person catches you, grabbing your shoulders and pulling your body into theirs.
"What are you doing" They whisper with an annoyed tone. You realize that it's none other than Ray.
"So you've decided to talk to me, huh" You snap back. You can't see his expression but you can only assume he rolled his eyes.
"I should've let you fall down the stairs" He says in annoyance, "Now tell me what you're doing down here". He keeps his hands on your shoulders as the two of you stand on the landing of the staircase.
"I- I..." You stutter before tears start to brim your eyes again. You sniffle and although Ray can't see you he picks up on what's about to happen.
"Go on" He says.
"I'm just so overwhelmed with everything. Norman being shipped out and getting into the argument with you really pushed me over the edge. I don't want anything to change, I want it to go back to the way it used to be" You cry as tears stain your cheeks, "It's not like I care that we're fighting I'm still mad at you. You're irrational and closed off and too fast to give up and-" You say before getting cut off. This time you're not cut off by words though. Instead, you're cut off by the feeling of Ray's lips pressed against yours. Your hands fall to your sides as his stay grabbing your shoulders. After a moment, he pulls away and embraces you in his arms.
"I'm sorry" He says in your ear. You stand frozen as his arms wrap around you.
Although it was short, It's probably the only time he'll ever apologize to me.
You sigh and press your head into the crook of his neck, "I forgive you". He keeps his embrace around you before you pull away.
"So what are you doing down here anyway" You ask him.
"I thought I left one of my books on the table in the dining hall but someone took it already" He shrugs.
"Oh" You reply, "Well, I'm going to head back to bed. Goodnight".
"Goodnight" He says before you walk back up the stairs and walk to your bed. You feel as if a weight has been taken off your shoulders from your little rant. The thought of what happened after makes your face burn up but you try and push it away as you lay under your blanket and fall asleep.
