Ray stared. 

And stared. 

Then...

"EMMA!!" He found himself running over, ignoring an unconcious Gilda. He almost slipped in her blood. "Oh my god, Emma why didn't you say you were bleeding so much..."

"Hey, I never said I wasn't..." Emma winced in pain. "I may need... Medical... Attention..."

"Goddammit you're paler than Norman! What the hell Emma... Why didn't you try and stop the blood!"

"Ray... I want... A... Plaster."

"You're freezing."

"I know." Emma clenched her fists against the pain. "Look, I also know you're putting it of becaue you don't know how to give medical attention? Just give me a plaster."

"A plaster? What about the knife, moron? What do we do about the knife?"

"I HAVE NO İDEA!" Hissed Emma. "God, just give me a pain killer or something! I'm hurting like hell, Ray! Come on, just get a plaster!"

Ray was about to start panicking, when a groan came from outside the now broken doorframe.

"Ughhhh...Hello?"

İt was Norman. 

"H...H...HUH? OH MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED...."

There was another silence, then Norman got up.

"NOOOO! I KNEW İT, WE WERE TO LATE... EMMAAAA!!!" He wailed, and collapsed again. 

Emma nudged Ray with her elbow that wasn't covered in blood, and grinned. "See, Norman actually still likes me. You won't even get me a plaster."

"Shut up." frowned Ray. "Norman?"

 Norman groaned. 

"Norman, I'm alive!" announced Emma proudly. "I live."

"Huh?" Norman blinked, then a look of complete relief crossed his face and he ran over. "Emma! Ray! I... God, I really want to hug you guys..."

"I want a hug." Emma nodded. "I need a hug."

"No, you need medical attention." said Ray, but Norman hugged her any way.

"Owwww..." hissed Emma. 

"Oh god I'm sorry Emma! Are you okay? Please tell me I didn't hurt-"

"Norman." Sighed Ray. "Please shut up and tell us what to do."

"Medical... Attention..." croaked Emma.

"Okay." Norman said, and Ray pulled him to his feet.




İt was after about five minutes of rushing around and thinking that they were ready, and Ray had his hand on the knife.

"Okay, close your eyes Emma. This is going to hurt."

Emma shook her head. "I'm okay."

"I can't watch..." Announced Norman, turning away. "Oh god, I can't watch..."

"Please give me a painkiller, Ray..."

"Yeah, Ray, give her a painkiller.

Ray glared at them. "I don't have any. Just... Just block out the pain."

"Okay, if I knew how to do that..."


~Time skip [2 Minutes]~



"Dammit, stay still..."

"I am."

"Emma, why is there a rubber duck in your pocket? İsn't this the one from..."

"Give him back- OW- Norman, make him give it back."

"Ray gave it to you for your 6th birthday... He has the right to take it."

Emma groaned, as Ray finished pouring half the bottle of TCP on her arm. "Norman, bandage."

"Okay, got it." Norman gave a sigh of relief when they bandaged Emma's shoulder. "I'm so glad it didn't go through your arm or hit a vein or anything, Emma. That would've been a disatster."

"Hell yeah." Ray gave a strained laugh. "I mean, I guess...Can you move your arm?"

"Yep. Although it hurts a bit..." 

"We'll find you a pain killer," Norman said. "Don't worry."

Emma nodded, then,

"Guys?"

"Yeah Emma?"

"What?"

"Well..." Emma hesitaited, then bit her lip and closed her eyes. "Well, I... I thought... I mean... I owe you two an... an apology... I..."

"Nah, we can skip all this..." Ray muttered. 

"No, I mean... I'm sorry." Emma started to cry, tears rolling down her face, and she tried to wipe them away with a bloody hand. "I'm so sorry..."

Ray turned away, and she clutched his arm, and grabbed Norman's hand. "No, really. I'm sorry. I totally ignored both of you, and..."

"I'm sorry too." Ray muttered quietley. "I guess... I guess I overreacted."

"Me too. I'm sorry." Norman said sorrowfully.

Emma looked up, and managed a smile. "Norman, you have nothing to say sorry for!"

"Uhm, I... I just said it because you to said it... And, Uh... I mean, I thought you guys-"

"But wait." Frowned Ray. "I mean, I thought..."

"Why?" İnterrupted Emma. "Why did you guys come and help me? I thought... I thought..."

 "I THOUGHT YOU HATED ME!!"

 The three of them said  at the same time, and then stared at each other in surprise.

"OoOhhh..." Said Norman.

Emma started to laugh, Norman joined in, and Ray stared at them before laughing too.

They laughed and laughed and laughed, until there were tears running down their faces, and even then Emma, Norman and Ray didn't stop, becuase nothing was more fun than this, right now.
