It had been about two days since my mom left me with Norman and his family.  To be honest what she did hurt alot but I understand why she did it so I don't hate her for it. I do hate Liam though. I still texted mom everyday to make sure she was OK and it seemed like she was .

Mr petter set up an appointment for today for me to get stitches for the cuts on my back. He offered to let me have a room of my own to stay in but I mostly spend my time with Norman in his room. We sleep together every night and spend almost every hour of are day together. I just want to be with him . I don't know why I just feel like if I leave him for even a minute he'll disappear forever. I hope he's not annoyed with me.

I was in my room getting dressed into a loose shirt since ill probably have to take it off at the hospital. My room was almost exactly like normans. Mom had brought all of my stuff from liams house and dropped it off here but I didn't have much. Mostly just clothes and books.

I heard a knock on my door and I opened it to see Norman smiling. "I thought you were supposed to be at school today " I told him but he shook his head. "Dad said I could skip today so I can be at the hospital with you". I smiled and hugged him. He hugged me back and patted my head.

I pulled away and grabbed my phone. Norman and I both walked to the living room and Peter was there waiting for us. Olivia had decided to go to work today because Peter wouldn't be there and the company needed someone there.

"You ready to go"? Peter asked and I nodded. The ride to the hospital was quiet. I was nervous because I read several books were characters needed to get stitches and everyone if them said it hurt alot. Norman noticed that I looked nervous so he held my hand and rubbed the back of it with his thumb. I smiled at him and felt a little bit better.

Once we got to the hospital we got checked in and I had to leave Norman and Peter.  The nurse took me to a room and told me to take off my shirt which I did so.

I don't remember alot all I know was that they gave me a shot to numb the pain a little bit but it still hurt like hell.

It took about an hour until I could leave the room but when I did I only saw Peter. I don't know why but I got really scared. Were was Norman. Did he leave. Is he OK.

Peter sighed some papers and we left. But without Norman. "Um sir what about norman" I asked Peter and he just smiled down at me and didn't say anything.  I was really scared now. The ride back to the house was quiet and I was more scared then when I was going to the hospital.  Is Peter going to kill me. Did he lie about who he really is. I can't move very well because of the stitches.  Will I be able to escape. What about Norman. What did he do to Norman.

We got back to the house and I made a  plan to myself. Once inside make up an excuse to go to my bed room, grab my stuff and run. Once we got inside it was dark. Peter turned on the lights and in front of me was.

"NORMAN". I ran up to him and hugged him and he smiled and hugged back. "Sorry I left you there but I want to show you something". I let go of him but held his hand and stayed close. Norman led me into the living room were there was a big cake and alot of snacks. And best of all Emma don and Gilda were there to.

"SUPRISE" Emma and don yelled and Gilda walked up to me. "Are you feeling better Norman told us what happened ". I smiled and nodded. "Thanks you guys" they all smiled.

That night Emma, don, Gilda, Norman and I went to normans room. We played video games, ate, talked, and told scary stories. 

This was my first time having a party so this was all fairly new to me but it was so much fun. Eventually Norman turned on a movie and almost everyone was asleep except Emma and I. Gilda was asleep with her head on Emmas lap and Norman was cuddled up to my waist. Don was spread out on the floor.

Emma was stroking Gilda hair when she said"so Norman was telling the truth". I smiled at her and nodded. "I guess so". Emma sighed and smiled" I'm glad ".

"Hey Emma what happend between you and Norman I know you to dated but why do you hate him so much"? I asked.  Emma sighed. Will I finally get the answer to the question I've been wondering for so long.

"Well you see" Emma started. "I was normans first girlfriend and he was my first boyfriend ". It made sense now. Emma was completely clueless about the was Norman was going to be. And Norman had said it before. He had genuine feeling for people but once he actually got them he lost interest. He must've hurt Emma alot when he dumped her.

"Norman and I were dating for like 2 months when he out of no were broke up with me and the next day was in the hallway making out with someone else".

"I'm sorry that happend Emma" Emma shook her head and smiled at me. "That was in the past and I can see it clearly Norman loves you way more then he ever did me". I smiled down at Norman and started playing with his hair. "I guess I should also thank him".

I looked at Emma confused but she continued "if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have met don and Gilda".

"What do you mean"?

Emma smiled. "Well when he broke up with me I was absolutely heat broken.  I shut myself off from everyone and wasn't as energetic.  One day during lunch I was sitting alone in the bathroom crying when Gilda walked in. She saw me and sat next to me. She didn't talk she just put my head on her shoulder and stayed. I told her everything that happend and she just listened. I think we were in that bathroom for an hour. After I talked to her I felt better so i went to her house and stayed the night. The next day she introduced me to don. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be the person I am today ".

I smiled. She went through a something bad but even so she found happiness.  Just thinking of her story makes me think. Maybe mom leaving me here isn't such a bad thing for me after all. Maybe something good can happen. I'll just have to wait.
