"YOU...you fell in love?" Gwen asked, shocked
"Yeah! Is that so hard to believe" I snapped, I knew she wasn't doing it on purpose, but by how surprised she was it got to me.
Do I really seem that...on my own?
"I'm sorry. Honestly I am, it's just you seem so reserved I didn't pick you as a guy who would would in love with someone and chase them" Gwen explained
And I understood, the room was filled with a somewhat uncomfortable silence
"No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped... I guess I'm just a bit agitated, I haven't been sleeping well and I'm always paranoid and it's- it's just not a good look or feeling" I sighed
Gwen pulled me into a hug "can you tell me about her?" She asked
"Actually is no-" I began but then I remembered Phil, and his reaction to Tubbo.
What if she was like Phil
"Norah... their names Norah" I lied. It hurt to hide Tubbo but I had to... so I could have an attempt at a comfortable life
"Awww, what's she like? Can I ask?" Gwen questioned.
She seemed genuinely curious, but not in an obnoxious way.
"Well" I began "she's short. Like incredibly small, it's adorable, and she has dark black hair that's quite puffy at times and falls just over her eyes, always good for a laugh and knows exactly what to say when I need it"
"Oh my goodness she sounds incredible. I just have one question" Gwen spoke, her face scrunching into a puzzled expression
"Shoot" I fired back
"Why would your manager kick you out?"
It took me a minute to process the question, and then I had to think about it.
The only reason I could think of was because he was homophobic.
But I couldn't say that to Gwen
So instead I said the most reasonable thing that came to mind
"I guess it was because he wanted all the band members to look single so we could get more fangirl?" I questioned and Gwen looked at me and nodded slightly
"I guess that makes sense... its a stupid reason and your manager is an asshole but I suppose he would want all the girls to see you as attainable" Gwen rubbed her chin
"Well since your not in the band anymore, can't you get back with Norah?" Gwen asked
"No!" I shouted, not aggressively just rushed
"No I can't do that... I live in one of my managers houses, because I needed his help, and there's this camera that I'm sure he checks whenever I get home" I explained
"So that's why you don't like going home. You feel invaded... watched?" Gwen added
"Yeah" I sighed
"I'm so sorry... that's awful, can't you call the cops about it because that feels illegal" Gwen recommended
"No no I can't do that, Phil would get me arrested" I panicked
"Woah. Calm down it's ok, he's not here he's not gonna hurt you" Gwen whispered as she pulled me in for a hug
"How could he get you arrested?" She asked
"I hurt someone once... pretty bad" I said, looking down at my feet
"Who?"
