S1 FINALE
                                         ——————
"His...shipment date? What.." I said in disbelief. No matter what, in that moment I just couldn't express emotion. Is that what happens when you begin to feel empty?

"What?! Hell no she can't do that!" Ray growled, grabbing my hand he dragged me towards the house. I was still in my thoughts processing everything, but I could feel how pissed off Ray was.

"Tch, who does she think she is huh?" He started, "this is absolute bull-"

"Hey Ray, (Y/n)."

Norman stood before us, a sad smile etched into his face.

"So you know about it now huh. I'm sorry that it turned out like this. But, it could be worse."

"Worse? What the hell could be worse than knowing you're gonna be sent to your death?! Huh Norman?" By this point, Ray had let go of me and grabbed Norman by his collar.

"Mama would've broken Emma's leg. She would've snapped your arm, and she would've shipped out (Y/n). Tell me, is that a better option Ray?" Norman said, holding back any aggression he had bottled up.

Ray slowly let go of him, sighed then gave a small laugh.

"None of this is fair. We're only kids, yet we're dealing with a life or death situation here. When did it ever turn out to be like this..?"

Tears began to well up in our eyes, Norman looked as if he wanted to give an answer, but couldn't.

"Ray..." I said softly, hugging him.

"It's too much for us, at this point I'd rather jump off that damn wall." He broke away from the embrace and walked to the house.

As Norman and I watched, Emma came running to our side.

"Hey, where's Ray?" She asked, Norman let out a soft "tch" and walked to the house.

"Norman..?" Emma asked worriedly, but he just brushed her off.

Now it was just me and Emma, overwhelmed by the events.

"(Y/n), Ray and Norman are fighting right?" I nod slowly in response.

"Is this what they want? Right before they go separate ways for good? Is this what friends do?" Pain laced Emma's voice, she sounded in denial, hoping that the answer would be no.

And it was.

"No Emma, I know deep down they both want the best for each other." I look up to the sky, "They know they don't have the time to argue about this. Because if they do, they'll regret it forever."

I turn to Emma and wrap my arms around her, the tears she held back suddenly came flooding out as she cried to her hearts content.

"(Y/n), I don't want them to fight! I don't want us to separate! I don't want to lose Norman too! I..." Emma said between sobs, catching her breath she continues.
