One Summer

ELEVEN

And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
'Cause wherever you are is home
Home
Wherever you are is home
Home

IVEN

Nora hasn't came out of her dorm all day she's been distant since last night I don't know what I done wrong

The girls are also confused they said she's been locked up in her room since and she hasn't come out

Once the clock hits six thirty I go get her some dinner and see what's up with her

I got her two slices of Chicago deep dish pizza and chocolate ice cream her comfort snack

I make my way to her dorm and walk inside shutting the door behind me no one seems to be here

I walk to Noras door and knock lightly "Nora" she doesn't answer but I hear shuffling so she's inside "Come on Nora tell me what's wrong" she's silent for a few seconds

I hear her sigh on the other side of the door "I brought food" I hear her footsteps when she opens the door she's wearing an oversized brown hoodie that she stole from me and black shorts that's covered by my hoodie

She looks like she's been crying "what's wrong beautiful" her lips begin to tremble but she bites down on her lips stopping her self from crying

I place the food done on the small table by her bed "come here" she walks into my arms and I pull her into a tight hug "you wanna talk about it" I ask her she doesn't say anything

I tap her thigh "up" and I carry her to the bed and we cuddle for a few minutes "I brought chocolate ice cream your favorite you should eat it before it melts she nods and I wipe her tears and she eats in silence

Once she's done I pull her in for another hug and we stay like that for about an hour she begins to drift off to sleep

HOUR LATER

When she got up we talked about what's been upsetting these pass few days

"Today marks a month since my mother's passing" she talks and I listen she is laid on my chest and I'm playing with her braids

"I'm sorry I've been acting weird I didn't mean to make you feel like you did something wrong" I shush her "Everyone griefs differently don't feel guilty for the way you grief" she nods and sniffles

"You can talk to me whenever you are going through anything I will always be here for you Nora"

"Gosh you are so sweet" she begins to cry "it's okay let it all out" I lightly rub her back kissing her forehead

She sobers up "I miss her so much I wish she was here she's the only parental figure I had the only one who cared to stick around" I let her pour her feelings out about her mother and her dead beat of a father and his wife

We talked for a few hours when the clock by her bed displays the time 1:45 am she's asleep in my arms

we woke up around three in the morning so we decided to go for an early stroll around the camp
