Second Chance

Chapter 8

E M I L Y ' S POV

It's wasn't that long after I changed into Normans clothes when he returned.

The clothes he gave me were actually comfortable compared to my school clothes I had been wearing for the past two days.

Now I was wearing a baggy hoodie and sweatpants. I hope he doesn't want them back soon because I don't really want to change back.

"You look comfortable" Norman jokes as he walks in seeing me curled up in his blankets.

"Your clothes are more comfortable than mine" I admit and hide my face into the blanket.

"Well I snuck you some girl things.. you better like them because Sean almost caught me" Norman muttered and tossed a duffle bag beside me.

"You didn't have to do this Norman" I say and sit up, pulling the bag in my lap.

"I did" he replied, sitting on the edge of the bed next to me.

I pulled out a couple pairs of pink sweats and shorts.. a couple lounge tees and some hygiene products like toothbrush, toothpaste etc.

"Thank you Norman" I say and turn to him. He was staring off into space until I waved my hand infront of him.

"Huh? What?" Norman asked looking around.

I giggle and hold the bag up. "I said thanks"

"Oh yeah.. you're welcome" Norman smiles and chews on his thumbnail.
"Can I have a hug?" I hear Norman add, but it was barely above a whisper.

"What?" I ask, not able to understand what he said.

"Can I.. have a hug?" He asks awkwardly, a blush creeping on his face.

"Of course" I smile and lean forward, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head onto his chest.

I can hear his heartbeat quicken which makes me smile. He wraps his arms around my shoulders, holding me tight to him and rests his head on top of mine.

His arms around me felt so right. It was wrong, but felt so right. I never wanted to leave them.. but I had to.

I broke away from the hug and Norman sighed. "Are you hungry?" He asked as he adverted his eyes from me.

"A little bit" I answer. I haven't ate since yesterday morning.

"I'll be back" Norman says and stands up, rushing out of the room leaving me all alone.

3 R D PERSON POV

Norman walks into the kitchen to make lunch for both him and Emily.

When he reaches the living room Sean was leaning against the counter, eating a bowl of something while staring at Norman. "What?" Norman asks opening the fridge.

"Gettin comfy with the girl?" Sean spits, glaring at Norman.

Norman pauses for a second and the continues to make sandwiches for him and Emily. "What's it matter?" Norman spits back.

"She's gonna be gone soon.. don't want ya getting attached" Sean says, placing his bowl down and crossing his arms.

Norman freezes and spins around to face Sean. "What the hell do you mean?"

"I don't want to waste supplies on her" Sean replies, walking closer to a now angered Norman.

"Then let her go!" Norman yells at him

"She'll rats us out you dipshit! You really want to go to jail?!" Sean yells, pushing Norman on the shoulders.

"I don't fucking care anymore Sean! I'm tired of this shit! I just wanna leave!" Norman scream back at him, pushing him back with the same force.

"But you cant... remember" Sean smirks and crosses his arms.

Norman glares at the man and turns back around to continue making sandwiches. "Fuck you"

"Why do you care so much about her" Sean asks

"She doesn't deserve this" Norman muttered looking at the ground. "And neither did my sister!" He yelled, louder this time, he can feel his face getting red.

Sean chuckles a deep, evil chuckle. "They have a lot in common you know" Sean grumbles and walks closer to Norman, right next to his ear before he continues. "And you can't save either of them" he whispers.

Norman turns around and pushes Sean out of the way before running back into his room. His face red from both anger and holding back his tears. He couldn't save his sister... but he will save Emily.
