Chapter 33

"We have to get there right now!" Norman looked at Katherine, screaming at him. "Was that Nina?" He asked getting up and heading out to the car. "Yes it was." He unlocked the car and they got in, "what'd she say?" "She knows about Jon." Norman looked at her narrowing his eyes, he knew she wouldn't be able to keep from telling her. "Hhmm." "What?" She shouted, throwing her hands in the air. "I thought you were going to wait before you told her." Kat glared at him, "I didn't fucking tell her Norman." "Then how'd she find out the moment we were done at Jon's?" He put the car into gear and started on the way to Nina's house. "Because Jon told her!" Norman was surprised, normally Jon would wait for his opinion. "Oh." "Oh? Thats all you have to say?" He tightened his hand so it gripped the wheel hard, last thing he wanted to do was fight with her. "Nothing, just oh." She scuffed at him, "she's never going to forgive me, us." He could smell her tears before they dripped down her face. As much as he was pissed right now he couldn't help but reach over and touch her hand, giving it a little squeeze. "She's not gonna hate you, Jon yes...me probably but not you." He punched in Nina's address and decided to take the long way so Katherin could calm down a little. "I'm a bad friend, I should have told her the minute we found out." "We just found out today babe, it's not like we knew for a week and still didn't tell her." To be honest he already felt like he betrayed Kats trust, Nina's for sure. Yeah Jon was his friend and his brother but this was his fault. He should have never called her in the first place. "Blame that on me love, it was my fault. I was trying to help my friend out." He went to move his hand, she didn't seem to want his affection right now but she grabbed it and put it to her face, nuzzling her cheek
into the palm of his hand. He could feel tears on her face and it just made everything worse. "No it's not on us Norman, we did what we thought was the right thing and we had every intention to tell her but he beat us to it." Norman gave a little sigh, happy that she wasn't angry with him. "I know this is his fault Kat, I'm not going to say it's not. But it's not as bad as Nina thinks it is." Kat met his eyes for a moment and nodded, knowing it could have been a whole lot worse. "She sounded like she was dying Norman, I've never heard her so hurt before." He stepped on the gas a little trying to pick up the pace. "I'm happy we didn't have to tell her, it's better that he did. Doesn't excuse anything but it's his responsibility to do it." The sky was already starting to get dark, theyd been at Jon's a lot long than he thought and Mingus was still at home. He pulled out his phone and called him, it rang and rang going to voicemail, "hey bud it's me, sorry it's taking awhile. Gotta stop by Nina's house real quick and I'll be home soon. And bud...please be safe. Love you." He clicked the phone closed and knew Mingus would be safe no matter what. "Have you tried to call her back?" "I think her phone is off or she broke it, but she's not answering." He had to ask, "you want me to call him, see if we can understand exactly what happened before we get there?" "I'm not sure hearing his side of things will make me less angry at him right now." He nodded and put away his phone, "okay, but I need to check on him later, he's still my brother Kat." She glanced side ways at him, "okay." She'd moved his hand away from her face but laced her fingers through his and set it on her lap, no matter what happened with Nina and Jon, it couldn't affect him and Kat. It wouldn't be fair. He pulled into Nina's driveway and the house was dark. No lights on at all and her car wasn't in the driveway. "You sure she's home?" He parked the car and looked up at the dark, empty house. "I think so, maybe Jon drove?" Kat opened the door and Norman got out to meet her, holding out his hand for her, even if she didn't take it. Her cold hand cupped his, his thumb stroking over hers. "I love you Kat." He looked down at their hands, "I know Norman, I love you too." He saw her lean in and he lifted his head, her lips a gentle brush across his, the sweet touch came and went so quickly. "Lets go see." Kat said and knocked on the door, it swung open since it wasn't latched. Norman pushed Katherin behind him, their hands still linked. "Nina?" He said into the dark space, nothing moved. He could feel her shaking behind him, "easy babe, let's not over react okay?" "Sure." Norman pushed the door open all the way until it banged against the wall, "Nina, it's Norman and Katherin, you hear honey?" He asked again stepping into her house. He tried the lights but they didn't work, "get your phone out and use the light." Kat quickly took it out and they had some light as he inched further into the house. "This doesn't feel right Norman." "Yeah you're telling me." He suddenly felt something slippery on the floor seconds before he slipped, Kat catching him before he busted his ass. "Whoa, good catch, the fuck was that?" He asked standing and sh pointed her phone to the ground, there was a dark puddle of blood, a few drops leading away from it. "Oh god!" Kat gasped and Norman looked at the wall where he assumed Nina's fists collided with the wall over and over again. "Dammit." He cursed more to himself than to her. "Nina, baby where are you!" Kat screamed next to his ear. "Where's her room?" "Up the stairs, all the way in the back, should I call the cops?" He shook his head, "no I don't think anyone but Nina is here." He kept scanning the house as they ascended the stairs slowly, a few blood smears on the side of the white walls concerned him, Jon would never hurt her, but that didn't mean she wouldn't hurt herself. "I'm scared Norman." He squeezed her hand, "maybe you should wait outside?" It was just a suggestion, "no I don't wanna be alone." He nodded and reached for her door, it was locked and the door knob was slick with blood. "Nina!" He banged on the door, "bathroom?" "In her room." He cussed and let go of her hand, "gotta knock it down, stand clear okay?" She moved further way from it as he used his shoulder to hit the door until it splintered open. "Nina!" The room was dark but a light under the closed door, had to be the bathroom. Norman walked slowly and grabbed the door knob and pulled it open, "Nina!!!!"
