|Harem| Should've Said No

A/N: Thank you for the 12k reads and the 600+ votes and I became #1 on the tag norman?!?!?! WTF!! And now I'm on summer vacation :3 I can focus now on writing at long last <3 Sorry for the wait and inconsistencies, I didn't think people would care for my stories ^^"

Anyways, since this is also the 25th part of my book, I thought of editing this book (sorry for the mess) and opening up a questionnaire for you guys? If you have any questions about the stories or about me, feel free to comment here or pm :) I'll answer the questions on the next story.

Since it's kinda special, this story is a bit personal and short, but the song really fits it and I just changed one small detail. So yeah, I hope you enjoy ^^

Song: "I Say No" from Heathers

Genre: Vent, Ordinary!AU, Songfic

(Y/N): Your First Name

(Y/N)'s POV

"Are you okay?" Ray asked as he held my hand. I felt it shake against his touch as my heart pounded across my chest. I took breaths to calm my nerves as Norman and Emma sweet-talked Miss Isabella.

"Y-yeah, just a little nervous..." I answered as I looked down at the ground. Ray pulled my arm towards him and held my head against his chest.

"Relax, just focus on my heartbeat and clear your thoughts," he said and looked away with pink cheeks. I smiled at his gesture and nodded. Soon enough, I felt my heart beat normally again.

"Thanks, Ray..." I mumbled as I hugged him, unknowingly making the boy blush harder.

"Y-yeah..." he replied as he awkwardly wraps his arms around me.

"Ahem," Norman caught our attention as Emma pulled me into a hug.

"(Y/N) if you needed a hug, you could've just asked me!" Emma sulked as she nuzzled my neck, tickling me with her hair.

"Aww... sorry, Emma," I apologized and hugged her back, earning a chuckle from the girl. As she spun me around, I didn't see her stuck her tongue at the two boys.

"Come on you two, Miss Isabella already said we can use the booth," Norman said making Emma and I let go of each other.

"Okay, let's get this started," I said trying to pump myself up.

As I adjusted my headphones, Ray straightened the music sheets while Norman and Emma were adjusting the sound.

"Are you two ready?" Norman asked as Ray and I gave him a thumbs up.

"And we're recording in three..." Emma said as she lifted up her fingers giving us a count down, "...two...one!" she pointed at us as "ON AIR" lit up and music started to play. I took a deep breath and started to sing.

You are a drug.
You are a poison pill.
I've got to kick this habit now or else I never will.

The memories started to flood inside my head. The messages, the times I'd talk to them, it all came back. Where did I go wrong? Was I never enough? Was I just a substitute? Did they ever see me as more than someone who needs to make them happy?

I love the rush
Back when we were close,
but you will not be satisfied until I overdose!
