Searching for my Identity

Chapter 40 Bonding Part 1

My beloved readers I'm so greatful for everything you had done for me. It doesn't matter if in kind of votes or comments. I'm really thrilled and I want to thank my editor as always @amys99999 you had done such a great job again. So thanks a lot :-*

Thirty minutes later, Nathalie and Liam  were sitting in Norah's room as they were waiting for her. Nat looked in awe of many concert posters on the wall.  Adorning the room were: Bruce Springsteen, Ed Sheeran, and Bob Dylan to name a few.
 
Numerous concert tickets were tacked to her corkboard.  Nat had to smile when she was reading the names of great musicians. Apparently Norah had even gone to an Elton John  and Billy Joel concert. That was really impressive. 
 
Nathalie had to admit that she was glad that her sister liked the same music as she did. She was hopeful that could be a starting place for the girls to bond over music and maybe even over good movies.
 
Nat knew that it wasn’t normal for her age to listen too such old music, but she loved the lyrics and the topics they were singing about. They weren’t singing meaningless crap like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato. Obviously, her sister shared her opinion. 
 
In front of the window was a wooden desk situated with an Apple macbook air, some pens and a lot of paperwork, which Nathalie assumed was school related were laying in the red and blue stackers next to her laptop. 

Nat turned around and a small bang of jealousy overcame her as she saw a picture sitting on her sister's bedside table. In the photo was Norah and Sophie with a happy smile on their faces.  They were posed arm in arm in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 

Liam put his arm around Nat's shoulders. "I should have been standing next to Norah in the photo, not Sophie," she whispered in a shaky voice, closing her eyes for a moment. 

"I know, Nat.  I'm so sorry. The whole situation is crap. But believe me Em..I mean Norah is so wonderful," Liam tried to comfort his closest friend.

"I’m sure she is.  It's just that I'm so deeply sad. I can't understand how a person can feel so much hatred to take a little baby away from his family.  Who would do that?" Nat questioned and shook her head in disbelief.

"Nobody knows that Nathalie. But now you have the chance to get to know Emma, oh boy I don't know if I ever get her new name in my mind I mean it's so... "

"Stupid, horrible, repulsive, disgusting, heartbreaking? Do you need any other suggestions, Liam?” Norah cleared her throat after she entered her room with a sad smile, closing the door behind her. 

"Terrible, shocking... I don't know, but, my Angel, we're getting through this together. I promise you that you're not alone. I guess our cinema evening is canceled for today, but maybe we could have a nice movie night together. We could order Italian, Chinese or even Indian food if you want Norah. I would also watch with you Titanic or The Way We were,” Liam said generously.

"Seriously?” Norah asked and looked at him with raised eyebrows. 

"Yeah, scouts honor!” he winked at her and then Norah hugged him unexpectedly. She buried her face into his chest and felt so loved, although there were a lot of feelings and questions in her mind. But now she just felt safe in her boyfriend's arms. 

"I'm so glad that you're here, Liam,” she murmured into his chest. 

"Me too, me too hon. How about I order some Italian food from DaVinci? I guess I could order the big family pizza Hawaii? " 

"Oh yeah, that sounds good to me! And please order tiramisu," Norah said, released herself from Liam's embrace, turned to her twin sister and added, "They have the best pizza in all of Vienna, Nathalie. And you have to try it with Tzatziki mixed up with Heinz ketchup, I know it sounds gross, but when you've tried it you never want to get rid off this great mixture! " 

“It really does sound gross. But, hey, you’re talking to a Gilmore girl! Even if my family name is Huntzberger-Gilmore, in my heart I’ll be always a Gilmore girl. Therefore, there is nothing I won’t try. 
I love food,” Nathalie laughed. “And  your room is really cool, especially your posters and concert tickets! I was really stunned. I mean I’ve seen a lot of great artists too. But Elton John and Mr. Piano Man is awesome. But nobody is like..”

"Bruce?" Norah ended the sentence from her sister with a slight grin on her lips.
 
"Absolutely!  The Boss is the best! I'm so glad you're a  Bruce Springsteen fan. It's nice to talk to another fan my age. Most of them are as old as our Dad or grandpa Mitchum," Nathalie mentioned. 
 
"My grandpa and my parents are also big fans of him. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go to one of his concerts yet because I was only two years old when he was on tour in Vienna in 2012. 
My parents told me that it was one of the greatest concerts they had ever seen.  But hey at least there is Netflix and Amazon Prime. I can watch the concerts there,” Norah answered her and smiled at her sister. 
 
“Me too and what is your..“
 
Liam observed the girls. He was so happy to see Norah smiling again that he didn’t want to disturb them. But he cleared his throat, “Ladies, I’m sorry for interrupting you, but the food is coming in about 30 minutes.
How about if we go to Americandy to buy some sweets later?  I could go for some Haribo candies. God you have to try them Nat! They are almost better than Kick Gums, red vines, and your favorite Jelly Belly Jewel Mix. But only if both of you are up to it. The DZK isn’t far away from here. About ten minutes by bus.“ 
 
“Oh yeah, let’s go to DZK. They’re having awesome shops there, and if you want, we could go on a shopping tour tomorrow? I mean I..“
 
„Sure, that sounds good.  Maybe our moms could join us? I know it sounds strange for you, but you have two moms now.“
 
„Hey it’s ok I guess this is a great opportunity to get to know my biological mom better.“ Norah hesitantly nodded and could only hope that she would get along with her biological mother. After all she was one of her favorite authors. But she was still scared and there were so many thoughts and ifs in her mind.
