Norman was such a kind gentle man. He was there for you when your in a low mood. He helps with what he can. Brings everyone happiness. He's the person everyone goes to when you need to talk. He'll stop and listen to your problems then gives the best advice he has. He's a hugger and gives the best bear hugs.

Which is why it kills Sammy to see Norman's girlfriend, Susie treat him like shit. He knew Norman gives all his hard earn cash to that spoiled bitch and not once has she said a thank you to him. Everyone knew Norman didn't make much and tried to help him on bills but Norman wouldn't ever take there money. Sammy also hears how she talks about him behind his back to her trashy friends. Calling him every name in the book. He has seen her slap him many times in the face and not once had Norman touched her. Many has seen her at the club cheating on the poor man so much. Norman was the kindest person Sammy could think of and was treated so wrong.

Today Sammy was leaving the studio for the night when he saw Norman in the dark booth. It was late and they were the only two here. Sammy heart cried out for him. He went up to his booth and saw him leaning over on his desk. "Norman? You ok there?"

Norman glances at the short man and nods. "Ya I'm good sam. Don't worry about me." He leans back in his chair and Sammy could see what was on his desk. An evection notice.

"How much time do you got?.." Sammy ask nudging tours it.

"Only 3 more days. But I'll figure it out sam. I'm the man of the house it's my job to figure these things out." Norman answers.

"How much do you need? I can give you so-"

Norman interrupts him."No Sammy. It's fine. You don't know to worry about me ok" Norman gives him a small smile.

"Alright norm.." Sammy sighs. "Just remember. If you lose your place, there's always room at my place." With that Sammy turns away and heads out.

By the next week Norman lost his house. He sold most of his things like his car, his tv, his furniture and most of his clothes. And Susie already moved to another guy's house, leaving him to rote.

He didn't tell anyone though. He didn't want to admit he was a failure. He couldn't provide for a girlfriend he had. He couldn't keep his house and he couldn't be a man.

It only took Sammy a few days to find Norman's secret room in the studio late one night. He had a pallet, some clothes and a few books. He glances at the large man. "Ok. Gather your clothes. Your coming home with me. And I'm not taking no for an answer norm." Sammy gathers Norman's blanket And folds it.

"Sammy -"

"No. I'm not letting my best friend sleep at his job." Sammy said stubbornly.

Norman knew he wouldn't win when Sammy was stubborn. He sighs and helps gathering his things then follows Sammy to his car.

Sammy house wasn't rich but it was better then what he called a house. The neighborhood was clean. His house was bigger then his by double. And his yard was nice.

Sammy unlocks his door and opens it, turning on the light. "Welcome to your new home norm." He smiles.

"Thanks sam." Norman gives him a shameful smile back.

Sammy frowns. "Hey. It's ok to struggle and ask for help. people have there crappy moments. I know I did."

"What do you mean?" Norman ask putting down his things on the kitchen table.

Sammy looks away. "At age 15 my parents found out I'm..gay. They kicked me out. Luckily I got my violin before they locked me out. I spent years on the street playing for money and getting little to Nothing. One day Joey just so happens to be passing and herd me. He watched me for a bit then gave me the job. Joey helped me. Now I wanna help you Norman."

Norman stares at Sammy then nods. "Alright. And thank you for bringing me in sam."

"No problem Norman." Sammy smiles.

Sammy shows Norman around the house then to his new room. With Susie gone and not having to pay for everything but half rent and food and things for him, Norman got to save money.

They also gotten close. Snuggling on movie nights, sleeping together and kissing. Sammy made Norman feel good about himself. He treated him better then Susie ever did.
