TW: MENTIONS OF ABUSE, HOMOPHOBIA

In this oneshot Isabella hurts ray whenever he does something wrong. She only hurts him during thunderstorms.

Norman's POV

There was thunder outside, me and Emma were taking care of the little ones. Most of the younger kids are scared of thunder.

Ray wasn't here, I suspect he's in the library reading but me and Emma need help taking care of the kids so I'm looking for him. As I walk down the halls I hear someone crying, It doesn't sound like one of the kids. I walk in the direction the noise is coming from. It sounds like it's coming from...the basement? No one ever goes in the basement, I don't know why. I make my way to the basement, wondering who would go in there.

As I reach the basement I see ray on the bed hugging his knees and sobbing. 'Ray!?' He didn't notice me come in(he was thinking that). I walk up to him, he still doesn't notice. "Ray?" He looks up, somewhat startled. When he looks at me I see bruises on his face, my face turns into a look of concern. He looks down once he sees my face, trying to hide the bruises. "Norman." He mumbled. "Who did that to You?" I ask, my voice full of worry. "No one, leave it." I sit down next to him, ray isn't one to cry. I force him to look up at me, the look in his eyes breaks my heart. "Who did that to You?" I ask again, voice a bit more stern but still gentle.

Rays POV

Mom found out I was gay, I got the worst beating for that. I was in the basement00 sobbing when I hear someone say "Ray?". It's Norman. I look up at him, forgetting about the bruises and startled. He looks concerned when he sees my face, then I remember the bruises. I look down in attempt to hide the bruises, even though he already saw. "Norman." I mumbled in response. "Who did that to you?" Now this is the topic I wanted to avoid. "No one, leave it." I reply, hoping he would let it go. Who am I kidding, this is Norman, he would never let me get out of this. He sits down next to me and forces me to look at him. He asks again "Who did that to you?" But more stern this time. I break down, he pulls me into his chest. I sob into his chest for what felt like hours.

He can't know what Isabella does to me, he can't know I'm gay, he can't know. 'He can't know' is the only thought that goes through my mind while I sob endlessly into his chest. At one point I must have said it put loud because he said "can't know What?". "Who gave me these bruises." I reply, only telling half the truth. "Ray I care about You, more than you know. I'm can't bare to see you like this, please tell me ray. I love you." He loves me!? Before I could even think I say, just above a whisper, "mom." "Mom did this to to you?" No turning back now. "Yes" he just hugs me again, this time I hug back. "I love you too."
