Norman's POV
I woke up by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Seth above me. "Are you ok?" Seth asked worriedly. I nodded. "Oh ok. Usually you don't wake up this late" he said. I looked at him confused and asked "what time is it?" "11:45" he said. Shit. "I need to go home" I said. Seth nodded and we got up.
We were gonna go get Trinity to bring me home but she was still asleep. "Seth are you up?" We heard his mom ask. We walked downstairs and she smiled at me. "I didn't know you were here Norman. Well can you guys help me with breakfast?" She asked. "Of course. Norman loves cooking" Seth said. I just smiled and walked to his mom. I do like cooking so I didn't mind.
After we made breakfast everyone was awake. But Seth's dad was at work so he wasn't here. Of course since they're catholic I had to say grace with them. I didn't really want to but I do because they're like my family. I mean we literally spend Christmas Day with them.
After we ate I got my bag and put it in Trinity's car. She was also bringing Chris home so yea. As we were dropping Chris off he looked back at me. "It was nice meeting you Norman. Your pretty cool" he said. He extended his hand and I shook it. "Same here" I said. He then walked into his house and we took off to mine.
We got to my house and I told them goodbye. I walked in and noticed my grandparents decorated the inside of the house a little more. Though they had a lot of fruit. That's weird. But I love fruit so I don't care.
I saw my grandma in the living room so I went sit on the couch by her. "Why is there soo much fruit?" I asked. "Oh I thought you liked apples" she said. I could tell she was nervous. "I do but why soo many?" I asked. "Well I just thought I would buy a lot of them" she said. I leaned over and said "why do you and grandpa always lie to me? I can tell when you're lying" "Norman it doesn't matter. We're keeping you safe now leave your grandmother alone" my grandpa said from behind me.
I just sighed and got up. "No I want to know why you guys do this every year" I said. My grandpa angrily said "we just can't tell you" "why can't you tell me the truth?!?!" I screamed. "Norman if we tell you the truth you will be in danger. There are things out there that could kill you if you knew about it. So just shut up and go to your room" he said.
I just walked away from them. I fucking hate when they do this. I don't know why I can't know about what's happening. I don't care if I'm in danger. I can't fucking deal with this. I wish they weren't like this. I wish they would tell me about my parents or whatever they're protecting me from.
After a while of me blowing off some steam I decided to get something to eat. Being mad makes me hungry. I walked downstairs and noticed the fireplace. Since when do went light a fire in the fireplace? I just brushed it off and walked to the kitchen.
As I was getting some food my grandpa came in. "Do you need me to fix you something to eat?" He asked. I ignored him. I was still mad about what happened. "Norman!" He said boldly. I still ignored him. I finished fixing my food and walked off up to my room.
I put my spaghetti on my bed and grabbed one of my sweaters. I was a little cold and my short sleeve shirt didn't help warm me up. Dude I need the fucking heater in here. I'm soo fucking cold.
I ate my spaghetti and I was still really cold. Like I was really fucking cold. I walked back downstairs to put my plate up. Now to go find the heater. I walked to the closet we have under the stairs. It should be in there. I opened up to closet and it was all the way at the back. "Ah fuck me" I mumbled.
That's when it happened. "Norman!" My grandpa yelled at me. "What?" I yelled back. "I know I did not just here you swear" he screamed. On my fucking god. "Yea I did. If you didn't put the fucking heater all the way at the back of the fucking closet!!!" I screamed. He walked over to me and said "I am sick of you talking to us like that" "I'm sick of you guys hiding everything from me for my 'safety'. You know what. I'm leaving" I said.
I started walking to the door but of course. "Norman you can't go out there alone" my grandma said. I ignored her. My grandpa then screamed "Norman listen to your grandmother!" "NO!!!" I screamed back and walked outside.
Time skip~
After the whole fight with my grandparents I decided to go to Seth's house. Luckily his dad was just getting home. "Norman? What are you doing out? You're gonna get sick" he said. I mean yes it's cold but I don't give a shit. He ran over to me. He checked to see if I was ok. "Come inside. I thought your grandparents didn't let you go anywhere alone" he said. "They don't. We got into a fight so I left" I said. He nodded and opened the door.
"Seth come downstairs now. Norman is here" his dad screamed. I then saw Seth running down. "Hey Norman" he said. "Hi" I said back. "Well I assume dinner won't be done until about 5:30 so you boys go upstairs" his dad said. Seth nodded and signaled me to follow him.
We got to his room and he sat on his bed. "So what happened?" He asked. "Well me and my grandparents got into a fight so I came here. If I'm gonna be a burden to you and your family I can leave" I said. "Oh no that's fine. You're my best friend and I don't care if you're over. Also my family loves you so they won't care" he said. I just nodded and sat down.
Once Seth's mom called us for dinner we went downstairs and ate. Of course I wasn't that hungry because I had just ate at my house. But I just ate a little bit. Of course I had to say grace again. But again since they're like my family I do it. Even though I'm not much of a jesus believer. I mean I am but not really.
After we ate we went to Seth's room. I was really tired. "Norman did you bring any clothes?" Seth asked. I shook my head. "Ok well I'll give you some of my clothes and you can go shower if you want" he said. I nodded and he handed me some of his clothes. It was a Nirvana shirt and some black sleeping pants.
After he gave me the clothes I went to shower. I turned the water on and waited a bit for it to get hot. Because I literally take hot showers. Like no cold water at all. It feels like the flaming pits of hell. As it was heating up I started taking my clothes off. Once it got hot I got in.
Once I got out I went straight to Seth's room. I just laid on his bed. "Are you really that tired?" Seth asked. I just nodded. He smiled and got in bed with me. "Goodnight" he said. "Goodnight" I said. I turned around and went to sleep. Like straight to sleep. First time that happened.
