Norman's POV
After what happened with my grandpa I'm scared. There's something wrong with me and I hate it. It's currently 2:47 in the morning and I can't sleep. What if I am possessed? I don't want to hurt someone I love. Fuck.
I sat in my bed for a bit. To be honest I wasn't tired. I stood up and walked around my room. I don't know I just did it. I mean I'm cold and stressed. That's bad. For me. I'm gonna go by the fire.
I walked downstairs and noticed the fire in the fireplace was going out. I just put some more wood in and it started up again. I sat by the fireplace and looked at the fire. You know I always thought fire was a beautiful thing. Yea I know it sounds stupid but it was the ability to give people light but it can also be destructive. That's nice.
After a while I thought about it. Why was I able to touch fire? Am I magic? Or am I actually possessed? I looked at the fire and watched as it crackled and popped. I reached my hand in the fire and grabbed a piece of wood. Why can't I feel anything. I watched as the fire burned my hand. But I didn't feel the pain. I felt my eyes tear up. I threw the piece of wood back in and started crying.
I finally calmed down after about 10 minutes. What if I'm a bad person? What if I happen to hurt Seth? I couldn't live with myself if that happened. I would never do that though. I brushed off the thought of me hurting Seth. I would never do that. He's my best friend.
I walked to the couch and grabbed a blanket. I wrapped it around my self. I sat by the fire again. I felt warm. But why didn't my hands feel hot when I touched the fire? I guess I'm just special. I looked at the fire. I loved the look and sound of fire. I never knew why thought. I guess my brain just sees a lot of beauty in different things.
Time skip~
I was still in the living room. I had a water bottle and I was eating an apple because why not. I mean. I like apples. "Norman what are you doing up this early?" I heard my grandma ask. I just shrugged. I'm not telling her the real reason. I just continued to eat the apple that I cut for myself.
After a while I finally took the time to think. Not about my powers. About the fact it's 3 days until Christmas. Nice. Yea I don't really believe in all that St. Nicholas crap but I don't care. Why am I talking about this? Eh it doesn't matter.
I was still by the fireplace when I felt my phone vibrate. It was Seth. He had texted me about going to his house tomorrow to watch some movies with his family and stuff. I texted him that I probably had nothing to do tomorrow so I would probably go. I still don't know why I'm on the ground.
After a while of sitting on the ground by the fireplace my grandma came into the living room. "Norman get off of the ground please. Your cousins are about to be at the airport and we have to pick them up" she said. "Why do I have to go? If I go there will be no room in the car" I said. "Well we're gonna take the van so we'll have a little bit of room. So get ready" she said. I sighed and got up to change.
Once I was done changing we went to pick up my cousins. Mind that me and my grandma are picking up my 3 of my older cousins and 3 of my younger cousins. Well those are the ones that we're picking up. My grandpa is picking up the other 5. I am so not ready for them to come over. I hate them. They always bother me. And they don't care about my personal space. I don't think they even heard of personal space.
We got to the airport and my cousins weren't even there yet. Great. I sighed and looked out the window. This was going to be soo boring but at least I'm gonna be at Seth's house tomorrow. So yea.
Finally my cousins got to the airport. They all got in and made sure the others got in my grandpas truck and we went back home. Which was an hour drive. I just put in my earbuds and listened to some music. Like hell I was gonna talk to them. I felt my leg start to bounce. Of course. My anxiety kicks in. "Norman please control your leg" my grandma said. I ignored her. I can't just stop that. I just looked out the window. This is gonna be terrible.
We finally got home and I ran up to my room at the speed of light. Why can't I manage to do that all the time? I don't care. I locked my door and sat on my bed. Shit I forgot to get water and my fruit. I'm gonna have to run downstairs the fastest I ever have to get them.
I got up and unlocked my door slowly. I saw that all my cousins were downstairs. Great. I got in a running position and ran downstairs. I grabbed a bunch of water out of the fridge and I was about to grab some fruit but my cousin was by them. "What are you doing Norman?" He asked. I just grabbed a bunch of apples after making sure they were good and ran back up to my room.
Once I was in my in my room I locked my door and got in bed. Great. Look at me. I'm such a good person no I'm not because I'm a piece of shit. I want one of these apples. I got up and walked over to my wall. My knife was still in my wall from when I threw it at my grandpa.
After I got my knife I wiped it on my pant leg because I don't want to eat the walls. I cut my apple into slices because that's how I eat them and if you don't like it grow up. I cut my apple and started eating. I laid on my bed and texted Seth for a bit. I mean I'm bored what else do I do. I refuse to see my cousins.
It's now about 8:30 and Seth was going to sleep so I just turned on my tv. That's when someone knocked on the door. "What?" I asked. "Can I come in?" One of my cousins asked. I dramatically sighed and unlocked my door. It was one of my older cousins. He was a dick. He sat on my bed and smiled. "Get the fuck off my bed" I said. He just smiled and started talking to me. Fuck this bitch.
As he kept talking to me I wasn't really listening. "So is it true that you're possessed? I heard that you have to stay in your room because of it" he said. I glared at him. "Shut the fuck up. I'm staying away from you guys because I hate you guys. Now get the fuck out before I show you that I am possessed and rip you to fucking shreds!!!" I screamed. He looked terrified when I said that and ran out.
After a bit my grandma texted me. She said that I had to go downstairs with my cousins. I sighed and went downstairs. I sat by the fireplace. But the fire was about to go out. I swear my cousins know how to light the fire but they're just too fucking lazy. I put some wood in the fire and when I went to sit back everyone was staring at me.
I got aggravated and looked at the tv. They were watching A Christmas Story. One of my younger cousins came sit by me. And it happen to be the one I didn't like. She was a complete bitch. "Are you possessed?" She asked.
Oh this bitch.
"Yea. Watch" I said. I leaned forward and grabbed a piece of the burning wood. I stood up and looked at everyone. They were all scared. "Since all of you guys are soo fucking worried if I'm fucking possessed. I guess I am because look. I can touch fucking fire. Now if one of you bother me again I will fucking kill you!!!" I screamed.
After my freak out I went to my room. I really didn't want to deal with them. I turned on a movie and got in bed. I soon fell asleep.

I watched as Norman freaked out. He's special. I can tell. It's good he can't feel the pain of the fire. He will be a great help to us.
