Saffran never
replied. As usual. He kept Norman on seen. Norman knew it. Saffran is angry.
Now he wont talk with him unless Normans says it was a prank. Norman doesn't
wanna lie to him. He doesn't wanna deny his feelings. So as soon as he goes to
his home he doesn't waste any time. They arrived at evening. Norman quickly
changes his clothes and heads for Saffran's home.
But little
did the boy know Saffran had a surprise for him there. When Saffran opened the
door a poker face was all he gave. But what pained Norman to the core is when
Jess came to the door in her baby blue underwear.
Norman's
pain was visible on his face. Tears were streaming from his eyes constantly.
But Saffran didn't care. He had the same cold face when he slammed the door on Norman's
face.
His heart
hurts physically. He cant describe this pain. The rain pours on him like
shower. He doesn't know where he is going. The road seems unknown. Saffran didn't
even bother to think twice before sending him in this bad weather. The rain
hides his tears but his heart seems to bleed. Just why? Is it so wrong to love
someone? He could deny him nicely. What's with that expression like he is
disgusted with him? And in addition to his misery he even brought his ex into
his house. God know what they were doing. Was the time they spent together so
worthless to him? Whenever Saffran was in pain Norman wouldn't hesitate to calm
him. He would stand by his side no matter whatever he did, whatever he said to
him. Let along the romantic feelings bit how could he cut off their friendship?
He assured him that this time he'd fix his mistakes. He wont repeat what he did
in middle school. Then why?
Norman
screams crouching down on the empty road. "LIAR! HE'S A LIAR!" He creams
looking at the sky. The pain wont subside. He's feeling suffocated.
He doesn't
hear anything. And when he someone pulls him in their chest he finally notices
his surrounding. "You wanna die or something?!" A masculine voice. Raven. He
looks up at Raven. He has an extremely worried expression. "Norm! Are you
okay!?" He panics. Norman doesn't wanna
tell anyone. "I-I'm fine." Raven's face softens. "I can see. I won't force you
to tell. But for now let me take you home." Norman nods.
Under
Raven's floral clear umbrella, Raven doesn't even let go of his hand. He is
afraid Norman will do something crazy. Norman's mom had to go to her job since
she didn't got any vacation. So nobody is at Norman's home. Raven takes him to
his house. All this time Norman didn't utter any word. Just some sniffles.
After
reaching his house Raven orders him to have a warm shower. Norman was reluctant
but he couldn't fight with Raven's persistence. So he did as he told.
Norman felt
better after the shower. Not to mention he cried for 15 minutes in the shower,
he is now feeling light though a dull ache is still there on his heart. When he
comes to the drawing room he sees Raven sitting on the sofa with a tea cup. He
Is deep in though. Norman's cough gets him to reality. "Oh you're done. Here I
made some herbal tea for you." Norman smile a little and takes the cup.
Raven doesn't
say anything. But looking at his fidgeting Norman knows that he wanna ask
something. "You can ask me." Raven looks at him nervously. "Will you go to
school tomorrow." Norman nods his head. How will he face him? He is 1000% sure that
he will just break down by the mere sight of him. He can't handle this. "I will
go when you'll go." Raven sighs. "Norm. You know I'm suspended." "You only have
one more day." Norman looks at him sceptically. "Oh yeah. I forgot. Ok then." A
silence comes after. Nobody talks about anything. Norman silently sips his tea.
Raven is dying to ask what happened to him, why he was screaming in the middle
of the road. But he chose not to. Norman
isn't in the best mood.
"Umm...I'll
go then. It's getting dark." Norman
shots him a pitiful look which makes the latter boy reluctant to go. "Please
stay for some more time." He nods immediately. He sees Norman shiver meaning
he's cold. The temperature quickly dropped outside due to rain. Without
thinking enough he blurts out, "You wanna cuddle?" Norman widens his eyes. He
hesitates a little but eventually nods his head.
"Wait. Let
me bring a blanket." Raven goes to Norman's room and runs to the sofa quickly
like a child. He covers both Norman and him after putting Norman on his lap. Then
he turns on the T.V and puts on some cheesy movie.
It feels
warm but Norman misses Saffran's touches. He used to make him sit on his lap
like this too. And it instantly makes him tear up. Knowing he won't get any of
the pretty boy's touch ever again in the future just breaks his heart again and
again. But what can he do. After all he's straight. And a straight guy will
never return a gay boy's feelings.
Cause
straight boys always break your heart.
