───── NORMAN ──────

My heart ached for Emma. I stared at the ground, unsure of what to do. Her words were like daggers, piercing my heart in millions of pieces. I do care. I just don't know what to do. All my life, everything had made sense.  x + y = z. Yellow mixed with blue makes green. Everything. But now, it feels as if everything and everyone I loved and cared about... they left me. I love you, Emma. But... I just don't know what to do. 

      Ray looked flustered, almost as if he didn't realise Emma had a spark burning in her chest. I took a risk and tried to talk to him. I brushed my arm on his shoulder and whispered to his ear, my voice floating around in the air, "It's not your fault."

      Silence consumed the room as the words hung in the air, you could almost cut the tension with a knife. Instead of wanting to see his teary eyes staring directly at me, he shoved me aside, not meeting my eyes. "What did you say...!? How is it NOT MY FAULT!? You don't know ANYTHING, NORMAN! SHUT UP!!" I could hear the frustration and annoyance in his voice. He loves Emma, just like me. And I know how it hurts... to have someone you love not believe in you anymore. Instead of trying to comfort him, I just walked away, leaving him in his cloud of frustration. 

      I wish I could help him. But- but I don't think it's possible anymore.

───── RAY ──────

HOW DARE HE THINK HE COULD UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION! My blood boiled with anger as he walked off. I loved Emma. I really did. And now she hates me. I'm a traitor. Norman thinks he knows everything. He thinks he can comfort me. But... I don't think anyone can. Norman walked off, silence radiating in the air once more. I collapsed to the ground. My head throbbing with frustration. I groaned and kicked the nearest shelf, books tumbling to the ground. 

      "I'm sorry, Emma," My voice echoed in the empty hallways. 

      I was alone. 

      Just like I'd always be.

OMFGGG- IM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN LIKE 4 WEEKS!! ARGHH- IVE BEEN IN A HIATUS FOR A WHILE NOW :( I've been trying to focus on school, but honestly- idk. anyways, i updated for your sake and i actually really love this fanfic :D its so sad and heartfelt and amazing, and i love the concept. the anime is still way better, so if ya'll haven't watched it then watch S1 of The Promised Neverland, not S2, cuz apparently it sucks, but i haven't watched it so idk. 

anyways, i hope you liked this chapter, it sorta only took like 10mins to write, i think the Author Notes take longer than the actual piece of writing. XD I feel so bad for Ray, he's just misunderstood but then again, Norman was just trying to help and yet he got pushed away, even further from Ray. anyways, lets hope the next update doesn't take so long! hehe :D cya! - emma <3
