-Norman's online-
Norman: Hey
Norman: You online?
-Ray's online-
Ray: I am now
Ray: What do u want
Norman: Just checking on you; I haven't seen you at school for a few days.
Ray: Im fine
Norman: Promise?
Norman: Everyone's really worried about you.
Ray: I don't care
Ray: I rly don't rn
Norman: What's going on?
Norman: You can talk to me, I'm here to listen.
Ray: Thanks, but I'm fine
Ray: Just leave me be
Norman: No can do Ray.
Norman: I'm not leaving you when I know something's up.
Norman: You haven't messaged any of us this whole week- and that's not like you.
Norman: So what's really going on Ray?
Ray: I don't gotta say shit.
Norman: True, but you're not going to feel any better keeping it to yourself.
Ray: ...
Ray: Wtf do u have to be right?
Norman: Earth deems it so
Ray: Pfft-
Ray: Biggest nerd ever
Norman: Aw thank you <3
Norman: But stop changing the topic
Ray: Damn, u got me
Norman: What's going on in that emo head of yours?
Ray: Uh, nothing and everything
Norman: What do you mean?
Ray: ...
Ray: Do... You ever feel like, no matter how hard u try, no matter what u do, everything you do is pointless and a waste of time?
Ray: Like u know deep down you'll amount to nothing in the end. Ur a waste of time and space so what's the point.
Norman: Where is this coming from?
Ray: Does it rly matter?
Norman: Talk to me Raven
Ray: ...
Ray: I'm tired- I'm rly rly tired.
Ray: I have so much work to do with A-Levels coming up, taking care of family drama
Ray: But I don't have the energy to care anymore
Ray: I mean, if we're being realistic my life won't amount to much in this world in the grand scheme of things
Ray: The only reason I'm still going is 'cause I'd never wanna leave my fur babies
Ray: And u guys, u guys mean a lot to me, Id never want to upset u.
Norman: Raven, how long have you felt like this?
Ray: A long time.
Ray: If u want specifics, roughly around before the escape from Gracefield
Norman: Why did you never say anything??
Ray: Considering the fact me and Emma were in charge of a group of frightened and confused children wandering the mist of a demon wonderland
Ray: I didn't consider it my number one priority to talk about my feelings.
Norman: I get that, but you should have known that although I wasn't around at that time, Emma would have been more than happy to listen to you.
Ray: I know, but I couldn't do that to her.
Ray: I mean what would I have said? 'Yo, I know that you just saved my ass from a fire, but like I kinda wanna jump back into it rn. Peace.'
Ray: Just the thought of seeing her so heartbroken made me sick to my stomach.
Ray: She'd just lost you, she wouldn't have coped if I tried talking to her about it.
Norman: You and that logical brain of yours- you realize that sometimes you don't have to calculate everything? Sometimes it's best to go against any reasoning your mind comes up with, especially when it comes to this.
Ray: Who's the logical one again?
Norman: Still you
Ray: Ik ur right, u always are
Norman: I know
Norman: Does anyone else know about this?
Ray: Don knows, and my Mum knows too unfortunately
Norman: How did Don figure something like that out??
Ray: He walked in on me having a panic attack
Norman: Are you okay???
Ray: Dw it was awhile back
Ray: I told Isabella not long after
Norman: And how did she take it?
Ray: Lol, as well as she could've I think
Ray: Though she did threaten to send me to a mental hospital if I continued "talking like that"
Norman: Seriously?!
Ray: Ya
Ray: The memory makes me laugh every time 😂
Norman: That's not something to laugh about
Ray: Meh, better than crying about it 🤷
Norman: ...
Norman: Touché
Norman: Say, where are you right now?
Ray: Home duh
Norman: Lol, sassy Ray's back
Norman: I missed him :')
Ray: Better have
Ray: Anyways wdy ask?
Norman: Oh, me and Emma are coming over
Ray: Yes, of course you and Emma can come over 🙄
Norman: I have cookies and energy drinks.
Ray: Yes, of course you and Emma can come over! 😁
Ray: But I gotta ask, why?
Norman: You seriously thought I wouldn't come check up on you after what you've just told me?
Ray: U don't have to tho
Ray: It's not that big of a deal
Norman: Yes it is, stop downsizing the situation
Ray: Fine
Ray: Did you tell Emma?
Norman: No, it's your decision when and if you tell her
Norman: I just bribed her with junk food, and she was happy to tag along
Ray: At least ur honest about it
Norman: Honesty is the best policy.
Norman: Anyway, we'll be over shortly, Emma insisted on grabbing her giraffe onesie from her house before we come over
Ray: Lord help us
Norman: Indeed
Norman: I'll see you later Raven
