A/N: Amber as Madelaine Petsch above. Have you guys seen Riverdale? Don't judge me, but I haven't seen it, nor do I plan on seeing it. I know everyone talks about it and say they love it, but I have seen the trailer and I'm not interested in it. Sorry if I offended the Riverdale fans, but we all have opinions! :D
CHAPTER FORTY | ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING?
Tyler did a double take, narrowing his eyes. He looked back at the other three guys, as they all looked equally as confused. "Why would we fight you? You're a girl."
"So? I'm the one saying it, so just fight me," I said.
"You're joking, right? You can't be serious--,"
I cut him off with a punch. He groaned, clutching his nose, I threw my backpack on the ground and grabbed his collar and pulled him close. I stared him dead in the eyes, as he widens them.
"I'm dead serious," I whisper. I kneed him in the stomach, before pushing him away and him falling onto the ground. I smirked at the other three, who had dropped jaws.
One of them suddenly came at me, but I quickly grabbed their arm and twisted it behind their back. The dude groaned as I pushed his legs so he bent them and fell to the ground. I felt someone behind me, so I ducked, letting the guy miss me. I turned and did a roundhouse kick, which I didn't even know I could do!
He fell, groaning loudly. The last guy was clenching his fists, as he stomped over. I tried throwing a punch, but he got a grip on my arm. I did the other arm and he did the same thing, so I kneed him in his baby makers. His grip loosened, so I yanked my arms back and kicked him square in the stomach. All of them were on the ground, a groaning mess. Emmet and Elijah were stunned, but quickly grabbed my arm and backpack and pulling me along.
"Dude, catch her!" Somebody screamed from behind. I felt a grip on my arm, yanking me back. It was Tyler, who looked livid. I bit his arm, as Emmet punched him in the face. He stumbled back, falling back to the ground. We all ran away from the guys, as we got close to our house.
I looked back and no one was there. I sighed, as we all started walking. It was awkward, like really silent. We finally reached home, and as I opened the door, West was there pacing around the living room. He snapped his head at us, running over and pulling us in a hug.
"Where were you guys?! I was worried sick!" He exclaimed. As he let go, his eyes go wide as he looked at Emmet and Elijah. He pulled them into the kitchen as he ran to the bathroom and cleaned all their cuts.
"Dude, you're our brother, not father," Elijah groaned. I laughed quietly, as West glared at me.
"And where were you? You were supposed to be back at 9," he said, looking at the clock, "it's 10!"
"Emmet was supposed to pick me up, but..." I trailed off, smirking at them.
Elijah sighed, "Fine, we got beaten up by Tyler, Cameron and the twins."
West rolled his eyes and groaned, "Of course it was them."
"But, you should be proud of her," Emmet said, smiling at me, "show him the video, Elijah."
"You recorded it?!" I exclaim, throwing my arms up in exasperation. They ignored me as West looked at the video.
"What? Norah, where did you learn all this from?!" West says, looking at me with disbelief. I just shrugged sheepishly.
"I don't really know. I just... fought them, I guess," I said. Okay, I'm obviously lying. I used to fight when Alex died, and when I started getting older, I decided to let all my anger out on fighting. So, once my dad took me to the gym and I gave it my best. After a little while, when all my moves were skilled, I took a break.
"This is amazing!" West cooed. He called down the rest of the boys, and I couldn't help but laugh at how proud he was.
"What? Dude, I was just about to win on Fortnite," Avery whined.
"That games lame," I muttered.
"Check this out. Our baby sister--," West stopped midway and looked at us with wide eyes before coughing, "I-I mean our baby stepsister beat the crap out of these guys."
He showed them the phone as all three of them watched intently. As the video was about to end, I slowly walked to the stairs backward and ran up them. I wasn't upset about the video, but I was a little upset when West didn't call me his sister at home.
I sighed, flopping down onto the bed and picking up the little picture of Alex. I turned, so I was facing the ceiling and my back was to the bed. I miss him so much, I just wonder if he can just... come back. Even though I know he won't, I at least want him to. A girl can dream, right?
Sure, I do have six awesome brothers, but they're also my stepbrothers. Alex was my actual brother, that I loved oh so much. We did so many things together, we played video games, football, talked about random stuff. He was the one who made me... me.
My eyes started drooping, and I put the picture on the bedside table. I pulled my blanket over my body. As I was falling into deep sleep, I heard the sound of a door opening, and some shuffling.
My bed dipped to one side, and I heard a soft whisper, "I meant baby sister. I love you."
As the door shut, I smiled.
Two down.

I woke myself up by accidentally falling onto the floor.
Groaning, I got up and checked my phone. It was seven, meaning I have about an hour and a half to get ready, which is plenty. I get up, go to the bathroom, and grab a random shirt and jeans from my closet. I walk downstairs and go into the kitchen.
But, I regret that since... Vanessa was in it. She already saw me, "Good morning Norah."
I looked down and sat in a chair, "Morning."
She sighed and turned so she faced me, "I have something to say."
"Let me guess, you want to say sorry," I snapped.
"Norah, look, I know sorry wouldn't do anything, but I really am sorry. It just... came out! I was just really upset Emmet will be leaving, I'm scared something bad will happen to him. I really do consider you as a daughter, I love you, Norah, please forgive me," she said, barely above a whisper.
I was speechless since I didn't know what I should do, "I- I'll think about it."
I didn't spare a glance at her and just got up and ran up to my room. I guess she is being sincere about it, but when you say something to someone that you regret, you can't really do anything about it except for forgetting. You the saying where they say "words hurt more than actions." It's true since words can never leave your head, actions you kind of just forget about. Does that make sense? Maybe I should forgive her, I don't want to whine about it.
When everyone was awake, I head downstairs and slip on my shoes. The guys already walked out of the house and were in the car. I ran outside and got into it.
As we left, I checked my phone and quickly sent a text to West:
I love you too. ;)
♛
A/N: Ooh, West loves Norah! What do you think of this chapter? Any ideas?
Let's talk about the fighting! Now you know Norah used to fight. I decided to look at your guy's comments, saying that Norah used to fight but she doesn't tell her brothers. Do you think Norah is good at it? I'll make more chapters on Norah fighting if you did enjoy this chapter!
So, now West says he loves Norah. Did you think it was cute? Who do you think is going to say 'I love you' next? That's basically the whole story honestly, we get all the brothers to say I love you to Norah, then bam, the story ENDED.
Last but not least, Vanessa. I want your guy's opinion, do you want Norah to stop being so annoying about it and forgive Vanessa? Or should she just ignore her for the rest of her life?
Sorry if this chapter was short, I thought it was a good idea to end it there ◉_◉
Thank you for reading, love you all! ♡
