"Cynthia, I don't know what to do," I said into the phone as I continued to pace around my bedroom. I heard her let out a chuckle. "Bitch, don't laugh, you're supposed to be helping me," I said as I glanced at myself in the mirror for what felt like the hundredth time.

"What are you even talking about?" she asked me as I pulled my sleeves down slightly. "Norman," I said softly. I heard her gasp slightly. "What's going on?" she asked me. I placed her on speaker phone and placed my phone on my dresser beside me so I could have both hands free.

I turned from side to side looking in the mirror making sure that I looked alright. "He's taking me out tonight," I said. I heard something clatter then Cynthia was back on the phone. "WHAT?! WHY ARE YOU JUST NOW TELLING ME THIS?!" she screamed into the phone.

I chuckled slightly as I decided on something else to wear. "I'm sorry it was spurt of the moment. We were on set and he was making jokes about how skinny I was and said that he couldn't have me blowing away when he took me out," I said. Cynthia squealed slightly.

"I'm so excited for you! You're finally gonna get away from Ass...I mean Matt," Cynthia said. I felt my attitude turn slightly when Cynthia mentioned his name. I let out a soft sigh. "Sorry, girl," Cynthia said softly. I knew she had heard me sigh when she said that.

"It's alright. I just don't know what I'm going to do about him," I said as I picked out another shirt. I stripped of the one I had on before and pulled on the old black band t-shirt. Back to my normal style. I didn't really feel comfortable in anything else.

"What are you wearing?" she asked me. I picked up my phone and sent her a picture. My hair or makeup wasn't done yet but she would get a slight idea of what I was going to look like. "Oh, girl, you look smokin'," Cynthia said after a couple minutes of silence.

I felt myself blushing slightly as I carried my phone into the bathroom so I could continue getting ready. "You should tie the right side into a knot. The shirt is getting a little big on you. Hey....wait a minute," I felt my eyebrows come together in confusion.

"What?" I asked her as I pulled out some of my makeup and turned on my flat iron. I heard her tapping on her phone then my phone started beeping. I looked down to see that it was Flanery beeping in. "Cynthia, let me call you back, Flanery's beeping in."

Cynthia let out a grumble but I took that as she was okay with it before I clicked over. "Seany Sean," I said when it clicked over to his name. "Are you eating?" was the first thing I heard from the other end. "Hi Vi, how are you? I'm doing good Sean, thanks for asking," I said sarcastically.

He let out a small chuckle. "I know, I know. How have you been, sis?" he asked me. I bit my lip. He would know if I was lying to him or not. "I've seen better days," I said as I continued to get ready. "You should be having a good day," Flanery said. I could hear the slight excitement in his voice.

I felt my eyebrows pull together again. "Why do you say that?" I asked him curiously. "Because you're going out with Reedenstein!" Flanery said bursting with excitement. "How did you know about that?" I asked while starting to straighten my hair.

"Well, would you like to know how Cynthia texted me with a picture of you asking me if you looked skinnier or would you like to know how Normy and I have been on the phone for the past hour and a half because he's over there shaking in his brown mismatched lace work boots nervous to take you out," Flanery said with a chuckle.

"Are you serious?" I asked him. I couldn't even imagine Norman being nervous. Flanery let out a bark of laughter. "He's pacing, probably burning a hole in the floor," Flanery said through fits of laughter. So he was just as nervous as me if not more.

I felt a small smile forming on my face. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as what I thought it was going to be. "Now back to what I was asking earlier....have you been eating?!" Flanery asked. I could hear the slight panic in his voice. I cocked an eyebrow even though he couldn't see me.

"Yes, father, I have been. Why do you keep asking me that?" I asked him in return. Flanery let out a small sigh. Cynthia sent me the picture of you that you sent her not even a half hour ago. You wore that shirt the day I came over to her house before you left for Canada. It looks bigger on you," he said. I could hear the concern in his voice.

"I've been eating as much as I regularly eat," I said softly. It wasn't the whole truth and I knew that he would catch me. "Violet," Flanery said. I could hear the tone change in his voice. "Why haven't you been eating? Also I heard your sleep schedule is out of whack. What's been going on with you?" he asked me still concerned.

I let out a small sigh and leaned against the bathroom counter. I tapped my fingers against the counter. "I've just been busy with the movie and with writing that I've been staying up late and waking up really early to go back to set," I said. Flanery let out an aggravated sigh.

"Vi, that's not good. You know how it is when you don't sleep or eat. You get depressed and then here comes me, Cynthia, and Clark trying to pick you back up," he said. I pushed myself off the counter and walked into my bedroom again. I looked at myself in the full length mirror before grabbing my leather jacket and walking into the living room.

"I know Sean, I know. Trust me, even Norman is starting to notice. He forced me to eat a whole plate of food yesterday on set," I said. Flanery let out a small chuckle. "Yeah, I know. He told me that you've been hiding out in your trailer," he said.

I shook my head. "No, I haven't been hiding out. I've just been hit with a lot of inspiration lately and I've had to get it out before I would forget it. So that's why I've been in my trailer a lot lately. I just don't want to forget what's running through my head so I want to get it out the first chance I get," I said.

Flanery let out another sigh. "Vi, he likes you. He really likes you. But he feels like you're trying to avoid him and you really don't want to be doing this movie with him," Flanery said. I felt a sadness come over me when he said that. I didn't want Norman to feel like that.

"I....I didn't know that he felt that way. I feel bad now," I said. Flanery chuckled again. "Don't feel bad, just show him a good time tonight," he said. I rolled my eyes thinking about what Cynthia would say if she had heard Flanery say that to me.

"Oh I'll show him a good time," I said with an evil chuckle running through my words. "That's not what I meant," Flanery said quickly causing me to let out a bark of laughter. "I know, I'm just fucking with you. Don't worry, dad. I'll make sure he treats me nicely and has me home by 11," I said.

"10," Flanery said jokingly. I rolled my eyes. "10:59," I said. Flanery let out another chuckle. "Fine deal," he said. "I'll talk to you later. Love you," I said. "Love you too, sis," he said before hanging up. I shook my head while tucking my phone into my back pocket.

There was a knock on my door. I knew it was Norman. I quickly threw on my leather jacket and grabbed my shoes before answering the door. It was like slow motion when I opened the door. Norman's back was to me but looking at him from behind he was still good looking.

He slowly turned around and I felt a small smile form on my face. He was wearing a simple pair of jeans with a tight long sleeved black shirt with his typical brown mismatched lace work boots. "Woah," Norman breathed as I opened the door a little wider to let him in.

I quickly slid on my shoes and tucked my hands into my pockets. "What?" I asked him. Norman shook his head. "You just look nice," Norman said softly. I felt myself blushing slightly. "Well thank you. You don't look bad yourself," I said. Norman gave me a small smile.

"Are we ready to go?" I asked him hesitantly. I didn't know how I felt about going out with him. "Nervous?" he asked me with just the same hesitance in his voice. I swallowed hard but nodded slightly. "Just a bit," I said as we stepped outside together.

I shut my door behind us and went to slide the key into my lock. I couldn't help but notice that my hand was shaking slightly. I quickly shoved the key into the lock and locked the door before turning around and facing Norman. His hand came into my line of vision. "Then let's go be nervous together," he said before lacing his fingers with mine and pulling me down the stairs.
