*3 Months Later*

Norman and I were growing closer and closer as the months grew on. We spent every waking moment together whether we were on set, sitting at home and watching movies or going out and doing something. We were loving every minute of being with each other.

It was now the end of the movie and we were calling it a wrap as of tonight. My bags were already packed as I knew I would be jumping on a plane tomorrow to head back home. Home, that felt so weird to say. I didn't even know if I was really going home.

I mean sure Norman and I said we liked each other and sure we shared kisses here and there but my home was in LA. I didn't know how this long distance thing was going to work or if it was even going to work. I sighed as I collapsed on the couch in my trailer.

It was the end of the day and we were taking a 15 minute break before heading back out and filming the last scene before calling it a wrap. I closed my eyes for just a quick second so I could relax. I had so much on my mind this past week. I didn't know what to think about all of this.

There was a light knock on my door before it opened. I didn't even bother opening my eyes. I knew who it was just by the quietness as they entered. My feet were picked up before they sat down and placed my feet in their lap. "Are you alright?" he finally asked breaking the silence between us.

I groaned and barely opened my eyes. "I'm so tired," I mumbled. He chuckled and rubbed his hands up and down my legs. "I get it. I am too babe," he said. I sat up a little and pulled my feet out of his lap. I sat up fully and leaned against him. His arm instinctively went around me.

"One more scene, that's all we have," I said as I leaned my head against his shoulder. "Then it's over," he whispered. I felt like there was more to that statement than just the movie. "And then what?" I asked him. I looked up at him as he looked down at me.

His mouth opened but before he could answer there was a sharp knock on the door. It opened and one of the production assistants popped his head through the door. "You're needed on set," he said before closing it. I stood up and straightened my clothes. "Wanna talk about it?" Norman asked and I shook my head. "Later," I said before walking out the door.

~~

Later that night Norman and I drove home in silence. The wrap party was great but we could all tell that it was sad to be over. Norman's hand was wrapped tightly around mine as I stared out the window. I didn't know what to think at this point. It was basically all over.

The fun, the happiness, the freedom was all about to be gone. Norman pulled into our driveway and shut off the car. He let go of my hand and got out of the car not even waiting on me. I sat there for a couple more minutes before getting out of the car and heading inside.

I went into my side of the house and walked past the conjoined door that was standing wide open. Eye in the Dark spotted me and ran to follow me through the house. I walked into the bathroom and decided to take a bath hoping it would help me relax.

I plugged the tub and turned on the hot water before adding some soap for some bubbles. I walked back into the kitchen and made a quick cup of tea before heading back into the bathroom. I stripped of my clothes and sunk myself carefully into the tub.

Eye in the Dark jumped up on the edge of the tub and sat down as he stared at me. The way his big green eyes bore into mine made me a little sad. "I know buddy, I'm gonna miss you too," I said. He meowed in response. I cracked a small smile before laying my head back and closing my eyes.

After the much needed bath and relaxation I changed into some pajamas and walked through the house. I got rid of my dirty cup in the kitchen before turning off the lights. I looked over at the conjoining door to see that it was open but all the lights were off on his side of the house.

I sighed and turned off the remaining lights before heading back to my bedroom. I guess he wasn't joining me tonight. Eye in the Dark was still on my side of the house and he was curled up on my bed. "Alright, buddy. I guess it's just me and you," I said as I crawled into bed.

Eye got up and curled on top of my feet as I laid on my side. My bed felt empty without Norman in it. The other side just felt cold and lonely which made me not able to sleep. Eye purled and snuggled in closer as I pulled the blanket up to my shoulders.

I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh trying to get my body to shut down. Just a few hours ago I couldn't wait to go to bed and now I just couldn't get to sleep. I wondered if Norman was still awake. Who knew with how quiet he was being. We didn't even get to finish our conversation from earlier.

I let out another sigh before closing my eyes hoping that my body would just shut down. Eye shifted and let out a soft meow. I felt the weight of the bed move and I thought it was Eye just shifting some more until I felt a body against mine and solid arms wrap around me.

Norman squeezed me gently and I felt myself leaning back into him. He buried his face in my hair and took a deep breath in. "Hi," he whispered as he exhaled. I let out a small laugh and laid my hand over his. "Hi," I whispered back. I wasn't sure if he was mad or not.

I slowed rolled onto my back and Norman propped himself up on his elbow so he could look down at me. His hand laid across my stomach above my shirt and rubbed gently. "What's on your mind, beautiful?" he asked me as he stared at me intently.

I bit my lip and looked up at him. His blue eyes sparkled. "It's over," I whispered. He gave me a sad smile. "Aren't you excited though? You can finally relax," he said. I gave him a smile in return. "No, because as soon as I get back home Shannon might give me a week off before talking about touring," I said.

Norman's hand slipped under my shirt and I felt goosebumps instantly appear on my skin. Norman noticed too as I shivered. "Why don't you come back with me?" Norman asked. It fell silent quickly as I thought about it. I couldn't impose on his and Mingus's life, could I?

I shook my head. "I don't know about that," I said. Norman frowned slightly. "Why not?" he asked me. I placed my hand over his again. His hand stopped its movements and came out from under my shirt to hold mine. "That's too much," I said.

Norman's fingers laced with mine as his other arm came behind my head. "We've been together for five months now and we're already sharing the bed. I don't think there's much more to it," he said. I let out a small laugh. "It's not that simple," I said.

Norman chuckled now. "No, you're making it too complicated," he said. I closed my eyes and felt Norman get really close. I opened them to see him hovering above me. "I'll think about it," I said. Norman cracked a small smile. "You don't have much time we're leaving tomorrow," Norman said.

I looked over at my packed bags by the doorway. "I know, I'm just too tired to think right now and don't want to say the wrong answer," I said. Norman pulled me towards him. "Whatever answer you have for me I'll be okay with," Norman said.

"Let's get some sleep," Norman said as his arms wrapped tightly around me. I snuggled into his side and laid my head on his chest. His hand went to my hair and started playing with it lulling me into a sleep. I had a big decision to make in less than twelve hours and at this rate I wasn't sure which one to do.

So Violet has a big decision to make. Do you think she is making it too complicated or could she be scared to make the next step with Norman? What do you think?
