Norma's POV
Weeks went by  since little Nora passed
Yes I named her Nora as a little reminder that she's a fighter
we buried her in a local graveyard
their was flowers all round and pictures Dylan drew for her it's was perfect she was perfect
I fell into this coma where I couldn't eat couldn't sleep everything I did seemed impossible .
When we got home from the funeral I just remember lying in my bed crying over the fact I could never hold her I could never kiss her beautiful face. it broke my heart
Sam: Norma!!
Norma: yeahhh!!
Sam: I'm going to the supermarket want anything? Wait why are you crying!
Norma: I just burried my little girl Sam !!
Sam: 3 months ago, that happened 3 months ago she was my little girl too I'm hurting too you know
Norma: you know what can I go to the supermarket I could really use fresh air
Sam: sure I'll look after Dylan
Norma: no it's okay I'm taking him with me I need to take him for a hair cut any ways
Sam: okay well I'm gunna go to the bar I'll give your love to Jenny
Norma: who's Jenny
Sam: she's the bar manager
Norma: .........
Sam: you don't trust me?
Norma: ........
Sam: look at me Norma your the only woman I love
Norma: okay
Sam: okay
Sam tried to kiss me but I backed away
Norma: Dylan grab your coat where going out
We where sat in the car with an ice cream
Dylan: mom?
Norma: yes
Dylan: I think sam is a bad guy
Norma: what why would you think that?
Dylan:........
Norma: Dylan...dylan hey why would you think that??
Dylan: he put Nora in the stars
Norma: hunny lisnte sometimes stuff happens but it isn't anyone's fault it wasn't my fault and it wasn't sam''s fault....okay?
Dylan: .....okay
Norma: lets go and get that hair cut

Weeks passed and I eventually began to feel normal again Dylan's birthday was coming up he was gunna be 5 and I wanted to make it special for him all this stress with Nora it's what he deserved
In December at about 1.30 am in the morning I received a phone call from Jacksons mother she was crying and begging for me to help her
"Hai Norma when you get this please please can you call me back Jackson hasn't been answering my phone calls or replying back to my texts he left me a note saying he loved us and that he loved you and Dylan and I'm worried that he is gunna  do something stupid ,no ones knows him as well as you please get back to me"

I Jamp out of bed stuck a skirt on with this pink old blouse grabbed my coat and car keys and went to Jacksons house
His lights where on
I began to knock and their was no answer I knocked again still no answer
I went to the back of his house and looked through the window I saw Jackson laying on the floor covered in his own vomit
I reminded me of my mother
I smashed the glass and ran towards Jackson
Norma: no no no no no Jackson can you hear me JACKSON!
I looked around and all I saw is was this note by the side of this pot of medication the note said
"Dear who ever might find me, I'm sorry you found me this way
Tell my son I love him and that I'm so so sorry tell Norma she's my world I never meant to hurt any of them i can't do this anymore tell my mum this was never her fault as she will try to blame her self tell my dad to take Dylan to his first soccer game the tickets are on the table"
I just felt this scream come from within me I just screamed and screamed and screamed I didn't know what to do.
I began to do CPR but nothing was happening I checked his pulse and still no sign of humanity before I knew it he was gone, the one man I could call up and talk about my problems the one man that would tell me I'm better then that , the one man that saved me from my brother the same man that showed me I'm not that scared little girl anymore.
I lay their with Jackson between my legs tears where rolling down my face he was the only guy that believed in me he was the only man that was ever their for me
I walked out the house after calling 911 and sat on the pavement I saw him coming out of his house in a body bag his mum screaming his dad collapsing to the floor ...I was numb

Out of nowhere Sam appeared he had been out all night he came up to me stinking of booze
Sam: heeeyyy babeee
Norma: Sam go home
Sam: you go home I came out here to get you see I'm such a good husband
Norma: how would you know where I was ?
Sam: u left a note saying u went to Jacksons
Norma: did you drive here ?
Sam: of course I did how els do you think I got here? Wooooww is that Jackson in that bag ? ...are you crying over Jackson?
Norma: Sam where's Dylan. please tell me he's still at home with your mom ?
Sam: of course not he's in the back I wasn't gunna leave your son with that bitch?
Norma: Oh my god!!!
I ran to the back of the car and saw Dylan crying in his safety chair
Norma: Dylan hey mommy's here
Sam: what are you doing you can't take him out I'm driving him home
Norma: over my dead body are you driving my 4 year old son home your smashed Sam I'm driving him home !
Sam: no your not
I walked off to my car and put Dylan in his seat
Sam: stop doing this !!!
He grabbed my arm and began to twist it
Norma: Sam your hurting me Get off!!!
Officer: is everything okay here ma'am?
Norma: yes everything is fine thank you
I got into my car and drove off back to the house
I didn't know how I was gunna tell Dylan that his dad is now in the stars that my only best friend is in the stars
I guess it's like they say "sometimes only the best people get taken away"
I was left on the earth to face my Damons alone I had no family all I had was my beautiful baby boy that I loved with every pice of me !
When we got back I took Dylan into the house and made him a drink I sat him down on the sofa and told him
Norma: Dylan
Dylan: yes mommy
Norma: you know daddy??
Dylan: yeah
Norma: well you see come here,
I took him to the window and told him to find the brightest star
Norma: well that star is actually daddy and he's gunna be watching after you from the stars from now on okay?
Dylan: daddy's in the stars ?
Norma: yes he is baby
Dylan: like Nora?
Norma: just like baby Nora
Dylan: .....
Norma: just because u can't see him doesn't mean he's not their and just because he might not answer you straight away doesn't mean he didn't get your message ...just look for the brightest star and you will know that he's looking after you okay?
Dylan: okay.....why are you crying?
Norma's: well you see daddy was my best friend and I loved him very much
Dylan: don't worry mom he will look after you just like he will look after me , you'll see.

I'm sad that Jacksons out of the story let me know what you think ❤️
