The Locker Next Door: Chapter Fourteen

You Can't Handle The Truth!

First and foremost, I am totally floored by the response my last post got. I can't believe I inspired some of you guys to come clean about your feelings. I hope all of you got the happy ending you've been wishing for. You deserve it for being so damn encouraging while I was being such a chicken. Kudos. Smiley faces. Jazz hands. High fives. Et cetera.

Norman's not a drug dealer. Not even close.

He's an insomniac.

According to him, he's got chronic insomnia. He's suffered from it his whole life, which is why he has those purple shadows under his eyes. I did some research on the internet. Did you know that chronic insomnia can actually make someone more alert? That explains a lot.

And he knew my name. He's known all along, the sneaky bastard. I'm not going to tell you who it was, but rest assured that we've talked in person since the last blog. And considering that this blog was mainly a "rant-about-how-frustrating-Norman-is" blog, I've decided that this is my final post. My swan song. My farewell speech. Et cetera.

Thanks for all the encouragement, guys. If not for this, I may never have discovered what an awesome kisser Norman is.

Why can't things like this happen to me?

Posted by HTMLoL December 5 at 10:02 PM

Because you, like myself, aren't nearly as lucky as she obviously is.

OF COURSE.

At least you have sense enough not to broadcast your identities all over the place.

Posted by Mamacita December 5 at 10:23 PM

The blog is done? How am I supposed to amuse myself now?

Posted by Ah…ThePowerOfCheese December 5 at 10:30 PM

Goodnight, The Locker Next Door. It was nice knowing you.

Posted by GoodnightTeaspoon December 5 at 10:37 PM

But your story with Norman is just beginning! Don't stop now!

Posted by Sting-Raye December 5 at 10:41 PM

The fact that he's an insomniac doesn't explain every single weird thing about him. Or his family.

Posted by ISaidGoodDay December 5 at 10:48 PM

You guys are going to be so happy together!

Posted by I-HAVE-FORSEEN December 5 at 10:55 PM

That's doubtful. Most relationships like this don't last.

Posted by AcerbicizeMe December 5 at 11:00 PM

Oh that's cheerful.

Posted by Fish'n'Chips December 5 at 11:11 PM

I've changed my mind. Your life is a fairy tale, not a soap opera. You should sell your story to Hollywood.

Posted by Passing4Sane December 5 at 11:16 PM

So he made the deadline after all. Sure you don't want to tell us who it was?

Posted by VoiceOfReason December 5 at 11:22 PM

I have to say that while I'm happy you and Norman are finally together, I'm a little bummed that this blog is done.

Posted by I'mYourLove December 5 at 11:37 PM

Congratulations! 

I don't begrudge you your happy ending with Norman, but I still wish you had turned out to be Yuri Honda.

Posted by AnimeMan December 6 at 12:13 AM

I can't help but wonder if this isn't going to be a healthy relationship…

Posted by Dr.Phil-Wannabe December 6 at 12:40 AM

It probably isn't.

Posted by Kodak December 6 at 1:01 AM

Don't be such downers.

Posted by EverTheOptimist December 6 at 1:26 AM

I can't believe that stunt actually worked.

Posted by Harriet-Potter December 6 at 1:52 AM

Just so you know, I'm glad you started this blog. If you hadn't, I might not have had the courage to tell Beth I love her. We're going to the movies on Saturday.

Posted by BashfulBoy December 6 at 2:05 AM

That's great! And thank you guys again for all the support. btw Dr. Phil, AcerbicizeMe, AND Kodak, the relationship is quite healthy. Kindly shut up.

Read and Review, please! Flames are welcome.

Hugs the size of Texas to everyone who has reviewed and put this story on their alerts—plus being patient while I try to write the next chapter. You are the bomb and any other nineties slang word that means crazy awesome.

Sorry this update took so long. The new semester started and I've been busy moving in to my new apartment and getting adjusted to my classes. And while I know there are several authors out there who have far more complicated lives than mine who are updating more often, I just can't multitask like they do. Something ends up suffering, and I'd rather my writing didn't start sucking just because I'm rushed.

The next chapter will be the last, so thanks in advance for sticking with me until the end! I'll be wrapping it up as well as posting the playlist, so stay tuned.

Chapter Fifteen coming soon to a story near you!
