XOXOX

As Dylan looks at Norma and Caleb on the ground, holding each other for dear life; a strange sense of peace washes over him. Just earlier this morning he was freaking out with how weird Norman acted early this morning, but seeing two people, his parents, see each other again after so long, made him think things were going to be okay in the end. He still had to tell Norma about Norman acting like her last night but that could wait.

He tares his eyes away from the two when he hears him phone go off, seeing EMMA on the screen brought a tiny smile to his face before he quickly looks over at his brother to see if he noticed. Fortunately for him, Norman was too busy still staring at his mother and uncle. He had a weird look on his face but that he would think about later.

Dylan answers the phone before walking away from Norman to make sure he couldn't hear his conversation.

"Hey." He simply answers. It was a weird thought that while he saw her a couple hours ago, he missed her. What was going on with him?

"Hey, is everything okay? I went back to the house and saw you and Norman gone and your truck still there." She asks him with a worried tint to her voice, and once again it warmed his heart to think about someone worrying about him for once. No one, not even his step dad, the guy he thought was his dad for so long, worried about him.

"Yeah...um Norma came home." He says and he can almost imagine the bright smile that graced over her pretty face, making her eyes sparkle.

"Really? That's amazing! I'm so happy for you...and Norman of course." She exclaims almost shyly, as if she should be thinking about Norman first, when in reality Dylan was the first person she was happy for. He was so strong last night in taking care of his little brother. He took the role of the responsible brother without hesitation and that was an extraordinary thing.

"Thanks Emma. Really if it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would have done last night." She was such a big help to him and he wants to make it up to her somehow. Maybe get her something?

"Dylan, you would have been fine. But that doesn't mean you had to be alone. I meant what I said last night. I care about your family and that includes you; I'll always be here if you need me." As she spoke she knew with every fiber of her being that she would jump at the chance to help Dylan again. He was such an amazing man and she was happy she could do something to make him know he wasn't alone, she would. She saw so much of herself in him and thought, maybe he is someone to be inspired by.

"Thanks. Actually there was something I didn't tell you." He says knowing that she hated being outside the circle when it comes to what happens. After last night he knows it was just another thing they had in common. With that in mind, he wanted to be as honest with her as she was with him.

"What happened?" She asks worried again. Maybe Norma was going to leave again and take Norman? What if they were both leaving Dylan again? Oh no!

"Norma came back and dragged us to go see our uncle. They are...well they aren't fighting, they were crying to each other when I answered the phone. I think they are finally dealing with what happened between them." He doesn't want to hold the truth from her but he's not sure how she would react to finding out that he was the result of an incest relationship, a forced incest relationship. What if she acted different around him? He's not sure how he could deal with that.

"Whatever happened between Norma and her brother must have been real damaging for her to not want to talk to him for so many years, but you did what you thought was right. You wanted to help your...your family and have a relationship with him. Yes, he may not be the best person in the world but he's a part of you, and that's all that matters. There is nothing wrong with what you did." She speaks with such conviction; with so much passion it almost makes Dylan freeze. Did she know what Caleb did to his mom? Did she know this whole time and still continued to defend him? To care about him?

That was something he knew he was going to ask her soon.

"Listen, I have to go; but I'll talk to you soon, I promise. Why don't you get some sleep? I know you didn't sleep much last night." He suggests making her heart soar to think about him worrying about her. She was used to people worrying but this seemed like a different kind of gesture.

"You're right I didn't. I'll talk to you later. Let me know if you need anything." She says and he knows if he asked, she would be there for him. She was that kind of a person.

"Thank you again. I swear I'll make all this up to you but I have to go. Bye." He says softly, hanging up before she can respond.

As he walks back over to Norman, he sees Norma and Caleb have stopped holding each other but they are still on the ground talking softly. He thinks back to last night when Emma told him she was mad at Norman for telling Norma about Caleb staying at the farm and he wonders again if she knows his dark secret. That he was an abomination. For some reason it didn't worry him as much as he thought it would. If Emma was that amazing of a woman to defend him and understand him; then he was lucky to have someone like her in his life.

"Who was that?" Norman asks not even looking over to him. Something dark twisted in her soul at the sight of seeing Mother and her rapist talk so...intimately to each other. That is something he would not tolerate; she would not being taken away from him.

Dylan looks at Norman and gives a small smile to himself. A part of him wanted to give a sarcastic comment to piss his brother off like he usually does, but he stopped himself. Something was wrong with Norman and pissing him off isn't the smartest thing he can do.

"Just a friend." He mutters. But as he says that a part of him thinks that's not all she is. Oh shit, he was in trouble.

This girl was something other than a friend, he just didn't know what she was to him yet.
