Normal Sounds Perfect

It's been 4 months since that night on the cliffs. I've spent most of my time at the Thompsons house. After that night Dottie called the police and reported my abuse and they've since become my foster family. They got me placed into therapy to help with my urge to hurt myself, as well as dealing with the abuse which apparently had lasting effects…who knew?

"Come on Meg! Mom wants us down stairs to go to the market now." Tony insisted, pushing me in my bed and I groaned, getting up and dressing in: cgi/set?id=189010501

"Looking good girl!" Dottie said as I walked down the stairs.

"You know it." I called back as I walked out the door, making her laugh. We only drove for a few minutes to get to the market. Tony was messing around with a yo-yo as Bob and Dottie were buying food. I was at a booth right beside them looking at some jewelry. Typically if I find a bracelet that I like Dottie will buy it for me, knowing my need to cover my arms, so I always find myself browsing.

It was at that moment some jock decided to come and try to flirt with me…he was failing miserably might I add. I was just taking the money out of my pocket to buy a black chain bracelet I had found when he grabbed my hand. "Let me get it for you babe."

"No. Get your hand off of me. I would appreciate it if you would never touch me again. Thank you." I handed the man the money and grabbed my bag, turning to see Tony looking at 2 kids…whistling? Oh my god! Rudolph and Anna! I had just seen Fredrick and Freda turn the corner as I was about to walk over when my arm was grabbed. "Hands off! What don't you understand."

"People don't turn me down girl!"

"Oh yay, I feel special, I'll be the first." I turned around again, seeing the Thompsons talking to him…he was right there, for the first time in 4 months. He looked up from his conversation with my mom and grinned. I was about to run over when once again my arm was grabbed. "Okay! That's it! You need to get this through your thick head. NO! I'm spoken for, now if you don't let go of my arm this second I'm gonna kick you right where it counts." He glared at me but still didn't let me go and that's when I had had enough. I swung my bag up, smacking him in the head with it, making him let go, before turning and grabbing a broom that was leaning against the counter of one of the booths and hit him in the face before swinging low and catching him right between the legs, making him double over in pain. I grabbed my bag, before turning and walking over to my family, being caught in a hug by Anna, who practically jumped on me. "Anna!" I cheered, hugging her tightly.

"He's missed you so much. It's getting kind of annoying really." She said, making Gregory growl from where he stood.

"That's okay, she's getting pretty annoying about him too." Tony stated and I rolled my eyes, walking over to Rudolph, pulling him to me, making him laugh.

"I think you're forgetting someone very important." He mumbled into my shirt and I winked. I then hugged Freda and Fredrick quickly.

"Why am I last babe?" He practically groaned.

"Because once I hug you I'm never letting go again." He grinned, pulling me into his arms, holding me to his chest firmly.

"That's fine by me." He whispered before pulling me to his lips gently. I don't know how long we stood there in our own little world, but when we pulled back, everyone was gone. Our parents were looking at food and the kids had found a booth full of toys and stuff. "Come on." Gregory said, pulling me out of the market and back to their new house, and leading me to his room. "You like it?"

It was very spacious, and almost completely set up already, except for the bed sheets and posters.

"I need to go grab one last box from the van, I'll be right back."

"I'll wait right here babe." I smiled, putting my bag onto his couch before grabbing his bed sheets and making the bed quickly, putting cases on the pillows and arranging them nicely on the king sized bed.

"Wow. Didn't expect that. Are you implying something?" He joked, wiggling his eyebrows, making me chuckle.

"Maybe later, what did you need to get?" I asked, not seeing a box. He reached into his pocket, pulling a small box out and handing it to me. I took it carefully and opened the box, seeing a gold bracelet with one word on it. Fate. On the back, was the inscription: G.S+M.K

I couldn't help the tears that fell down my face as I stared at it. "Do you not like it? I can get-" I cut him off, jumping from the bed, onto him, taking him to the floor and kissing his face over and over again. "So you like it?"

"I love it. Almost as much as I love you." I stated as he placed it on my wrist. I removed my shoes and stripped to my underwear as he did, shutting all the blinds and the door, before snuggling in the bed together, content just being together for the first time in months.

"I guess she's staying here for the night." I heard someone say as I woke up.

"She can stay whenever she wants." That sounded like Freda and Dottie.

"I do have to point out the fact that they're no longer vampires, which means they can have children. Maybe we shouldn't make a habit of this." Bob said quietly.

"Then we'll get condoms later Bob, he makes her happy, he's the reason she's getting better at all. 2 months clean, wanting to be better by the time he got back. I think they both deserve time together. Freda and I will make food for them and they can stay together for a while. Let's leave them be, they both need a good nights sleep." They said as the door closed.

"Did you hear all that?" I whispered.

"Yeah, we're getting free condoms!" He quietly cheered making me pinch him.

"I can stay whenever I want. This is it. You're human and I'm safe. We can have a normal life."

"Normal sounds perfect."
