He Saved Me || Part 5: Alice and The Window

Alice's POV
(TW: suicide and family issues mentions and eating problems )

I would've talked to him but a lot of other stuff was on my mind, like gettin' out of the hellhole I call 'home'. Me and my brother had a rule when we were home together, keep our phones on silent when mom's here. She had yelled me for not doing somethin' correctly. God, how despised my own mother. She yells and screams like dad's still there. But how did you escape Norman? Was it that window in your room? Or somewhere else?

I've had many attempts to kill myself but none have worked. I just want to leave this absolute hell hole, I wanna die. I'm kinda done pretending to be happy everyday, I started to cut my shoulders. I'm about a day clean now though. As I'm just sitting in my room I hear arguing. Is that Norman...? "Why the hell is he back here?" I thought

I walk out and I see Norman and mom arguing and he tells me to run out. He had left the door open and I ran !! I started to pull on his car door handle and when it open I fell back. I stood up and jumped in and locked all the doors. A few minutes later, Norman walked out and knocked on the window of the car, our secret knocking code. . I open the door and let him in and he pumps the brakes and leaves. He was covered in bruises and his bandage was ripped a bit. I didn't know where he was talking me but I didn't care as long as it's not in the hellhole.

"N-Norman!" I shouted. "YOU KNOW YOU'RE SPEEDING RIGHT?!" I yelled at him. 90 miles per hour, my brothers white hair whipping in the wind. He ignores me for one reason, he's driving. Until, he slows down. We we're back in Wishington and got pulled over... 😅

Norman's POV

I knew I was speeding, but that didn't stop me from getting my sister away from our mom. I had finally slowed down. We were back in Wishington. I temporarily stop at the nearest gas station to fill up on gas. I give Alice some money so she can get some snacks for herself. She walks out with a big ass bag of Fritos and a gallon of Cherry Coke. We drive back home and and Morgan and Maria are waiting at the front door for us. Alice comes inside and Maria talks with her like she did with me. I set up her bed on the couch. Maria is more like our mom than our real one if I'm being honest. They finish their conversation and I give her a hug as she cries and Morgan joins in. I'm really happy I have them all here with me..

"I just finished my famous pirogies!" Maria had said and she brought us to the table. I stared at my food. I couldn't eat it. The texture is too much for me right now. I don't think I can do it. I hear the sound of talking but I don't know what their saying as my mind gets lost in my thoughts.
"NORMAN!" yelled Morgan. I jumped and covered my ears for a minute and then I say "oh sorry I didn't hear you sorry.."
