Norma's POV:
I remember waking up that morning feeling sick and somewhat happy, yes happy, I felt like a part of my sadness had been shared and I no longer needed to feel like I had no one, I was going to get norman help. But I couldn't rely on alex anymore, I grabbed my heels and walked home before he woke, I needed to do this alone. in my own space and in my own way, so I did what Norma bates did best.....I left
Once I got home I sneaked into the bathroom and freshened myself up, I brushed my hair back and starred into the mirror for a second just before I was interrupted by Dylan
"Norman? Do you know where Norma is?" I opened the door slowly looking up at Dylan
"Look who decided to show up?" I folded my arms in disappointment
"Norma?....god Don't you start, I feel bad enough okay" he walked down the stairs and I shortly followed
"What so you got pissed at the world and you took it out on alex the only man that ever helped me in this crummy town" I slammed my cup down on the table while filling it up with coffee
"Look Norma I thought he hurt you....don't you remember all them years I watched Sam beat you up, do you remember that, well I wasn't gunna let that happen...not again" I walked tensely up to him cupping his face in my palm
"Look around you Dylan, he isn't Sam.....look at me, I'm never gunna let anyone do that to me again, or to you or Norman I promise"
"Isn't that what you said when I was 15? And what happened mom? He tried to drown you in the bath tub, and then he turned on me beat me up right in front of you and you did nothing"
"And I told you just how sorry I was!!!" a tear left my eye
"I didn't need words mom.....I needed you.....but you where never there" Dylan moved to look out the window tensing his glass of orange juice in his hand
" I'm sorry....but I tried so hard, to be the mom you needed, but I couldn't.......i couldn't" I dried up the tear as I walked a little closer, placing my hand on shoulder
"Get off me......okay...I'm gunna stay at the farm....I just can't do this, trying to get close to you is impossible, I'm done trying" I was about to say something when I was interrupted by Norman
"Good morning Dylan....oh mother your up too, this is great we can all have breakfast together.......mother are you okay??.....Dylan" he walked into the kitchen slowly, kissing me on the cheek while preparing the toast
"I'd love to have breakfast with you both buddy but I've got to go to the farm. Gunner has no idea what he's doing....and emma has her operation later......so I'll see you soon" I collapsed into the kitchen chair staring in at my swirling coffee
"Mother your still wearing your dress....from last night" I heard the door slam shut as I sat up
"Yeah I got in late last night....you know what I'm gunna get changed okay, you make breakfast" I walked up behind. Norman and hugged him tight, kissing him on the cheek
"Mom?" I turned around quickly
"Yeah?"
"I know where you dumped that woman's body......from room 4" I looked at him startled
"What-w-what- who's body?" I dragged my feet along the floor as I made my way over to him
"The woman, brown hair, silver earrings, she came up to the house"
He leaned in close "it's okay mother I won't tell anyone, but I have to get you help, they will think I neglected you" a tear left my eye instantly as the words spoke, he was no longer my little boy
