Hidden

Get Away

Fp POV:
She nods her head at my offer and I drive to pops. I missed her the past week and I was just happy to be spending time with her at this point. That and I needed to know how she ended up in a cell anyway.
I try not to stare at her but it's hard. She has this hot red dress on and one of her legs is fully out in the open through a slit in the dress. Her bare shoulders are on display and I can't help but want to give her my jacket in case she's cold but I remind myself of my place in her life. A friend, if that maybe merely someone she used to know.
We get to pops and get out of the car. We sit at our usual both opposite each other  and Pop comes over and takes our order.
She says she isn't hungry and just gets a vanilla milkshake and I order some fries because I know she is probably hungry and steal some of them.
"So are you going to tell me what you did?" I ask and she crosses her arms. Her face soon changes from a stubborn one to a proud one.
"I gave Penelope Blossom what was coming to her" she says not sounding one bit sorry.
"How bad was it?" I ask because I know exactly how she can get in fights.
"Don't worry tom held me back after one hit" she sighs.
"As much as I love impulsive Alice, you might want to tone it down a little" I say without thinking and her face changes from a proud smile to a serious looks.
Alice POV:
Did I hear that right. Oh stop kidding yourself, there's no way he meant to say that right?
"You love impulsive Alice?" I question knowing the way he answers this could change everything.
"I love all the Alice's" he chuckles and I'm not quite sure what to think. I mean what's that supposed to mean?
"Good to know" I say nodding my head and cursing at my self. Good to know really Alice? Shit I was bad at talking to him. He had an effect on me like I couldn't put on a fake persona around him.
I was saved by pop who came over at the right time with my drink and his fries.
"Thanks Pop" I say.
"It's okay you two, no fighting this time there are others here" he says pointing around to the people in the diner. I hid my face in my palms. I forgot he was even there those times and I can only image how bad me and Fp look here together after all that went down.
"You don't have to worry about that Pop" fp reply's and pop nods and walks off.
It makes me sad to hear that because I enjoyed out heated kisses in here, well in general.
He pushes his fries to the middle.
"I know you will want some" he says making me look up. I did want some. Uhh it annoys me how much he knows me.
"Thank you" I say unable to help myself from taking one.
"Are you okay Alice?" He asks surprising me slightly.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I say but deep down I know I'm not. I just needed to get out of the northside for a bit, leave this boring life I have made some myself and let loose.
"Because I know you and you didn't just hit Penelope because she provoked you. There's something deeper than that" he states and I know he's right.
"Okay, im just sick of all these northsiders and their entitlement. I know I'm a hypocrite because for a long time I've been one of them but what she said was out of order" I blurt about it go on my rant.
"Well what did she say?" He asks and I realise what she had said had been about him. That was the whole reason I got so mad because she degraded him. I couldn't tell him that.
"Nothing, just the usual Penelope blossom smart mouth" I lie not being able to look at him because he can always tell when I'm lying.
"Tell me the truth Alice" he pries making me look over at him.
"She talked about Hal" I admit because that part was true and technically I wasn't lying.
"And that's why you hit her? You shouldn't care about that man-" he says about to go on a speech on how I shouldn't take any notice because Hal is nothing. I could practically hear what he was going to say already.
"And I don't care about him or what people say about him. What bothered me about what she said is that she started digging into..into....you" i finally admit feeling a weight lifted from my shoulders after telling him the truth.
"Me, you don't have to defend me. I don't care what that woman has to say about me" he says looking surprised that I even cared.
"I care about it, I care about you" I say feebly looking down into my lap. I feel his hand reach for mine which was flat on the table. It gives me a sense of calm and reassurance that no one else has been able to replicate.
"I care about you too Alice but if you were to go hitting everyone who had something bad to say about me you would have blue fists by the end of it" he chuckles softly.
"Your right but it's just Penelope, I'm fact no. It's all northsiders minus Fred. They all act so up themselves it ridiculous" I say and I feel his hand stroke mine.
"I get what you mean" he says.
"Sometimes I just want to just leave this place, that house. Just everything" I tell him and he nods.
"Then come with me for the day. We can go anywhere you want and I promise I will have you home safe before 10" he says like he used to when we were kids making me laugh slightly. I like the idea of having a day with him. To just escape life a little.
"You know what? That sounds great" I reply and look up to see him smiling at me.
"So where do you want to go?" He asks pushing the fries completely over to me and I help myself.
"Greendale maybe" I say thinking of the first place that came to mind.
"Greendale?" He asks slightly taken aback.
"Yeah, no one knows us there and I think they have some places we can have a little fun in" I reply.
"Sounds like a plan" he returns.
I finish my food and I insist on paying for the food although he tries to stop me.
We get in the truck and start the drive to Greendale. Every now and then he catches me looking at him but he just smiles back.
Once we get there we park in a random shops parking lot.
"Where do you want to go first blondie?" He asks and I look around me.
"I don't know let's explore" I say grabbing his hand and pulling him out the truck.
Fp POV:
She pulls me out the truck and I smile at the genuine smile that's on her face.
I follow her and she tugs my hand into a load of trees that soon planned out to be a forest.
"Do you even know here we are going?" I ask as she drags me along.
"Nope and that's the fun in it" she says and I remember what she has on.
"Alice your going to get your dress dirty here" I remind her.
"Oh fuck the dress" she replies.
End up running through the forest like crazy people laughing all the way to the end of it.
"Where are we?" I ask completely out of breath.
"I'm not sure, I think we are in main part of Greendale" she replies looking around us at all the shops and restaurants.
"You hungry?" I ask.
"For some tequila" she replies and I smirk at her. We end up walking into a random bar. All eyes fall to her and I can't help but feel jealous but I feel her grip tighten on my hand which makes me feel better instantly. Neither of us had brought up the subject of what we were to each other and I doubt we would. All we knew was that this was was going to be a fun night.
