Hi guys! Thank you (again) for reading this. I don't own Twilight and/or other Twilight books.
3. Hopeless
Alice p.o.v.

„What have you done Alice? What have you done?" mom jumped up from the ground and slapped me, then huggend me so close it was hard to breathe. I searced for Bella with my eyes, which was logical because i couldn't search with my feet or tongue, and was revealed when i found her allready up.

„Ali, get dressed. Maybe mom should come with us. It's not safe." Mom let go of me to look at her. „No, no sweetheart. You go to school while i pack your things. I'll be gone when you get back." I went upstairs, thinking about her words „I'll be gone when you get back".

„Ali! Get dressed!" I shook that away for the moment and saw Bella allready dressed.

When we got to school, the first thing we heard about was new kids. I don't know how i didn't see it coming but i just hoped that they were nice and not too nosy.

Classes passed slow til it was time for lunch. We sat in our usual places. The table right next to a window. I sat down and ate the apple i bought with the money we stole from Charlie. Bella took a banana. I suddenly zoomed out and different pictures started running before my eyes, just in like my dream. When I was able to make some sence I saw something horribe.

„Bella! We need to go home, now!" I felt tears in my eyes while the whole canteen watched us run away. We ran home as fast as we could, Bella only tripping twice.

I saw our house and no Charlie's car so i took it as 'safe time' and ran inside. But the door was locked so i bounched back off of it. „I've the keys Ali. What is so important anyway?" Bella jogged to the door and unlocked it. My hands were shaking so much so when i opened the door, you could hear the door knob klicking. What i saw was pure terror to me. „Nooo!" i now let tears run freely. But i knew this would happen, I saw it in the canteen.

Mom had a noose around her neck, she had jumped on the stairs. She was still moving so we were only two or three minutes late. That made the whole situation even more bitter, knowing, we could've saved her if we had a car or bikes.

I looked at Bella, who was leaning over mom's dead body. She looked sad and terrified. „Don't leave us, momy!"she hugged her and whispered,:"Together we will run away and live together under the name „Wild roses" and have a horse farm..." she mumbled on and on when our neighbours decided to look why we were making so much noises when it was school time.

She was shoked when she saw Bella leaning over mom's dead body and me sitting on the floor, crying my eyes out.

„Oh my God! I'm calling police." She ran towards her own house and searced for her phone. She found it under the sink and remembered her giving it to a plumber yesterday evening so he could call to his boss.

„Hello, this is 911, what is your emergency?" She was freaking out so she had to take some deep breaths. „A woman hung herself. My neigbour Renee Swan. The Avenue street 174 Forks, Washington D.C. Come quick please." She hung up and ran towards her kichen. She took out the cake she was going to offer on a party later that day but right now the only thing she could think about was me, still crying on the floor, and Bella, whispering randrom stuff about me her and mom.

In about 5 minutes we heard a car drive in and somebody get out.

„I'm home." Charlie said with a sad tone, he wasn't drunk this time. But he was acting because he saw our neighbour's, Sue's figure in our house.

„Alice, Bella! We need to fill some papers." He told us.

„Can't you do that later?" Sue stepped up. While she had been here, she had somehow dragged Bella away and got me sitting on the couch beside her, she crying into my shoulder.

Then annother car came. This one was to take or mom's body.

In an hour they were all gone, including Sue. „What did I say to you about sitting on my couch?" he slapped both of us. I stayed still. He grabbed me by my hair and started shaking me violently when i didn't even whimper. Then he threw me on the floor and started kicking me. I felt my arm go numb and I think my rib was broken when he finished. He did the same to Bella but as much as i tried, I couldn't get up. So i did the only thing i could. Listen to him beating Bella and cry, cry and cry til my eyes were red and puffy.

So that was what she meant with „I'll be gone when you get back"...
