⚠️TW: Mention of rape, suicide, and blood⚠️
Norman's POV
I ended up waking up in the middle of the night. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I didn't know what to do so I walked downstairs. All of my cousins were sleeping on the ground. I tried to walk around them but I accidentally stepped on one of them. Eh. Not my problem. I mean I didn't like him anyways.
I went into the kitchen and got some juice because you know. Juice. I poured some of the juice into my cup and sat down at the table. You know what? I'm gonna go outside after I drink my juice. I mean I have nothing else to do so why not.
I finished my juice and put my cup on the side of the sink because I'm probably gonna get some more later. I then walked to the door and went outside. It's was very cold. Never mind. I'm gonna go get some warm clothes on. I went back inside and locked the door just incase.
I got in my room and put on 3 jackets. Plus I still had my Fall Out Boy sweater on. I also grabbed my beanie off of my dresser. I walked downstairs. Again I had to try to dodge my cousins bodies. And that's really hard. I mean there are like 50 children on the ground. Right now I seriously don't care if I step on one of them. So yea.
After I got through the sea of cousins. I went to the front door. I unlocked the door and went sit in the grass. It's was still dark outside. I just looked up at the stars. They were soo pretty. I just stared up at them in awe.
Time skip~
I eventually had to go inside because it started snowing. I'm not a big fan of snow because it's cold and I'm a baby when it comes to cold things. I was sitting by the fireplace now. Pretty much everyone was up. Except for a few of my cousins. But all my younger cousins wanted to play in the snow. My grandma wanted me to go but I didn't listen.
I've been sitting by the fire for a bit when Fredrick came back inside. He came over by me and sat down. "Do you want a blanket?" I asked. He nodded so I got up. I grabbed him one of my soft blankets. I gave it to him and wrapped myself back in my other blanket. I forgot that A Christmas Story plays 24/7. I quickly got up and turned on the tv. "We're gonna watch a Christmas movie" I said to Fredrick. "Yay!!!" He screamed.
After I turned on the tv I went back by the fire. By this time everyone came back inside and I think everyone was awake. Everyone sat down to drink hot chocolate but me and Fredrick were already warm. We just continued watching the movie.
Everyone ended up coming in the living room and watching the movie. Me and Fredrick just went in the kitchen for some juice. Because juice. "Um Norman what did you ask Santa for Christmas?" He asked me. "Oh I don't really need anything so I didn't ask for anything. All I want is for my grandparents to treat me normal" I said. Fredrick just nodded. "I want a guitar so I can play cool music" he said. I smiled and walked to the fridge. I got out our cups and poured us some juice.
As we were walking back to the living room my grandma called for everyone's attention. "Guys listen I want everyone to go to church tonight so be ready by 4:30. Except you Norman. Wait never mind. You can't stay here alone" my grandma said. "Well no maybe Fredrick could stay here with me" I said. "Well you have a point. I don't think Fredrick will be able to sit down for church" my grandma said.
My older cousin then said "that's not fair. How about I stay?" "Well no because I don't like you and then I purposely walk out the house by myself then I would purposely let someone kidnap me then purposely let them rape me and then purposely commit suicide then purposely come and leave blood all over the walls then purposely go to hell" I said. Everyone went quiet. Great.
Time skip~
Me and Fredrick have been watching A Christmas Story since everyone left. Also for some reason my grandpa kept telling me that I had to keep the fire going. I don't know why. But I'm gonna keep it going just so I can be warm. Everyone still wasn't home yet. They stayed for a long time because there was this big dinner after church. SoI had to feed Fredrick and myself but I wasn't that hungry.
