  Chapter 4

 Alice's Point of view

I woke up, letting my eyelids flutter slowly open, and turned on my side to look out the window. The sun had just risen and the birds were chirping good morning. I pulled my aching legs over the bed and stood up, supporting myself with my arms. I let go and took a step and didn't fall,  but I was really unsteady. I placed my hand on the wall to keep me from falling over. I walked over to the door and creaked it open. William was what appeared to be asleep next to the door.

His eyelids snapped open and he looked my direction immediately. "You're awake," He said stretching his legs and arms out, yawning. 

"Does it look like I'm sleep walking?" I replied with a sarcastic tone even though I really had no reason to be mean to William. I began to walk towards the stairs with my hand moving along the wall, trying to keep myself from losing balance.

William stood up and walked next to me. "I'm sure you want breakfast," He said holding out his hand wanting me to get my hand off the wall. I pushed his hand away and began down the stairs. I could see the bottom with William waiting for me. "Took you long enough," He said trying to cheer me up. "

Fuck off," I replied not wanting him to be near me after that comment. 

"Ouch, Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." I walked past him and walked into the kitchen. He flew past me and pointed to the stool. I looked away, pretending I didn't see and walked to the pantry.

I pulled out the syrup. I walked to the freezer and pulled out the waffles. I put two waffles in the toaster and pulled out a plate, after searching the kitchen for it, ready to put waffles on it. "Fine, I'll leave," He said walking towards the door. 

"Wait," I slightly whimpered. The thought of being alone right now with Hatter still lurking in the back of my mind scared me. Would he come back? "Please don't leave me," I whispered sadly.

The moment I see Hatter, I want to strangle him. I want to kick him in the nuts and then kick him while he's down, but I was in no way able to do that. I am sure that even if I was back to my full strength, I probably still wouldn't be able to do that.

"How long have I been sleeping?" I asked pulling a fork out of a drawer after opening several others. 

"Maybe three to two days." 

"What?!" I asked almost dropping the fork. 

"You were tired," He said turning to face me and sit on the stool. I fully assessed how I felt at that very moment. I was starving. I wasn't smelling too good. My head felt like it was trying to fall off of my shoulders. My legs felt like they were going to give way. I wanted to cry at the simplest things that aggravated me.

The waffles popped up and I turned around and pulled them out of the toaster and put them on the plate. I grabbed the syrup and poured it on the waffles. I picked up the plate and set it on the bar three stools over from where William sat. I walked around and sat on the stool.

"Okay, you tell me to fuck off, so I try to leave and you won't let me," William said scooting over one stool. 

"Just please, stay," I said taking a bite out of my waffles. He saw the fear in my eyes and scooted one more stool over as he returned his gaze to the marbling on the counters.

I didn't feel scared of him. I felt safe around him, but I didn't want to get too close to him, but him sitting next to me provided a sense of security. He moved to the stool next to me. I took another bite. He knew what happened. I bet he was the one that pulled Hatter away, given his fading black eye. Thinking about what happened sent shivers down my spine and William must of saw my uncomfortable shiver. "If he comes near you. I will kill him," He said in a firm tone, our eyes meeting briefly. His eyes were so dark at that moment and his ears appeared to stand on alert. I quickly shook it and stared at my waffles and finished up.

I stood up and before I could grab my plate, William grabbed it and was already setting it in the sink. "I'm gonna go get a shower," I said and then took off up stairs. I went to my door and stood in front of it. I didn't even want to touch the door after replaying what happened over and over in my head, it brought tears to my eyes. I clenched my teeth. "That bastard!" I ground out. I couldn't even go into my room because of him. Just then I felt William standing behind me. 

"Problem?" He asked worriedly.

"Can I take a shower In another room?" I asked hoping he would say yes. 

"Yes, you can take a shower in mine. I'll get clothes for you and a towel for you," He started walking down the hall and I followed him. We stopped at a door that had a picture of him on it. He smoothly opened the door as if he had done it a dozen times. 

Inside the room was a bed with a black bed frame and a white comforter with black pillows. Across from the bed was a black dresser and it had a picture of the white rabbit. Next to the bed was a black night stand with a white lamp. The floor was white, soft carpet and sure enough there was another balcony. There were two black doors with silver handles. One must've been the closet and the other the bathroom.

He walked in and opened the bathroom door. "I'll go get you soap, a towel, and clothes," I started too look around. Immediately, he was back in the doorway holding soap, clothes, and a towel. He handed them out for me and I took them. I was a little hesitant. He walked out closing the door behind him. I set the clothes and towel on the cabinet. The bathroom was pretty big, but it felt so small at the same time. As if I had suddenly become claustrophobic, because of Hatter. I seemed to have now become mad because of him. My fingers traced the pin pricks he left on my neck and I didn't even want to look at my body.

His bathroom had a white bathtub with a black shower curtain and a shower nozzle so it could easily be converted into a shower. Right next to it was the shining white toilet. For a boys bathroom it was surprisingly clean. Right next to that, was the sink that spread out into the cabinet with my clothes and towel. Right below my feet was a black fuzzy rug and below that was white and black checkered tile. The walls were white until it got into the shower. It turned into black and white checkered tile.

I examined the clothes William brought me. He brought me a dark blue dress with a white petticoat and a white apron. He also brought black and white stripe stockings and a black ribbon.

I turned on the shower and let it warm up then I removed my clothes, letting them fall to the floor and I stepped into the steaming shower. I let the water cover my spoiled body. My grabbed the soap and began scrubbing at my skin. I continued scrubbing and scrubbing before I fell to the floor of the tub and started crying. I lost it, everything. My sense of security, my virginity, my sanity. It's all gone. I silently cried and slowly heard the door creak open. "Alice, are you okay?" William asked gently. 

"I'm fine!" I sobbed back. William grabbed the towel from off the counter and slowly pushed the shower curtain to the side, looking away. He felt the wall for the faucet and turned the water off. I took the towel slowly and wrapped it around me as I stood up. William quickly spun around as I stepped out of the bath tub. 

"I will leave you to it then," William said as he began to walk out. I grabbed his arm and he turned around only to be engulfed by my arms. "Alice," he said softly. I began crying again, but this time into his shirt.

If he wasn't there to support me, I'm sure I would've fallen to the floor by now. He gently rubbed the towel over my back not really understanding what to do. "Do humans usually cry this much?" William asked. I didn't answer. I was too consumed with crying to make any coherent word. "Just know that when I see Hatter, I will kill him. I would've killed him then, but the queen wouldn't let me."

Eventually I dried my tears and he walked out so I could get dressed. I stared into the mirror at my scared, slightly bruised, naked body, and instantly felt sad and depressed looking at the waste of space. I got dressed and tied the ribbon into my hair, running a brush gently through it.

I walked out to find William laying on his bed, headphones on and his eyes closed.
