Alice In Wonderland

Brian's Pov
"What are you doing?" Alice asks me.
"You cooked, I'll clear." I said taking the plates inside the kitchen.
"That's very democratic." Alice says.
"Not my usual style." I murmur and put the plates in the sink.
"So you play guitar?" She asks.
"Actually I happen to be the guitarist of my band. So that's what I do." I say amused.
"Should have guessed that." Alice murmurs.
As I clear up the kitchen, Alice wanders around me.
"Can I ask you something?" She asks.
"Alice, you can ask me anything." I say.
"You and your friends.......are you like really close friends?" She asks.
"Yes, we've been friends since high school." I say.
"Please don't mind, but I kinda got scared that day, when you were talking with your friends." She said.
"Scared?" I ask surprised.
"I mean, you were....not the person I see now. You were different, almost changed." She said.
"Alice, you are different from them. They are my friends, you are my girlfriend." I say.
"Can I meet them again?" She asks.
"Why?" I say surprised. Why would she want to deal with them??
"You already met Angie, and I'm sure she must have told you some things about me." Alice says and she's totally right. Angie did say a few things about her.
"I wanna meet your friends too, know about you from them too. That's only if you don't mind." Alice says and I smile a little.
"Why would I mind? You can meet them, but tomorrow. You're not going anywhere now." I said.
"Thanks." She says and hugs me. I hold her tightly against me and inhale her scent.
She pulls away and looks at me with a smile.
"Do you want to go to bed now?" I ask.
"It's only 10 p.m." She says.
"How long can you stay up?" I ask.
"I usually go to bed after 11." She says.
"We'll have to work on that." I murmur.
"I've decided to stay here, but I can't sleep in these clothes." She says.
"You look very beautiful in it." I say.
"Thank you." She says.
"Let's see what we can get you." I say and take her upstairs.
"What do you usually wear at home?" I ask.
"Tank tops and shorts." She says.
"OK." I say and go to my room.
"This is your room?" Alice asks.
"Aha." I say as I open my closet.
"It's really big." She says looking around.
"How about this?" I ask, taking out a v-neck and basketball shorts.
"I'll manage." She says and I give them to her.
"There's the washroom." I said showing her the way.
She goes inside and I sit on my bed. She's here, with me and I'm not letting her go. Ever.

Jimmy's Pov
"Anyone talked with Brian after last night?" I asked the guys.
"No. I hadn't even called him today." Zacky said.
"He hasn't called either." Johnny said.
"Why did you think he's gonna call? He's Brian." Zacky said. He was right. Brian was never gonna call by himself. I have to do it myself.
I take my phone and dial Brian's number. He picks up after three rings.
"Hello." He says. He answers the call without screaming or being snappy.
"Bri, it's me, Jimmy." I say.
"Hey Jimmy. How're you doing?" He asks. Is he OK?
"Yeah I'm good. How are you?" I ask.
"I'm fine. Listen, I want you guys to come to my place tomorrow. For dinner." He says and my mouth drops open. He wants us in his house??
"What?" I ask.
"You four need to come tomorrow. Alice wants to meet you guys." He says.
"Alice?" I ask.
"My girlfriend Alice." Brian says.
"Oh....." Is he changing??
"Cool, we'll be there." I say.
"Is Matt there?" Brian asked.
"No, I haven't seen him today." Boy, where was Matt??
"Anyways, see y'all tomorrow." said Brian.
"Goodnight Bri. Take care." I said.
"Good night." Brian said and hung up.
"Anyone talked with Matt after last night?" I asked the two of them.
"No, he didn't call either." Johnny said.
"I hope he is OK." I whispered.
"How's Brian?" Zacky asked.
"He seemed different." I say.
"Different?" Johnny asked.
"He didn't scream at all. And he wasn't being snappy either." I said.
"I think Alice is a good influence." Johnny said.
"You're right Johnny. Ever since she came into Brian's life, he seemed changed." I said.
"The old Brian's gonna be back soon." Zacky said.
"I hope so." I whisper.
I hope Alice takes of him. She likes Brian, I saw it the other day. But I don't know about Brian. He won't even tell us about her. But tomorrow..........tomorrow I will talk with Alice. No matter what happens.
