A/N: This was originally intended to be a one-shot story. I accidentally removed the story and lost my reviews. No biggy, though. Anyway, here's chapter 2.
I woke up the next morning to find that Cheshire was gone. In his place, was a note and a red rose wrapped in a red ribbon. Smiling, I picked up the rose and took a moment to inhale the sweet scent. I then put the rose on my night stand and unfolded the note.
~Dear Alice,
I'm sorry that I couldn't be here when you woke up. My shift started at six this morning. Much to my dislike, I've also been assigned to work all the way on the other side of the asylum today, so I may not be able to come and check on you. I hope you liked the rose I left you. I love you, and I'll see you tonight.
P.S. Be good. Please don't give the nurses a hard time today; I'm still too tired to use my power of persuasion on them.
Cheshire. ~
I couldn't help but giggle at the two sentences. Nonetheless, I shall do as he asked. After all, the poor guy does deserve a break. I looked at the clock in my room and saw it was nine in the morning. My nurse should be here shortly to give me my medicine. Sure enough, D came in five minutes later with a tray in her hands. I sighed. It was going to be an awfully long day. D always made things so difficult.
"Alice, it is time for your medicine, child." D said.
I sat up and D came over to my bed. She poured the medicine into a spoon, and as nasty as that medicine tasted, I drank it without any protests.
"Oh, my god! I can't believe it! You took it willing! I must say, that this is quite an improvement Alice. There maybe hope for you, after all." D said.
~Yeah, whatever. Don't get used to it. Just do whatever it is you came here to do and get out. I'm in no mood for your annoyance today. ~
D set the tray on my lap and opened it. I ate the food rather quickly even though I was not the least bit hungry, in the hope that when I was done she would finally leave.
"Well, it seems we're done, Alice. See what happens when you don't give us trouble, and try to stall. You get things over and done with." D said.
~Oh, for crying out loud! I don't care to hear your rambling! Just finish your business and get out, already! ~
D took the tray off my lap and put it aside. She then took out a washcloth and a bar of soap.
"Alright, now just let me give you your bath real quick, and then I'll leave you alone." D said.
~Ahhhh!!!!!!!!~
I sighed. There was really nothing I could do. Cheshire has asked to not give my nurse a hard time today. I want to do him that favor, but, D is not making it easy for me. Being pestered by my nurse is not my idea of a pleasant day. I just hope that she remains true to her word, and decides to leave me alone after my bath.
~Alright, let's get this over with. ~
D put me in the tub and began to wash me. I remained perfectly still for fear that if I moved; I might do something that I will most surely regret later on.
Thankfully, after my bath she finally left. Thank god! I can't stand that nurse; all she does is bother everyone. She'll be back to give me my lunch, though. I just pray that that the rest of the day goes by quickly.
