A/N: So I really just realized how fucked up my chapters were. I added them together and shit on my computer but I didn't on the site oops!

Where Do We Go From Here?

My eyes opened to a dark room; my room to be exact. I sat up and rubbed my head. There was a little mumbling and I looked over there was Johnny, fast asleep. He was in a cold sweat. His black hair had fallen into his face. I smiled and tucked it behind his ear, the portion of hair was long enough to tuck behind his ear that is. I wiped the sweat away from his forehead. I looked at him for a moment; my childhood friend, just about the only person who tolerated me, or even tried to care about me. I put my hand lightly on his and he shot bolt right up. He looked around.

"Where am I? And why do I have the strangest sensation to the sing the vowels to a sitar?"

"Johnny! Hey, we're back inside my room."

"We are?"

"Yea, I suggest you stay here for the night. After all it's," I looked over at my clock on the floor. "3:39 AM." He smiled and hugged me.

"That Jabberwocky moves fast."

"Yea. The way I figure it he steals time from everything he bites. So the more time he steals the faster he moves."

"Ok, well why would he want to move that fast?"

"That is a question for the Cheshire Cat."

"So . . . we're going back tomorrow."

"Correction I'm going back tomorrow. You saw the way the Jabberwocky moved. We don't know what will happen if it bites one of us. I can't afford it biting you." Johnny didn't say anything he just looked down at his feet. Thinking it would be right and freak him out a little. I lightly pressed my lips against his cheek. He looked up a little shocked and well . . . I couldn't really tell what the other emotion was. He looked at me deep like he was studying every inch of my face.

"Wha-" He kissed me. Now I don't mean you know a friends kiss, or kissing your mother to sleep, or even kissing your cat! He was kissing me, full on, all Gone with the Wind, lips locked and other things that I will not mention for Johnny's sake! When we broke away I looked at him. "Why did you do that?"

"Because I knew you'd let me." He kissed me again and his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. He pulled me closer to him. I moved my head back a little and looked at him. It was hard finding my voice to protest.

"Johnny . . . we can't . . . my mother." He kissed me again hoping to stifle my attempts to quit while we were ahead. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

'What are you doing? This is Johnny! Your best friend, REMEMBER?' Have you ever had those times when you just want to tell that little voice in your head to bugger off? Well this was one of those times. I moved myself so I was straddling his lap. His hands slid from my hips to my back pockets. I ran my fingers through the back of his hair.

He broke away and focused his lips on my neck. I lightly pushed on the back of his head; a signal not to stop. He moved us against the wall and kept kissing me. I pulled him away by the hair and stared at him. We sat there for a few moments. It didn't take long until we were back on each other once more.

' Alice news flash if you can't feel that then well you've got some issues!' I kept kissing him still ignoring the little voice.

'How bloody blunt do I have to be! He's RANDY for God's sake!' I stopped and looked at him. He looked back at me lustfully and pulled me back into his lap and kissed my neck once more.

My eyes where closed. All I could see was Johnny and my childhood flashing before my eyes. I opened my eyes and looked at him. I knew by the look he gave me that he had seen it too. A tear slid down my cheek and Johnny kissed it away.

"Don't cry Alice." I then turned my back to Johnny. I was facing the wall. I didn't want him to see my cry. I didn't even know why I was crying. All I knew was that it was coming out, and if felt good. His arms wrapped around my shoulders, and I turned to face him. He kissed the top of my head; I buried my head into his neck and cried softly. After a while I fell asleep in his arms. Still chest to chest he wrapped his arms around my waist. Johnny stayed up a little longer; thinking things through before falling asleep.

I awoke the next morning. The scent of Johnny was filling every breath I took. I knew he was still asleep by the way he was just laying there like a limp noodle. I got up a silently as I could as to not wake Johnny. I picked up my clock, 11:43 AM. I dropped it, AGAIN! Who is up that early? Time no longer mattered to me, as long as I was able to live my life here and in Wonderland. I was happy. Figuring that Johnny wouldn't be awake for another hour or so I went into the bathroom and showered.

I walked out of the bathroom; hair damp and a towel draped around my body. I walked into my room eyes closed deep in thought. I went over to my dresser and pulled out what I thought were clean clothes. I dropped my towel and began getting dressed.

"Damn Alice!" I span around clutching my shirt to my chest.

"JOHNNY! You're supposed to be asleep!"

"I was . . . until I woke up about ten minuets ago. Oh and by the way nice ass." He said smirking at me. I squinted and pursed my lips. Then finally letting it go I turned back around and finished getting dressed. I sat down on the bed next to Johnny. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek.

"Listen about last night-"

"No worries Alice. I swear no one'll ever find out about you crying. I promise." I smiled, and rested my head on his shoulder. Being the person that I am and loving to ruin the moment. I blew a raspberry on Johnny's neck. He fell over with laughter and I sat there smiling very proud of myself.

"So . . . umm . . . are we like . . . dating now?" I looked at him timidly. Neither of us were good with rejection.

"I guess so." I nodded. Johnny had always been there when my heart had been broken. So now I wasn't all that sure how this was going to work out. Johnny obviously knew what I was thinking and hugged me.

"I promise as long as I live Alice; I will never break your heart." He whispered into my ear. I smiled and leaned back into the hug. It was warm and I felt safe. I liked that feeling. My smile faded as I remembered all the other times I'd heard that sentence.

"I've heard that so many times, and all it is now is broken promises."

"No more broken promises Alice. I promise." I nodded. He lifted my chin and lightly kissed me. He held me in his arms, for what seemed like the longest time. Other boyfriends had held me like this before, but this was different. Johnny was different; he was so sweet and now that I think about it I really love him. I know that everyone says that they "love" their boyfriends, but I was really in love. I could only pray that he loved me back.

"So," I said looking back up at him, "breakfast?" He smiled and nodded. We walked out of my room and into the kitchen. There was my mother with an absolute look of horror on her face. Johnny's arm was snaked around my waist and his hand was causally placed in my front pocket.

"ALICE MARIA WILMINGSTON! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON HERE?" My mother's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head.

"What does it look like?" I said coolly looking at my mother like nothing was wrong.

"Johnathan did you go home last night?"

"Nope stayed here last night moms." My mother hated that beyond all reason. Johnny left my side and went over to the food cabinets and looked at me. "Got any biscuits?"

"Yea they're chocolate chip!"

"Oooh!" I smiled and got myself a cup of coffee. As Johnny helped himself to the food in the cabinets; I smirked at my mother. If I hadn't known any better I would have thought that her head was going to spin around in circles and pour out steam from every orifice.

"Ok Johnny, we need to take care of that thing right about now."

"Oh right the thing."

"Now see here Alice." I ignored her and brought Johnny back to my room. I closed and locked the door. Johnny wrapped his arms around my waist and I put random pills in my mouth. He kissed the side of my neck and I smiled as we slowly drifted off to Wonderland.
