Authors note: I'm sorry for the lateness and the crappiness of the last chapter! I swear I didn't do it on purpose! I was at the mall, and I'm starting an InuYasha fanfic (I know, I should make one and finish it for once but whatever). Anyways, I hope this chapter makes up for it!
Peace in!

A Hatter in Otherland
Chapter 10: The reason I wouldn't say that
I looked at Tarrant with pleading eyes. In Underland, I was always compared to Alice. But here, I was always beaten down, but at least I knew how things worked here. Hatter didn't know how things worked here though. "Are you sure you want to-" I got interrupted by my grandmother who slipped into the room and gawked at how close we just happened to be.
"Melicia, I brought the Advil." She said as she passed me 2 small pills and a cup of water. "Thanks." I said as I swallowed them. Hatter's eyes were a pale yellow and were wide like a child who just discovered candy. "Tarrant, you might want to leave Melicia alone until she feels better. We wouldn't want you feeling sick." Grams said as she shooed him out of the room. Hatter tried to protest but he lost and was forced to leave.
"How are you feeling?" She asked as she sat at the very edge of the bed. "Horrible. But that's not important right now." I said as I looked at my drawings of Hatter's hat. I needed to be able to fix it.
"Melicia Frooman! If you feeling sick isn't important, then please enlighten me and tell me what is!" She shouted as she jumped up from the bed so she could give me a proper glare. I sighed and looked her in the eyes. "You know hat song by Green Day called 'last night on earth'?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I knew she knew the song. It was one of my favorites. "Yes. You went through a stage were you only listened to that song for 3 weeks a few months ago, how could I not remember?" I sighed at that memory. "Well, my situation is a lot like that song."
She paused like she was thinking before glarring at me. "My beating heart belongs to you/ I walked for miles til i found you/ I'm here to honor you/ If i lose everything in the fire/ I'm sending all my love to you/ With every breath that i am worth/ Here on earth/I'm sending all my love to you. That doesn't sound like your situation." I didn't know she knew the lyrics to the song by heart. How many times did I listen to it anyway? "The song is about leaving behing your needs and going into a stage were love means more then anything else. It's completely like my situation." I tried to explain but she just shook her head.
"What you're attempting to tell me as that it doesn't matter that your sick because Tarrant is sad?" She asked in a slightly worried tone and I nodded. She sighed and waved her hand in the air. "I shall do what I can to vring Tarrant back up to par so that I can go back to making you feel better." She says as she slips out of the room.
I attempt tp hide under all the blankets and pillows a d grab my sketchpad and a couple pencils from my desk before sitting up so I can draw.
When I was finished, I gasped at the thick lined drawing and gasped.
Zen was talking to a girl that looked too much like Alice. Alice had a fake smile plastered on her perfect lips and Zen was smiling like any normal idiot.
I crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it across the room. I didn't want to have to deal with anything like that while I'm sick. I put my sketchbook beside me and sighed. I was bored to tears already.
Tears. I hadn't cried in awhile actually. Knowing that made me feel slightly odd. I remember when I went down to Underland and all I did there was runaway and cry. What had happened? Maybe Underland made it so you were more intact with your emotions or maybe I'm just overthinking this and I was crying because I cried a lot when I was here before I came back up. I'm definetly overthinking it.
"Hey. Mel, you ok?" I heard Echo call and I try to surpess a sigh. "Yeah. You can come in." I say and he opens the door with a huge smile plastered on his face. I was slightly worried about what he was smiling about. "I've got a date!" He said in a sing-song voice that made it hard not to giggle and smile with him.
"Oh really? Who is it this time?" I say and smile with him. He sits down on the bed and crosses his legs like he does every single time he's eother going to gossip or gush. "Edge, again, but he explained why he was in such a bad mood last time so everything is ok." My heart dropped. I didn't like Edge. Not even 1 ounce of the time. Plus, I had reason to hate him. "That's…That's great!" I said with obivously less enthousiasm but Echo didn't notice. He just went on and on about what they were going to do and everything good about Edge.
I was beginning to get bored when I pulled out my ipod shuffle (not everyone in the world can save up enough money for an iphone you know) and placed the buds in my ears. I started listening to Green day while Echo went on and on about something stupid like how hot Edge is when he noticed I was paying attention. "Mel! Am I really that boring?" He asked as he ripped the buds out of my ears leaving me singing the words to the song "blood, sex and Booze" in my head. "It's not that you're boring, it's that you're just going on and on about Edge and I don't find it intresting." I explained as I placed the earphones back in my ears.
Echo got the message that I was sick and not in the mood to talk to him and slipped out of the room. I smiled at my accomplishment befre scolding myself for thinking that kicking my little brother was a good thing before falling to sleep with the music on.
I was falling asleep to the song "last ngiht on earth".
Authors note: I hope you liked it! Anyways Green day's songs "last night on earth" and "blood, sex and booze" Are amaginly awesome songs, and I recommend you to youtube them. Anyways, hope you likes this chapter, REVIEW!
