Dear Alice,

Oh Alice. What could you be doing up there? I think I have lost track of time. I know it hasn't been too long in Aboveland, but you know how time passes here. Are you doing this to me on purpose? Testing me? Alice I will always wait for you! Please come back to me! I have decided to start a few bad habits in my waiting for you. Some things I have heard about that people do in Aboveland. Drinking. I had the white rabbit fetch me some whiskey, and plenty of it. Of course I had to lie to him to get it, but after some convincing I got what I wanted. I no longer join March Hare or Mallymkun for tea. In fact I usually don't leave my room. I stay in my corner obsessing over your absence. Crying. Drinking down my whiskey little by little. Tea no longer tastes good alone. I add the alcohol to assist the dull flavor. When I drink I think of you. Well I always think of you, but I get angry with you. I parade around my house. Smashing and thrashing. My house is a mess. Torn to pieces. I begin to hate you. Why? Why are you leaving me here alone. Alice, I am falling apart without you. I was mad before you left, but now I am simply falling down a hole of emptiness. I have nothing. I need you Alice. Come back to me before I'm gone. I figure I have enough whiskey to last me throughout the next few months. Lets hope you return before I run out; for I am afraid I will not be able to convince the white rabbit to bring me more.

Whiskey and Tears,

Tarrant Hightopp


Ok two chapters in one day. I'm gonna try to make this story a bit more speedy cuz the chapters are so short, but please be patient with me. I am trying. So ok we have some angst in this. With the name of this story being "Dear Alice" you gotta know that there will be quite a few letters before or IF Alice comes back. I am still undecided. I hope that you are seeing the change in the way Hatter is writing her. It will get worse. :( So I am estimating at least 5 more letters before the ending. possibly more chapters tho. I may through in a little Alice POV and maybe other characters. So i hope you enjoyed. Maybe I'll get another two chapters up before i go to bed tonight. but until then, love ya(: oh and reviews! please :D thanks so much guys!
