Oz looked at Alice "You called him while you were in the bathroom didn't you? You little bitch!"

Xerxes gave Oz a look that seemed as if he were about to kill him as he picked him up by the collar of his shirt. "You don't say such things to Alice especially around me. I will hurt you."

Oz tilted his head "I don't see you hurting me now. You probably won't do anything anyways."

Xerxes laughed at Oz's comment "Big mistake." He smiled and punched Oz in the face so hard he had a black eye. Xerxes then let Oz down. "Leave…Now."

Oz looked scared and ran out of Alice's house. Alice looked at Xerxes shockingly. "You helped me out again…Thank you, You don't know how much it means to me."

Xerxes hugged Alice "I told you Alice, I care about your safety and if he had hurt you again. I would make his life like a living hell."

Alice tightened her grip around Xerxes "Could you ask your parents if I could stay at your house? Please, only tonight I promise I won't be much of a bother and my parents aren't supposed to be back until late tonight, and after all that's happened today you can probably see why I would want to, its fine if you say no though"

Xerxes smiled and pulled out his cell phone dialing his mom's number. "Hey mom one of my friends, her parents are out of town for the night and she's scared to stay at her house by herself could she stay at our house? Just for tonight." He waited for the reply, nodded and hung up his phone. "Alice you should pack."

Alice smiled brightly "Okay, I'll be right back, you can come in my room if you'd want it'll only take a minute for me to pack."

Xerxes shrugged "It'll be fine Alice I don't need to watch you pack."

"Oh, Alright, I'll only be gone a few minutes" it'd took Alice twenty just to pick out the pajamas that she was going to wear, But she decided on the matching Cheshire cat tank-top and pants, she then grabbed an outfit for tomorrow, since it was already Friday she didn't need to worry about bringing her school stuff. "I'm ready!" She finally said after a half hour had passed.

"Just a minute 'eh? It seemed a bit longer than that." He smiled at her.

"Oh shut up…"

Xerxes smiled at Alice again than pointed at her bag "I'll carry that if you'd like."

Alice nodded and handed Xerxes the bag "Thank you."

"You're welcome" Xerxes said leading the way to his house. It took about ten minutes to walk there but then they appeared in front of a big mansion like house. "Here we are." And Xerxes opened the front door. "Mom I'm back!"

Alice looked around the house shockingly, it was huge.

"Xerxes" His mother called "Let me meet this girl."

"Ah yes, Mom this is Alice, Alice this is my mother."

Alice shook hands with Xerxes's mom "Pleasure to meet you Mrs…? Uh I'm sorry I don't know your last name."

"Break" His mother said.

"What a unique last name, it's nice. Well then pleasure to meet you Mrs. Break."

"Oh I can say the same for you Miss. Alice, You seem like a really sweet girl."

"Okay ladies enough chit-chat." Xerxes had butted in. "I'll show Alice to her room."

"Xerxes is quite the gentleman isn't he?" Alice sais and smiled as Xerxes led her to her room.

"Here we are." He said showing her a huge bedroom with a TV and everything . Alice looked at Xerxes then back to the room "Its huge! I don't need a room this big I'm a small person."

"It's alright Alice, Every room in this house is at least this size, Even though there's only four people that normally live here…Yet there's still only going to be four people here tonight." He smiled when he said that.

"Four people tonight? You have a sibling?"

"Yes a little sister she's eleven but she's thankfully at her friend's house tonight, If you ever come over again she'll probably be here."

Alice smiled "You have a nice family Xerxes, Wish mine was like that."

He looked at her "Yours isn't like this? What's going on with your family?"

Alice sat on the bed "My parents, They're getting divorced soon they were at some meeting thing or whatever today…They've been fighting a lot and pretty soon I'm going to have to decide on who I want to live with."

Xerxes sat next to Alice and grabbed her hand. "That's horrible, You know if you ever want to get away from them, You can always come here, I'm sure my family wouldn't mind, They love having guest's."

Alice smiled at Xerxes "Thanks I'll keep that in mind."

Xerxes's mother called out from the kitchen "Dinner!"

Xerxes called back "We'll be right down!"

As Alice and Xerxes walked down to the kitchen table Alice could smell the delicious scents that were coming from it. "It smell's delicious, What is it?"

"It's steak, Have you ever had steak before Alice?" Xerxes had asked.

"No my family doesn't really buy expensive food's like steak and such they tell me 'it cost too much Alice' What does this kind of food taste like? Hopefully as good as it smells!"

Xerxes smiled putting his fork into Alice's mouth "You tell me."

Alice's eyes widened with delight as she swallowed the piece of meat. "This taste's amazing!"

Xerxes nodded eating his own piece of steak slowly, Alice on the other hand was eating quite fast and was almost finished with her first piece. Xerxes's mother looked at Alice's plate

"Would you like another piece?" She asked Alice.

Alice nodded her head in delight "Please, But a small piece."

Xerxes's mother took Alice's plate and got her another piece of steak and gave it to her. "There you go."

"Thank you." Alice said eating this piece of meat quickly as well. "Thank you, For the meal it tasted really good. I really appreciate it." Alice stood up put her dishes in the sink then walked up to her temporary room to change into her pajamas.

Xerxes's father looked up at Xerxes "Nice one you got their son."

Xerxes smiled and blushed a bit "She's just a friend she probably doesn't even like me in that way."

"One will never know unless they ask." Xerxes's father said

Xerxes blushed again turning a bit more red. "No I could never what is she rejects me?"

"I don't think she would." Alice has said not knowing who they were talking about.

Xerxes laughed when he saw Alice "Cute pajamas." He smiled at her. "They seem to suit you."

Alice glared "What's that supposed to mean?" Her hands on her hips.

"Nothing bad I assure you, It's just you seem like the type of girl that would wear that, it compliments your eyes."

Alice blushed and thought to herself "Where's all these compliments coming from? Blushing a bit deeper "Thank you Xerxes." She said aloud.

Xerxes smiled knowing Alice was a bit embarrassed.

"Hey Xerxes, By any chance do you have some video games or something to play?"

"Well I have an Xbox360 in my bedroom but all the games I have are fighting games."

Alice smiled brightly "That's fine. Do you have Call Of Duty? I used to play that game with my cousin."

Xerxes nodded smiling "Yes I do, I'll show you to my room."
