Liam's PoV

They had let Alice leave just as soon as they casted her leg, and gave her some painkillers to take home. I had a feeling tht something was different since Louis went in to talk to her.

When he had returned with a some what Sad, but also determined expression, I knew I was in for something once she followed out the doors.

At last she hobbled out, Maliya and Athena rushing to grab onto her sobbing. Girls, they always over dramatize everything. Okay, maybe not his time since Alice kind of did get hit by an SUV, but it's whatever.

After managing to struggle out of the girls' grips, she wobbled over to me, still getting used to the crutches she was given.

"You and I need to talk as soon as we get back to my house." She didn't give us a long speech on how she was sure she'd die, or that she was terrified; she merely made her way to the door, looking back at us with a 'hurry up' expression.

It wasn't necessarily the Alice I was used to. She seemed so serious and less silly, as if she'd made some grim decision. Then it hit me, the 'talk' was because she was going to break up with me.

By the look on Louis face, it wasnt hard to put two and two together, and see that he had heard the same news, but something else stumped him. I was curious as to what Alice said to him, he always seemed so on top of things.

No matter what kind of a curveball you threw Louis' way, he always kept himself composed, usually throwing back a sassy comment. But Alice seems to change something in him. She seemed to be able to knock Louis off his feet for once, the look on his face when he spoke to her resembled the look on his face when he spoke to his younger sisters.

It wasn't hard to tell that Louis liked her, maybe even loved her. But he always got the girl, this time I wasn't going to let him have her. It was my turn to finally win someone's heart, and I was bound and determined it would be Alice's. I was going to make Alice mine, one way or another.

Alice's PoV

After I was released from the hospital with painkillers for the discomfort in my leg, and the huge headache I had, we went back to Louis' house.

While we were gone, the girls were over with my other neighbor, and elderly couple who looked like a lovely set of grandparents from movies or a magazine. Once we pulled up they made a mad dash for me.

Thankfully, Louis stopped them, and told then to be careful of my leg. They nodded and took turns poking around the cast, and hugging me.

Once we entered Louis' house, I tapped Liam's shoulder, motioning him into the kitchen with me.

"Look Liam, I know you asked me out only a few hours ago, but I don't think this is going to work out . I already told Louis that I'm not going to date either of you until I'm sure I know which one of you I love. I'm confused right now, and I just need some time, alright ?"

He gave me a sad look, and I returned it with a sympathetic one.

"I guess I should've seen this coming, right? I can tell you guys like each other." I felt guilty, because I knew he felt like he was, in some way, used.

"It's not just because of my past with Louis. I felt something when I kissed you, I know I did, but right now that's just adding to my confusion." He nodded his head sullenly, giving me the impression that he didnt really like that answer.

We joined the rest of the group just as Maliya, Athena, Niall, Harry, and Eleanor announced that they were going home. After they left, Zayn looked up at the two boys who were having an unspoken conversation with their eyes.

"Well as much as I love being a Fourth wheel, I think I'm going to leave now."

I nodded at him as the boys kept eye contact.

"So, who's up for helping me home?" Both boys snapped their heads to me, shouting 'I will', and 'me' at the same time. The uncomfortable eye contact resumed and then both boy stood.

"I'll help you Alice, you only live right next door. Liam, shouldn't you be heading home?" Louis gave Liam a sarcastic smile, and even a stupid person could tell that he really just didn't want the sandy-haired boys presence here anymore.

Liam's eyes flashed, but he stalked over, grabbed his jacket an keys, leaving non too happily.

"Now that we're.... Alone," Louis emphasized 'alone', as he waggled his eyebrows.

Rolling my eyes, I stood, gesturing towards the door. Louis smirked, opening It for me, and walking me to my door.

"Daisy, Phoebe, Lottie, Fizz! C'mon, we're heading home now!" Louis called up the stairs, helping me awkwardly over the threshold, and onto the couch.

The girls ran down the stairs and over to Louis' house as he stood, hands in pocket at the end of the couch.

"If you ever need help with anything, cooking, cleaning, dressing, showering," an eye-roll made him chuckle mid-sentence.

"Go home, Lou." He winked, and left my house.

Just then my phone buzzed, and I pulled it out to see it was from Liam.

Liam:

Text me of you ever need anything. A cook, a maid, a cuddle-buddy, boyfriend, etc. ;) Xx

Somehow I latched on to a thought that floated through my head as I remembered both boys reaction to my proposal, and their actions afterward.

Now, the boys were on some insane mission to get the prize before the other.

And I was that prize.
