Chapter 5// Losing Sleep

(A/N) As of late this chapter has been getting a lot of hate and such, so please understand that I am a human and I have feelings. I know this moves a little to fast and it makes many people angry but please, if you have nothing nice to say do not say it:)

At the end of the day I love you all so much for giving me the support you do when you do it, but I'm just tired of reading all the mean comments. Thank you, and have a fantastic day.

Alice tossed and turned, not able to become comfortable in her new bed. Of course, she'd slept in it only hours before, but now it felt different. It almost felt like she was in a different place than she was before.

"Alice, may I come in?" The voice belonged to Vik.

"Sure." Alice responded, sitting up in her bed. She figured since she couldn't sleep, she might as well get to know Vik.

The Indian/British teen entered. He wasn't any older than Alice, but he was considerably short for nineteen. Alice was twenty, and she was still shorter than him. Maybe by two or three inches.

Alice wrapped her arms around her covered legs as he sat down across from her, pulling his own legs onto the bed. She noticed a pattern through out all of the boys, they all wore the same shirts, just in different colors or designs. Must have been a group thing.

"Hey." Vik interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey, Vik? Is that right?" She asked, even though she already knew the answer was yes.

He nodded before continuing, "Do you know what's wrong with Simon?" He furrowed his eyebrows at her.

"No, why?" She asked, curious to know if he knew anything about what happened between Simon and her in the car.

"Ever since he came home with you, he's been acting strange... The boys and I wanted to know if he said anything to you?" Vik didn't unfurrow his eyebrows until he realized Alice's expression had gone blank.

"No-no he didn't..." Alice finally mumbled.

"Oh, I didn't know if-"

"Excuse me, I need to go talk to Simon..." Alice cut him off, jumping out of bed and running down the hall to Simon's room.

"Alice?" She heard Vik question from down the hall.

Alice knocked, hoping Simon would answer, but he didn't. She opened the door quietly, noticing all of his lights were out.

"Alice? Is that you?" A figure sniffed from the bed. Simon was crying.

"Yes, Simon, it's me." She answered, walking over to the bed.

"What do you want?" His attitude changed. He suddenly sounded angry. Alice was taken back, wasn't he just crying? Why was he angry?

"What wrong Simon?" She asked, tears welling in her own eyes.

"I don't want to talk to you." Simon pointed at the door, "Get. Out."

Alice was crushed, even more than she had been before. Tears slipped out of her eyes as she turned around. Simon had just broken her heart, again.

She rushed out of Simons room, slowly shutting the door behind her as she arrived back into her own room. She slid her back down against the door, crying.

"Alice?" After all the commotion, she'd forgotten Vik was still in her room.

"Vik..." She tried to wipe the tears from her wet cheeks.
