Alec had been sitting at the bus stop, waiting for the bus of losers to pick him up. It was taking longer than usual, and he was beginning to get impatient. Finally, the bus arrived. Alec got up and boarded the bus. He sat up near the front, something Marcus didn't expect from him.

"Hey, Alec?" Marcus muttered, quietly.
"Hm? Do you need something?" Alec asked, confused.
"I think I should let you know, you have to share a room at the Losers Motel. Don't ask me why, Kristal didn't give any explanation." Marcus explained.
"What?" Alec scoffed, clearly annoyed. Sharing a room at the Losers Motel wasn't in his contract. "Whatever." He replied.
"Sorry, Alec. If I knew why, I'd tell you. I just didn't want it to be a shock when you got there." Marcus stated.
"No, I get it. It isn't your fault." Alec replied, still a bit upset he wasn't given any mention of this sooner. Alec stayed quiet the rest of the ride, gathering his thoughts about the sudden need to share his room. The bus stopped at the Losers Motel, and Alec got up.
"Thanks for telling me, Marcus." Alec muttered. Marcus simply nodded. Alec got off the bus and walked into the building.
"Oh! Hey Alec." Oliver exclaimed. "Here. Take this. It's your room key. You have to share a room-"
"I know." Alec cut him off. He grabbed the key and walked off, uninterested in any other conversation. Alec walked up to the door and sighed. He unlocked the door, and opened it. To his surprise he didn't see anyone else upon first glance. But he saw somebody in the bed, under the covers. Alec didn't give the identity of his roommate much thought. He just sat down on one of the chairs in the room and began reading a book that was sitting on one of the shelves. A few chapters in his roommate woke up.
"Huh?..." She said confused. "ALEC!? WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM!" She screamed. Alec recognized that voice immediately. Fiore.
"Shhhh! Calm down. We have to share a room. Were you not told?" Alec asked.
"No. I wasn't. God dammit!" She yelled. She quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She slammed the door fairly hard and Alec flinched. He was a bit confused as to why she was so upset, but he understood waking up to someone in your room when you don't expect it could be quite frightening. He shrugged and continued reading the book he picked up. Despite him not having much interest in it, it was bound to pass the time.

Thirty minutes passed. Alec didn't realize it had been so long. Fiore was still in the bathroom. Eventually, he heard the door open and Fiore walked out and got into bed almost instantly. In the brief moment Alec saw her, she looked tired. Really tired. It worried him. Alec sighed and got up. He sat on the bed next to her. They had to share a bed as well.
"What do you want." Fiore asked. Alec noticed her voice seemed a bit different, in a way.
"Are you alright?" Alec asked her.
"Why do you care! Go away!" She yelled. She covered her head with the blanket. Alec didn't know what he was expecting, especially with Fiore. They had been good with each other since the comeback challenge, but she still seemed to not trust him. Or at least not wanting to talk. He sighed and got up, then walked to the bathroom. Fiore shot up as she heard the bathroom door shut. She covered her head with the blanket once again.
