Alice's P.O.V

When I woke up the next morning I was still mad. Mad at Kit. Mad at myself. Mad at us. It didn't have to escalate like that but I knew I needed to get away from Kit, I needed to sort my head out. I was still clutching the edge of the bed I hadn't moved all night apparently. When I turned around I saw Kit lying with his arm outstretched towards me. He was still sleeping. His eyes were still still red and puffy from last night. I quietly got up and got changed into a beach outfit for a relaxing day today. Kailyn had text me asking what had happened last night, she obviously must have known Kit was going to say something. I asked her to organize another room for me to stay in tonight but to put it under her name. If the press found out I had moved rooms they would start stories, that's the last thing I needed. I started to pack my stuff back up and then went to the piano by the window and started to play.

Kits P.O.V

When I woke up Alli was playing the piano again, it was a very sad tune. Suddenly the memories from last night hit me. I sat up but Alli didn't flinch I knew that she realized I was up because tears started to fall down her cheeks. I looked around the room quickly and saw her suitcases and bags ready to go, this can't be happening. I stood up, made the bed and walked towards Alli, I heard her let out a small sniff. I put my hands on her shoulders and gently massaged her soft skin. She stopped playing.

"Can we talk" I managed to choke out.

"Is there much more to say?" She asked.

"We can't leave it like this" I told her.

"Kit, I love you, more than anything, you know that. But I can't be with someone who doesn't love me for who I am. I know you didn't think i was acting right on stage but that's just what music does to me. If you can understand that we dont have a problem here. But I don't think you do." She said standing up and facing me, her eyes were glazed with tears.

I bit my lip to stop myself crying but the tears started to fall anyway. I looked out the window. I couldn't lose her but I didn't understand why she performed the way she did.

"Its okay" she said turning my head with her hand, stroking my cheek.

"I can't lose you" I managed to say, resting my forehead against hers.

"I know, but its for the best"

"I love you Alli"

"I love you more"

"I love you most" I told her and stole a kiss from her. She reciprocated and pulled me in closer, after a sweet loving kiss. She pulled away.

"I've gotba room for tonight, you can stay here"

"No Alli I'll leave for another room"

"No its fine besides, you need the practice" she said pointing towards the piano.

"Goodbye KitKat" she whimpered and with that she left the room and my life for the next 3 years.
