Go follow my babes new account, @omgitsalicez!

Wedgeman Simon @mininter7:
Alice got a new account! Had to deactivate the old one!!! @omgitsalicez

According to Alice's inside sources, (the Sidemen) her old Twitter was 'r.i.p.' She was not even able to log on. Apparently the mentions were over one million, and people had hacked the account somehow. In the end, she wasn't mad. She'd wanted to change her name up.

"Alice, may I borrow you?" Josh knocked on Vik's open door. Vik was recording a gameplay video with Simon.

"Sure." Alice whispered back, standing up.

Josh pulled her into his own room and shut the door behind her. "Alice. It's Vik's birthday tomorrow."

"It's already August?" Alice's face changed. She'd missed that much of the year?

"Yep. August 1st to be exact." Josh informed her.

"What am I going to get him? I've had absolutely no time to plan for anything!"

"Well, he's not expecting much from you. That I know."

"What do you mean?"

"He understands that you just woke up from a coma, and that you aren't anywhere near ready for his birthday."

"Ugh, well. I still need to make it one of the best birthdays he's ever had." Alice sighed, falling onto Josh's bed. She rubbed her hands over her face.

"What are we going to do?" Josh asked, sitting down in his chair.

"Joshua how the hell am I supposed to know?" Alice sat up.

"I can't think of anything."

"Just-don't worry about it. I'll figure it out later. Right now, I have bigger things to take care of." She really didn't, she just didn't want to think about Vik's birthday anymore.

"Oh, like what. You just woke up from a coma and you already have bigger things to think about?" Josh asked, scoffing.

"Yeah. I do," Alice stood up, walking over to the door, "and they don't involve you."

"Ouch, burn." She heard Josh say before she shut the door.

She walked back over to Vik's room, opening the door to find him finished with his recording.

"Hi babe." Alice smiled

"Hey, Alice." Vik returned the smile, standing up out of his chair.

"Wanna cuddle?" She asked.

"Sure. It's been forever since I've cuddled with you. I miss it." He pouted as he walked over to her.

"Didn't know I was that special. You could have cuddled with Simon or Josh?"

"Haha, no. I was saving all my cuddles for the day you woke up, and now it's finally here. I love you."

"I love you too." Alice grabbed Vik's hand and pulled him closer. She ran her other hand down his chest, fiddling with the hem of his shirt as if telling him to remove it without words.

"Oh, right." Vik removed his shirt in one arm movement, messing up his hair as he did so.

"Vik!" Alice giggled, fixing his hair with her free hand.

"Sorry, didn't mean to mess up my hair." He placed his hands on Alice's hips. "Take this off."

"Okay, anything for you Vik." Alice followed the orders given to her, and she removed her top.

"Damn, it's been a while since I've seen your perfect body." He kissed her cheek.

"Same to you, babe." She returned the favor.

"C'mon then. Let's cuddle." Vik put air quotes around his last sentence.

Alice giggled, kissing his neck as he pushed her onto the bed. He hovered over her, using his arms as supports as he kissed her nose. She snaked her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He grinned as she planted her lips onto his.

Alice and Vik 'cuddled' for over an hour, eventually, they both fell asleep.

"Alice! Vik!" Simon called from outside the door, waking them both up.

"What?" Vik asked as he rolled over onto his back.

"Dinner!"

"Fuck..." Alice moaned, uncovering herself.

"Babe, come back!" Vik pleaded.

"No, I'm hungry." Alice found Vik's sweatshirt and a pair of his sweatpants and threw them on.

"You look nice in my clothes."

"Thanks." Alice responded, "Get out of bed. I'll see you downstairs."

"Okay. I love you."

"Yeah, I love you too."

Alice opened the door, stepping out of Vik's dark room for the first time in hours. She waited for her eyes to adjust.

"Morning?" Simon questioned, giggling as she put her hand in front of her eyes.

"Nah, I've been up for hours."

"Doing bad things with Vik, I suppose?" Simon giggled, "We heard the whole thing."

Alice blushed, "So much for my dignity... Did Josh?"

"Did Josh what? Did he hear you guys?" Simon asked, Alice nodded, "No, lucky for you he went out with Freya."

"Thank god. He would have killed both Vik and I."

"Don't worry, I won't tell him." Simon smiled. "C'mon, foods downstairs. It's Nandos."

"Hell yeah!" Alice cheered, sprinting down the steps in front of Simon.

"Jesus, someone's hungry."

"I just slept for several months! Of COURSE I'm hungry!" Alice smiled.

"Alice!!!" Ethan called as he saw her from the kitchen doorway.

"Ethan!" They'd been greeting each other like this for a while. It was like their thing now.

"How's it going, bae?" He asked, putting an arm around her.

"Life's great." Alice smiled up at him. She hadn't grown while she was asleep.

"That's great." Ethan smiled back at her.

"It's always great when things are great!"

"What is this, see how many times you can say great day?" Simon laughed as he sat down at the island.

"Nope! I just really love the word great!" Alice couldn't stop smiling. She was happy to be alive again.

Alice caught up with the Sidemen for the rest of the night. They told her story's about what had happened whilst she was asleep, and how much they'd missed her. Ethan and Harry told her about how much all of the fans wanted her to make a YouTube account, and how they'd reserved the URL for her already. Alice wasn't sure about the idea at first, but then she figured why not? It'd be fun.

Alice was happy to be happy again.
