Chapter 46// Alice and Simon

Vikkstar123 @vikkstar123:
No videos today guys, dealing with a broken heart.

Alice read the tweet, holding back p
tears. She'd broken his heart. But this time, she wasn't going back.

"Ali? Are you awake?" Simon asked from behind her. She'd slept with him last night, not wanting to be alone.

"I'm awake." Alice put on a smile and turned to Simon.

"Morning, sweetheart."

Alice just smiled, rubbing the back of her neck.

"What? Are you o-"

"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm gonna go downstairs." Alice stood off the bed, grabbing Vik's sweatshirt and throwing it on. It was the last piece of her sanity, and she wasn't going to let it go.

She walked over to the door and slowly descended the steps. She didn't know if all the boys were awake or not, and she didn't plan on waking anyone up anytime soon.

But apparently, everyone was awake. The halls upstairs and down were buzzing with people she'd met here and there, why was everyone here? Did Josh invite them?

"Josh?" Alice knocked on his door, hoping for a reply.

"Yes, Alice?" He asked from the stairs.

"Oh, hi. Why are there so many people here?" Alice caught Vik's door opening out of the corner of her eye.

"Because, they're shipping clothing for us."

"Oh." Alice couldn't help it, she looked over at Vik, catching his eyes.

He looked so broken, she'd never seen him like that before. Alice desperately wanted to run over and hug him, but she couldn't. She couldn't go against Simon.

She let tears form in her eyes before she looked away. Josh looked between the two of them, sighing before going back downstairs.

"Alice." Vik whispered, looking at the ground.

"You broke my heart."

"How? How did I break your heart?" He cried.

"You said you didn't want to marry me, said you didn't even like me!" Alice looked over at him, eyes filled with fury.

"I was talking about Jess and Mitch yesterday! I was talking to Jerome..."

"I wish I could believe you, I really wish I could, Vik. I just-I can't." Alice sniffed, running her hand under her eyes.

"Please believe me, Alice! What have I ever said that would make you not believe me?" Vik pleaded.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't-you won't... It's Simon, isn't it? You've gone back to Simon." He placed a hand on his forehead, grabbing the railing with his other hand.

"No, Vik-"

"Don't lie to me. You've gone back to him. I have no chance."

"Vik I just need some time, okay!"

"I never meant to hurt you, I love you, Alice."

"I love you too, and I don't want to lose you, but right now, I can't do this. Give me some time to think."

"You have all the time in the world, just as long as I get my baby girl back."

"Agreed. I wouldn't let anything come between us, just give me a break." Alice sighed. She was content.

Little did Vik know, she believed him.

The next day Simon and Alice went to dinner. They talked and enjoyed their night, never mentioning Vik or even thinking about him. Alice had...

Moved on?

No, she couldn't have. She'd promised Vik that she'd just needed a break. He must have been so upset when Simon told the group that he was taking Alice out.

She shook the thought of moving on. Tonight, she was just having fun.

Alice Zerker 2.0 @omgitsalicez:
Having fun with Mr. @miniminter7 tonight!

Wedgeman Simon @miniminter7:
@omgitsalicez Love you xx

Alice sighed as she read the tweet. This was not what she'd planned. She hadn't planned to fall for Simon tonight, but it was happening. Alice was falling.

"Simon?" Alice broke the silence, placing her phone into her lap. They were sitting on a park bench, enjoying the London sunset.

"Yes, love?"

"I-I can't do this."

"What's 'this', Alice?"

"I can't pretend I love you."

Simon was silent, Alice could tell she'd broken his heart.

"I mean, I love you, but dating you would be like dating Josh..."

"No, I understand..." Simon looked away. She couldn't let him be sad, so she did the unthinkable.

Alice kissed Simon. She kissed his lips, causing him to jump. He kissed back. That was it for Alice, she knew she was over Vik. She knew it was over.

"Alice..." Simon said after they broke the kiss.

"Simon, oh my god." Alice gasped, trying to understand what she'd just done.

"Alice." Simon kissed her again.

"Simon! Enough!" She pushed him away, feeling tears form in her eyes.

She didn't want to believe she'd moved on from Vik, she didn't want their relationship to be over. Alice loved Vik. Vik saved her, and she couldn't just let that go.

But on the other hand, Simon also saved her. He helped her up when Vik threw her to the ground, he even saved their relationship a few times. She loved Simon as well.

"Alice, are you okay? Was that to much?" Simon placed an arm around her shoulders as she cried.

"Take me home, Simon... I need to talk to Josh..."

"Okay, alright. I love you, Alice. Please, don't be mad at me."

"I'm not mad..." Alice stood, grabbing her bag. She began to walk to the car.

Alice sobbed, her vision unclear as she shakily made her way to Simon's car. She remembered the day Vik proposed, and her birthday present. She though about all the sweet things Vik had said, memory's rushing back.

She thought about the disappointment she was.

Alice promised Vik she would come back, but now she was second guessing herself. She didn't know what to do. She needed advice.

Slowly, she climbed into the passenger seat of the car, Simon following close behind. He started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"I'm so sorry."

"Simon, it's not your fault."

"Yes, it is."

"No," Alice took a deep breath, "it's not."

"I shouldn't have ruined your relationship with Vik. He's my best friend, and I just stole his fiancé. I am worthless."

"Simon-"

"Alice, please. Go be with Vik. Get married, have children. Please." Simon cried.

"Simon, maybe I should drive." She realized him crying wasn't going to get them home safely.

"No Alice, it's fine. I'm fine, I'm okay."

"Simon!" Alice screamed, he'd swerved into the opposite lane, a car speed toward them.

"SIMO-"

Darkness.
