Alice had to blink a few times to get her eyes to adjust to the lighting. It was only when she was awake that she realized she was in an unknown living room.

"Where the hell am I?" she mumbled as she slowly sat up on the very comfortable sofa.

Her eyes scanned around the living room, which was very modern and beautiful. It had one large sofa which she was sitting on and two loveseats. There was a huge tv hanging on the wall and a big bookcase on the other end of the living room.

Who's house is this?

"Oh hey, you're awake" Liam said as he walked into the living room.

Alice turned around to look at Liam, confusion was plastered all over her face.

"Do you remember what happened?" Liam asked worryingly as he sat down beside Alice.

She rubbed her eyes and tried to remember what had happened today.

"I went visit my parents, who had no time for me and when I was on my way home I broke down. All I remember was getting out of my car but that's it" Alice explained, vague memories flooding back in snippets.

"Alice.. when I found you, you were on the ground in the rain sobbing and shivering from the cold" Liam said, his tone of voice being sad and worried.

"I-, I went to visit my parents because I needed someone to talk to since my boyfriend has been acting so weird lately but when I got there my mum just shut me down and told me she had work soon. I felt so horrible, so unwanted, I didn't know what to do and as soon as I got in my car I broke down" Alice explained as a sharp pain ached in her heart.

Liam looked sad, genuinely sad for her, "Alice that's horrible.. are, are you and your boyfriend okay now?"

"I don't know, I want to call him and talk to him about it but at the same time I'm scared to, what if he tells me something I don't want to hear" Alice said with a sad and worried tone.

Liam sighed, "If you really want to, you should call him, regardless of what he might say. Plus I'm always here for you. But if you're not sure then I advise you not to because you need to look after yourself right now"

"No. No I'm going to call him right now" Alice said and quickly stood up from the sofa.

If she was going to do this, she was going to do it now and not sit and dwell on it.

"Where's my phone?" Alice asked as her eyes scanned around the room.

"Alice.." Liam said, not wanting her to call Fionn.

"Where is my phone." Alice said sternly, not wanting to put up with any of Liam's bullshit right now.

Liam sighed, "it's in the kitchen"

Not knowing where the kitchen was Alice groaned and left the living room, looking around the hallway for the kitchen.

It was an easy find and she quickly rushed over to the room, grabbing her phone as soon as she could. When she turned on her phone she was shocked to see thousands of notifications.

As she started reading some, she literally felt her heart sink, fall to the ground, and shatter into a million pieces.

JUST IN: Fionn Whitehead spotted holding hands with a woman who is rumored to be the model Elizabeth as he walked over the red carpet to the exclusive Dunkirk party. But what happened to Alice?

"No", it came out more as a faint whisper, but filled with pain.

She knew it. She knew it. She fucking knew it.

"Alice? What's up?"

She looked up at Liam, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Liam looked shocked as he saw the state Alice was in and rushed over to her.

"Hey it's okay, it's okay" he said as he held Alice tightly in his arms.

"What happened?"

Alice placed her phone in Liam's hands, not having the strength to explain. Liam took her phone and scrolled through her notifications, still holding onto her with his other arm.

"That motherfucker" Liam said in anger.

How could anyone do this to her?! To Alice!

"I need to call him" Alice finally said.

"What no! He doesn't deserve you!"

Alice got out of Liam's embrace and looked him in the eyes, "I love him Liam. I have to call him. I just need to okay"

Liam sighed, he knew Alice didn't feel the same way for him as he did for her. But maybe when her and Fionn break up over this he could finally get her. She could finally be his.

Alice left the room with her phone, wanting to be alone. She walked outside onto the patio and sat down on a chair before calling Fionn.

After the line dialled for a few seconds, Fionn finally answered.

"Alice? Why are you calling? You should be asleep, its midnight in LA"

She desperately wanted to ask what's going on. Wanted to be reasonable, but with all the hurt and anger she was feeling, the exact opposite came out.

"How could you?" She said with filth.

"After everything. After you said you loved me. Fuck that must've been a lie! Our whole relationship must've been a fucking lie!"

Fionn was shocked, not knowing what was happening. "Alice what are you talking about?"

"No fuck you Fionn!! Don't pull that shit on me!! Here I was thinking I was only overreacting but no I was right!! I've just had the worst fucking day of my life Fionn. The worst. And to find this out, this was just the cherry on top. Fuck you Fionn. Fuck you" Alice said with a shaky voice, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Alice please explain to me what the hell is going on" Fionn said with hurt in his voice.

"What's going on is that's it's over. This, us, its over. I'm done."
