Chapter 27//Reactions and Sadness

I can't believe he got her pregnant.

Congrats Vik and Alice!

I really hate her, why is she still with him? He deserves better.

Wow. Vik fucked up.

Awe, I love you guys! Congratulations on the new addition!

O M G WHAT A WHORE

Why is he still with her? Didn't she cheat on him or something?

She couldn't breath. Tears had escaped her eyes, and fallen down her cheeks. Sadly, these were the more positive reactions to her tweet.

Vik had left early, around six A.M. To pick up Lachlan and Rob, who just so happened to end up at the airport at the same time. Preston wouldn't arrive till later.

Alice was meant to get out of bed and take a shower before they came home, but she felt obligated to stay in bed after reading the responses. It hurt, just because of one fuck up, one mistake Vik had made, all of the sudden everyone hated her. They hated her and not him. No, he was perfect. He was innocent. He didn't do anything.

Alice wasn't mad, but she was upset that his fans were so biased, just because they'd known him longer. Or, they thought they knew him.

Eventually, she realized crying over a few hate comments wast worth it, and that she had bigger things to do with her day. Happier things. Like entertaining a bunch of twenty plus year olds. It would be fun.

"Alice!" Vik called from the living room. Fuck. They were home.

"What? I was just about to get a shower!" Alice scrambled out of bed, walking toward the bathroom.

"Oh, okay. Hurry up then, the guys wanna see you!"

"Right!" Alice wiped the tears off her cheeks, stripping all of her clothes and hopping in the shower. She let the warm water fall over her, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

Was this really the life she'd intended to have? Did she really want to become some sort of pawn in a game she didn't know how to play? She figured the answer was yes. It would always be yes, because she was in love with this boy. Even if she didn't know how to play the game, she would learn. She wasn't going to be a pawn anymore. She was going to be a queen.

Alice wasn't going to let what happened in her mentions make her sad. She wasn't going to let the fans get to her. She was stronger than that. Alice was happy with her husband, and she wasn't going to let any of that change.

No one could ever break up their relationship again, and Alice was certain of that.

She finished up her shower, glancing at herself in the mirror quickly before getting dressed. She wasn't fat, minus the baby bump, but she wasn't skinny. She was just right, and that made her happy. She didn't need a small body or adoring fans to make her happy. All she needed was a family. The Sidemen, the Pack. Family. Alice didn't need a mom, or a dad, all she needed was good friends.

Alice Zerker @omgitsalicez:
Thanks for all the positive support! I love you all!

Kill 'em with kindness, right?

Alice finally finished getting ready and she left the bedroom, making sure to put on a smile before leaving.

"Alice! Hey!" Lachlan, his Australian accent thick, spoke.

"Hi Lachlan! Rob, nice to see you as well!" Alice sat down on the couch next to Vik.

"I see the lil' bump!" Rob looked astonished, as if he'd never seen a pregnant lady before.

"You okay, buddy? You're getting a bit to excited over a bump..." Vik laughed.

"I know, but it's so adorable!"

"Okay, Rob... Calm down!" Lachlan laughed, patting his friends shoulder.

"I'm sorry!" Rob pretended to be upset with himself.

"Honestly, it's okay. At least you're not like those woman on the streets... They always wanna touch my stomach. I mean, it doesn't bother me but-it's just a baby, right? Why does everyone obsess over children?"

"Maybe because it gives them hope." Jerome chimed in, smiling.

"Maybe, but it's just super weird."

For the next few hours, the boys and Alice spoke about random topics, waiting for Preston to land. When he did, all of the boys crawled in a cab, considering Vik's car (vikkscar123) couldn't hold five people.

Alice took this time inbetween entertaining to call her brother. She hadn't talked to him since the announcement of her pregnancy. Since her voice was tired, she decided to just text him.

Alice;
Hey bro! How have things been at the Sidemen house?

Joshua;
Good, Freya and Lewis have turned Vik's room into a Sidemen Clothing office:-)

Alice;
Awe, that quickly?! The nostalgia is now forever gone for that room.

Joshua;
Good. We don't ever want you and Vik back.

Alice;
Well then...

Joshua;
I was just kidding. Come back soon! But I guess your busy hosting the pack this week...

Alice;
Yeah, it's been hard. With the morning sickness and all...

Joshua;
Baby's are hard. I know.

Alice;
How would you know?

Joshua;
I'm daddy Zerk. Of course I know.

Alice;
OMG byE IM OUT!

Joshua;
Bye Alice! Love youuuu!:')

Alice;
What ever, fuckin daddy... Never in a million years Zerkbog.

Joshua;
Haha, go have fun with your Minecraft boys.

Alice;
Now now...

Alice decided to leave him alone, he probably had a lot of work to do on videos.

As the day went on, she become happier with the company. Surely, the next few days with the Pack, out and about in London would do her well. And then the last day with the Sidemen having a party surely would help as well.

She was happy with the friends she had, and she'd be damned if she let that change because of some nasty fans. Life was good, and so were her and Vik. And the baby, of course.
