I walk back into the hotel room and sit on the bed; checking the time.
Everyone should get here in about 3 more hours.
What should I do in the mean time?
I stand up and get my camera out and decide to make a video
"Hello world! It's Alice and I'm going to start making a series called... Alice's world. It's a weird name but I literally just thought of the title haha! So I'm in the hotel room right now, Emily Kinney and I share this room. She kindly offered me the extra bed because it takes a few hours to get to set from my house, so I will be living here for awhile." I walk over to the balcony and turn the camera away from my face to show my view.
"That down there ladies and gents is an extremely busy street." I walk back inside and into the hallway.
"This is Danai and Lauren Cohan's suite who play Maggie and Michonne. Next to Emily and my suite is Melissa Mcbride's room, across from her is Steven Yuen." I show each of the doors of the cast members rooms
"And the rest of the floor is taken up by some of the extras. Andrew and Norman both have houses... Chandler does too." I blush at the mention of his name. I try and hide it by quickly moving on
"Well.. I'm waiting for everyone to stop filming for the day so we can have fun! woohoo! bye everyone!" I laugh before stopping the camera.
I walk back to the door and turn the nob, nothing happens. I begin to freak out, shaking the door a few times and banging on it, of course nothing happens.
I forgot my key in the room.
I turn around and slide down the door pulling my legs up and hugging them; burying my face.
3 hours until I can get into my room.
******
A hand, gently touches my back.
I lift my head up as my eyes adjust to the change of lighting. I see Chandler standing above me and I jump up quickly.
His one eyebrow is raised, asking what I'm doing without asking at all. I look for words to say
"Uh...." I look around, twirling my fingers waiting for something to say. He bursts out laughing.
"What?" I ask letting my hands go
"Nothing." he shakes his head letting out one more laugh.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"The entire cast cleared the pool area for us to have a party. The pool here." he says
"What are you doing out here?" he cocks his eyebrow again
"Uhm." I look at my camera
"I locked myself out... on accident."
"Oh... well Emily isn't here yet so you might have to go to the front desk and ask for help." Why didn't I think of that before!?
"Oh. yeah, okay." I begin walking.
"Do you want to come?" I turn to him stopping in my place.
He smiles and walks up beside me.
We walk down the long hallway without a word.
Reaching the elevator we stand inside as it goes down. Awkwardly standing there... no words
I say it, I don't mean to, but I do.
"Who's Rachel?" He looks at me and shrugs
"A friend."
I look away. Satisfied by his answer
"A close friend." he continues, I look at him
"We're in a relationship." he finishes, my face gets red and I feel like I'm going to throw up.
The elevator opens and I rush out, walking away from Chandler.
I get to the desk and explain myself. They give me a new key and tell me to return it when I'm finished.
I notice Chandler beside me but pretend he isn't with me.
I walk back to the elevator and get inside.
Another awkward 30 seconds.
We get to the top and I quickly walk to my room
"Are you okay?" he asks running behind me
"Yep, peachy just wanna get into my room." I reply quickly
"Alice stop." he orders.
I turn and look at him
"What's wrong?" he asks
I roll my eyes.
"I'm just... homesick."
"Oh." he believes me.
I unlock the door and sigh of relief.
"I'm gonna get ready. I'll see you in about an hour." I fake smile before closing the door. I feel bad for being so distant with him and just closing the door on his face but it's to late to change that.
It's to early to change into my bathing suit so I go onto my laptop and create a YouTube account for my V-logs.
I name it Alicesworld and upload my first video.
I feel satisfied so I share it on twitter.
I have around 4 thousand followers since Emily Kinney uploaded a photo of her and I a week ago.
I get likes on the post almost immediately and 100 views in 5 minutes. I read the few comments posted asking for another video and for me to continue making them.
I whip out my camera and make a follow up video
"Hey guys it's Alice! It's only been a few hours since I filmed my first video and only a few minutes since I posted it but who cares!" I laugh
"Anyway, I'm going to add a few clips at the end of this intro of tonight. So I won't make it long but -" someone knocks on the door cutting me off. I give the camera a look before I rush to open the door
My face turns from a smile to a straight up frown. I stop the recording
"Oh I'm sorry! I meant to knock on Chandler's door!" an overly peppy Rachel smiles. I glare at her wondering why she's acting so happy, I notice some of the cast members walking down the hall.
"Rachel!" Emily grins and gives her a huge hug, I will admit that's jealousy overfills my being.
"You haven't come to set for awhile you must come with Chandler soon!" She smiles
I see Chandler walk out of Stevens room, she walks up and hugs Chandler spinning her around. I can't help the redness my face show's.
"Aw babe I've missed you so much." Rachel hugs him back as he sets her down.
"You two are too cute!" Lauren smiles as she takes out her phone and takes a picture of Rachel hanging all over Chandler.
I roll my eyes and growl as I walk back into my room slamming the door. I know Rachel must be extremely amused by my actions.
I begin changing as Emily walks in, without a word.
"Em! Why didn't you tell me he had a girlfriend! You tried to set me up with him and he ISN'T even single!" I whisper yell
"I'm sorry I thought they broke up!" she explains
"Well they didn't. I was going to ask him to hang out tonight." I sit on my bed crossing my arms
"I am really sorry! I forgot. Lauren must've too, she obviously forgot-" that very second there's a knock at the door. Emily opens it and Lauren comes bursting in
"Alice! I forgot, honestly I thought they broke up awhile ago! That's what Chandler said, they must've gotten back." Lauren says
"Yeah and Chandler does like you, if they break up again then maybe it'll be your turn-" Emily tries but I interrupt
"MY TURN!? He isn't a toy!" I stand
"I didn't mean that." Emily adds
"I know... I'm sorry, I'm just..."
"Jealous?" Lauren whispers
"I am.. for the first time ever, I'm admitting that I'm.. Jealous." I say before slamming the bathroom door.
***
I walk out of the room and meet everyone at the pool. It looks amazing! There is an indoor pool that's in the shape of a circle. In the middle is a little tiki bar.
The pool is lit up with changing colors. There is a small waterfall on the other side of the pool.
Someone bumps into my arm and I'm ready to freak out, then I notice Norman and Steve cannonball into the water. I laugh, Emily takes my arm and laughs before she joins them with a jump into the pool.
I laugh at them until I notice Chandler and Rachel infront of the waterfall. My smile disappears at the notice of Rachel's perfectly done hair and makeup. Her itty bitty bikini and her attempt at flirting, with the most fake giggle I could ever hear.
She takes a glance at me and proceeds to wraps her legs around him as they go under the water fall.
I roll my eyes and groan, you don't care anymore Alice... Chandler is taken.
I put my stuff down on a reclining chair and sit with Scott and Melissa in the hot tub.
"Hey Alice, why aren't you in the pool?" Melissa asks
"Eh, not interested right now." I shrug
Melissa and Scott get into a conversation and I examine everyone from a far.
I don't notice Steve and Andy get out of the pool as I'm lifted out of the tub.
I scream jokingly as I get thrown into the pool.
The water soaks my body as I come above for a breath.
Everyone begins laughing and I join them.
I see Chandler and Rachel get out of the pool and walk to the little bar.
I swim over to the ladder and get out, I walk to the bar and ask for a alcohol free piña caloda.
Chandler walks away momentarily
"I love the jealousy!" she laughs, I look at her confused at who she's talking too
"The look on your face when I showed up. Priceless!" she takes a sip of her red daiquiris.
"What ever floats your boat, Rachel." I raise my eyebrows
"Oh my boat is floating. Do you see Chandler holding your hand and calling you babe?" she smirks. I look at her and can just feel the angriness grow inside of me.
"I don't care Rachel. I'm not interested in Chandler, I'm an actress, I am ACTING. He isn't anything more than a co-star. Just like everyone else here. So you can hang over Chandler all you want but I WILL NOT stoop to your level." I wipe my finger over her whip cream and lick it off my finger.
A man gives me my drink and I begin to walk away until I get interrupted by another remark
"You really are delusional. No wonder your mother dumped you here with your 'co-star's'." she quotes with her fingers.
Don't get my family involved.
I stand there. A readied fist beside me.
"Do it. I dare you."
I do. I turn around and wipe that smirk right off her face.
I swing my fist and it hits her right in her side jaw.
"Alice what are you doing?!" I hear Chandler yell behind me, everything stops. The splashing of my cast members, the chatting. Everything stops. Rachel whimpers as she holds her face
Everyone rushes out of the pool and right to Rachel's need, nobody says anything to me.
I look at all of them, catering to her.
Did anybody hear her? her rude remarks towards me? did ANYBODY hear her? I did what my instinct was, I punched her.
Yeah I feel bad, but she didn't have to threaten me.
I feel a knot in my throat, I try and swallow but it won't move. I feel the tears fill in my eyes.
I turn around, dropping my drink. I don't even get to the door before the sobs come out of my mouth.
I'm hurt, I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm torn. This is it. Any type of friendship left with Chandler is gone... vanished.
I fall to the ground. I haven't made it even 10 feet from the pool doors before I cover my mouth and just let it all out.
I hear someone behind me, I just don't pay attention or really care who it is.
I feel hands, calm hands touch my arms as they help me up, they wrap a towel around me and we begin walking back to my room.
I don't know who it is because the tears blur my vision, but when we get to their suite door I know who it is.
Melissa Mcbride.
She sits me on her bed, I tell her everything.
When I met Rachel today and she told me to back off, about the feelings I have for Chandler, my vow to never get married or love anyone other than my family and friends, when Chandler knocked on my door, the jealousy I had of them two in the pool.
I can't control myself, my emotions are getting the best of me.
I'm not a person to share feelings, but I'm so embarrassed, heartbroken and upset that I could care less about my ego at this point.
I eventually calm down
"Is she okay?" I ask, I don't really care but I want to make sure I didn't break her nose.
"I think. My main purpose was to make sure YOU were okay." she answers
"Thank you. I, I don't like... 'Liking' boys. Especially when I work with him." I sigh
It's been a good hour since we left
I hear a knock.
I roll my eyes, the feeling I get of fear of who is on the other side of the door rises inside of me. Is it the cops coming to arrest me?
It isn't, it's Emily.
She walks inside and asks me to explain myself, she is pretty upset because she 'thought more of me' and I already knew she 'loved' Rachel.
She eventually understood.
We both walk back to our room after I thank Melissa.
Rachel glares at me as she says goodbye to Chandler.
I don't see Chandler's expression nor do I even care.
Emily closes the door and I take a quick shower before going to bed.
AUTHORS NOTE
ONCE MORE I do not know Rachel, this is my version of Rachel, I would NEVER hurt her in any way so please don't think I'm a violent person, I wouldn't hurt her or anyone else so please don't think I'm assaulting her in any way shape or form. I hope you liked this longer chapter though!
