Alice was cleaning down the tables a Pop's before she closed up for the night, as she was cleaning she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist which made her instantly feel safe. She spun around in her spot to meet the eyes of Fp who was wearing the biggest smile she had ever seen on him. Fp's attire was a rather formal three-piece suit with a small white rose attached to the pocket. After planting a small delicate kiss on her boyfriend's lips Alice took a few steps back to admire how sexy her man looked." I just need to change and lock up and I'm all your sugar" she called whilst walking toward the back of the chock' lit shoppe. Alice rushed to the changing room almost stumbling headfirst into the rack of uniforms, quickly she stripped down to her underwear, opening the clothes bag which graced the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. It was an above the knee, light blue with the most remarkable embroidery and a corset that made her figure look even more flawless than she already was. Once Alice had slipped into her dress and stepped into her heels she was ready to lock up the shop and go to homecoming with her love.
Alice was definitely surprised when Fp had asked her to homecoming it wasn't exactly his scene and god forbid the serpents ever found out he'd be crucified. She did, however, take his proposal with a grain of salt not believing he would actually take her to the in his words "most cliche night of awkward hookups ever", but now they were in his car on the way to the dance and Alice could seem to stop the smile that was adorned on her face the whole journey, the pure elation she felt almost made her forget about what happened earlier which she was terrified to tell her boyfriend because she knew it would mean the end for them. The truck pulled up outside the school and Fp parked haphazardly over three spaces. He exited the car walking round to open the door for his beloved with an over dramatised bow. "Your Majesty" he joked as he helped Alice down from the car, lacing their fingers together as they walked to the ballroom (or as it would be called the day after. The Gym. The couple walked up to the name station receiving their tags (like no one knew who they were already) and entered the hall. Alice let out a small gasp as she saw the room. The theme was Hollywood glamour and boy did it live up to its name, with a small red carpet leading to the photo booth, gorgeous lights cascaded around the room and decoration in every nook. Fp couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at how excited his girlfriend was to be her. Alice shook off her excitement and try to act nonchalant about the whole thing. Fp ignoring her small performance walks Alice to the centre of the dance floor and take her other hand into his gently as a slow song beings to play. " May I have this dance?" Fp urges as he slowly pulls her against his body. " I did know serpents knew how to dance" she quips as they start slow dancing, Alice rather taken back by Fp's ballroom dance skills. "Where did you learn to dance like this, I barely know how to dance like this and I was made to go to recitals" Alice jokes as the glide around the area they have obtained. "A serpent never reveals his secrets" Fp whispers making Alice burst into laughter. "That's magicians you idiot" she can't stop laughing as she gives him a massive kiss. She was so in love with him and she knew he felt the same so maybe telling him wouldn't be the end of them it, this could make their bond even stronger. But gosh was she wrong.
After a few more songs the couple took a break from dancing, as Fp went to sit down Alice went to get them both some punch, which upon standing next to it realising it had been spiked she got herself a water. Just as Alice was about to walk back to her man, the very cocky and rather uptight Hal Cooper came over to talk to her. Alice didn't mind Hal infant at one point they were rather friendly but he had developed feelings for her into their friendship around the same time she began to date Fp which made it near impossible for them to remain friends so she distanced herself from him. That was until now. "Hey there Smith!" he said with an air of arrogance in his voice. " Go easy on the water there don't want you going overboard" he snorted out a drop of spit landing on Alice's face. She dramatically used her hand to wipe it away giving Hal a clear message that she wasn't impressed. " What do you want Hal? I'm busy" she asked disdainfully, searching the room for her boyfriend knowing how jealous he got and not wanting to cause a scene. "Well as we both know you and I are nominated for prom king and queen and I just wanted to inform you of the dance we shall be having once we win". Alice's rolled her eyes so hard she gave herself a headache. Without acknowledging Hal's comment she turned on her heels to go and find her partner. Once she reached the table where she left her date, Alice placed down the drinks and sat on Fp's lap. She looked hard and deep into his coffee brown eyes memorising how soft and happy they looked in this moment before she told him. "What is it? Do I have something?" Fp questions brushing away non-existent lint from his face. Alice stares for a few more seconds before acknowledging his question. "Oh no I just wanted to remember you like this. In this moment. Happy. Mine." She explains with a sigh. " Fp can we go somewhere and talk I need to tell you something important". Fp looks slightly confused but follows her none the less, as she walks them to the football field.
"If you wanted to make out you didn't need to bring me all the way out here, I would have happily obliged in the warm too" he jokes nervously scared as to why they are out here and why Alice looks so serious."Ali, what's going on? Is something wrong? Did something happen?" He asks almost in a state of panic at this point. They have reached the bleachers and Alice gestures for Fp to sit and she takes place alongside him. " I need to tell you something serious, and I don't know how you're going to react and that scares me honestly but I can't keep this a secret from you." Alice rambles, taking a big breath preparing herself to come clean to her boyfriend. " I'm pregnant". She blurts out not knowing any other way of telling him, not even a sugar coating. Fp's jaw facial expression drops rapidly. She could see how fast his mind was working to try and process this information. "You're... and it's... we're..." his mind was having too many thoughts to formulate a whole sentence. He was happy of course he was happy. He wanted this with her. Eventually. Not right now, he couldn't provide right now, the child would grow up in the worst possible way and he couldn't let that happen, all he could think was that he wasn't going to let his child grow up the way he did. In poverty, so he did the one thing he knew would work to help his child and even Alice. "when are you terminating?" He asked bluntly and emotionless, he could see her facial expression change from scared to pure rage. "ABORTION! you want me to get an abortion! I thought you would tell me it would be all right and we'd figure it out together" even though her face was conveying her utter hatred for Fp right now he heard the crack in her voice could tell how much he had hurt her, and all he wanted to do was pull her into his arms and comfort her, but he couldn't. Couldn't jeopardise hers and their babies future like that. " If you were looking for sympathy or support you're with the wrong girl babycakes". Alice was beyond rage at this point she stood up from her seat hovering over Fp and before she could stop herself her palm was colliding with his face. " I can't believe I ever fell in love with such a heartless man. I wish I had never met you. WERE OVER!" She screamed louder than she ever had before. At least to him. Alice took off running back to the school so she could leave.
She entered the school she knew the only way out was through the gym. Alice hung her head low so no one could see her tear soaked face. As she walked across the hall she found herself suddenly stopped by a rock hard surface, she took a step back and saw she had collided with Hal. Great, he was the last person she wanted to see especially now. As she stood there for a second clumsily wiping her eyes she heard the rather loud voice of the class president announce Hal as homecoming king. 'And you're homecoming queen is ..." At this moment Alice prayed with all of her heart that it wouldn't be her. "... Alice Smith" Alice wish there was a way for her to just curl up into nothingness and not be her right now, but that was impossible, especially with all of these people pushing her to the stage. Once she hit the steps Alice knew she had to put on her game face and roll with it for once dance and then she could leave. Alice walked up the steps and received her crown, Hal wrapped his arm around her waist leading her to the dance floor. She couldn't help but notice the lack of security she felt whilst in Hal's arms as they danced, there wasn't the same comfort as there was with Fp. A single tear fell down her cheek as she remembered the argument they had just had on the bleachers. She felt Hal's thumb gently brush her cheek clearing the wet streak the tear had left on her face. Alice glimpsed into his eyes giving a small warm smile, which was immediately returned in kind. They danced happily for the next few minutes until the end of the song. Alice detangled herself from him and headed for the car park not sure exactly as to how she was going to get home.
Alice stood in the parking lot shivering in full floods of tears with no way to get. She felt a jacket being placed on her shoulders, and two hands rubbing her arms. "What are you doing out here you'll freeze to death." A familiar voice questioned. Alice turned to see Hal once again. Why couldn't she escape this man? "Why do you care?" she replied with a clear hint of bitterness in her question. " I saw how upset you were before we were crowned I also didn't see Fp when you left so figured you might need a ride'. The sweetness and sincerity in his voice was something she'd never heard from Hal before, but he was right she did need a lift home, so how could she really refuse. On the way back to her home Alice poured her heart out to Hal telling him about the pregnancy and how Fp reacted sobbing the whole journey. Hal listened and commented in the right places with his hand comfortingly on her knee. After a while, they pulled up outside her house. Alice hopped out of the car and made her way to the porch. " Do you umm want to come in its late and I don't really want to be alone right now. besides, imagine how happy our parents would be if the found out, they've been planning our wedding since they met." She laughs wiping her remaining tear, opening the door. As they both entered, Fp was watching the exchange from across the road in his truck. He hated himself for pushing her away and seeing her with another man made him sick to his stomach especially Hal and because they had only just broken up, but he knew it was for the best for her future, for their child's future.
