Alfie knew early on.
He actually hadn't known until the masquerade, and probably wouldn't have ever figured it out if Jerome hadn't clued him in when they saw Eddie and Patricia... Having eye... Ahem.
So, yes, he and Jerome started the bet. The bet that tested Peddie, as Amber and Joy referred to it as. He really does feel sorta bad about it, but he likes to believe it's what brought their relationship out even more. Besides, he hadn't meant to screw anything up when he made the bet, he just wanted Eddie and Patricia to be with each other.
And see Jerome rap "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain".
Although he would never admit that.
Out loud, anyway.
Seeing the chemistry between Patricia and Eddie made him wonder of him and Amber's relationship had that much... Spark. Did she really care for him? Were they that compatible?
Would it be sorta bad to say that Peddie was why he broke up with Amber?
But when Amber was so concerned about him when he was stuck in the tunnel and came in after him? It made him really see how much she cared about him. And he didn't want to be broken up with her anymore.
But then she broke up with him.
Oh.
Is it bad he sorta sometimes takes credit for getting Peddie together? I mean, he and Jerome started the bet. And I'm sure that was one of the things that made them realize their true feelings for each other, even if it wasn't official until they were 23.
Yes, you can thank Alfie Lewis for hooking up Peddie! He's better than Amber! Or Joy! Or anyone! He got Peddie together!
That's why he made an announcement on Patricia and Eddie's wedding day on how he was the reason for Peddie.
He took this belief to the grave.
His obituary read, "Alfie Lewis, 69. Illustrator and push towards Peddie."
"You deserve it, bud." Eddie grins as Jerome slides the obituary in its waiting envelope, to be sent to the local news.
A/N: I made Alfie die. Sigh.
ugh we'd better get some Peddie tonight okay. Otherwise I will crY.
Up next... Mick! Yay!
thanks for your review, guys :) they help, they really do.
