Ali's POV:

"Morning Ali, did you sleep well?" Jim asked as he stretched out and clicked his back as he stood up from the sofa.

"I didn't sleep." I replied, it was true, all I could think about was what was in the bag, my mind wouldn't shut down no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't leave me in peace to at least attempt to get some form of sleep.

"But Ali, you need to get some sleep, no matter what's in that bag, I-" I cut Jim off.

"What ever is in that bag could be a game changer, give me an idea on what is actually happening, now we've got our plan in motion, we have to be prepared for a battle." I told him as I went over to get Caspar's bag and placed it in front of me.

Jim came and sat down next to me, giving me a concerned expression whilst I quickly glanced to him then straight back to his bag. "What if it's a bomb?" Jim asked curiously as I began to unzip it, pausing and giving him the look of annoyance.

"Yeah Jim, of course Caspar put explosives in my car and left them with me, what should I do? Phone bomb control?" I said in a very sarcastic tone, Jim just looked down, and I continued to unzip his bag until it was fully opened.

"His laptop?" Jim asked as we both sat there staring at it.

"I thought Caspar took this, he never leaves without his laptop, maybe if we just take a peak." I began to lift up the lid and Jim moved my hand away and closed it back up.

"Ali, if we do this you don't know what could be on there, you're invading his privacy." He said giving me a knowing stare.

"What about my privacy? Someone is taking advantage of that and if Caspar as something to do with it then I want to know!" I raised my voice slightly and Jim got off and went to the bathroom, I went to call his name but he'll be fine.

As I turn the laptop on it comes up with his login, I sit there, trying to rack my brain of everything Caspar likes, loves, thinks about everyday or shares with me when we speak. Here goes nothing.

"Gigi Hadid Lee." I typed into the password box and hit enter, hoping it would work. Yet nothing.

So, it's not Gigi, what else could it be? "Pizza lover?" I guessed and without a doubt it failed. I lent against the head rest on the bed, trying to think but I was too tired, I began to drift off.

Flashback:

"That son of a -" Caspar covered my mouth with his hand before I got the chance to finish, I raised an eyebrow to him but he just smiled, I sat there raging inside wanting to run over to him and punch his lights out without hesitation.

"Ali, you know you can't go over there, who knows what'll happen we just have to stay put and observe, okay?" Caspar said looking to me keeping his hand covering my mouth leaving me just to nod as an answer.

Anger boiled up inside of me, I turned to Caspar who looked furious, even more so than me. "What does he think he's doing? He is destroying two relationships, and more if he's not careful I'm going over there to punch him in the face." Caspar began to get agitated so I held his head still preventing him from moving, then he began to swear so I covered his potty mouth.

Me sat down next to the bar, and Caspar stood up covering each others mouths, how sane we must look now. Hopefully Alfie won't notice.

As we sat watching them, well more like full on stalking them I wanted to know what they were talking about, if they were discussing the ways to break everyone's hearts, the method of self fulfilment and by cheating you achieve your goals in life, or if they were here just by chance. Then again I'm not a believer in chance or coincidence.

Alfie seemed to be getting more and more drinks by the second, whereas Niomi sat curling her hair and continuously biting her lip, how is they supposed to be attractive or seductive?

I turned to face Caspar and bit my lip trying to impersonate Niomi and Caspar did the same, causing us both to laugh but then snap out of the momental humour and back into serious detective mode.

"Do you think this is the first time they've met like this?" I asked out of curiosity, they seem far too comfortable for this to be a rare occurrence.

"I doubt it, you see the way she's looking at him, and how he keeps scratching his head, it's a thing some people do when they feel either guilty or in love." He said as he took a sip of his drink then placed it on the bar next to me.

"Do you ever think people give you that look?" I faced him and raised an eyebrow.

He looked me in the eyes and stayed that way for a while, as if he was thinking about anything, yet he seemed fairly focused on my eyes, his gaze not shifting at any point.

What felt like a lifetime of gazing came to a halt, as Caspar looked away from me and sighed. "Guess I'll never know Ali." He said wrapping his arm around me.

For a while we sat down and talked about random occurrences, plans for the year and how we could plan to tell everyone without them all figuring out.

Caspar hit me to notify me and I let out a groan, "Caspar that was my boob!" I glared at him but it was as if he never heard me as his eyes were following something, I looked up and immediately got my phone out as I saw them snogging.

My face turned pink with rage as I took a series of photos, unfortunately not missing any bit of it, after which I drank the rest of my vibrantly coloured drink in attempt to calm down, which failed.

Shortly after they began to get up to leave, more photographic evidence in the bag now. Niomi calmly walked out and at the doorway paused for a glance at Alfie and then flipped her hair back and walked outside. A moment later Alfie practically ran out after her, how desperate can one get.

Once they both left I looked through my phone for all the evidence I had collected in this short space of time, and then I felt sick to my stomach.

"Ali, if you tell Zoe she will hate you. As in disown you." I turned around to see how spoke but it wasn't Caspar, maybe I'm mishearing things, the music is blasting at full capacity.

"I'm going to go outside." I signalled to Caspar who told me to wait as I put my jacket on.

He paid for the drinks and held my hand as he led me safely out of the stuffy club.

Once we got outside I had underestimated how cold it actually was, and being in a skirt and very thin tights wasn't a good idea. I began to shiver in my thin jacket wishing I had worn a thick jumper instead, another reason to have stayed at the apartment.

"Ali here, you're shivering." Caspar took off his thicker jacket but I declined his offer, seeing a taxi approaching.

"The taxis here now so you keep it." I politely replied as we climbed in, letting him go first in case my skirt decided to have a bit of a fashion emergency.

As we drove home neither of us spoke, I sat in deep thought thinking about whoever told me Zoe would hate me if I told her. She wouldn't would she? I mean if I had a boyfriend which is a big if and he cheated on me and she knew I would want to know, but they're so iconic, maybe I should think it through first.

Once we arrived I climbed out and thanked the driver as Caspar paid him and we walked back to the apartment, not realising it was 3:46am.

"Ali, we need to talk about it." Caspar said just before we got to the front door.

"How? We can't let Joe find out, we need code names." I suggested, thinking on my feet and not wanting to get my brother involved in this fiasco.

"Code names? Like for us or for them?" Caspar questioned my logic, soon he won't be so curious.

"For us, if we talk about it we can't let anyone catch on, we are now known as Darkbloom and Varjack." I told him crossing my arms, fully satisfied with my decision, knowing he wouldn't get the references.

"Right, what are we going to tell Joe?" Ah, Joe.

"I don't know, just make something up." I told him as we walked inside, welcomed by Joe sat there with his arms crossed.

"Ali! Thank God you're okay." Joe ran up and hugged me as Caspar put our jackets down.

"Yeah Joe I'm alright too, thanks for the concern." Caspar said sarcastically causing me to smile.

"Ali why are you're eyes all wet?" He asked wiping my eyes, I couldn't let either of them know I cried on the way home, it was too embarrassing, especially since I knew Joe would make a thing about it.

"It rained." I blatantly stated, lying through my teeth.

"No, it hasn't rained all evening." Joe said and was trying to get the bottom of it.

"Yes it was, but it was just by the club, one of the pipes leaked and landed on me, heh." I innocently told him.

"But why is your face all red?" He wasn't letting it go that easily.

"What? You never seen a girl without makeup on, I bid you goodnight Joseph." I began to walk off then had to come back and check where I was sleeping.

"She can sleep in my room." Caspar smirked causing me to squirm.

"My room Ali, goodnight." He said sending me off downstairs. Once I was gone I could hear Joe talking about me to Caspar, but I couldn't fully make out what he was telling him.

After a short sleep I messaged Caspar, asking him about what we should do, yet the temptation to run upstairs with my phone and show Joe pictures of them kissing was gnawing away at me.

Caspar: We don't tell them, not yet. We're going to have to think this through Darkbloom.

Ali: Okay Varjack, I'm just scared.

Caspar: Don't be, I'm next door.

Ali: You know what I mean, for the reactions.

Caspar: I'll always be here to protect you, don't forget that. Good night.

End of flashback.

I'll always be here to protect you. What a down right dirty liar, he never cared, and I really believed he did.

"Come on Ali, rack your brain, anything?" Jim asked as he paced up and down nervously.

"Jim! Not helping!" I blurt out causing Jim to remain stationary and then to go to the bathroom, leaving me alone to think things over.

Okay Ali, it's worth a shot. As I typed the letters in I was convinced he wouldn't have remembered, but as I sat staring at the screen waiting for it to tell me to try again I was wrong, it logged in and revealed a home page.

"Jim! I did it!" I yelled and banged on the bathroom door with excitement, a moment later Jim came out and sat down on the bed amazed.

"What was the password?" He asked curiously.

"Nothing in particular. Let's see what's on this then shall we?" I asked as I opened up his documents.

"We shall." Jim laughed as I looked at the various file names. "Wait, what's that one?" Jim pointed to a file titled 'Plan' and I clicked on it revealing a whole list of documents.

"Is this some sort of project?" I thought aloud.

As I clicked on the first document I was shocked and scared to see what came up.

Pictures, a presentation, and a film of Alfie and Niomi's meeting being twisted and tampered with, making it seem like it was nothing more than a mere coincidence. That Caspar the traitor had made a plan for Alfie incase anyone found out, how dare he!

"Ali, this is all lies." Jim said as he scrolled down to see a page entitled 'Ali's twisted truth'. He tried to close it but I stopped him, wanting to see what Caspar had put about me.

"Ali Sugg, the girl who was jealous of her siblings success and hated to see her sister happy in her career and relationship tried to ruin it by mainly Alfie and a friend meeting for drinks a big deal and an act of disgrace to Zalfie when she intended it to be that way all along by setting Alfie up." I felt tears in my eyes, a mixture of pure anger and sadness, how could he say this about me?

Me? The one who was so proud of her siblings success, couldn't be more proud of the fact Zoe is so happy in her love life, only to be ruined by finding him cheating. And now how Casparnis twisting it on me, making me seem like the bad guy when all along he's been working for Alfie the enemy.

"I'm done Jim." I told him as I placed my head in my hands and let the tears fall.

He placed his hand on my back and was interrupted my phone ringing, he passed it to me but I ignored it. Another relentless call from my siblings, I turn my phone on silent so I don't have to hear their attempts to resolve my problems, it's my responsibility and now I have to solve it, even if it takes a few months worth of work to figure it out.

"Ali? What are you going to do?" Jim asked slightly concerned by my silence.

"I'm going to play him at his own game, and I know for a fact that I'm going to win." I told him smirking.

I searched through my bag for my USB and downloaded all of Caspars files related to the plan and then deleted them from his laptop.

"Whatever he had planned is gone, so good luck to him showing Alfie his master plan to get rid of me." I told Jim as I placed the USB back into my bag and put Caspars laptop back into his bag.

"Now what?" I turned to face Jim thinking hard, what could we do with his laptop?

Without responding I got up and placed the laptop in his bag, picked it up and walked out of the hotel room without a second thought.

"Ali! Where are you going?" Jim called after me as I walked towards the lift.

"I'm going to Zoe's and dumping his bag then I'm going home." I told him with a straight face, not caring for anyone else's opinion.

"But Ali, you're in your pyjamas...." He pointed out and I looked down, seeing I was in shorts and a hoodie, plus I had horrific bed hair.

I shrugged my shoulder to him and waited for him to join me, once he got inside we stood waiting for the lift to descend.

Once we got to the ground floor I confidently walked out towards the main entrance, ignoring all the eyes watching me as I walk out in fluffy socks with Jim trailing behind me. As we get to the car and start it we soon drive off towards my destination.

"When we get there you're going to dump it." I told him as I saw the turning knowing I was minutes away.

"Why me? Why do you always make me play sacrifice?" He whined.

"As no one knows who you are, and they won't even see you remember? Zoe has a lot of security so you'll just put it outside the gates and walk away calmly." I played the plan out in my head, knowing this will go smoothly as long as no one sees us.

Once I stopped around the corner Jim got out and walked away I saw him turn around pass the corner and let out a sigh of relief, I opened the mirror attached to the car and looked at how tired I appeared, I began to wipe my eyes hoping it will improve my appearance some how.

A moment later I hear Jim get back into the car, that was faster than I expected. I put the mirror back up and turned the engine on and turned to face Jim but screamed.

"Just drive Ali." Alfie told me and I didn't object.
