《Unknown》Seven: The 'Girlfriend'
Advertisement
So, his name is Dan. I wonder what he is like? Is he another one of Zoe's friends?
"ZOE!" I hear him yell, that voice!
Zoe runs up and hugs him and laughs, Louise walks towards him but glances at me and I signal for her to keep quiet, I don't want this to be the way people meet me.
"Ah, Ali has been hit by Cupids arrow, am I wrong?" Caspar asked me, smirking slightly causing me to blush.
"Pht, no, no he is just, no." I stuttered.
"I'll take that as a yes then, come on, we better get going before Zoe sees you." Caspar grabbed my arm and led me out of the store.
"WAIT! Zoe, that's her, she is the one I saw earlier!" I knew that voice, it was him from before, Phil! That was his name!
"So much for being subtle Phil." An unfamiliar voice spoke up.
I continued to walk away but made the mistake of looking back at them and made eye contact with Zoe and her eyes went wide, I shot my head back and felt embarrassed by the attention.
"NICE TO MEET YOU, WHERE YOU BEEN? I CAN SHOW YOU INCREDIBLE THINGS" My phone started to go off on full volume blurting Taylor Swift, I tried to rummage around my bag for my phone whilst my face turned a brighter shade of pink.
"MAGIC, MADNESS, HEAVEN, SIN. SAW YO-" I found my phone and turned it off, it was a phone call from Zoe who I glared at and she mouthed a sorry.
"Saw you there and I thought oh my god, look at that face-" I looked back in the direction of Zoe to see Dan had continued to sing along to Blank Space, Phil nudged him and he looked up, realizing the music was no longer playing.
He let out a cough and looked at his shoes, me and Caspar shared a look and walked off out of sight, with Dan still on my mind. Caspar began to burst out laughing and I elbowed him and he let out a yell, causing even more people than before to look at us and I quickly walked off.
My phone began to buzz and I saw I had three new messages.
Zoe: What just happened???!!!
Louise: Why didn't you come over, I haven't seen you in ages Al, before you head home I will meet you okay?
Zoe: Heading back now so I can phone you, don't ignore my phone calls this time Ali. We still have to talk!
I let out a sigh and shove my phone back into my bag, and sit down at the nearest bench. Caspar came and sat with me and placed his hand on my back. "Ali, maybe this secret is getting too much?" As he mentioned the idea of me revealing the truth I shot up and began to walk away.
No one understands what its like to not be able to say 'Hi, I'm Ali Sugg, its nice to meet you.' I always have to pretend or not mention my surname, the one time I told someone who I was it didn't end well for me.
Flashback:
"Ali, can I ask you something?" Miles asked as we collapsed onto the sofa with a blanket, Miles is my boyfriend, and he has been for the last 4 months, things have been going smoothly, and slowly, its been perfect so far. We go on surprise dates, he takes me to those small places that you would never dream of discovering.

"Of course, what is it?" I asked, as I moved closer into his shoulder, getting comfortable.
"Why haven't I met your family? I mean, you never talk about them I was just wondering as you know, we've been in a relationship for a while now and-" I cut him off by kissing him, a short, sweet kiss. Now isn't the time to discuss my family. "Listen, Ali don't think you can just kiss me every time you want to avoid it, I am going to put duck tape on my lips until you tell me." He crossed his arms and sat in silence.
"I guess that leaves me with no choice?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Fine, where is your laptop?" He stands up and gets it, logs in and passes it to me.
I type in YouTube and search for my sisters vlogs, I find the only one where I know I appear in by accident. As I hit play I turn the screen around to Miles and skip to the point where I appear. The vlog took place a few years ago, it was when we went to look at furniture for Zoe's old place, Joe came with us making it a Sugg family outing.
I glance over to Miles whose eyes were wide and I began to feel a bit uncomfortable, back then none of us knew how successful Zoe would become, then Joe, then they expected it to be me, but no.
"Ali, is that your family?" He spoke slowly and sounded unsure.
"Um, yeah, surprise?" I was even more confused, I didn't know how to break it to him.
"Well, this is kinda awkward..." He began to scratch the back of his neck and moved away from me and stopped the video, what's up with him? "Listen, Ali there's something you need to know about me."
I moved away from him as I began to get uncomfortable.
"What is it Miles." I asked sternly.
"I don't know how to tell you this but, I used to date your sister." Great, as if telling someone the truth could not have gone better.
End of flashback.
After that things didn't go so well for us, I terminated the relationship and I never mentioned the matter to Zoe, I doubt she can remember it, but I couldn't tell her at the time, we had not seen eachother for at least 7 months so she never even met Miles. Meaning telling her would be pointless, unlike the Alfie matter.
Once we got out of the shopping centre I dropped Caspar off at the hotel and he told me to wait, which I did. As he returned he had all of his luggage in his arms and put it all in the boot, he sat back down and smiles to me.
"Caspar..." I start, confused by his previous actions.
"Ali...?" He asks.
"Where are you going?" I ask him as I start the engine.
"No Ali, it's not where I'm going, its where we are going." He buckles himself in and I let out a deep sigh and start to drive.
• Few hours later •
Caspar had directed me to a theme park, I looked over to him and he smiled. As I parked the car and got out I let out a sigh.
"Caspar, why are we here?" I ask looking around seeing all of the rides.

"Cause I wanted to, and you look like you need a laugh." Wow, was that supposed to be an insult or a twisted compliment?
I shrugged my shoulders and we headed inside, the last time I went to a theme park was a few years ago when I went to Disney land with my Jess and Jim when we all managed to have time off before we all got into serious jobs.
As we lined up for the nearest roller coaster I could feel someomes eyes on me, as I turned away and glanced behind me, no one was staring, I shrugged it off and continued moving forward as the queue in front of us was getting shorter.
"Ali will pay for the secrets she keeps." I heard a familiar voice say, I knew that voice, but where from? I turned around and had a longer look but again there was nothing, I looked to Caspar and whispered in his ear.
"Someone's following me, like I said this morning I had a phone call and it was this voice that I didn't know I just, maybe I'm being paranoid.
I shook the feeling off and we finally got onto the ride, next to us were two vacant seats and I turned to Caspar to talk to him and when I turned around, there was Zoe.
"Ali, you can't keep running okay? I have to talk to you its about Alfie." As soon as she said his name I felt myself tense up, I want to get off, now.
"Umm excuse me! Is there anyway I can get off this ride? Please?!" My voice was filled with anxiousness, I couldn't escape Zoe's judging eyes, I knew them all to well.
Caspar touched my shoulder and I calmed down slightly, I looked to him with wide eyes, filled with fear, I couldn't tell her the truth, Caspar gave me a soft smile, which made me feel slightly at ease, I let out a loud sigh as the ride began to start up.
The intensity of the wind results in communication or attempts of it to be near impossible, meaning I have time, a short period of time to think things through, as I played all of the possible scenarios in my head none of them resulted in a happy ending.
As the ride came to an end, I saw one possible conclusion, run. The straps came undone and I legged it, I know it may not be the best option but what else could I have done, Caspar will forgive me and he can get a lift back with Zoe, plus neither of them know where I'm staying, making it the perfect hideout.
"Ali? Where did she go?!" I can hear Zoe's voice, shes mad, its not surprising, I look around for possible hiding places, either another ride or a bush, I jump into the bush and keep hidden, I just about manage to make a small peep hole to see them. "What is with Ali Casp? I don't know what to do!" She began to get upset, I can't stand to see Zoe cry, suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder, as I slowly turned around, a man in his uniform coughed.
"Miss, you cannot hide in a bush, its against the policies set here, I'm going to have to ask you to get up and follow me." He said, I let out a groan and stood up, feeling funny as my legs have gone dead from crouching for too long.
"Ali?" I turned around as the man had a hold of my arm and saw Zoe she pulled a face at me and I just shrugged my shoulders. "Oi! Get off of her, shes innocent until proven guilty." I heard Zoe say, the man let out a sigh and looked at me.
"Do you know her?" He raised an eyebrow as he looked back to me and Zoe.
"Yeah she does, she is my girlfriend." Caspar spoke up. Me and Zoe shared a look of surprise, what's he up to?
Alfies POV:
"Zoe?" I woke up seeing Zoe gone and there was no sign of her being here for a while. I rubbed my eyes and got out of bed, the strong smell of food filling my nostrils.
As I went downstairs and called for Zoe the door shut, and before I knew it I could hear a car driving off, as I walked into the kitchen I saw Marcus sat down having a coffee.
"Alright Marcus, where's Zoe?" I asked as I sat down opposite him helping myself to a cup of coffee.
He took a sip of his coffee and then placed it down on the table. "I er, Zoe said she was going out, Louise went with her but that's all I know. They made breakfast and let me to it."
Where have they gone? I take my coffee and head back upstairs, passing Jack and smiling as I went, I didn't mean the smile, I can't focus on being pleasant right now. As I grabbed my phone I rang Zoe, no reply.
"Zoe, its Alfie, give me a ring when you get this! Cant believe you left before I got up, love you." I hung up the phone, then rang Louise, no answer either.
I dialled another number, and luckily they answered. "Hello, is this Mr Alfie Deyes?"
"Yes it is, I just wanted to confirm what we discussed yesterday?" I went over to the door, checking no one was listening in and shut it quickly.
"Of course Mr Deyes. I will keep you updated on a Miss Alison Sugg and her whereabouts, we have also gotten an person on the inside, someone she knows to help us out, ensure she doesn't spill secrets she shouldn't tell." I smiled as he told me the arrangements, that'll keep Ali out of it.
"Might I ask who this person on the inside is?" Who could it be? One of her friends back home? A family friend? Family?
"Of course Mr Deyes, his name is Caspar Lee."

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
