(The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Chloe and Alek)
Running Away

Chapter 1: Feeling Betrayed.

Alek's POV-

I can't believe what I am seeing right now. Is she really talking to that, that, Human! Thought Amy said that Chloe told him she couldn't see him anymore, and just yesterday she told me that what had happened between us meant something to her. I feel my heart shattering while I watch them laugh and joke. I can't take it anymore so I go home, where I know Valentina is out at one of her meetings and Jasmine is out on a date with –what was his name...- oh yea Zane.

I light a fire in the fireplace, sit in front of it...and just think. Think of Chloe. Hell she is all I ever think about! I thought about her before she even turned mai, when I first started noticing her, I always thought she was beautiful, but never talked to her due to what I felt I had to do in order to keep my friends on the basketball team. They were the only thing human I had to me these days. But now I talk to her all the time in school, whether we are fighting or just socializing. Either way people ask questions, "Are you guys dating?" "Do you like her?" I couldn't answer them honestly because I didn't want it getting back to Chloe. Now I don't care.

Knowing Valentina and Jasmine wouldn't be back for a while, I grabbed a duffle bag, packs clothes and nesseciaties that I knew I would need, wrote a note to Jasmine and Valentina, grabbed my keys, and left. I don't know where I am going, all I know is I have to get out of here for a while, away from Chloe, Amy, Paul, Jasmine and Valentina. My grades in school were excellent so I don't have to worry about that right now. I put my bag in the back seat, start the car driving towards my unknown destination.

Chloe's Pov-

Talking to Brian made me feel weird these days. Ever since everything with Alek happened, talking to Brian or even being around him feels weird and unright. Like it doesn't belong, but while we were talking about his mom, could have sworn I saw Alek standing in the window looking extremely depressed about something. Looked away for a second back at Brian so he wouldn't get suspicious then looked back and what I suspect to be Alek was gone. It could have been Alek knowing how fast he runs. After Brian had left the shop, after telling me about everything he found in storage, which was all his mothers his dad had put away without him knowing, I continued working until Lana told me to go home. As I was walking I couldn't help but wonder where Alek was. He usually pops out of no where to walk to my front door with me then up through my window. I was a little worried but then remember that Alek is a lot stronger and more experience then me and he would be fine. He was probably watching from afar.

I soon got home and notices a note on the table from my mom. It said "Hey kiddo, got sent out on a last minute business trip with Frank to New York for a while, don't know how long exactly but I will be calling you all the time and when I find out. Love you. Mom." Great, home alone relaxes me so much, but scares me a little bit when I realize Alek still hadn't made an appearance. I was starting to get worried so I wrote a mental note to call Jasmine after I took a shower.

I cleaned up and got dressed then walked back into my room only to have a heart attack seeing Jasmine sitting on my bed panicking.
"Jasmine, whats wrong and wheres Alek?" I asked her, freaking out now on the inside.
She didn't say anything, just stared at a piece of paper in her hand unable to speak. She handed the paper to me and I read it carefully.

"Jasmine,
I know your probably on cloud nine right now, and the last thing I want is to worry you after what im sure was an amazing night for you. Don't worry about me. Some stuff happened that I really don't want to deal with right now, and you know me. When I get scared or hurt, my first instinct is to run. I know you are probably upset right now seeing as you think no one is watching Chloe. That's not the case. I sent another Mai to watch her until you got back. Don't call me or text me because I wont tell you were I am and why I left, even though you can probably figure that out yourself. I'll talk to you when I get back. Tell Valentina too. I'll be expecting her wise words when I return.
Love you cuz.
Alek."

I couldn't believe what I was reading! Alek had ran away! My eyes starting watering up with tears and I was speechless. I look back at Jasmine and handed her back the note.
"I already tried calling him. He didn't answer. He must really be hurt." Jasmine stated looking and rereading the note again. I look at her confused and ask "Hurt? What are you talking about?"
"He only runs away when he gets scared, or heartbroken. Which has only happened once before. You must have really hurt him Chloe in order for him to do this." Jasmine said, now standing up from my bed walking towards my door, and since my mom was gone, I didn't have to worry about getting in trouble. "Its going to be my job to watch over you now until he decided to come back. I'll sleep on the couch." She said about to leave my room. "Wait!" I called out making her freeze. "What do you mean whenever he decides to come back? And I hurt him? I don't understand."
Jasmine looks at Chloe in disbelief! "When he kissed you that night Chloe, Alek was saying what he has always wanted to say. And since he couldn't find the words he used actions. And he must have heard something or saw something he didn't like and ran not knowing what else to do." Jasmine said sadly.
Oh. My. God. That was Alek that was there today! I knew it! He must think I want Brian again. I know I cant have him, and I don't want him. I want Alek! "Do you have any idea where he could have went Jasmine. At all?" "There is this place in San Fransico, but you never know with Alek. He is unpredictable." And with that she walked out of my room and into the hallway.
