Well this is my second fanfic ever, and I don't think I'm going to be doing much more, if any, on my old story. I'm bored with it. I think this one will be better but I need ideas for it. When I don't get reviews…I don't want to update. I'm not quite sure on whether this will be third person, or a mix between third person and first person. This story is going to start off from episode seven. Then it quickly turns into my story.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Nine Lives of Chloe King, if I did, I wouldn't be here right now. I would brainstorming some conclusion to Brain. He would have some last and final episode coming up, then he would be gone from Chloe's life, forever. Leaving her with the one and only…
"You like her," Amy told him. Neither of them were paying attention to Paul who was fiddling with some artifact, behind them. Paul didn't hear her say the obvious, she barely heard herself. Alek didn't deny it. He couldn't look at her though, he turned his head away, searching the room around him for a distraction.
Jasmine walked in, she was surprised to see the Uniter's two best friends standing in her living room. Curiosity struck her face and her eyebrows looked puzzled. "What are you two doing here?" She questioned.
Alek looked relieved, he had no possible thing to say to Amy. Jasmine was going to be his distraction to void the scene. He thumped over to the chair which held his jacket. He grabbed it and stormed towards the door, calling back, "Good. They're all yours." And he was gone. His shift was about to begin. Chloe was getting off work and he was supposed to meet her there and walk her home. It wasn't unusual, because he did this sort of thing daily. This time was different, though. This time he wouldn't be able to push her to the back of his mind. This time, he was going to have to fight the urge not to pin her to a wall and kiss her. This time, he couldn't lie to himself and tell himself that he didn't like her. Because this time, Amy had realized the truth, forcing him to realize it, too.
Back at the condo, Jasmine starred at Amy. They both looked at each other not saying a word. They were becoming friends now, due to Chloe. They wouldn't consider themselves best friends, but friends at the least. Neither of them spoke about Alek, or their presence, or about anything. Jasmine jumped when Paul dropped some precious weapon. Jasmine's immediate attention turned to him. His eyes got wide and worry claimed territory on his face.
"Oops," he faked a smile, bending down to pick up the item. It wasn't scratched but he knew that it should have been. He gently set it back in its place, walking over to Amy's side. They had gotten back together once Amy forgave him for the whole sex thing. She decided to give him another chance after he saved her from the poker scare.
Jasmine decided that the uneasy silence was broken and she began to talk, of course about the upset British boy that stormed out of the condo moments ago.
"What was wrong with him?" She asked, hoping for the answer. Amy decided that it wasn't her business to share. She only knew, because of his reaction, that it was true. Alek liked Chloe. She had always had a hunch, but she had just told herself that it had to be a Mai thing. All along she had been wrong. She kicked herself for not realizing it. She was normally really good at picking up on these sort of things. Anyway, she knew that she couldn't tell anyone, not even Chloe, about her find. As much as she wanted to share, it wasn't hers to share. She knew that it would be better if she stayed out of it.
"I don't know." She answered, hoping to drop the subject. Jasmine wasn't one that was going to pry all the details from her, she knew that. The look on Jasmine's face said that she didn't believe that, but she was going to leave it be.
"I think we should get going, bye Jasmine." Paul said, grabbing Amy's hand and towing her behind him, out the door. They got on the elevator and hurried down. When they glanced at each other, they both saw surprise in each others eyes. Paul was surprised that he hadn't been scolded for dropping the priceless artifact, Amy for knowing a secret that wasn't hers to tell. They both decided that it was best to not speak about what had happened to the both of them. They just went to Amy's house, to finish up the rest of their homework.
Alek walked slowly to Chloe's work, since he still had a little time before she got off. He wondered how Amy had known. Sure she knew Chloe forever, but she hadn't known him all that long. Not many people were able to pick up on Alek's emotions, those who could would never snoop in his life. People like Jasmine, and Valentina. Amy surely couldn't have read his emotions.
He kept having a hard time admitting it to himself. Yes. He did, indeed, have a crush on Chloe. Except for the fact that they were Mai and it was sure to be more than just a crush. The only problem was that he knew that Chloe hadn't felt the same way. She might have felt the same way about Brain, but definitely not about him. Chloe King did not like him. As much as he wished she did, she didn't.
The worst part was that he couldn't talk to anybody about it. Valentina would have told him that it wasn't a good time to get his emotions mixed up and distract himself, or Chloe, if they dated. Jasmine would have said something similar, but in a nicer way. His so called friends from school, would have teased him. Amy would run and tell Chloe. Paul, well Paul wouldn't let him finish without having some stupid Mai question that was sure to annoy Alek. And that left Chloe. He was sure that she hurt him by saying that she didn't like him. She would say that she liked him as a friend, but nothing more. She liked Brain.
It annoyed Alek how she even dared to waste time with that human. It had always annoyed him. Brain could never care for her, he couldn't even kiss her. He was also in college, and way too old for Chloe. He could never physically be with Chloe. He could never kiss her, give her a family, or understand her on a level that Alek could. Alek realized that he felt this way for a while. It wasn't because he hated humans, after all he was raised by some himself. He was jealous. Alek was jealous of Brain because he was closer to Chloe. Chloe liked him.
Alek was walking up to the old clothing store when he saw Chloe. She had gotten out of work early and had began her walk home, where she was sure to bump into her protector sooner or later.
"Hey," she called out to Alek. He wasn't going to waste his time dreaming about Chloe, because she wasn't dreaming back. She was dreaming about Brain. It was pointless to dream about a girl he couldn't have. So he decided to play it off as if nobody knew about his crush. Not him, and not Amy. Nobody. He mustered up some courage some courage to say hello back, in a friendly way, but it came out angry.
"What are you doing walking the streets alone?" He nearly yelled at her. She wasn't surprised, because this was just another typical day with Alek.
