Hard to find a way to get through
It's a tragedy
Pulling at me like the stars do
You're like gravity
Even if the wind blows
It makes it hard to believe
'My name is Alek Petrov, and I'm undeniably in love with Chloe King'. Admitting it to myself didn't make it any easier to handle like I thought it would. I remained perched on Chloe's roof watching out for danger and listening to her steady, sleeping heartbeat underneath me. Suddenly, I just couldn't take it anymore. The want I felt for Chloe was almost unbearable, and I just needed her to know.
How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
And If you lost your way
I will keep you safe
We'll open up all the world inside
I see it come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
I slipped down and knocked on her window. I saw her sleeping form stir in her bed, but not awaken. I tapped slightly louder, and got a response. She sat up quickly, looking around in a panic. I tapped again so she could see where I was. Once she recognized me I heard her heartbeat slow down, and her expression of panic turned into one of annoyance. She reluctantly dragged herself out of the covers and came to open the window.
"What, Alek?" She hissed. I smirked.
"Feisty tonight, are we?" I teased. She rolled her eyes and turned on her heel, stalking back to her bed. I found that as an invitation to slip in. Taking a few steps forward, I launched myself onto her bed resulting in a look of pure disgust from her.
"Alek, you'll wake my mom!" She warned. I put my hands up to say 'Guilty!'.
"What could you possibly want at," she hesitated to look at the digital clock on her bedside table, "3:24 in the morning?"
"Well," I began, "I wanted to tell you something!"
"Something that couldn't wait until the morning?" she snarled.
"Yes."
Doesn't even matter to you
To see what I can see
I'm crawling on the floor to reach you
I'm a wreck you see
When you're far from home now
Makes it hard to believe
"Chloe, it's something I need to say now. I can't keep putting it off," I said with all seriousness. She sensed my tone, and her irritated expression turned to one of compassion.
"What is it?" Chloe whispered timidly, her beautiful green eyes glimmering with curiosity.
So how ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
If you've lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all your world inside
Til you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
We all fall down
We all feel down
Cus rainy days and summer highs
The more we pray the more we feel alive
I totally chickened out. I can't say 'I love you, Chloe King.' I can't do it.
"I just want you to know that I will always be here for you. And I want you to know this, and you better remember it: I don't just watch out for you because I have to, I do it because I want to. I care about you a lot, King," I smirked to try and lighten the mood.
She looked at me and her confused expression twisted into a smile.
"Alek," she said, and I saw tears running down her cheeks.
"Oh no, Chloe, don't cry! I didn't mean to upset you, I'm sorry," I floundered. I kept on going before she interrupted me.
"Alek, thank you," she whispered. I stood up with a huge smile on my face and padded quietly back toward the window.
"Goodnight, King," I murmured before hopping back up onto the roof.
Very, very faintly I heard her soft voice grumble, "Love you, Petrov."
