I haven't written on fanfiction in a very long time, and I am happy that I have gotten inspiration from The Nine Lives of Chloe King, the new show on ABC Family, to create a sort of version of what I want for Chloe and Alek, etc. I don't own any of the characters from the show unless I add my own characters. I hope you enjoy, and it starts from the last episode I have seen which is Dogs of War, episode 7. Some of the scenes are also related to the sneak peeks of next tuesday's show. Please tell me how you like it.

Chloe heard a knock on the back porch door and looked at it strangely as she walked over to peer outside. Alek stood at the foot of the cement stairs looking out into the dark. She closed the door behind her turning to look at his in thought expression.

"Alek?" she asked confused at his presence on her porch. He turned to look at her quickly as if he hadn't expected her. She took the short steps to where he was as he turned his face away from hers a little uncertain.

"What's wrong?" Chloe questioned at his out of character state. He continued not to make eye contact or respond to her question.

"Are you okay?" she tried to ask again with full concern on her face. His face was slanted looking not at her, but past her as if he was nervous. She continued to study him as he slowly turned his head to face her. Chloe raised her eyebrows as if repeating her question silently. He moved closer to her looking from her eyes to her lips and back.

"We belong together," Alek whispered before he gripped her waist, and pulled their lips together. To his surprise, Chloe kissed back with just as much intensity but uncertainty. They pulled back from each other to gasp for air while they stared into each others eyes, and then Chloe pulling him in again. She had this sense of passion she didn't expect to feel with Alek. She always thought this moment would be with Brian, but after the turn of events and the curse. The only one she ever really had was Alek, and why shouldn't she seriously consider him after all he has done for her. Protecting her from the Order and looking after her mother all night like she asked. However as she continued to ponder and think about the situation with Brian, she pushed Alek softly separating them with the length of her arm. He looked at her confused and hurt.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a concern and a hint of uncertainty. Tears began to roll down her face, and sobs choked her. Alek reached to wipe her tears but she pushed his hand aside.

"I don't know if I can do this, Alek. Not now," she said. She looked up at him and jealousy crossed his smooth hard angled face as he realized why. Her feelings for Brian has always gotten in the way creating a barrier between them, but she didn't let him say it. She ran climbing to the rooftops of houses and getting as far away as she could. When she no longer could breathe, Chloe sat on the edge of a blue roofed house a mile away looking at the stars wishing them to take her pain away. Wishing for them to make her forget all about Brian and to be happy, possibly with Alek.

A woman screams in the distance clearly audible with the help of super hearing. Chloe stood following the sound to an alleyway. A man was struggling with a brunette grabbing for a bookbag. He pushed her aside heading for the entrance of the alley stopping at Chloe's presence.

"I'm pretty sure that's not yours," she said as he came towards her. She pushed him against the wall knocking him to the floor. He dropped the bag as he fell. She picked it up walking over to the lady.

"Are you okay?" she asked as the lady unexpectedly slapped her with much force grabbing at the bag. She released her hold when she heard the sirens of the police cars ripping the bag open as she and the man ran away. Chloe was left confused with jewelry scattered around her. The headlights of the cop car made them glitter blinding her.

"Freeze!" a police officer yelled at Chloe's tense frame as her hands flew up into the air in surrender. They took her by the arm leading her into the car asking her where she lived. She told them like any good teenage girl who happened to be terrified. They arrived to her house shortly. She looked at the house with regret as they held onto her tightly, knocking on the front door. Her mother opened the door in shock to see Chloe and the police together.

"Chloe?" her mother said with such confusion.

"Madam, is this your daughter?"

"Yes, it is. What is going on here?"

"Well, we found her in an alley with a bookbag filled of gold jewelry. At the time, we were looking for thieves, a man and a woman."

"What?"

"We found her in an alley..."

"No, I understand. Thank you," she said with much anger in her voice leading Chloe into the house while shutting the door.

"What has gotten into you? First, all the guys and going out a lot and now this. I was fine with the regular teenage things, but this. This is not good. I'm so disappointed in you, Chloe."

"But mom, I didn't..."

"Oh really? You didn't then why were you escorted back into the house by police officers. Chloe, this isn't a game. You did a crime. A serious one at that."

"Mom, I didn't steal anything... I went to go see Alek and on the way I heard this girl scream. She was fighting with a guy for the bag. I was just trying to help," she sighed feeling defeated. Her mother was never going to believe her especially not now. Lately, she has lacked in the trusting area when it comes to the truth.

"We will talk about this in the morning. Right now get some sleep," her mother left her alone in an angry rush banging her door a little. More tears fell down Chloe's face as she walked slowly up the stairs and quietly closing her door.

The sun shone on her face blinding her sensitive eyes. She slightly opened one to see that the curtains were drawn open wide. She searched around the room for a raging big eyed mother with her arms on her hips, but there was no sight of her. Chloe closed her eyes while sitting up closely listening to everything in the house. No sound but the refrigerator and the buzzing of all the electronics. However to be sure, She pulled the pink/purple sheet off of her and walked down the carpeted steps barefoot. Her blood began to rush down in her veins making her wobble for a second. She slowly peered into the kitchen making sure, if she was here she wouldn't see her. She wanted nothing, but to avoid the giant argument she knew was close to come. She searched slowly covering every inch on the house. Her mother was nowhere to be seen. She was relieved to skip on that confrontation, but knew there was one more to deal with. She ran up her stairs and got ready for school.

The halls were crowded as she struggled to walk through without touching anyone. She searched like she had this morning. Stopping when she saw Alek sitting on the window ledge as calm as ever. She walked over knowing he knew she was coming.

"Hey," there was silence, but at least he turned to look at her. She was afraid he would not want to talk or even seen her face ever again.

"How's your cheek?"

"Fine. You'd be surprised to know it attracts the ladies," he said smug watching a peppy girl walk by, and made eye contact with a quick wink. She giggled and rushed on. Chloe couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Can we talk...about last night?"

"I'm listening."

"No. I mean both of us. You talk. I talk."

"I made my feelings fairly clear so there is nothing to talk about," he said picking up his books and rushing past her.

"I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean to."

"Don't flatter yourself," he scoffed with diamond hard eyes.

"It's just going so fast. I mean a day ago is when I told Brian I couldn't see him again. It broke my heart, but I knew I had to do it."

"Well it looks like you decided that a little to late."

"Alek, please. I don't need this attitude right now. I've been going through a rough patch, and I almost got arrested last night..."

"What? Arrested?"

"Yeah, but I didn't do whatever they think I did so they brought me home. My mother was furious, and I tried to explain but she wouldn't listen and ..." She began to struggle trying to hold back tears. She has had enough with her show of weakness. Alek's hand shot up to smooth away her wrinkled eyes. She looked up at him and his hard eyes a second ago melted with warmth. They stood together staring at each other. He looked as if he was deciding and was unsure of his actions, but it faded when he leaned in to kiss her forehead and disappear in the crowd. She stood alone her body lacking his close warmth seconds ago.
