Second song-fic! Hope it turned out fine…I know…I should be updating my other stories. My Plot Bunnies are little buggers though. Grr…

The racks inside the cozy little shop looked neat and tidy. Chloe blew her hair out of her face and smiled at her handiwork. She headed back to her desk where Lana was filling in next month's clothing orders. Her iPod was on and her earphones were plugged in again.

"I love that song! Can you turn it up?" Chloe asked cheerfully.

"Alright…I'll never figure out how you do that." she said, plugging her iPod into the dock connected to the store speakers.

Amy hurried into the store, more excited than her usual hyper self.

"Look-look-look-looooooook-at-what-Paul-left-me-on-my-bed!" she squealed in a rush. To Chloe, it sounded like Amy was going "Meow meow meow meow meow…"

"I'm sorry, what?" Chloe asked, interrupting her.

"Paul left me a love letter on my bed yesterday after our study session," she squealed again. Chloe winced, her sensitive ears hurt.

"Wait, what happened to Jonah?" Chloe asked. Amy just stared at her.
"He almost got me killed. Plus, he was cheating. I don't like cheaters." Amy said, as if she was talking to a 2nd grader. Before Chloe got a chance to reply, Paul walked in. Amy ran up in her little booted heels and pecked Paul on the lips. "Want some coffee Chloe? Paul and I are going to go get some."

"No, its fine…have a good time." Chloe replied. Paul and Amy then walked off to the coffee shop next door and sat down. Amy's head rested in Paul's shoulder as they talked about something that Chloe didn't have the energy to listen into.

The song that she had had Lana turn up louder had ended and a new one was playing. One she had never heard before.

She read me the note he left on her bed
Snuck in her room right after she left
And put petals on the ground
Her head on his shoulder they walk down the hall
I'm left to wonder will I ever fall in love
And where is he now

'Hmm…how true…that just happened…' Chloe thought as she made her way to the clothes piling up in the dressing rooms. Amy's laughter rang through the store and Chloe winced at the pain in her chest. 'Am I a third wheel now?'

She's with him, I'm in the back seat
Know it's not right but it hurts when they're laughing
And I've never been where they are

I wanna be blown away
I wanna be swept off my feet
I wanna meet the one who makes it hard for me to breathe
I wanna be lost in love
I wanna be your dream come true
I wanna be scared of how strong I feel for you
Just call me beautiful, Call me beautiful
Call me beautiful, Call me b-e-a-utiful

Then Chloe started thinking about Brian. Why couldn't she just forget about him. He was a human and it would never work out. Besides, they were just friends. She never got butterflies in her stomach when she was with Brian. They probably just weren't meant to be.

Everyone is in a relationship…with their own kind. Even Alek was going out with that Mimi girl. Last Friday had been the Pep Rally and the basketball team had been playing. Mimi had worn his jersey to the game, sitting in the front row, cheering him on. It seemed as if everyone in the gym had been holding hands with someone.

Friday night she wore his jersey to the game
In the front row screamin out his name
As he turns to her and smiles
Everywhere I look people holding hands
When am I gonna get my chance at love
My chance at love

Cuz she's with him, I'm still hurting
Try to pretend but it's not working
I just wanna be where they are

'Huh…correct again.' Chloe thought glumly. She wanted someone to hold her when she was down, someone to understand her, someone that she could love without consequences.

I wanna be blown away
I wanna be swept off my feet
I wanna meet the one who makes it hard for me to breathe
I wanna be lost in love
I wanna be your dream come true
I wanna be scared of how strong I feel for you
Just call me beautiful, Call me beautiful
Call me beautiful, Call me b-e-a-utiful

Why was the fact that Mimi and Alek dating making her heart ache. Could she possibly…no…

My heart is waiting for your love
My hand is waiting for your touch
My lips just wanna be kissed by you

Chloe wasn't sure who "you" was yet. But she had a person in mind. She was just afraid to admit it to herself.

I wanna be blown away
I wanna be swept off my feet
I wanna meet the one who makes it hard for me to breathe
I wanna be lost in love
I wanna be your dream come true
I wanna be scared of how strong I feel for you
Just call me beautiful, Call me beautiful
Call me beautiful, Call me b-e-a-utiful

The door to the shop opened and Chloe looked up from her work to see who it was. It was Alek, standing there waiting to take her to training. Chloe stood up and started to walk over to Alek then froze in her tracks.

Beautiful, Call me beautiful
Call me beautiful, Call me b-e-a-utiful

Chloe felt butterflies…
