Hey Guys excited for chapter 3? I am! Alright here it is
DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Nine Lives of Chloe King, just a mind and a computer.
Previously on The Ending to a New Beginning:
Chloe's tears are discovered to be some kind of healing medicine to the Mai, and Jasmine is saved. However, it was too late for Valentina. Chloe tells Alek everything that happened between the Order being her fake dad, meeting the Order at the theater, how she was shot, and how Brian "kissed" her, and barely survived. Alek agrees to go visit Brian at the hospital with Chloe.
Chloe's POV
At the Hospital
I grabbed Brian's hand and layed my head on his arm. Alek sat in the chair looking as if he was in pain.
"Alek, are you okay?"
" -Clears Throat- Um yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
I wasn't convinced. "Alek I see it in your face. What's wrong?"
"Ugh, it's getting late. Let's get you home," He started to storm out angrily.
I looked up at Brian. "I'll be here tomorrow. Get better," and stroked his face.
I heard Alek take a sigh a deep breath. Then it hit me. He's upset by seeing me with Brian.
I caught up with Alek, as he barged through the hospital doors.
"What's the matter with you!" I asked pulling his shoulder around, so he was facing me.
"It's just Hard, okay. Seeing you with him, and not knowing if we'll ever..." He paused.
"If we'll ever what, Alek?"
"Just, just nevermind" He started walking away again.
'' Alek!" I ran up in front of him. " You know I care about you. Earlier yesterday, I'm so sorry about what happened. I like you a lot, but I'm really not sure what I feel. Me and Brian can't ever be together. Yeah, he survived the kiss, but look what it did to him." Tear's started to sneak out of my eyes.
'' Chloe, you don't understand. It doesn't change anything. You said you love him -"
"But I" I started.
Alek cut in," Like I said, I want you to choose me not because I'm the only option."
" I'm NOT CHOOSING ANYONE"
"Yah well, you pretty much did," Alek's voice started to give out. "Let's just get you home. It's almost past your curfew."
It was easy to see he was angry.
I stormed off toward my house. Ugh he doesn't understand. I like him, yet I don't know. I don't know what I feel about either of them.
Alek walked me up to my steps. I looked into his adorable dark brown eyes.
" I'm...sorry" I whispered.
He looked down and sighed as he turned away.
I walked in.
" Your home late. Did you walk home by yourself?" My mom asked from the living room.
"No Alek walked me home"
"Ooh! Alek! Tell me all about it!"
I heard a chuckle from outside. Alek. Just love Mai super hearing.
Chloe's POV
Next Day
- Alarm going off -
I slammed the snooze button down.
"Alek?"
No response. Hmm that's odd. He's usually always here in the morning.
Got up, did my daily morning shower. Slipped on my denim bootcut jeans, white camisole, red and dark brown plaid overcoat and my favorite dark brown moccasin type shoes. Make-up: Done. Hair: Scrunched with a white headband.
Now off for my usual coffee...
I turned the corner and froze to see Alek at the coffee shope with another girl. MiMi? Yes, definitely her from before. I was filled with...jealousy. I had no idea why, but I didn't like seeing him with another girl.
"Hey! Chloe" Alek waved his hand over. Oh No. I walked over slowly.
"Uh, Hi Alek."
"Chloe, you remember MiMi? Alek seemed to have his usually cocky tone back in his voice. Weird though, because I noticed when it's just me and him, he's not usually cocky at all.
"O yes, of course. Yeah I remember MiMi"
MiMi shot me a snotty glance. Alek gave MiMi a mischievous look look then looked up at me.
"Well uh, Better get off to school"
Thank You School! Got me out of an awkward situation.
Lunch Time
I sat down with Amy, Jasmine and Paul at our usual lunch table and filled all three in on everything that happened at the theater and Brian. Jasmine told us everything with Zane and how Alek told her that Zane said he's Alek's brother.
Alek never told me.
The whole time, I kept glancing at him every now and then. I couldn't help it. Usually he sits with us, but not today. He's with MiMi :P acting all flirty.
Amy noticed me looking at him and smiled.
"Chloe come here. We gotta talk."
She got up and led me to the girls bathroom.
"Chloe, you're lying to yourself."
" What? What do you mean?"
" I see how you look at him"
She did catch me. I looked down nervously.
"And how he looks like every ten seconds," She giggled. "You guys are so cute. You admitted it yourself, You like him, and we all know he likes you,"Amy smiled.
"Honestly, I'm so confused right now. I don't know what I feel, but I think I..."
" You think?" Amy asked anxiously.
"I like Alek...a lot. There I said it. Again"
"Eek! Then date him!" She said jumping up and down.
"He's got MiMi and...Brian. I don't know what to do. I'm torn between them. I know I can never be with with Brian. I mean look at what I did to him. It'll take him years to fully recover, but I can't change the way I feel about Brian and I wish I could."
"Well, Chloe you can fight for Alek just like he does for you. I think we're done here. Just, Alek is so sexy, and cute. He's always there for you , care's for you, looks at you. Just everything. Oh and that British accent, Yummy! Think it over. You'll find out what you really feel." Amy said as she opened the door to leave.
I followed her out and stood in the hallway thinking. She went back to the lunchroom.
Leaning up on the lockers, I went into deep thought.
"Chloe?"
I came back into reality. "Alek?"
"What are you doing out here?"
"Ugh...nothing"
" Yah sure. Thinking about how my accent's "yummy"" he smirked, leaning in, getting even closer, like he always does.
Ooh um awkward subject...what can I talk about...
" Your close talking again..." I said trying to change the subject.
" Mhm," Alek came even closer.
"Ugh, actually I've been wanting to ask if you could watch my mom tonight?"
That'll change it.
"I'll just have Jasmine do it" Alek said.
"Please. You know it makes me feel better when you're there," I pouted, leaning in and batting my eyelashes, trying to sucker him in. Stupid, but worth a try.
'' Chloe, I..." He paused, looking at me. Then put his hand on the locker, cornering me in. " I was going out with MiMi tonight."
" Oh..It's okay. Just, I'll ask Jasmine," I frowned. It bothered me. He noticed.
" I'm sorry. I can cancel. I'll cancel."
Pay back...
"No no, it's fine. I was just going to see Brian."
I saw him clench his teeth, getting as bothered as I was before.
"Ugh Alek!" MiMi whined. "What are you Doing?"
Uh Oh. MiMi caught them...wonder what happens now? Chapter 4 will be up tomorrow. Please review. What did you think and do you think will happen?
