Chapter 3: She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

It has been a while since I've spoken to her. She liked me but I was in a relationship with Mimi at the time. Now she is eighteen. She is most definitely a beauty queen. I didn't know it was possible to be that beautiful. If I wasn't with Mimi a year ago, I most likely would have returned her feelings. She still trained with Jasmine, but not me. Jazz told me that she was having trouble when she started training without me.

Our pride got a new Mai a few months after Chloe's confession. He was instantly attracted to the Uniter, which totally pissed me off. Apparently, he was always there to help her. She always belonged to him, even if she didn't notice it.I didn't stand a chance anymore. They started dating and now she is over me. I wish she wasn't.

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I decided I needed a break away from thinking about Chloe. I drove for miles and miles, hours and hours, until I ran out of gas. I looked around at my surroundings, only to notice that I broke down, right in front of her house. I just sat there, thinking. Looking back, the signs of her liking me were there. I also remembered all the times that I wanted her. After not speaking to her for a year, I realize I want her even more. I can't live without her. My life has been hell since she started ignoring me.

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I didn't see Chloe come out of her house all weekend. I knew her mom wouldn't come out because she moved out and gave the house to Chloe to help her out. Yes, I spent everyday of the weekend, in my broken down car, waiting for her to come out. As it was starting to rain, I heard a timid, familiar voice call out to me, "Alek?"

"Chloe? I didn't see you come out." Stupid me.

"I spent the whole weekend at Amy's. What are you doing here anyway? How long have you been here?"

"My car ran out of gas in this exact spot three days ago, and I have been sitting here ever since," I said, sound a little like a stalker. When I looked at the slight smile on her face, it was broken. It wasn't the adorable smile I remember.

"Do you want to come in and stay awhile?" she asked.

"My tow truck should be here soon," I lied. I never called for a tow.

"Okay, then. Bye, it was nice seeing you again," and with that, she walked into her house.

A few minutes later, it was completely pouring. I still waited until I would see her again. I was sitting in my convertible getting drenched, since the top was down and wouldn't go up. I think I love her. No, I know I love her.

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

I had fallen asleep, still soaked to the bone. I am most likely going to be sick after this, but Chloe is worth it. As I was dreaming about the beautiful Chloe, I heard a knock on my car door. I'll admit, I can be pretty insecure, but that doesn't matter because right now, I was staring into the gorgeous pools of blue eyes that belonged to the girl I love.

"You want to come in now?" she asked me.

"Sure," I reluctantly agreed.

"So how come you lied about the tow truck?" Damn, I was caught.

"I don't know," I lied again. She smiled that broken smile again. "What's wrong? I know it's been a while, but I can still tell when you're upset."

"It's Peter." That's the guy she got over me with. He's the one who stole Chloe away.

"What did he do? Did he hurt you?" I asked in a rush.

"Alek?" she asked, calming me down. "He proposed."

My heart shattered. She's getting married? My Chloe, the love of my life is getting married to someone else.

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I guess life isn't about rainbows and butterflies. My life is not a fairytale. I know I need to talk to her. I need to show her that my heart is always open for her. She can come to me for anything.

"Don't be so nervous, Chloe. You can tell me anything."

"I said 'no,'" she said calmly. That caught me off guard.

"Why? I thought you love him," I said with pure confusion laced in my voice.

"That's what I thought, too. But then I realized, I'm in love with someone else." Is it possible for a heart to rise and fall at the same time? Is she talking about me or someone else? I prayed that it was me. "You know how I told you about a year ago that I was in love you?" I faintly nodded. Where is she going with this? "I never got over you." Before I could respond, her lips were on mine. I responded immediately, without hesitation. I have hoped this would happen for so long. I never thought it would actually happen…

Sparks were flowing everywhere. I wished the moment would last forever. A few seconds later, Chloe pulled away. She stared at me in shock and pulled away as fast as she could.

"I have to go," she rushed and raced out the door.

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

I always knew where she went when she was angry or embarrassed. She would hide in her car, the Kia Soul, and cry. I went to the garage attached to her house and saw her pretty blond hair flowing out the window. She was just sitting alone in her car. In the side view mirror, I saw tear tracks running down her beautiful face. She looked in the mirror, saw me and looked the other way again. "Go away, Alek," she called.

"No, we need to talk," I said softly. I went in through the passenger door, but she looked away again. "The last time you said, 'goodbye,' didn't mean anything. I never gave up on you. Sometimes, I would watch you from a distance just to make sure you were safe. I don't want to hear you say, 'goodbye,' for good." I rested my hands on her cheeks, pulled her close, and crashed my lips onto hers. She hesitantly kissed me back. When we pulled away, I touched my forehead to hers. "I just want to hear that you still love me, like I love you," I whispered.

I saw her icy blue eyes have a little extra sparkle to them. "I do," she whispered back. Little did I know that I would hear her say the same words, in a church, five years later.

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye

Tell me what you think
