"Chloe!" Alek yelled after me as I was walking to home from school, I was physically and emotionally drained, although that was pretty normal these days, and had called Lana telling her I was taking my day off. At first I decided to just ignore it and he would go away and I would be able to take a nap instead of having to deal with the new form of training he no doubt had in store for me, but that idea fell through we he ran up to me. Damn. "Chloe why didn't you answer me? What if something had happened?"
"Alek I'm tired, no exhausted, and I knew nothing was wrong, I would have been able to hear it in your voice if something was up. I'm sorry okay but right now I really really really need a nap and a nice hot shower and maybe a cup of coffee, can you please get on my case about not being attentive after that? Please?" I asked. I knew I was whining but seriously today hadn't been the best day, made all the worse by the fact that health today made me question my relationship with Alek. And I really wasn't up to dealing with whatever it was Alek wanted me to deal with right now.
"Fine. Sorry Chloe, we can do this later I guess, maybe this wasn't my best idea. I I'll talk to you later kay?" He told me as he started walking away. Shit I didn't want to deal with anything right now but I didn't mean to make him upset either I'm sure his day was just as bad as mine.
"Shit! Alek wait!" I yelled after him as he started walking away.
"Chloe, it's fine I can tell you don't want to talk I'll come by later okay?"
"No, Alek wait please. I'm sorry today just has really really sucked and I don't know I'm taking it out on you and I shouldn't I;m sure your day wasn't to great either." I felt terrible about making his day any worse and I could tell I upset him earlier. God I always feel so guilty when I upset him, knowing that I'm just one more thing he has to deal with, when I do.
"Hey come here," I shake my head no as tears start to well up in my eyes, none fall but I know they are close, "Chloe come on" he says again this time pulling me into the hug and not letting me say no. "Hey sh sh it's gonna be okay, everything will be okay," he soothes while wiping the tears from my face. "come on lets get you home we're almost there now." he says as he leads me back to the apartment we now share. It was funny how since everything that had happened on that terrible night things had turned out. I lived with my boyfriend which if any of the humans at the school ever found out I'm sure would cause tons of rumors, but really we were all we had left, and it wasn't like we lived there alone. We shared the apartment with a man named Lawrence he was the leader of the mai here in San Francisco now that they were dead, and according to Alek he had always acted like a father towards Jasmine and him. "Chloe we're here hun" I heard Alek say breaking me from my thoughts. I was still clutching to his chest as he walked me in and we got in the elevator. I could tell he was worried about me, it had been a while since I had been quite this emotion and I knew that scared him. When we got into the apartment Alek lead me to our room gave me a quick peck on the lips before saying, " Chlo go take a shower okay. I can tell your upset and have had a long day maybe that will help you relax okay?" I nodded my head and went to go get my shower leaving the door unlocked like always in case something happened or Alek needed to get in here.
Okay so I know this chapter is kinda short and I'm really sorry but I've been really busy. I'm probably going to post the next chapter later tonight but I'm not positive yet. I've also had a couple other ideas for some stories and I don't know which one I should do first so review and tell me which idea you like the best:
She needed to go, she needed to get out of here and not look back, she needed to get out of this place with so many bad memories, and she could tell he needed to too. That was why she was currently sitting in here room packing a suitcase full of anything and everything she might need and writing a note to her mother to explain. She knew her mother would be worried but she needed this, she needed this summer to escape, they both did.
"Alek, what happened last night?" she asked when she woke up, staring at me, and the way she was looking at me I knew I couldn't tell her, so I lied. "I have no idea all I remember is going to that club and trying to forget." was my simple reply, bot a complete lie, but also not the whole truth. We did go to a club last night, but it wasn't me that was trying to forget, it was her. And when she had drunkenly asked me to make her forget it last night, I hadn't been able to say no.
I am Chloe King, a sixteen year old girl. I am also Chloe King, the uniter of an ancient race called the mai. It's my job to save us all, but sometimes I wonder who's going to save me.
So these are my ideas please please please review and tell me what you think and also how you think the conversation with Alek and Chloe should go in this story... reviews make me super happy :) Oh and thank you to Alanna-Banana1987 for being my first reviewer!
