The end is a bit fluffy I think. Let me know if you think I should continue this otherwise I'm probably going to end it here with this chapter although I do have a few more ideas. Anyway, it'll be at least a week before I get another chapter up if I decide to. So.. please please please review!

It was a few minutes after school had ended for the day and Chloe hadn't seen Alek at all, gladly. Sure, she'd seen Jasmine and told her that it hadn't worked, and she'd been told that he was at school.

The hallways had basically cleared out. Only a few other people were still there, but they were way at the opposite end of the hallway. Chloe shoved her books into her bag and looked back into her locker, checking to make sure she hadn't left anything behind.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from right next to her and her locker door slammed closed. Nearly simultaneously, she heard this: "What the hell was that about?"

Chloe turned to look at the blonde Brit who was shouting at her. "What?" she snapped.

"The little ordeal last night! Yeah, I saw it. What the fuck was Neil doing in your room making out with you?" His eyes were wide as he searched her face.

"Jasmine introduced us and I decided I like him. You haven't been around, so I figured whatever we had was over." She flipped a lock of her hair over her shoulder. "Because you obviously don't care enough to watch over me or even care that assassins could've broken in. And because of that, I don't think I want you to watch over me anymore."

His eyes shut for a split second and when they opened, they were the green of cat eyes. "Maybe I just don't want to watch over you every second of every night and day, seeing as how you're a danger magnet. Ever think of that, Chloe King?" Then he turned on his heel and stormed out the school doors.

"Jerk." Chloe whispered, tears leaking out of her eyes. She wiped them away and headed to work.

...

"Why don't you go home a little early, Chloe?" Lana said at about 5:30. "Not only do you look terrible, but on the radio they're saying that a big storm is coming. I want you home and safe before it hits."

"Alright," the Uniter gathered her things and rushed out the door tossing a "Bye, Lana!" over her shoulder. She was halfway home when her cell phone rang. It was her mom. She ignored it figuring that if it was important she'd leave a message. Which Meredith did.

"Chloe, pick up your phone next time! A meeting came up. It's in San Diego and I'll be there all day tomorrow and I'll come home the day after that. I'm leaving some money in the usual spot and I can trust you right? Yeah, okay, well I love you, see you in two days. Oh! And don't forget about -"

Chloe hit the 'end' button and continued on her way. When she arrived home, the first thing that she did was turn on the TV to the news. The meteorologist was standing in front of the weather map and she could see a huge thunder storm was almost on top of them.

So, the blonde made dinner for herself and ate it quickly. She was nervous; Chloe King absolutely detests storms. Especially the ones with lots of lightning and immensely loud thunder. So when the clock chimed 6:30, Chloe was in her mom's bed, wrapped up in the sheets. The TV was on, but it wasn't a very good distraction.

It had only just begun to sprinkle when she heard the first low rumble of what was unmistakably thunder. That didn't bother her too terribly much. But within minutes the storm had intensified. Figuring that the television and the bedroom weren't working, Chloe scrambled back to her own room where she basically hid under her covers.

She cringed with every boom and roar and flash that the storm caused. And, according to the radio station and the ridiculous-sounding weatherman, this wasn't anywhere near the height of the storm.

Even with her eyes closed under all of the sheets on her bed, she still saw the next flash of lightning and the frighteningly near-sounding thunder clap. Chloe yelped, curled up into a tiny ball, clutching a blanket. A couple tears streamed down her face.

In the seconds of silence that followed, she heard a clack! noise. Her window! As badly as she knew she should check to see who had entered her bedroom, she couldn't do it. But it soon became apparent.

"Shhh!" said the accented voice. He began tugging her body out from the nest of crinkled blankets.

"Alek!" She sobbed, throwing her arms around his neck and burying her face into his shirt. "I'm so sorry about last night. I shouldn't have kissed Neil. I was only trying to make you jealous." She looked up into his eyes.

He leant down and kissed her softly, just the way she liked it. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored you like that." There was a loud thunderclap and she cringed, hugging him tight to her. "Earlier, I was mad at you, but I still have the duty to protect you. I do care about you, Chloe. That's why I came in here; I couldn't just leave you whimpering in her alone, could I?"

She only pulled him closer. "Well, thanks. And I really am sorry." A lightning bolt flashed bright across the sky and lit up her room. The female Mai laid her head down and started trying to sleep in the comfort of her Protector's arms.

He watched her while she slept, loving how she was cuddled up so close to him that someone would probably need the Jaws of Life to separate them. Alek comforted her when she whimpered at the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning until the storm subsided to nothing more than a faint rumbling in the distance.

By that time Chloe was deep asleep so he decided to fall asleep there with the sleeping angel he held in his arms.
