"I'm going to be busy for awhile so Jasmine's going to be watching you" Oh wow, Alek didn't feel what I was feeling. That's probably the most disappointing thing that's happened in awhile.
"Oh...Okay that's...Cool" It wasn't cool, I'd put myself out there. Not as much as I could, but I did. That's why you don't gamble with feelings, reminding myself of the rules of liking someone. I don't know what hurt more, liking Brian but not being able to kiss him or anything. Or liking Alek and knowing he doesn't feel the same way. "Um, I think I should go home. My mom's probably waiting up" We returned to the silence that now had a purpose I was thinking about how I'd just let too much out.
"I was thinking about taking Mimi out" Alek said "Where should I take her?" What a jerk move. We were almost to my driveway.
"Stop" I said and he slammed on brakes, I walked out the car and ran into my house locking the door. I didn't see my mom downstairs so I ran upstairs and locked my window. I picked up my phone and dialed the first number that came to mind. "Hey. Paul, I need your help" It had to be past his curfew but he said he was on his way. That's what I liked about my friends, the orginal friends. I could count on them when I couldn't anyone else. I organized my thoughts and feelings. Alek liked Mimi, I liked Alek. I should get over Alek because Mimi liked Alek too. There was no room for Chloe in that equation.
Paul didn't come alone, he brought Amy. "How could you not call me?" Amy said and hugged me "Tell me everything" She thought this was good news.
"We have to get out of here" I told Amy, I didn't want little ears every where "Lose the guards and then we can talk"
"Oh that's easy" She laughed, as she hit the gas. It was like riding on the back of those motorcycles. My hair was flying every where. "So what's going on?" She asked.
"He likes Mimi" I loved the irony in this situation, I got the cat powers, the Uniter abilities along with boy troubles and the order coming after me.
"That sucks!" Amy said "Damn I was so sure"
"I was too. We had a great night right, we went to a moive and we got dinner and I told off Sabrina and now I'm here" I looked at Amy "He said he had to tell me something and I thought he was going to say he liked me or something. No he said he was going to be busy and that Jasmine was going to watch me"
"What the Fuck" Paul said patting my shoulder "And then asked you where he should take mimi on a date right?"
"Yes? How did you know"
"Classic guy move"
"If you ever do that to me, I will kill you" Amy warned Paul, Amy parked in front of the shop but we weren't going to go in there. "I'm sorry" She said to me "Hey, maybe you could call Bri-"
"If you say Brian, I've already explained that to you. I can't be with Brian. I can't be with any one human!"
"Got it" she said pretending to zip up her mouth. Then she turned up her radio "I know you probably don't want to hear this song but I do" It was the song Alek and I danced to in the club. I turned it up louder and told Amy we needed to leave this parking place.
"I have the weird want to run around flipping to things" I said pointing to her radio "This should be my work out/ training song"
"Yeah!" Amy said "Can you do the dance to this song?"
"Oh yes! I can"
"You have to show me, can I stay at your house tonight?" Amy was texting her dad already.
"Sure Amy!" I said "But we probably have to go home now!"
"You're showing me that dance" Amy was laughing "My dad said yes" We dropped off Paul on our way back and then Amy started playing Selena Gomez.
"I feel like we listen to A lot of Disney stars"
"We do" She said "This is getting a little crazy" We changed to some Rap station and started pretending we were rap stars. At a red light I put my feet up on the dash. I liked the song that was playing, Amy asked me where I had heard it.
"I have no idea." When we got to my house Amy locked up her car, Amy and I were laughing as we walked upstairs my mom opened her door, I guess she thought I was walking upstairs with Alek.
"I momma M" Amy waved and then we went into my room laughing.
"I am not driving you to school tomorrow!" My mom cheered and went back to bed. Amy went through my closet and found something to wear tomorrow for both of us.
"Why's your window open?" Amy asked me and I turned fast.
"I locked it before I left, that means someones been in my house" I went to grab my phone.
"Probably Jasmine or someone" Amy saiding blowing it off.
"I'm not going to take any chances" Jasmine's phone rang once and then she answered. "Jasmine were any of you in my house?"
"Alek were you in Chloe's house?" Jasmine didn't seem to happy to even talk to Alek.
"No, Why?" I heard him respond.
"Why?" Jasmine asked me.
"I locked my window before I left my house with Amy and Paul, I came back my windows open" I was about to go off the edge to think someone was in my house while I was gone, with my mom in her room.
"We'll be there in a minute" Jasmine said hanging up on me. I walked into my moms room, I was going to ask her if she had been in my room.
"Hey, did you go in my room?" I asked her trying to pretend nothing was open or anything.
"No I didn't." She said "Why?"
"I was just wondering. Looking for an outfit" I walked out. So someone I didn't know could be in my room or in my house and could kill me in my sleep or my mom, or now even Amy. "Well it wasn't my mom..." I told Amy as I walked in the room. She was sitting on my bed looking at me in fear.
"What's going on?" She asked me "Like someone was in your house while we were gone...What were they doing"
"I don't know" I whispered "Looking for information...Who knows?" I sat on my bed. If anything happened I would lay my life on the line to save my mom and Amy. "I think I should tell my mom" I said "about what I am"
"I don't think so, It's risky what is she sends you off to get tested or something"
"My mom wouldn't do that" I told her "Amy I'm scared" It felt easier to tell Alek. "I don't think I can do this"
"Of Course you can do this" Amy put her hands on my shoulder shaking me "You're Chloe King, The Uniter!"
"I don't want to be the Uniter!" I yelled, If Jasmine or Alek were any where near they would have heard that.
"This reminds me of the climb"
"We really need to work on our music" I laughed and then returned back to our serious conversation.
"Show me the dance"
"No... Not now!" I said "That's for when we don't have people on the way"
"What's that?" Jasmine said stepping through the window that was still open.
"Nothing important" I said and then Alek walked in through the window, Amy looked me in the eyes and I sensed her anger. I think I was getting better at controlling emotions because I didn't attack anyone because of how Amy was feeling. "Amy" I smiled "Feelings hurt?" Amy smiled back at me and I guess thought of something slightly happy.
"Sorry"
"It's fine" I said standing up to talk to Jasmine.
"We'll check the house, and Alek will watch you both tonight. I have to talk to my mom about this tonight. If they know where you live or anything than we have a problem. Meaning more protection or possible hide away"
"No WAY!" Amy said "It's probably nothing!" Jasmine checked the house because as a girl she was the only one that could get away with doing it. "So have you picked a place to take Mimi on a date yet?" Amy turned to Alek.
"What do you mean to Mimi on a date?" Jasmine asked Amy as she walked in giving a thumbs up.
"I don't know ask Alek"
"I will later" Jasmine squinted her eyes at Alek "Until then I have to go so... Don't spill any secrets tonight. Nosey's going to be listening"
"Bye Jasmine" I said as she walked out jumping on the ground. "Let's go to sleep Amy" Amy and I crawled in my bed and tried to go to sleep, Alek walked out after we got in my bed. "I really don't want this" I said, I tried to stop the tears.
"I know" I could hear the sadness in her voice "I know" She repeated and then sat up turning on the lamp beside my bed.
"You're still wearing your jeans, go get in the shower, and then we can talk." Amy was trying to motivate me and it worked. I took myself to the shower, I quickly washed my hair and everything else than went to my room and in my closet. I got dressed fast then brushed my hair. "Better?"
"Yes" I smiled "I don't get it"
"Don't get what?"
"Paul should have this life" I laughed "He would do so much better with it"
"I think you've done a pretty good job"
"I'm suppose to unite two races, I mean what have I done but told my two best friends. That's it. I've saved a few lives like Lana's but I mean I've really done nothing"
"It's going to take time." Amy said "It's not going to happen the first few weeks of being this. You have to train, and you're doing a great job balancing your life out."
"I messed up some how by not listening to anyone" I was thinking about Brian and Alek. I should have listened to Alek. "You know what I miss the most?"
"What?"
"My dad" I said "He would know what to do here"
"I don't have nice words for your dad" Amy said "He left over ten years ago, and now he's emailing you"
