Chapter 6

It had been a week since Chloe's dad had arrived and it didn't look like he would be leaving any time soon. He was staying at a very expensive hotel just down the street. Meredith and him were spending a lot of time together which was good for her but not for Jerry.

Jerry and Meredith had both agreed to not see each other for a while until the whole dad thing got sorted out.

It had seemed like Meredith had forgiven him way faster than Chloe. She was still a little mad that he hid a whole other family from her. Especially a whole other family that included her boyfriend.

"Chloe, we have to talk sometime." Her dad pressed.

"Dad, i'll talk to you when i'm ready. I'm still a little freaked that your not human and that you left us for another family." Chloe argued.

"I met Scarlett after I left. She had nothing to do with it." Tom defended.

"Yeah yeah, you left 'cause I wasn't safe. I get it. I just don't understand why you couldn't have left a note or something. Maybe something like don't kiss anyone or they'll die." said Chloe.

"Yes, because a six year old would have been able to understand that." Her dad snapped.

"Can we just drop it. I'll talk when i'm ready. Problem solved." Chloe shut the phone before he could say anything.

Chloe sat down on her bed, playing with her fingers. She didn't know what they would talk about. How can a relationship go from runnig to hug him to we'll talk when i'm ready. She had been so happy when she saw her dad. She had been ready to get to know him again. Until she realized she had never known him in the first place.

Chloe walked down stairs to see a note on the kitchen table.

Chloe,

I'll be out for most of the day so please try and be safe. Remeber only 7 lives. I love you.

-Alek

PS Jasmine and Valentina are with me so no one is at the apartment.

Chloe put the note back on the table and went to go make some ceral. She didn't know how to be safe. Did that mean just not leave the house. No, he would never ask her to do that. Chloe just shrugged it off. She decided that she need to go for a car ride. Just to get some fresh air. It's not like anyone could hurt her from inside her car.

Chloe started the car and just drove. She didn't know where she was going, she just drove. She saw that the car was out of gas so she pulled into the closes gas station.

She was just about to get out when the car door opened on it's own. There was a man standing there. Chloe's heart raced, where was Alek when you need him. The man knocked her out with a stick and pushed her over to the front seat. He started the car and drove off. They ended up at a dock, he tied Chloe up with a few chains and dumped her over the edge.

Chloe snapped awake, she screamed as if someone who actually come to help. She looked up at the top of the water and saw two men fighting. Then hands came into the water and grabbed her.

"Chloe, Chloe honey. Are you alright." Her dad asked.

"I'm fine, just a little cold." Her dad untied her and hugged her. "I love you dad."

"I love you too. I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner. Alek called, he said to watch you for the day." Her dad explained.

"Chloe." Jasmine, Alek, Valentina came around the corner. "What happened, did you loose a life?"

"No, my dad saved me." Her dad put a towel over her.

"Oh thank heavens. We saw your car over here and we got worried." Valentine exclaimed.

"Well... i'm just gonna go take a nice hot shower. Bye." Chloe ran off to her car. The four of them just looked at each other.

Alek ran after Chloe. "Chloe, i'm sorry I wasn't here. I should have been-"

Chloe cut him off with a kiss. "You don't have to save me all the time." Alek smiled and opened the car door for her. She waved and drove back to her house.
