Thank you guys for all the reviews and insight, I would like to dedicate this chapter to Lil5weetiewho wrote a really big review on some of the things that I will have to cover in the next couple of chapters. Also a big thank you to Alanna-Banana1987, don't worry Momma Meredith will be making an appearance in the story soon. (maybe not in this chapter but soon.)
So enjoy and if there's anything that you think I should add into the story please let me know in the review.
Previously on A Different Ending:
After a while the tears stopped, and sleep took over. I fell asleep to the sound of Alek's heart beat.
Aleks P.O.V
Eventually Chloe's heart beat slowed, and she drifted off to sleep. I picked her up bridal style as I carried her to my room. I tried to loosen her arms from around my neck as I laid her down on my bed. As soon as I did I saw her eye's open. "Don't go please, stay. I don't want to be alone right now." I didn't know if she was actually awake but I complied to her wish taking of my shirt before jumping under the covers. I tried to leave some distance between us, in case she did wake up I didn't want to scare her away thinking that I was some sort of creep that would take advantage of her. Unfortunately she didn't feel the same way, as she quickly snuggled up to me resting her head on my chest. I signed, how did I manage to end up in my bed with the most beautiful girl in the world? I drifted off into peaceful sleep.
I heard a knock on the door, I looked at the clock, it was 6 am in the morning. I looked down at Chloe who's head was still resting on my chest. I heard another knock. "ya, I'm coming." I whispered knowing that whoever was outside of the door, weather it was Jasmine or Aunt Val, would be able to hear me.
I lightly lifted Chloe's head and placed it on the pillow. I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I walked out of my bedroom. Aunt Val was sitting in the Kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hand. "I see you and Chloe shared a room last night." She laughed as she saw my smile. "It's been a long time since I saw that smile. She's the one isn't she?" I sat down beside her with my own cup of coffee before replying.
"Ya, I think so." I couldn't get Chloe out of my mind, her smile, her laugh. My mind kept listing things that I love about my Chloe. Wait my Chloe? "I know you taught me all about Mai relationships as I was growing up, but I never thought that the feelings would actually be this strong."
"Yes well you need to be careful. When a Mai meets there one true mate everything else stops mattering, and this can lead to over protectiveness. You need to tell her how you feel before it gets to that point." She looked me in the eyes. "I just don't want you to get hurt, and remember that she's just relizing her role in this. Just yesterday she found out that she is the Uniter. I know you feel very strongly for her and want to take the next step, but just give her some time." I nodded as Valentina got up. "I have to go, I've got a meeting to go to, I'll be back tomorrow night." She smiled as she walked out the door.
I my thoughts went to Chloe as I heard her start to wake up. Jasmine walked down the stairs. "Oh good she's up." She knocked on the door before walking into my room. "So you're clothes are still in the dryer, and since we have school in half an hour I thought you might want to just use some of my clothes for today." I could hear Jasmine place the clothes on my bed.
"Thank you," I heard my Chloe say, as Jasmine walked out of the room. I few seconds later I heard the shower go on as Chloe took a shower. I started to make a quick breakfast, with Jasmines help we ended up making Bacon, eggs, and French toast. Right as we were putting the food down on the table I heard Chloe walk out of my room. She smiled nervously as she walked to the table. "Wow" she sat down admiring the food. I heard her stomach growl. We ate quickly all of us to hungry to talk. After breakfast we headed to school. We all climbed into one car as I drove us to school. Once at school I said goodbye to Jasmine as I walked Chloe to her locker. Me and her hadn't had a chance to talk since the night before when she found out about the death of that human guy. I didn't know what to say, so I opted to simple say nothing. It wasn't the right time. I tried to remember what Valentina had said, 'give her some time'.
"So do you have any plans for tonight?" I asked looking down at her as she put her things in her locker.
"Ya I do, I'm working tonight and afterwards me and Amy where going to have a girls night in. We have alot to talk about." She looked up at me. "Look Alek I would really love to talk but I really don't want to be late for class again." She gave me a quick kiss of the cheek. "I'll see you around." She tried to give me a small smile but I saw that she didn't mean it. I had to find a way to get her to be happy again.
After school I walked into the coffee shop right beside Chloe's work, hoping she would be in there. But as I walked in I noticed her talking to a guy. I stayed back as I let my super hearing kick in.
"Hey, I haven't seen you around since that day I got that hat." The guy smiled at Chloe. "Do you want to sit down?" He offered her the extra chair across from him.
She smiled at him, "Sure"
"I hope you don't mind me asking but is something wrong?" his eyes melted with fake concern.
"Oh its nothing," Chloe tried to look away.
"Well if it's making you sad then it's obviously not nothing." His fake sympathy was sickening me. I ordered a frapaccino as their conversation continued. By the time I sat down she was already telling this guy all about Xavier. At least I think that's his name. This guy was playing her and she didn't even know it. I felt the anger rise up in me. I couldn't stand it anymore. I got up as I made my way to their table. They were just getting up as I walked towards them.
"Hey babe," I put my arm around her as I looked towards the guy, "and you are?"
He smiled, "Brian." He smiled at Chloe, "and I was just leaving. It was nice seeing you again Chloe. See you around some time?" He asked as he was slowly walking towards the door
"Yea, sure, you got my number. "She said as they said their goodbyes. He had her number? When did that happen? The jealously took over me.
"He's got your number? And you guys are planning on hanging out again?"
"Yea," Chloe said not seeing anything wrong with that. "Brian's," She paused, "a friend."
"A friend? Ha, like he just wants to be friends. Don't you see he's just trying to use you." I backed up.
"What is your problem? Where just friends, he was just trying to comfort me. There's a lot going on, and I can't keep it all to myself." I shook my head knowing that having this conversation right now was useless.
"I'll see you after work," I said as I walked out the door. I needed to get out of there. I know that I probably over reacted but it was hard. I wasn't used to having these feelings. We would have to talk about this after, but right now I just had to get out of her. I texted Jasmine asking her to take over my shift of protector duty, I waited for her reply before I ran.
So what do you guys think about Chloe and Aleks first fight? Give me your suggestions and don't worry Lil5weetie I'm getting there. The story will really be heating up in the next couple of Chapters, so stay tuned and Review. So if I get as many reviews as I did for chapter six (ten reviews) I might be persuaded to post chapter eight tomorrow night. So Review.
