So I was inspired by two songs for this one: I should be sleeping by Emerson Drive and Just to make you smile Tim McGraw.

I couldn't sleep, I'd tried to turn my brain off but I couldn't. I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful angel in my arms. She'd gone to sleep her head in my chest as tears streamed down her cheeks now she slept with a small smile on her face. I know that I should be sleeping but I can't stop thinking about her. I can't believe what happened tonight, or almost happened. What would have happened if I wasn't here. It made me angry that a man would do that to Chloe, to anyone. I ran my fingers through her soft hair trying to calm myself. I thought back to her room, I'd have to do something with the body, before she woke up; I'd have to get rid of the blood too. I didn't want her to see any of it. I didn't want her to have to think about what happened. I didn't want to see her relive that. I wanted to protect her. Not just from this though, from everything. I hated seeing her upset, and unhappy. I hated seeing her in danger. I wish I could just take that all way. I looked over at the clock. It was almost 5 am. I looked down at Chloe and smiled. She'd said she couldn't forget me either. She'd said that she had like me. I slipped out from under her making sure she was comfortable before I walked back to her room. I flipped on the light and looked around. Luckily not too many things were broken, but it was definitely a mess. Nate's body was on the ground his flesh ripped from the bones. Blood was spattered anywhere withing a ten foot radius. I shook my head and stepped out of the room. I crossed to Valentina's office knowing that she had to have the numbers for people who could take care of this stuff. I sat down in her chair and put my legs up on the desk while I flipped through an address book.

"Cleanup crew" I whispered pointing to a number. I called the number and waited while it rang.

"Hello?" A voice said on the other side.

"Um, do you know a Chloe King?" I asked.

"What do you know of Chloe King?"

"Look, I'm Mai, I'm here with Chloe. We had an accident last night. One that needs cleaning up."

"What is it."

"Someone attacked Chloe in her room, I dealt with it, but she's shook up. I need it taken care of now."

"We're on our way." I hung up the phone and sat for a minute. I looked around the room and then got up. I checked on Chloe touching her cheek lightly and pushing the hair out of her face. She was still sound asleep. It was only 15 after five so I decided to shower. I still had blood under my nails and on my clothes. I let the hot water roll over me washing away everything, except what I felt for Chloe, that stayed. I turned off the water and wrapped myself in a towel about to change into some clean clothes when I heard a knock on the door. I didn't want it to wake Chloe so I ran to get it. I opened it and looked at the four guys that were there.

"Cleanup crew." The front one smiled.

"Shh, Chloe's asleep. It's in her bedroom." They tiptoed in and went to the back. The one at the front stopped though.

"Valentina know you're here?" He asked looking me up and down.

"Yeah, I live here." The guy nodded and turned around. I looked down and figured it was because I was naked except for the towel. I went into my room and threw on a dark hunter green button up t-shirt and a pair of light jeans. When I went back out they were carrying the body out.

"Look, pretty boy, the cleaning we have to do to get the blood out is loud, so if you don't want us to wake up Chloe than we'll have to come back later, when you're out of the house." I thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright." They left and I was left with Chloe. I looked down at her. I pulled my phone out again and dialed the school.

"Gate's Highschool."

"Yeah, hi. Alek Petrov and Chloe King won't be in school today, they're sick."

"Alright, I'll have it recorded." I hung up and went back over to Chloe. I settled in next to her, wrapping my arms around her small delicate body. She started to stir and then her eyes fluttered open looking straight at me. She smiled and nestled against my chest pressing her body against mine.

"What time is it?" She asked quietly.

"It's almost six." I told her. She started to get up but I held on to her.

"We have to get to school."

"I called, we're sick. We can do whatever you want today."

"Really?" She asked. I nodded cupping my hand on her cheek.

"Any where you want to go, anything you want to do. So, what is it princess?" She thought for a moment.

"Did you know the carnival was in town?"

"I didn't. Is that what you want to do?" She nodded. "Alright, that's what we'll do." She rolled out of my arms and started padding towards her room. "Chloe-" I said quickly. "Don't go in there."

"I have to change clothes." She said. I stood up and walked over to her quickly.

"Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. You can change in my room." She looked at me questioningly but nodded her head.

"Just a pair of shorts and a tank top." I nodded and then went inside to get them. Chloe changed and then we left. I was about to push the button for the garage but she stopped me. "I want to walk," She said and pushed the ground floor button.

I would have done anything she said right now, just to make her happy. Just to see her smile.

I sat and watched as Alek knocked over pyramid after pyramid of bottles down. We both could see how annoyed the guy who ran the booth was, but it really only encouraged Alek to keep going. When he'd knocked down every pyramid the man handed over the giant lion that Alek had won and grumbled something about odds or what not. Alek handed me the lion.

"Remind you of anyone?" He asked.

"There is an arrogant gleam in his eye that seems familiar." I said looking from the lion to Alek. He leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek.

"What's next?" he asked. I thought holding the lion close to me.

"Um, I like the bumper cars." I told him. He nodded and took my hand in his. We waited in line for a little bit before we got into the cars. At first Alek didn't try to hit me but after about four neck whipping hits from me, he got a little competitive and started to chase me. He only caught me a few times before the cars shut off and we got out. We walked around the large field where the carnival was set up, talking and laughing. Anything I wanted- he bought, and he won me the biggest prize at every game. I had never had so much fun in my life.

I'd thought about last night only once, and when I remembered all I remembered was that Alek had been there, that Alek had saved me. I knew that Nate was dead; I knew that was the reason that Alek didn't want me to go in my room this morning. It didn't bother me, I was glad he was gone. Nothing good had ever happened when he was around. He'd hurt me, twice. I looked over at Alek slyly. Alek had never hurt me; I didn't think he ever would. There was something I could sense in him that wasn't capable of hurting me in any way. I squeezed his hand lightly and then moved so that his arm was around my waist. I pinched off a piece of cotton candy and put it in my mouth. Have I mentioned how much I love the way it totally just disappears? "Today has been really good, Thank you." I told him giving him a quick kiss.

"Chloe, I'd do anything to make you smile."
