Like i had the next scene but i had no idea how to get there with where i left off. But whatever! Read, Review and Enjoy!

Chloe POV

I walked into class, ignoring Aleks stares, and took my seat. We had assigned seats in this class, and unfortunately, I sat right next to Alek.

"Hey Chloe." A smooth, familiar voice said. However, it wasn't accented or Aleks for that matter. It was Lucas who was standing next to me. Crap. I forgot he was in this class. Not to mention the fact that he sat on my immediate left. Great. This was awkward.

"Uh... Hi." I said quietly, hoping he would let the conversation end there, but unfortunately he didn't.

"So did you think about what I said today at lunch?" He asked, and out of the corner of my eye, I swear i saw Aleks jaw harden. But I must've imagined that.

"Look Lucas, I already told you. I'm really not interested. Sorry." I replied, now it seemed like Alek was smiling. But again, must be a figment of my imagination. Right?

"You can't turn me down without even giving me a chance. Come on. One date." He pleaded.

"Uhm no thanks."

"Well I guess if you won't give me a date, I'll just have to try and win you over. Just you wait."

"What? What does that mean?"

"You chose your fate, Chloe King." He said smiling, and then class started. I just shook the conversation out of my head and payed attention, easily ignoring each of the boys on either my left or right. The hour of class actually went by pretty quickly. I got the assignment done early, and worked on some of my overdue stuff. When the bell rang I packed up my stuff and headed out the door with everyone. I had managed to slip out before Lucas or Alek had even finished getting their stuff together. I stopped by my locker and exchanged my books for my last classes with everything I needed for my homework. I had to hurry because i had work in a bit. I saw Amy and Paul walk up and waved to them.

"Hey guys. Look, i'd love to talk, but i have to get to work. It's kind of my first day back." I said closing my locker.

"Okay. We're headed out, so i guess we'll see you later." Amy said. They headed to the parking lot and i locked up my locker before following. I got to the parking lot and saw them drive off. I hopped into my car and threw my bag into the passenger seat. I put my key into the ignition and turned it. Nothing. Great. My car wouldn't start. What was i gonna do now? I tried to start it a few more times, but to no avail.

"Crap." I murmured. I decided to call Lana first, and tell her my car wouldn't start so i wouldn't be able to make it. I could tell she was mad, but being my first day back since my mom died, she let it slide. Next i called the tow truck, but it would be an hour or so until they got here. I would have called someone to come pick me up, but i realized that i was completely alone. My mom was gone, my dad was nowhere to be found, Amy and Paul were out on some date, Jonah and Alek were both at basketball practice, (not that i would have called Alek anyway, since we weren't exactly on the best of terms, but still). So here i sat, completely alone. I watched from my car as the other students left, one by one. I lay back onto my chair and stuck my feet up on the dashboard, and pulled out my Romeo & Juliet book. I had to finish it for english, so i just relaxed and read.

tap tap tap.

Someone was tapping on my window. I looked out to see Lucas there. It was darker outside, i looked at my clock and saw it was almost 5. Where was the stupid tow truck? Lucas was still tapping on my window, so i rolled it down.

"Hey Chloe. What are you still doing here? Waiting for me, were you?" He said with a wink.

"No, my car broke down and the tow truck hasn't showed up yet. Did practice just get out?"

"Surrrreee. You can just admit it if you were waiting for me you know. Its okay. And yeah practice ran late today. Why do you ask?"

"I was just curious. But hey, do you know where Jonah is?" Jonah could probably help me get my car home.

"Uhm... yeah, he's over there with Alek." He pointed to the school doors where Alek and Jonah were laughing. Great. Of course Alek was with him. Now how could i get Jonah's attention without getting Alek's? I was interrupted in thought by Lucas's screaming. "JONAH!"

"What the hell are you doing?!" I whisper yelled to Lucas. But it was too late. Jonah and Alek whipped their heads around and saw me. They started walking towards me then. I wished i could just start my car and drive off. Unfortunately i was stuck here.

"Hey guys. Chloe here was looking for you, Jonah." Lucas said. All the guys turned to me.

"Uhm... yeah. My car won't start, and the tow truck was supposed to be here like 2 hours ago. So i was hoping you could help me get my car home?"

"Oh sure. Let me just run home and get my 2 wheel tow dolly. I'll be right back. Alek, can you stay with Chloe?" crap.

"Oh i'm good. You can just g-" I started but was cut off by Alek.

"Of course." He smirked at me.

"Actually, i could give Chloe a ride home." Lucas said.

"I'm good." I said to both of the boys at the same time that Alek said, "that won't be necessary."

"Really. I insist." him and Alek were now glaring at each other. What was going on with them?

"How about, you guys both go home, Jonah go's and gets the dolly tow thingy, and i'll wait here? Sound like a plan? Okay good. Bye then." They both looked at me, and Lucas walked away to his car, mumbling incoherently. Alek was still staring at me. "I meant you too, you know."

"Do you honestly think i would just leave you here alone?" I sighed in defeat. I knew no matter what, he wasn't going to leave me alone again. Especially since the last time he did, i was shot and died. Twice. I cringed at the memory.

"Whatever. Just hurry Jonah. Please." He nodded and got into his truck. Alek went and sat on the curb. It was quiet for a while, then he said something she wasn't expecting.

"Chloe, I'm sorry." I couldn't tell what he was thinking because he was looking down at his hands. Had he really just said that? I stepped out of my car and sat next to him on the curb. I put my hands around my knees and looked at them.

"Alek. I don't want to fight with you anymore. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of having absolutely nobody."

"You're not alone, Chloe." He said quietly.

"Yes I am. I get home everyday, and i'm completely alone. I mean, Jonah is there, yeah. But i'm still alone. I remember it was only a couple of months ago that i was complaining i never had a moment of privacy. And only a few months before that, that i was just a normal girl living happily with my mom. I had friends, and people who cared about me. Now i have nothing. I'm alone." I couldn't help but spill everything out. It took a moment for him to speak, and when he did his voice was soft.

"You're not alone, Chloe." He repeated. "you have me." I smiled at the thought. After everything i had done to him, he still wanted to be there for me. He was truly amazing. Yes, he was cocky, annoying, and sarcastic at times. But, somehow, i grew to love those things.

"So, no more fights then?" i asked hopefully. He smiled.

"I guess, i could try to contain my being annoying. But only if you can contain your stubbornness." He said, still smiling. I sighed jokingly.

"Ugh! I guess I could try to do that. You know, If I have too." I said.

"Good. No more fights then?" He held his hand out for me. I took it and intertwined our fingers. For a second romance popped into my head. But we couldn't go back to that. We couldn't again face the pain our romance had faced. Even if his perfect lips were calling me. Even if I wanted to feel his embrace and never let go. Even if I wanted to take him into my hands and kiss him like I had never kissed anyone before, with a passion that couldn't even be reached as humans. Even if I wanted to connect our lips and be with him for as long as i possibly could. I couldn't do that to him. I hurt him so much the last time. I couldn't do it again. I wouldn't. Besides. Alek deserved better. He didn't deserve someone who was... Well damaged.

"No more fights." I declared. "I'm glad I have you back Alek. I missed you."

"I missed you too Chloe. I missed you too." It was quiet for a while. And I continued to think about being with Alek, and why I shouldn't go there ad I stared at our intertwined fingers. Would it really be that bad of an idea? We were so good with each other before.

"What are you thinking about, Chloe?" Alek asked quietly. I wasn't sure if I should really tell him, what if he didn't feel the same way? Then I would be humiliated. And just because we used to be good, doesn't mean we could be now. So much has changed done then. And even then, it really wasn't a thing. It was one date, a few kisses, and a hopeful future. But thats just it. What about the future? What could be in store for Alek and I? I answered his question with vague honesty.

"Oh you know, the past. The present. The future. Things of that sort." I looked up and his face was only a few inches from mine. I couldn't stand how close his lips were. His wonderful scent was radiating off of his body. I wanted to be with him so badly. "Has anyone ever told you, your a close talker?" I whispered. He laughed a little, and whispered back.

"Only you. Why does it bother you, Chloe King?" Yes. Very much so. His being so attractive was distracting me. I backed up a little.

"No. Why? Is it bothering you, Aleksander Petrov?"

"Nope." It was quiet again, but only for a minute. "So what is it your thinking about in the past present and future?" You.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Yes. Yes I would."

"Too bad!" We laughed together for another moment. Then it died down and the air got quiet. I couldn't help but wonder... "So what are you thinking about?"

"I'm just sorta... remembering things." He answered quietly.

"Really? Like what?"

"Oh it's nothing."

"Seriously Alek! Come on, tell me."

"Really. It's nothing."

"Alek! Tell me right now." I pulled my hand away from his, crossed my arms and scooted away from him.

"Hey! You said no more fights, Chloe."

"Well I guess I lied. Maybe if you would be honest with me, then we wouldn't fight."

"Okay okay. I was just remembering..." He paused but I gave him a stern look to continue. "About everything that happened before. I guess I'm just worried that things can never get back to the way they used to be." I sat down next to him now.

"Alek, nothing will ever be the same. We've changed. People are gone. People we loved. Nothing can ever change that or bring them back. So no thing can never be the same, but it's up to us to make the best out of the situation we have now. We have to continue to live our lives and move on from the past. But what's important is that we do it together." He smiled and nodded his head. His eyes were full of tears, but not even one fell. In that moment, I saw how hurt Alek really was. He was vulnerable in this moment. With me. I thought more about the possibility of being with Alek. Things would be so good with us. Brian was way out of the picture so nothing could stand in our way. We could be happy. After everything, didn't we deserve that much? We could do exactly as I said. We could move on together. So why not?

I looked at his perfect full lips. I imagined them being against mine. His eyes flickered up to meet mine. They were a beautiful shade of brown. They weren't quite chocolate, and weren't exactly mahogany. What were they? I let my gaze fall back down to his lips. Why not right? I've been waiting for this moment for so long. So, I leaned in for a kiss..
