AN: Hey, guys! I'm back and I have some good news. I got my first review! Thank you so much, AngelFallenOutOfHeaven! This chapter is dedicated to you! I had marked this story as complete, but I'm going to keep adding to it. I'm going to write from Alek's POV for now. Let me know if you want any other POVs. The rest of the chapters will be original ideas, scenes from specific POVs, and anything else that you guys want to see! I don't own TNLOCK! If I did, it would be on it's 5th or 6th season by now...

Alek's POV:

My brain races a mile a minute. How can I face Chloe after how I treated her when I heard her say she loves Brian? I was awful to her and I don't know what to do or say. I do the one thing I can think of and go to her house to make sure she's okay. Before I killed Zane, he told me that my true love would be dead even if I saved Jasmine. It was too late for Valentina. I left the penthouse to check on Chloe as soon as the healers arrived. I run up to her front door and knock. There's no answer and I start to panic.

"Alek?" I hear a voice behind me and swiftly turn around. Chloe is standing there with tears running down her face. Before I can speak, her body collides with mine in a tight hug. I hear her start to sob.

"Hey, Chloe! It's okay. You're safe." I rub her back as I speak.

Chloe sobs harder and starts to fall to her knees. I hold her tighter to keep her from doing this. "Th-th-th-they t-t-t-took my mom! I found this note taped to the door!" She hands me the note in her hand and I swiftly read it. I start to crush it in my hand, but Chloe stops me. "Alek, stop! It's my only clue to finding her!"

I sigh and hand it back to her. "We will find your mom, Chloe." Suddenly, I notice the stains on her shirt. "Oh my Bastet! Chloe, what happened to you tonight?!" I instantly scoop her into my arms and make my way to the roof. I tenderly set her down and sit next to her. "Tell me everything that happened."

"I went to the theater my dad used to take me to as a little girl. I thought I was meeting him there." I nod to let her know I'm listening. I remember the gleam in her eye when her phone went off. That's why I left so quickly. I didn't want to know what she was about to get herself into.

"When I got inside..." She stops talking and I look down at her. I can see the tears running down her face. I wrap one arm around her waist and pull her closer to me.

"What happened, Chloe?" Something tells me I already know the answer, but I can't help asking anyway.

"There were 3 men waiting for me. I fought them and then started to leave the theater. As I was walking down the stairs, a woman appeared at the bottom. We talked for a few seconds. I was frozen when she pulled out a gun. I should've moved." I gasp when I hear this, but let her keep talking. "She shot me in the stomach 3 times. Then..."

She stops talking and just looks at me for a minute. Before I can even blink, I feel her lips on mine. I freeze from shock and she swiftly pulls away. I lean forward and tenderly kiss her. The kiss becomes more heated and I feel her fingers on the hem of my shirt. I swiftly pull away again. "Chloe, stop." I run my fingers through my hair and try to calm down. "Finish telling me what happened."

Chloe sighs. "Okay. Well, I died. As I was coming back to life, I heard Brian confessing that he loves me. Only...I wished it was you. I was so out of it. Even though I knew it was him and said his name, I..." She looks at me. "I kissed him thinking it was you, Alek. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. He died in my arms."

I take a moment to collect my thoughts and she looks at me while I think. "I want to believe you, Chloe. It's just that I remember when you told him our kiss was nothing. I know you cared about me to some extent. I could sense it whenever we hung out. It's just...hard to know that you still care. What if you change your mind? What if you decide you like someone else more..."

Chloe grabs my hand and gives it a tight squeeze. "Alek, I'm in love with you. I know what I said to Brian, but it really wasn't nothing. I know I already said that after you saved my mom and I. I just think you need to hear it again since you also heard me tell my mom that I'm in love with Brian."

I nod as Chloe's words echo in my head. "I was going to mention that. I'm in love with you, Chloe. I want you to be sure that you love me, too."

Chloe laughs. "Did our kiss not convince you?" Before I can answer, her lips are on mine again. I scoop her into my arms and make my way to her bedroom. Our lips separate briefly as we climb through the window. Then we're kissing again as if our lives depend on it. "Alek, I want you."

I smile at her and wrap my arms around her waist. "Are you sure, my love?"

I feel her shiver in pleasure. "Yes."

We spend the rest of the night in each other's arms. Finding her mom and defeating The Order will have to wait until tomorrow.

AN: So I don't know how to find it again, but a Chalek video on Youtube inspired this chapter. Dead Hearts by Stars was the song used. I suggest rereading this while listening to the song since I listened to the song on repeat while writing this. Review please! I love you all! Have a good week!
