I looked at Alek and he told me to take it. I looked at my phone 'Mom'

"Hello" I mentally cursed myself for being so stupid

"Chloe, I want you to come home."

"What?... Did I hear u right?"

"Yes, I miss my daughter. I don't want you to live with me though."

I felt like I was dying... Again"what..?" I asked almost choking on my own words.

By the look on Aleks face he's listening. He comes up to me and kisses my cheek then squeezes my hand to show me he's here for me.

"It's safer for you to live with Alek, Valentina, and Jasmine"

"Ok... You can just say you don't want me, your scared of me, or you just plan think I'm weird. I'd get it." I said this and hung up

I turned to Alek put on a fake smile. But as soon as I saw the look of concern on his face I broke down in sobs. I started to sit down on the floor but before my ass even touched the ground Alek picked me up and carried me to the bed and put me in his lap. He kept telling me it was okay and that I was fine but through my sobs I said "N-no I-I-it's n-not my o-o-own m-mo-mo-mother d-d-dos-nt w-want m-me"

"But we do, me, jas, Valentina, Amy, Paul. We all love you so much, we-I can't stand to see you this way. Chloe please stop crying...for me."
I tried but couldn't "No Alek don't you get it? I don't have any family now. My dad disappeared ten fucking years ago, my mom doesn't want me, and I don't have any siblings or cousins like you do. The closest thing I have is Amy or Paul."

"Chloe, it's alright. Shhh, I'm gonna tell you something I don't generally tell people okay?" I looked up at him, waiting for him to continue "you wanna know what happened the night my parents died, why I hate talking about it?"

"You don't have to tell me" I croaked out

"I want to... My parents and I, we were suppose to go to London, with my grandparents. As we were about to leave my parents had gotten a call. They said I needed to go to my bedroom and lock myself in there and not come out until they said it was safe, or someone that we know came to get me. I refused. Then someone barged into the door, my mom shoved me under the table before they could see me. They were fighting off ten people. Then I heard a bang and saw my father fall. My mom rushed over to help him, seeing as he was only shot in the leg, but as she was helping someone stabbed her in the back, then stabbed my dad in the chest. I could've tried to save them, helped, but I sat there and watched them die."

"Alek, that's not your fault, at all. Your parents are probably happy that you stayed there, other wise you would've died too, you stayed for a reason. They'd be proud of who you are today."

"See neither of us have a family, and that's okay. It isn't your fault that Meredith is an idiot" this made me laugh, really loudly.

"Ok so I should probably get my stuff from... The idiots house"

"I already sent some Mai to get it all"

"How'd you know she wouldn't want me?"

"I figured." He answered

"Now come along young one."

"I'm only 6 months younger then you."

"But your short."

"And your an ass. I'm not that short," I lied through my teeth, I'm 5'3" and he's about 6' he's definitely A LOT taller

"Yes you are."

"Am NOT!"

"Ok your not short but come along."

"Where are we going?"

"That is a surprise"

"But-but I DONT LIKE SURPRISES" I wined, obviously annoying him

"Good" he smirked

"Asshole" I mumbled

"*cough* heard that *cough*"

"Let's go dumb ass."

"As you wish princess" he cooed

He led me to his car and once we had gotten in then he turned on the radio and you&I by One Direction started playing. Me, being the idiot I am, started singing along, like what you do when your watching high school musical or camp rock, ya know?
"Oh you and I
Not even the gods above can separate the two of us
No nothing can come between you and I
Oh you and I
I figured it out saw the mistakes of up and down- oh wait right sorry, I know I suck at singing.." I blushed

"No no no, your good."

"Haha nice joke." I questioned his hearing right now "maybe you should have your ears checked"

"Me? Needing my ears checked? You seemed to have forgotten the fact that I'm Mai."

"Nope, maybe ease dropping on too many people, including me, have finally come into play"

"Oh but I found out so many things that way."

"Like?"

"Well that girl we hope was talking about a tattoo was, she got a tramp stamp, doesn't look too good by the way."

"And you'd know this because?"

"She showed it to her friend and I just so happened to be there."

"Mhm"

"It's true, I'm not lying"

"So, what was it like?"

"What was what like?"

"England" I told him, I've always wanted to go there, just haven't obviously.

"Beautiful, I'll have to take you there some day." He told me.

"Like I have the money for that, with my low paying job that I must go to today."

"First off I'd pay and you have off, I can be very persuasive. You know that."

All I did was roll my eyes, I looked out the window and we were at the mall, pulling into a parking space.

"Was the mall the surprise?" I questioned

"Yes, yes it was."

"That's... Hilarious." I said then I burst out in a laughing fit.

"I knew that me doing this would make you smile."

"Shut up, why are we here?"

"There's still the ball in two weeks."

"Ugh don't remind me, and how the actual fuck am I going to afford a ball gown?"

"Your not, Aunt Val left money."

"Oh ok... LETS GO!" The first store we went into was called prom and brides. Not a very creative if you ask me but it's whatever. I grabbed seven dresses and made my way to the dressing rooms Alek hot on my trail. Alek tried to come into the dressing room with me, key word being tried.

"No."

"But I wanna see the dresses!"

"And you will, when I come OUT!"

"Wow kitty calm down!"

After he said that I walked into the dressing room making sure to lock the door so mosey wouldn't come in.

The first dress was a sea foam green and it proofed out a bit at the bottom and it had rhinestones at the top and had a sweetheart neckline

"I don't like this, it's not a good color on me" I announce walking out

"You look great in anything"

"Kiss ass" I singsong as I walk back into the dressing room.

The next dress was yellow dress that was one sholder, went down to the flor and had a silver belt

"This looked better on the hanger, it blends in with my hair too much." I say after looking in the mirror once I walked out

"If you don't like it then don't buy it." Alek says.

"Really? Oh that's good advice."

The third dress is a black dress that was strapless, had a soft sweetheart neckline, and was ruffled tool at the bottom

"I like this one."

"It looks great," Alek says examining me from top to bottom, lingering on my boobs.
The next dress was a whitish pink and the top was designed with silver beading. It also has tool sleeves, only one layer. And the bottom was all tool, but it didn't poof out too much.

"Very sophisticated, I feel proper," I informed him in a fake British accent, trying to mock him.

"Never do that again!" He laughed

"Neva," I giggled, "you say things weird."

"As do you!"

"Why thank you kind sir," I say then curtsy.

"Your very welcome madam." He says with a bow. Just as he said that Jar of hearts came on the radio, "join me madam?"

"Of course kind sir."

We danced in small slow circles, Alek leaned down and started singing in my ear.
"I learned to live half a life
Now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?"

"Your a good singer."

"As are you."

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too," he whispered back

After that was a short red dress that had a silver belt, it was absolutely beautiful, as all the dresses are

"Not sure this is right for a ball..." I say stepping through the doorway.

"Go change," Alek demanded.

"I didn't think I looked that bad," I say looking at the floor and turning around.

"Chloe! I didn't mean it like that!"

"Oh yeah right!" I spit at him.

"I didn't I just don't want other guys staring at you. I'll have to beat me up. Show them your mine." He said with a smirk.

"Whatever," I say turning and walking into the dressing room.

Next was another black dress that went straight down and had lace sleeves.

As soon as I walked out Alek commented.

"That looks great, if you wanna look like Valentina."

"Oh God it does look like something she'd wear." I laughed walking back.

Lastly was a gold dress with stunning sequins going from the sweetheart neckline to the skirt but as it gets lower they have less and less sequins.

"Here's the last one... Oh fuck," I say as I waled into the door.

"Chloe did you just walk into the door?"

"No!" Alek smirked at me. "Yes! I walked into the door."

"Wow aren't you smart."

"Ok whatever how's this dress look?"

"Amazing, now which one are you going to get?"

"I'm gonna get...-"
