I do not own the Nine Lives of Chloe

Alek's POV

Let me explain a few things about myself I have two people in this world that I trust completely my best friend and uniter of the main Chloe King and my cousin Jasmine. I am one year older than both Chloe and Jasmine and my birthday comes slightly after Chloe's. When I first moved in with Valentina and Jasmine when I was 13 Chloe was the first person at school besides Jasmine to talk to me and that's how we sort of became friends, that was and always will be important to me because Chloe didn't care how good I was something or how popular that thing could make me she just saw that I was a new kid who needed some friends and some of the people who teased me during those first few months worship me now because I am captain of our basketball team and probably the best player they have, and then 2 years later when we both transformed at the same time is when we became best friends. Chloe King is the only person who knows everything about me and still doesn't judge me even Jasmine knows everything yet she judges me from time to time and the people at school don't know me and are constantly judging me. Recently things between Chloe and I have changed and I don't know why but I think I like it.

What could Alek be talking about? Read on and Find out.

It was Tuesday night and once again Chloe and I were having a study "date". Normally she studies and I tease her for worrying about such useless human things, though honestly I worry about them too and she knows it; I show who I really am to Chloe but not to many others because of how my difficult my life was from an early age, I've learned to hide my emotions from the world but something about Chloe just makes me want to share everything about myself with her. Tonight was different because just as we settle down I hear my phone ringing so I pick up to none other than Mimi, my girlfriend, yes I like her but recently things just don't seem right with her. We start with our normal conversation hey what are doing type thing but when she finds out that Chloe is in my room she freaks out on we start fighting once again, it seems like all we've done this past month is fight. As things get heated I hear one of Chloe's favorite songs come on, You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. As I continue to yell at and fight with Mimi I see Chloe stop studying and she looks as if she is thinking really hard about something.

The longer I argue with Mimi the more thoughtful Chloe looks and at one point I can't help but think that she looks so cute like that. Wait. What? I don't think about Chloe like that or at least that's what I have to keep telling Mimi because according to her I have a thing for Chloe and Chloe has a thing for me and Mimi just can't handle it. I've told Mimi a million times that it's normal for me and Chloe to hang out in my room and for us to hang out on week nights, in fact we have a standing "date" every Tuesday to study. It hurts me to think that Mimi doesn't trust what I say when I tell her that I am not cheating on her with my best friend. I mean yeah maybe I do sort of like Chloe more than Mimi but that's because of everything we've through together right?

At this point I am so fed up with Mimi's constant insecurity, bitchyness to Chloe, and general jealousy of my relationship with Chloe that I have to do what's best for my heart and break up with her. As I tell Mimi that I never want to see or hear from her again she starts to cry and says she never meant anything by saying I had a thing for Chloe that she just hates how I supposedly chose Chloe over her "all" the time. This comment disgusts me so I tell her once again and then hang up as You Belong With Me comes to a close.

Apparently Chloe heard my conversation with Mimi, damned mai hearing, because as soon as I hung up she was looking at me expectingly. But I told her about it anyways and once I got done I could feel that I was about to cry so I got up and walked away from Chloe so she wouldn't see. Unfortunately for me Chloe saw the tears that I didn't want her to see; yes she's my best friend and all but sometimes I want to protect even her from seeing me be "weak".

Chloe being her immediately launched into how Mimi wasn't good enough for me and that I was the best thing that ever happened to Mimi and if she couldn't see that then she didn't deserve me. Blah Blah Blah, you know things girls normally say to their friends when relationships end only I have this feeling that Chloe means all those things 200% but I also feel as if Chloe is happy Mimi is no longer a part of my life although I can't think why she would feel that way. But she said all of this after I had punched the wall in my room leaving a hole there, shit I would hear it from Valentina about controlling my emotions.

Chloe POV

As I sit there comforting Alek I realize that this is something we can't talk about for a few hours and then he will be fine just like every other time has been. So I get and call my mom to tell her I am spending the night over with Alek and Jasmine. Of course she immediately wants to say no but I explain to her all about the Mimi situation and she agrees but ONLY if I sleep in Jasmine's room, see my mom is really paranoid like that, she knows that Alek and I are best friends and nothing would happen yet she insists that whenever I spend the night with them that I sleep in Jasmine's room. It's actually really annoying, does she not trust us? After that conversation with my mom I went back into Alek's room to tell him.

He was actually sort of upset that I was staying over but it was mostly because he felt like he was keeping me from my mother daughter "bonding" time, which is another normal Tuesday night thing, but I was so didn't care I mean my best friend needed me way more than my mom needed to spend time with me.

We talk and talk and talk for about five hours before I fall asleep on Alek's bed next to him. Or I guess that's what happened because when I woke up the next morning I was in Alek's bed and well let's just say I don't remember ever seeing Jasmine last night thus the conclusion that I feel asleep in Alek's bed. Alek is still asleep so I just watch him sleep for a minute, he must have cried himself to sleep last night because his face was tearstained and slightly puffy, before I decided to wake him up by yanking away his pillow and starting a pillow fight, a little bit kiddish I know but we always do this when one of us sleeps later than the other. This obviously wakes him up and he goes on the offensive, he doesn't grab a pillow though, Alek goes straight for the win and starts to tickle my stomach, I've always been very ticklish and he knows this is also the only way he can win one of our infamous pillow fights.

I start shrieking with laughter which only make Alek tickle me even more and I of course can't help but to continue laughing. All the noise draws Jasmine's attention, I see her coming up behind Alek but I act as if nothing is going on outside of Alek tickling me because I know Jasmine is up to something. As soon as she gets directly behind Alek I see the pillow behind her back and know what's going to happen so I rolled out of the way at the last second so Jasmine got only Alek with the pillow and I grabbed a pillow as well so we could double team him, there's no way he could beat both of us.
