Well, I know, it has been a long time since I added more. But I've been planning a birthday party, and I was shopping, and cleaning, and then I actually had the party. But today, I actually have time to type. Monday was my birthday, sad, right? I'm just getting around to "me-time."

Oh, and normally I was trying to keep both of my stories similar to the show. But I'm confused on what exactly happened. Spoiler****** Are Valentina and Jasmine and Brian dead? And…brother! I'm pretty sure Chloe died, but is she going to figure out the Rezza/Order secret? Too many unanswered questions. But my point is that 1-I don't know exactly what happened, and 2-I'm not doing that. My story will here on out, be different from the show.

Without further ado, the next chapter.

Alek went home, as Jasmine had directed him, but he couldn't fall asleep. No matter what he did, he would have the same thing on his mind, and it wouldn't allow him any sleep. He decided that instead of lying here, accomplishing nothing, he should have fun.

Alek got out of bed and grabbed his jacket. He slid it on with ease and he headed to the roof. He ran, nearly full speed towards his cousin. It had only been half an hour since he left Jasmine and Chloe, but it was half an hour longer enough for him to realize what was on his mind. Alek wouldn't be able to sleep until he saw Chloe.

After Jasmine figured out that he liked Chloe, he kept daydreaming. He had barely even known himself, so it confused him on how Jasmine could have possibly known. But, then again, she was Jasmine.

Eventually he knew that he was going to have to tell her how he felt, but as of now, he couldn't. His crush had only just begun and it wasn't that big of a deal. He knew that eventually his feelings would get to be too much for him to bear, and that he would get completely distracted by her presence. Yes, eventually he would have to tell Chloe. When he did, it would end whatever he was felling if she didn't feel the slightest bit of anything. Then again, the less likely option, was if Chloe liked him back, they could move forward. But Alek was terrified of the first option, so he planned on putting it off.

When he came up on Jasmine, he slowed his pace. She starred at him.

Jasmine was wondering why he was here, since he clearly didn't need to be. She knew that he liked Chloe, but was it serious enough for him to need to be with her at all times?

"Hey," He said, casually as he sat down next to his cousin.

"Alek, no matter how much you want to be here, you need your sleep. You can protect her all day tomorrow, if you want, but tonight you need sleep." Jasmine said, assuring him that there is plenty of time for him to see his crush. But Alek wasn't going for it. He wouldn't be able to sleep anyways, so he planned on staying.

"I can't believe I'm going to tell you this, but I can't sleep. I keep thinking about her, so I might at least be here. I can't get her off my mind, and only her heartbeat will relax me. As cliché as that sounds, its true." He admitted.

Jasmine sighed, and let out an aww. She starred into his eyes, "I guess I get it. And I'll go. But, Alek?" She asked.

He turned his head slightly to the side, pressuring her to continue.

"She is the Uniter. If you like her, tell her. And I know you do. You can't put it off forever, because they won't be forever. Many Mai will go for her, and she may go for them, too. Unless she has you, she might crush on someone else. Don't let her, tell her how you feel. If not, you'll regret it."

Jasmine picked up her book and her water, and she walked home. Alek was left to ponder in her words for a few minutes. After he realized, completely, what she said, he walked closer to Chloe's window. Jasmine and him hadn't been talking loud enough for her to hear, so she had no idea of his presence. He starred in through her window. She was listening to her ipod, and casually glancing around. When her eyes landed on Alek, she jumped. She was surprised to see him outside her window. She put down her music player and walked towards the window.

She sat next to him, and she looked up at the stars.

"Do I even want to know if you do that every night?" She laughed to herself.

"Huh, no. Not every night. But not a lot, its just that sometimes you keep me entertained. It can get quite boring on the roof." He joked. She smiled at him, falling deeper for him, not even knowing it.

"Well, why are you here? I mean, well, I thought Jasmine was on duty tonight." Chloe asked him.

He wasn't about to tell her what he told Jasmine, even though he knew that he should. Jasmine was right and he needed to tell her, but he was a chicken.

"I couldn't sleep, and believe it or not, your roof is more entertaining than my room." He partially lied, telling only the smidgen of truth.

"Oh." She said, dropping the topic.

"So, anything new?" he asked.

"No, nothing much." She said.

Except the fact that I'm freaking out because all I can think about is the boy sitting next to me. I find him attractive and I think I'm falling for him. Other than that, not nothing much. She told herself.

"You?" Chloe asked him.

"Nope." Alek lied, thinking something similar as to what she was thinking.

"Tonight was fun, we should go bowling more often." Chloe said, striking casual conversation.

"Yeah, we should. But not too often because you have training." Alek said.

"Darn, I was hoping we could just bowl instead. Ice cream too, that was fun." Chloe admitted.

"Did you really like that?" He asked.

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" Chloe questioned him.

"Well I thought that you didn't have fun." He said.

"No, I loved it actually. It was really fun, even if I had to share your cuties." She joked.

"My cuties?" Alek asked.

Chloe laughed.

"I don't have cuties, believe me." He told her.

"How would I know?" She asked, not even realizing that they were both moving closer.

"Well, we would have to," and he let his sentence drift off, seeming as it was useless anyway. They both knew what he was implying.

They both leaned in more, but it was slow. Neither of them was completely aware of the situation. When the water from her mother's shower started, they both jumped and pulled back. They starred at each other with wide eyes. Then they sat awkwardly.

"Sorry, I don't know what I was doing." Alek told her.

"Me neither, I can't believe I was about to do that." Chloe laughed, half heartedly.

"We don't even like each other." Alek said, hoping she would object. Of course that wasn't the case.

Chloe was a little hurt was his last statement, but she wasn't about to tell him that he was wrong.

They sat together, in silence and watched the stars. After about fifteen minutes, Chloe remembered the night when they shared ice cream.

"Alek, do you remember the other day, you were about to tell me something, but I went inside. What were you going to tell me?" She questioned.

Alek was going to admit to liking her, but just as he was about to say it, she said it didn't matter and she went inside. He could have told her tonight, but with their almost-moment it would create an even more awkward tension in the air.

"I don't remember." He lied.

"Oh."

Alek and Chloe both heard a faint knock on Chloe's door. Before they had time to react, the know was turning and Chloe's mom walked in. Chloe turned and looked at Alek.

"Crap!" But she didn't say it quiet enough, and it was easily heard by her now worried mother.

"Chloe?" Meredith said as she ran to the window. Chloe took a deep breath and she climbed through her window.

"Hi, mom…" She said, as she sat on her bed.

"Chloe! What on earth were you doing on the roof!"

"I-" Chloe began, but she was cut off.

"And who were you talking to?" Her mother asked, impatiently.

Chloe knew that she wasn't going to get out of this one. She was caught. She knew that her mom would catch her mess up on something, but Chloe thought it would be more of a quick-mom-hide,-because-someone-is-in-the-house,-and-they-are-trying-to-kill-me situation. Not a whoops-you-caught-me-talking-to-someone-on-the-roof. But either way, she was caught and she couldn't think of any lie to tell her mom.

"I…" Chloe started again. But then Alek crawled through the window. What was he doing? Chloe wondered to herself.

Alek wasn't about to let Chloe take the blame, since it wasn't entirely he fault. Alek was just as much a part of the situation as Chloe was. Besides, Meredith didn't like him already.

"Hello." Alek said, as he gave the wide-eyed mother a slight wave. "Sorry, for meeting, again, like this. But there isn't anything to worry about. We were just talking on the roof."

"On the roof? What if she fell off?" Chloe mom was freaked out and she didn't know whether to yell or be thankful that they were safe.

"I wouldn't have let that happen." Alek said. Meredith raised an eyebrow in Chloe's direction. "Any I'm sorry if this is scarring you, but we were honestly just talking. I climbed up the tree after I told Chloe that I was having a rough night. And she came out to comfort me. I really am sorry for worrying you." Alek said, with his incredible accent that not even an angry mother could stay mad at.

Meredith raised her eyebrows at he daughter, again. She sighed.

"Chloe, I don't know whether I should be mad, or happy. You can't go on the roof anymore, but at least you any your boyfriend weren't in your bed!"

Chloe almost choked. Her eyes searched Alek and her mother.

"Mom, no. Alek is not my boyfriend. I've told you this before. We are just friends." Chloe said, embarrassed by her mother.

"Oh, oh. I'm sorry." She glanced at Alek, who of course, was smirking. "But I don't believe you." Meredith joined in on smirking as she walked towards the door. She stopped in the doorway and she turned to face Alek. "Alek, I'm sorry, but you have to go home. Maybe if you come over and actually introduce yourself one day, I'll let you stay over for a little while, but right now I'm going to bed. Chloe can't have her boyf- friend over while I'm asleep. Goodnight." She sighed and went to bed.

Meredith understood that her daughter was growing up. And before Jonathon had left, he told her that children that were adopted would change when they turned into teenagers, and there was nothing they could do about it. Meredith was just happy that Chloe wasn't a complete reckless, daredevil, uncontrollable teenager. Because of that, she could deal with low amounts of trouble from her daughter.

Chloe turned to face Alek, and she was still embarrassed.

"Parents…I'm sorry about that. I need some sleep, and so do you. Deny it all you want, you need sleep. Since she thinks your gone, I could just lock my door and you could stay in here tonight. That way, if you needed to protect me from something, you would be with me. And you could use some sleep." Chloe offered.

Alek was shocked, but he was completely drained. He got to see his crush, so his body was happy and it was going to allow his to rest. Alek shook his head.

"Yeah, that sounds good. I guess I do need some sleep."

Chloe walked over to her closet and she pulled a sleeping bag off of the top shelf. She spread it across the ground on top of a comforter. She grabbed a pillow and handed it to him.

"Oh. You want me to sleep on the floor. I get it." He half mumbled.

"You didn't think that you were sleeping with me, did you?" She laughed. She wasn't trying to be mean, she was just surprised.

"No, no, of course not." He lied. He wished that he could be next to her, and that when he would wake up, he would see her. But her floor would have to do. At least he would get some sleep.

Alek crawled into his sleeping bag.

"Goodnight, Alek." Chloe said, as she turned off the light.

"Sweet dreams, Chloe." For some reason this made her smile, which lead her into a happy dream, about Alek. It truly was a sweet dream.

Author note: 1-you didn't really think they were going to kiss so soon, did you? 2-And no, they aren't sleeping together, either. But keep dreaming :) 3-Review!
