Paul stood bluntly in front of Chloe, her first thoughts were why was he here tonight and the second was the answers to that thought. To stop her from ever moving on from Alek, of course if he said the words right now Chloe would pack her bags and jet off to find Alek wherever he might be at the moment and profess her love to him at the moment. Yet, Chloe had maintained that pride that never told her exactly where her heart was at. "Don't go out tonight" Paul panted, Chloe just bowed her head.
"And why not?" She asked like a little child "It doesn't matter if I do or not"
"Yes it does!" He yelled and turned around and then back to her in a speed only caused by anger "God!" He repeated his motions and then continued on "I get that Alek hurt your feelings and trust me I speak from expirence but get over it."
Yeah get over him denying his child, that might be a new record on the list of things she needed to get over. What Paul needed to get over was the fact that Alek wasn't god, or wasn't always right at what he did. It was as if Paul read her mind and he said the words in a hushed whisper "He was wrong"
"Yeah Paul, he was wrong. I was wrong for ever thinking for a second that I could waltz in and start where I left off with him after all these years I avoided coming back because I had Sawyer and I never wanted to see him get hurt but then Alek ruins all those years of planning, and thoughts because I never imagined he'd tell me I was lying" Chloe Paused and flipped her hair in frustration "and I never thought I'd say it but I'm sorry I ever came back"
"Chloe..." There was no reasoning with Chloe, and after all that rushed speed and miniture hope Paul was out of any other explanation to why Alek said what he said. How could he come up with something rational when he had never been in that place. Instead of sidekick he was playing marriage concil and it SUCKED to him. Paul had just gotten married himself, and he didn't notice him sitting down and putting his face into his hands.
"Paul" Chloe asked as he just sat there looking through the spaces of his fingers. "I love Alek with all my heart and you know that, and I love you with all my heart because you're like a brother to me but face it- it's just not going to work"
"I think it's my fault" That beautiful british voice echoed through the room "And I was stupid to say all those things to you and I will regret them for the rest of my life but Chloe- I love you with everything I have and I've been neglecting to tell you that for a long time" Chloe just looked at him with shock reflecting in her cat eyes
"Alek-"
