I decided I wanted my job back, I walked into the store smiled at Lana. She gladly let me start again because she couldn't do it by herself adding the comment that I wasn't much help. "I need you to try on this necklace" She said putting it against my head. It was an owl with huge black eyes and a silver three part body. I did so. "It's horrible looking!" Lana laughed at my hands to the side of me like I was showing off something. "Oh well I want to see who buys it" I didn't think it looked horrible I just wouldn't wear it.

That's when the bell rung and Brian walked in with some girl on his arm. She looked crazy, wonder where he found her at. I mentally shrugged. "Ohmigollygosh!" She said picking up the necklace. Lana tried to hide a laugh as I looked at her and smiled.

"Hey Chloe" Brian said "this is my girlfriend Hannah" So, he was proud to call that his girlfriend? Okay, I hope he knew this wouldn't change a thing.

"Chloe what's that necklace you're wearing?" Lana asked me "I noticed it when we were trying on the new ones, and I wasn't going to say anything but it's such a beautiful chain." I pulled it out in front of Brian and that crazy chick.

"My boyfriend gave it to me" I said smiling "It's stunning isn't it?" I said to Lana, she was grinning at it. I could feel that she was a little jealous but that didn't bother me at all. It wasn't because she was jealous of Alek and me as a couple, just that he did sweet things.

"So is that like a promise ring?" Brian asked I was trying not to say what I wanted to say but it just happened before I could stop myself.

"Brian coming here with a girl from the asylum isn't going to change what happened, I don't like you. I wanted to be just friends but you didn't want that. Sorry, Now I'm with someone else that I really care about and I really love. Yes, It's a promise ring, because I can promise you what Alek and I have is forever" No lie. I thought to myself. Brian bought the stupid necklace and walked with his head down out of the store.

"You needed to say that" Lana said "I didn't want anymore crazy girls in my shop. Speaking of I don't see any blonde guys watching you from the coffee shop... Assuming that's Alek."

"It is... I know right. Amy and Paul aren't even here. It's a little weird" I folded the last of my clothes and heard the bell ring. It was Jasmine.

"Oh like old times" Lana laughed sarcastically "You can go" I thanked Lana and Jasmine and I walked out the store. I tucked my ring back in my shirt.

"So what happened today?" She asked me while I checked my chain.

"Brian came in the store with some mental girl trying to make me jealous" I said

"The words Brian and Mental are in that sentence. Fits. Is she under age too?" Jasmine asked.

"I don't even know but it was pretty awesome how I told him. I was calm about it, but I stood my ground." Jasmine clapped at that and we climbed into a cab. "It was weird not being stalked- oh I mean watched today"

"Someone is always watching you, you just can't see them"

"So it wasn't Alek or you then"

"No" We got to her apartment and I called my mom.

"Hey Mom" I said

"Hey Chloe" She said "Haven't seen you in forever kid."

"I got my Job back, dad stopped by and I had to tell off Brian today. It's just the way of life I guess" My mom said she knew that my dad was back and she figured I'd get my job back soon enough.

"Well, Do you and Alek want to come over for Dinner tonight?" She asked me I knew she was lonely. I hadn't been home to see her in a while.

"Sure!" I said "We promise to be there"
