"Chloe stop, STOP" Brian said, as he caught up with us. I was nearly dragging Paul around the corner, "I was only trying to help you, I meant what I said I'm in love with you Chloe King and I know what you are" I guess my heart was supposed to melt in his hands right then and there, but I couldn't trust him. I knew that he was danger, funny how I might of hurt him but he was literally going to stab me in the back.

"Pathetic" Paul said "That's how it always goes- bad guy tries to make up for what he did and later on betraying the hero. Helpful side-kick risks his life to save her and BAM! We win"

"Thanks for the comic book advice retard but I'm trying to have a conversation" No. He. Didn't. I punched him in the nose, this was not cool! He didn't just call my best friend a retard! We took off running again, this time back into my job area. Panting and listening to what Paul was saying about that being freaking awesome I went back to work.

"Oh, um... Exes you know?" I told Lana and she just nodded, she owed me a little more than my job back so it all played out pretty good. Alek and his friends were gone by the time we were back though, I frowned inwardly, I knew though I did the same thing sometimes to him. Blocked him out, and hung out with my own people. That's life I guess, I shouldn't get jealous of his friends. That's not good foundation for a relationship.

"Tell me about your new guy" Lana said interupting my mindless folding of the wife-beaters (Under-shirts) that we had. "He seems cute, he's been around here before though. A boy your age?"

"Finally" I mumbled and went back to what I was doing. Lana didn't drop the conversation like I wanted her to do, instead she continued going on about how Alek made sure I was on time and I seemed to be less distracted in the past few days than I usually was. "Can you turn that up?" I asked as an unfamiliar song came on. Amy walked into the store showing me something on her phone.

Alek Petrov is MARRIED to Cheryl :) Lovett

"People do that all the time" I said and then started paying attention to the song instead of the jealously raging inside of me, I wanted to call that boy up and ask him how immature he had to be. If he was jealous of the time I spent with Brian than he needed to realize that BRIAN is trying to kill me. I'm not the bad guy in this situation. "Maybe their just friends" It was like the stuff coming out of my mouth was completely different from how I was feeling.

I don't think of you Every day and night I got things to do
Yeah, I'm doing alright So, I can't explain
Why in times like these I nearly go insane
When you're not here with me
(Chorus) Oh, I know its really over
And you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, Oh I wonder Oh baby,
I can't help but wonder
Who's kissing you tonight
Oh, and it's the jealousy
That's hurting me
So, why can't I let it be
Why can't I just let go
Oh, but the thought of you
Somewhere with someone else
Doing what we used to do Feeling what we felt
(Chorus)
Oh, I know its really over
And you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, Oh I wonder,
Oh baby, I can't help but wonder
Who's kissing you tonight
Oh I know its really over
And you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right Still I wonder,
Oh I wonder Oh baby, I can't help but wonder
Who's kissing you
Who's kissing you tonight
Who's holding you tight
Aw, who's kissing you tonight

Amy half smiled nodding to me "Yeah, you're probably right... Anything new in stock?" Thanks Amy, I thought to myself as she kept me on track of my work instead of thinking about something else.

"Red or White?" I asked holding up two different shirts that were the same style "Maybe orange might be a better color on you if you're thinking about getting that Hat"

She just looked at me with tight eyes, "I think the red one would look good on you" I rolled my eyes, my mom would freak out if I wore something that low cut and it wasn't one of those shirts you could add a tank-top under it to make in acceptable. "I'll buy it for you!" No stopping her, and of course Lana would encourage a purchase from her.

"Fine, I'll wear it sometime"

"Study date tonight, come alone" Study date night was important to us, we gathered around a circle table with alll our books and pretended to study while we read articles from cosmo and funny captions in Paul's comic books. Sacred things, no outsiders aloud!

"I'll take you up on that, we can talk about our problems" Hmm, I love it. "I'll bring the crack" I jokingly said.

"I'll bring the seasons of Japan!" Amy laughed as she walked with her bag of our clothes throwing the red shirt at me. I texted my mom telling her what I was doing tonight. After hours of doing the same boring things I got the signal to close up, finally right? I changed in the dressing room and then left the place running to the meeting place, old shirt in my bag and a smile on my face.

That's why you always have good friends backing you up all the way even though sometimes you make bad choices! Amy was sitting next to Paul holding a white bag with a tree on it. Season of Japan tree, "Yum" I said.

"I told you, that shirt looks great!" She mused as I opened up each box seeing which one looked better. "So..."

"So..." I repeated after her and she smirked "I don't think anyone was following me but hey, you never know"

"Did you bring the crack?" She asked, I pulled out my bag of Dum-Dums. If she ate all the blue ones I was going to hurt her. "Goodie!"

"How's Alek" Paul asked, of course he asked about him. That was his little man crush.

"Last time I heard from him, was at school when he called me 'King' and told me that I looked nice" Amy just laughed at my sarcasm "and then he said you were his favorite out of the group"

"Not uh! You lie!" Amy squealed as Paul's face rose into that Paul smile and dropped "Paul, baby you're my favorite in the group"

"You're lying too!" He said upset, it made me burst into laughter. I loved my friends, the way they could just be so stupid to the fact that nothing was the same.

I was biting on a dum- dum when my phone lit up, it was Alek and I was a little un-interested to answer it. I wasn't mad at him- well yeah I was mad at him. "Hey" I said when I answered it, he was probably looking for me.

"Hey" He said calmly, I heard the sound of guy's laughter in the background "I have a math question"

"And I have crack and Season's of Japan in front of me, I have to go" I told him in anger, hanging up on him "Guys, let's go to my house and record a new video for Paul's channel"

"Yeah, are we dancing or are we going to talk about problems?" He said before he got excited.

"Dancing duh" He let himself get excited, we walked out of the secret place and to Amy's car. She was trying out new songs like 'Bedrock' which was playing right now. I was doing the new music thing with her as well, she and I started singing. When we pulled up to a red-light "Whatcha say" came on and we just started singing louder.

"My ears are bleedin'" Paul commented as Amy came to one of those jerk-you-forward stops. "And I think I just broke something" Amy mocked him making funny facial expressions. I took their hands as we ran inside, my mom wasn't home yet. That was great, Amy beat me up to my room screaming at the top of her lungs when she opened the door.

"Alek" I yelled as he came into view.
