"Hey! ALEK!" Paul yelled pushing me down, I hit the floor- Did I mention the few sneaky drinks that Paul, Amy and I might of had. That made it easy for me to fall and start laughing, I hoped Alek didn't know why we were acting like this. Amy was holding her knees laughing at me and Paul was trying to pick me up but failing epically. We need to get him to work out a little more, that would be great.
"Chloe..." Alek said as he got away from the bed and walked towards me. "Amy and Paul, I think you should go home"
"We could say the same thing to you mister!" Amy said swatting at him, maybe it wasn't exactly sneaky drinks but more as taking the bottle and passing it around.
"Get out" He demanded, and I didn't like his tone. So I followed my friends, getting out as well. "Not you Chloe" He rolled his eyes and pulled me back. "What's wrong?"
"You like me right?"
"Obviously" He said back, he was treating me like a little kid when I was able to understand what he was saying. I was able to get that he liked me, but how much did he like me.
"Then I don't want to be in the privacy of my house or yours all the time, would it kill you to pretend you're interested in me? I'm sure that I'm not the most popular girl in the school and not that many people know me by Chloe but if this is ever going to work I'm not a secret" I paused, I sounded serious I just hoped he was taking it as serious as I wanted him to. "I have enough secrets to keep from everyone, and I never wanted you to be one of them"
"I'm sorry" He said in a whispered tone.
"For what exactly?" Of course, I knew what was coming up next. You don't say sorry like that unless you're about to break someone's heart.
"I can't" He said and I just looked at him with my blue eyes.
"Then go" I pointed to the window "I'm sure someone else can do your job" He did as I told him, stopping for a second opening his mouth and then deciding against it. I walked downstairs to see my two best friends, sobered up and ready to offer any advice needed.
"Chloe!" I heard Jasmine yell as she broke into my house "Where's Alek?"
"I wouldn't know" I said "Last night we got in a fight" I explained and Jasmine just looked down at her feet, again a look most kids would know by now. I would know by now because I'd seen that look before in my mom's eyes "He's gone isn't he" Jasmine nodded, and asked me what our fight was about "I don't like being the secret girlfriend, and I don't think anyone does"
"I see" She said and then left, I sighed throwing my pillow across the room. That's was it, I had lost someone I loved right, I had lost a best friend, and I was so angry. This wasn't my fault, I didn't see why he was over-reacting, I should be the one leaving.
It really takes a hit on you, someone wouldn't risk their social status to be with you. That's low- that's really low. I thought Alek was so much more than that. Guess not, he'd be back soon but I didn't want to see his face around. Ever.
Define hurt, and times that by ten. It wouldn't help to just lay in this bed for the rest of my life- and I wasn't going to do one of those months of depressed girl acts. I had to get out of here with Amy. "Amy, road trip" I said into my phone and she agreed happily saying she'd be there in ten minutes. I washed, and put on a pair of skinny jeans and a dark blue shirt with a black bulky belt around the waist. I walked downstairs, ignored my school bag and opened the door running out to see Amy just pulling up.
"Hey" She said taking my outfit in "Better?" I shrugged and got in the passenger seat.
"6 hours to L.A. with minimum pit stops" I informed her, she just giggled and started to speed off down the street "My mom will freak out"
"What about Valentina and Jasmine?" I didn't really care at the moment, A song I liked was on and I was going to live it up and have the best day possible today in L.A.
"Cutting through the darkest night of my two headlights, trying keep it clear but I'm losing it here to the twilight" We sung together, I loved this song.
"Ahh the sun light" Amy said as we got out of her car, looking around at the beauty in front of us. This was our get away for most things, we'd come home late and they'd just know where we were. Until then, I'd be free of my problems. I'd be free of guys, we talked about going to the beaches maybe, or looking at the famous graves of stars but we never did either, we just walked around the streets hoping we didn't get lost. While talking a ran into someone, looking up I thought I'd seen a God maybe.
Looking up, I'd thought I seen a cat eyed fool who took me in with a smile "Hello" He said to me and Amy.
"Chloe" I said holding out out my hand, he proudly shook it and then started gushing about how he knew the Uniter would show up here eventually, Amy forced me to accept the coffee he was offering both of us. She mouthed about him being cute as we walked into a coffee shop, I knew why I was here. To forget about a certain mai- but it was so hard when I was looking at someone that I could see myself with.
"I'm excited" He admitted "How long are you here for?"
"Not long, just a random visit" I laughed "with my best friend Amy" He smiled at Amy who probably melted, I just looked at him trying to understand what was going on right now.
"This may seem forward but would you like to go out sometime?" it was very forward, but it was good. He handed me a card with his number on it.
"Yeah, that would be nice. You know where to find me I assume?" I said with a smile and then grabbed my cup of coffee and pulled Amy out of there.
"You so have a date!" Amy squealed like always, "Wow!" we wander the streets looking for Amy's car for a long time, when we found her car with got in and started our drive back. She took the card I had in my hand and programed it into my phone. Skater Boy started playing and Amy was singing it at the top of her lungs, I tried to take a nap after our quick visit in a peaceful world.
It was really dark outside when Amy dropped me off, My mom's car in the drive-way and the dream I had haunting me. I had dreamt about my dad, it was so hard to think about him most of the time. "Thanks Amy for getting me out of my head"
"Any time biotch" She grinned "Call that guy TONIGHT!" She said as she drove off. I walked inside to see my mom not alone, but with Valentina in the room with her. Why was Valentina in my house? Great.
"Chloe!" My mom yelled hugging me, I still had my coffee cup and card in my hand. She took both, "Who's Johnston?" Valentina's eyes narrowed.
"A friend in L.A." I said feeling Valentina's glare, "Yeah I skipped school and went to L.A. with Amy today, Sorry I skipped out on that meeting we had Valentina" Meeting meaning Training.
"I was worried" Valentina stated "but I guess you were safe today" I had a feeling this mai would be in my room by the time I got upstairs. She walked out of my house, and only I could hear her soft foot-steps re-entering the house.
"I'm glad you're O.K., We'll talk about this later" My mom said in a sigh walking up the stairs ahead of me, she was in her pajamas and looked like she was really tired. I told her goodnight and then walked in my room. Valentina was going through my journal.
"That was stupid" She told me, looking up from my things "I should be happy that you're safe and everything but I'm worried that this is going to be reoccuring"
"Reoccuring how?" I looked around my room, did she think I was going to be running away or something? Because that's not my plan.
"I understand that Alek hurt your feelings but-" I cut her off with my hands.
"This isn't about Alek anymore" I lied "This is about me, just me and my life and I can do what I want with it. I get the part where this is no longer my life to live. That was very clear, but I'm going to unite my human life with my mai life"
"I guess me being here isn't going to change anything then" She looked displeased "I just wish you would've told me where you were"
"I was safe, and I was a little angry you're right." I tried to think of a better way to say it "Alek hurt my feelings, and was the main reason Amy and I went off but I met someone"
"Johnston is a nice boy" She commented and jumped out my window for the night. I called Johnston after that had we had a three hour conversation.
