Author's note :Sorry about the confusion in the past chapters. I know it was eh:/ and I am really glad for your reviews and constructive criticism .See? This is what helps a author improve her writing. Let me start this out by saying I had to write that chapter in that weird kind of point of view, I know but I felt it was a necessary but don't worry it was a first and last time so don't get mad at me. The next chapters will either be in Chloe or Alek's pov but mostly Chloe because it sucks to do Alek but I do it when I feel it needed or a high demand. Enough with my blabber, ON TO THE STORYYYYY:D:D

OH AND THOSE WORDS IN ITALIC AD BOLD...they're song lyrics and they are composed by the veronicas in a song called "Could've been" ...I chop off some off the repetitive words

Chapter 2:Mouth Shut

Do you ever wish that she was me,
Ever close your eyes, and think about what could've been...

"Now I sure this may come out a little harsh, but what exactly can Mimi train me on?" I asked, rolling my eyes as I sat on the sofa in Valentina's apartment.

Now I'm usually not one for training, but I actually looked forward to it today. Maybe I just need something to get my mind of the drama, maybe it because I am in the mood to train to become the best uniter to my abilities, or maybe it had something to do with the Blonde hair sarcastic protector.

But imagine my surprise when I knocked on Valentina's door and Mimi opened it. It not that I hate her, I just dislike her personality and appearance and her existence...well that does kind of sound like hatred so screw my earlier objection. I just don't like her, plain and simple.

Could've been.

I don't know what bothered me more, the fact that she went and sat on Alek's lap or the fact that she had to train me.

Mimi didn't need to answer my earlier question because Alek cut her to the chase and said "Jasmine is attending a couple of events in New York for 1 week since Valentina has more important duties to do here and Mimi offered to take her position for the timebeing."

"Couldn't you have just taught me?" I questioned ,as I narrowed my eyes in confusion." I could but I do need some rest, and you're quite a handful especially when you're with that human of yours and to be blunt, we both don't want to spend a large amount of time with each other so I find that this suit us well for the time being "Alek said, not once looking me directly in the eyes."

No" I said ,standing up from my position. "What? Did you just say no" Alek said in confusion and anger.

" I said no...N-O,Now this may be 'blunt' but I don't like Mimi nor do I trust her and I not going to die or put me or my love ones in the hands of someone who could easily betray me." I said glaring down at Valentina ,Alek ,and Mimi .

Valentina who was silent throughout the whole ordeal finally choose the proper moment to speak up." You don't have to worry Chloe ,she is competent and a good fighter. You need to have no worries, She will protect you as well as Jasmine would or even better"

That was one thing l dislike about Valentina. She always put her daughter down and Jasmine was as close to a sister as Amy was to me.

My phone choose the wrong moment to buzz .Taking it out of my pocket, It was from a email...from my dad. "uh excuse me, I be back".

I find it hard to Breath,
When I sleep at night you haunt me inside my dreams...

Inside my dreams

I announced stepping out the complex. The email said " Be careful Chloe, The people who you trust with your life maybe the one that will try and end it."

What the hell was my father on? He couldn't possibly know about me being a Mai.

I reply back with "What are you talking about dad? Are you ok? Where are you?" My father had been missing in action for such a long period of time but the memories I had of him left a mark on me that I couldn't forget.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't noticed Alek had sneaked up from behind me. I jumped in surprise when I turned to find him staring me down." What the hell Alek? Don't sneak up on me like that" I said putting a hand on my racing heart."

It would have only taken 60 seconds.10 seconds to get up the stairs,5 to realize that you were not in the complex,10 to realize that you were not aware of your surrounding,5to plunge a sharp knife in your back,15 seconds where you where say your last words, and 5 seconds to see you take your last breath and 10 to run back where I came from and you would have lost a life" Alek said with a blank expression was confusing.

Look at me, In my eyes.

And tell me that you feel nothing inside.
Cause I can't wash you off my skin...
But I can't see you ever again.

He had so many angles, so many different personalities and so many perspectives and I could never placed my finger on the attitude he would have with me. Maybe he was bipolar, but he would jump from mood to mood, serious to happy, to sad or angry. He was weird, different and a mystery.

"I am sorry" I said confused because nowadays I didn't know what I apologize for half the time. "No, There are no sorrys or no apologize. You could have been killed "Alek said bluntly.
So I'll forget I love you,

"In 60 seconds" I said mockingly."60 or 20 seconds ...It doesn't matter. You always let your human brain take over your Mai abilities. What? Are you going to apologize to the Mai if you had one less life because of your foolishness ?"Alek said furious

Don't want you anymore...
I'll keep on lying to myself, cause we could've had it all...
And you should keep pretending that I'm only just a friend,
Can you look me in the eyes and say that it's worth it in the end?

"Did you just call me a human brain? And no ,I don't even know what the heck I am apologizing for because hello if you haven't noticed I haven't died so lessen the exaggeration and drama queen antics because I still kicking .AND I NOT FOOLISH"I said pissed now as I made my way to the elevator."

You can't keep running from your problems "Alek said pointedly.

"Oh I not. Here me facing them. I don't want you as my protector. I don't want you near me. You're infuriating, and you always point out my flaws. And I not going to apologizing for my letting my heart and brain take over my Mai abilities. I not sorry for being raise as a human, I not sorry for caring about the people I loved, or for the fact that I would let myself die over and over if that meant that my family and friends would live or that I would trade my mai powers just to be who I want to be. And now I not sorry for taking you out as my protector because I don't trust you...at least not anymore." I said ranting never once looking at Alek face because I know that at the end of the day ,I am going to regret this decision.

Again...

But I need a break, so when the elevators door opened I step in. Once I made it to the first floor ,I texted Jasmine," Can I meet up with you in New York?"

Do you ever wish that she was me?

Chapter's note: I know that some probably won't like the rant of Chloe to Alek but she going to meet up with Jasmine and I needed a big reason for her to want to go to New York. Will Alek follow her or will he stay by Mimi's side is the real question. Send me a review with your response to this question. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, understand why I need to make Chloe have a breakdown and send me reviews telling me if I should fix something or add a little something :D
