Chapter 6
Jasmine comforted me as we both sat against the wall of the dark classroom. The desks and chairs were giving off some odd shadows, they were giving me the creeps. Once I finally stopped crying I looked at Jasmine as she released me from her embrace, I didn't really feel any better.
"Chloe, are you really going to listen to what they say?" Jasmine asked me in disbelief.
"I can't really help it, but Jasmine, its their emotions too!" I wailed putting my head it my hands, "I'm overwhelmed! There are so many emotions and they're just jumbling themselves together and I can't keep it in!" I brought my knees up to my chest in despair, "I don't know how much more I can take" I whisper out, after a moment of silence. Jasmine smiled sadly before pulling me off the dusty classroom floor and giving me a tight hug.
"How about you wait it out until lunch, and try to block it out, okay?. If its still too overwhelming, I'll get my mom to get us out of here." Jasmine offered while smiling. "Unfortunately, then you would have to go through empathy training." She continued making me chuckle.
"Okay." I agreed nodding as we began walking out of the classroom.
"Just focus on things that will calm you down." Jasmine suggested as we went our separate ways; I had just made it to my locker when the bell rang. I quickly switched my books, trying to keep my composer in the crowded hallway. It didn't take me long to find a distraction as Amy stomped up to me.
"So you go over there and then proceed to not talk to me for the rest of the weekend." Amy had on her pissed off face as she crossed her arms in front of me. I was about to answer, but she continued. "So, imagine my surprise when I come to school and you're dating Alek!" I could feel her anger and jealousy, it was making me extremely uncomfortable.
"Amy, Alek and I aren't dating! And I'm sorry that I didn't talk to you, I've just been busy." I shrugged, trying to fight her feelings as they strived to take over my own.
"Everyone knows you stayed there this weekend." She whispered venomously.
"And? He invited his friends over to watch a football game, they saw me." I shrugged. "What's wrong with them knowing?"
"Everyone thinks you're a slut Chloe!" Amy exclaimed looking at me oddly. "No one has ever seen you hanging out with Jasmine, so they assume that you are just using her to sleep with Alek."
"They're wrong." I sighed, shutting my locker. I turned around and my eyes landed on my least favorite person in the entire school, Alexis Kendall. Alexis was the 'most popular' girl in school, she had perfect red hair, perfect green eyes, and perfect teeth. All in all she was perfectly fake; she was the head cheerleader and Alek's self-proclaimed soul mate. I was suddenly overcome with a wave of confidence and disbelief; I smirked and turned to Amy. "I wouldn't have to use Jasmine to sleep with Alek." I stated to her matter-of-factly before turning on my heel and strutting to my next class; leaving Amy in a cloud of confusion.
The confidence high I got from Alexis left me as I rounded the corner; I began to sulk to my next class. Walking over to my seat next to Paul I was happily greeted with his excitement, which lifted my mood.
"Hi Paul!" I smiled happily at my friend, who waved back at me.
"Hey Chloe! So, anything I need to know?" Paul stated happily.
"About?" I asked unsure, though I was happy to have my comic book nerd friend at the moment; I was focusing on his emotions and his alone.
"You and Alek!" He whispered excitedly. I could of sworn Paul had a man-crush on Alek; he lite up everytime he talked about the British Mai. "As your sidekick I should know about any potential relationships that could distract you in battle." Paul stated making me smile. He wanted to protect me like the big brother he is to me; and also he is the only one who said potential relationship.
"There is nothing really going on with Alek and I, though we did hang out a bit this weekend." I blushed, not wanting to go into details with Paul.
"Alright, I'll take your word on it for now." Paul whispered as our fourth period math class began. Mrs. Pierce was a tough teacher who gave you no free time in her class; so Paul and I didn't get a chance to talk as we did our work.
I felt monumentally better as lunch rolled around, everyone's emotions were calming down to the point where I didn't feel them anymore. I happily walked into the cafeteria, and grabbed the cheese ravioli. It looked disgusting, the cheese was hard and slightly browned and there were only three raviolis on the plate. I wrinkled my nose in disgust before grabbing a side salad and a water; I quickly paid and went to sit by Jasmine.
"Hey." I smile, unscrewing the top to my water and taking a few sips. My eyes searched the room for that perfect mop of blond hair.
"Hey, feeling better?" Jasmine asked the obvious question as I nodded.
"Much." I smiled as we began our lunches, both of us wisely avoiding our cafeteria's attempt at Italian.
"So, how about tonight we all go get some real Italian?" Jasmine chuckled as she moved one of the raviolis around her plate in disgust.
"Agreed." I laughed. We ate rather quietly until Amy joined us.
"Sorry about my fit this morning." Amy apologized while setting a chocolate pudding cup on my tray and giving me puppy-dog eyes.
"Is this pudding from Whole Foods?." I asked, looking with longing, I would save it for last.
"Of course." Amy smiled as Paul joined us.
"You're forgiven." I smiled again looking around.
"So tell me, what is really going on with you and Alek?" Amy asked excitedly, I rolled my eyes, I was about to tell her that I didn't want to talk about that here, but I never got the chance.
"Nothing is happening between her and Alek, he would never sink so low." Alexis was suddenly standing behind Paul. "Do you realize how pathetic you are? Going around spreading all these rumors, poor Ally Bear isn't even here because he is so embarrassed!" Alexis exclaimed, throwing her hand over her heart to add dramatic effect.
"Alek is at a team meeting." Jasmine spoke like she was talking to a toddler.
"Oh, the anti-social freak can speak?" Alexis smiled evilly, making Jasmine's eyes ignite with anger.
"Yes I can, you delusional bitch." Jasmine fired back taking everyone by surprise.
"What did you just call me?" Alexis screeched, calling the attention of the rest of the students.
"A delusional bitch." Jasmine repeated slowly. "If you really think Alek likes you then I have news for you. He really doesn't, he thinks you're desperate. Plus, he isn't into redheads."
"So, everyone can make exceptions." Alexis shrugged, "How would you even know? You and him may be cousins, but he never acknowledges you." Alexis scoffed.
"They live in the same apartment." I looked at her, this girl was just screaming punch me "They hang out a lot, and they're actually really close."
"How would you even know?" Alexis looked me up and down.
"Because Chloe has been to my house. Hell she's staying the week with us because my mom adores her. You know, my mom, Alek's aunt that has raised him since he was seven, and is like his second mother." Jasmine was getting tense, she didn't like the way Alexis was talking.
"Oh let her be, Jazz." Amy giggled. "You can't fix crazy." Amy smirked, taking a sip of her water.
"Who's crazy?" Mike asked as he sat down beside me. "Sup Chloe, you know my offer from the other night still stands." He smirked looking me up and down.
"Obviously its you Mike." Alek joined pulling Mike up by the back of his shirt and taking his seat. "Anyway, Jasmine, I'm going to be late tonight, going to Terry's after practice, the Lakers are playing. Tell Aunt Val for me." Alek stated while grabbing my water and taking a gulp.
"Hey!" I exclaimed as he set it back, like nothing happened.
"Why can't you tell her?" Jasmine asked confused. Alek shrugged before dumping what was left of his iPhone of the table. "Not again, Alek!" Jasmine exclaimed
"I was able to save the sim card this time at least." Alek shrugged before turning to me. "Think you'll be able to make it without me, King?"
"Oh, it will be hard but I think I'll manage." I told him in a sarcastically-sweet way.
"If you're sure." Alek shrugged grabbing my pudding cup and taking the first bite and eating the majority of the whipped creme on top.
"Alek!" I exclaimed grabbing my pudding in horror.
"That's really good." He said looking at the pudding cup curiously before shrugging and leaving us to go and sit with his fellow Jocks. When we turned back to where Alexis stood, she was gone.
I was standing on a roof top, looking contently over the San Francisco skyline; the city was beautiful during the summer. I smiled as I turned around and faced a girl, she was beautiful and I think she was Latin.
"Oh, hi Mimi." I smiled happily at her, but she wasn't showing the same emotions. She looked at me as if I had committed some sort of crime against her. "Are you alright?" I asked her uncertainly.
"You're the Uniter." She stated simply.
"Um,... yeah we were already introduced?" I was extremely confused.
"He hasn't told you about me, has he?" Mimi started walking closer towards me, I tensed up. "Of course he hasn't, why would any man tell his new sex toy about his last one?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked her in confusion.
"Alek." She stated.
"Yeah I kind of got that part." I assured her standing up. The light throw blanket that I had brought onto my roof fell off my legs, revealing the barely there night shorts I was wearing underneath. Mimi's eyes zeroed in on my left thigh.
"He marked you?" She whispered, sounding truly heartbroken.
"Yes, and I marked him too." I stood up tall, glaring at the Mai in front of me. Her eyes again focused on the mark, widening as she took in the teeth marks in the middle of the scratches.
"As his mate?" She said weakly before her eyes filled with hatred. "You bitch!" She screamed, running at me, I braced myself for an attack-
"Chloe, wake up!" I was sitting straight up in my bed, Alek's eye barring into mine.
"Alek?" I asked confused.
"Jasmine told me you broke down today." He whispered caressing my cheek.
"Yeah, this empathy thing sucks." I shrugged. We stayed in an awkward sort of silence before I decided to open my big mouth.
"Do you know anyone by the name of Mimi?" I asked him, and by the way he tensed and his eyes widened, I'm guessing he did.
"Why do you ask that?" He asked me fiercely.
"I had another dream, and a Mai named Mimi came up to me and was saying how you never told me about her." I explained quickly.
"Did anything else happen." Alek asked stiffly.
"I was marked, and I said that we had marked each other. Then she flipped out because apparently we had marked each other as mates too." I said, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Last summer Valentina took Jasmine to Turkey. I didn't want to go, so she sent me to stay with the Vegas Pride. There were five Mai girls around my age and the leader of the Pride was trying to set me up with one of them. So he let me 'try them out' and I slept with all of them. But Mimi was the only one I could stand to associate with outside of the bedroom." Alek explained, looking surprisingly ashamed. He leaned against my headboard and rested his head back, pinching the bridge of his nose. I hated the pain that went through my chest at his words, the stinging in my eyes that made me blink rapidly.
"Do you think that Mimi is your mate?" I asked weakly.
"God no." Alek scoffed.
"Did you mark any of them?" I was fighting tears at this point.
"No Chloe, it was just sex." He explained, reaching towards my thighs but I shied away from him.
"Why didn't you tell me about them when we talked about Natalie?" I asked.
"I was ashamed, Chloe. I don't want to tell you these things, not to you." He whispered.
"Is there anyone else I should know about." I asked him, standing up from my bed, I all but stomped to the window.
"No." Alek answered.
"Okay, you can leave now." I stated harshly turning to him, my arms crossed and my eyes narrowed.
"Chloe, don't you get it? Don't you realize what Baset has been trying to tell you?" Alek's eyes were begging me.
"That I'm suppose to be with you." I admitted quietly.
"Yes, something I knew all along!" Alek beckoned me towards him and I reluctantly went. He reached for my hand, which I placed in his. "Chloe, there is a reason I'm ashamed of what I did. Its because I've found my mate now, I never thought I would and I resented the thought that anyone would pick who I would love for me." Alek ran his hands over my thighs and lifted me until I was straddling his lap. "I know better now. I'm so sorry that I can't give you that; I carelessly gave what was yours away." Alek looked me in the eyes. I was shocked that he was admitting all of this. He wasn't acting like himself at all.
"I love you, Chloe." He looked at me. "I'm done fighting this." He chuckled before grabbing me by the back of my head and smashing our lips together.

Sorry for it taking me so long, The 19th was my birthday, so I didn't write; and all I could seem to write after Tuesday's episode was:
Brain and Mimi were tied up on the wall, looking terrified as the authoress sharpened a blade while laughing manically.
"Time to die." She whispered gleefully before throwing the knife at Brian's head, it missed but he peed his pants... success. Then the authoress grabbed a hammer and happily beat Mimi to a pulp for even THINKING that she was allowed to touch Alek. She then proceeded to take the knife and stab the wounded Mai in the ovaries, allowing her to bleed to death. Our noble authoress then turned to the scum of the earth.
"Brian Rezza." She breathed out, before stabbing him until her arm began to get too sore to handle. She laughed at the two bodies before lifting her blood stained hands into the air and screaming "CHALEK IS AVENGED!"
