Cleo's POV
Claire got me a jacket for Christmas so I went over to the Fates house to show Alex. "Hey babe" I said. "Hey" She smiled. "What do you think?" I asked. She hesitated as she looked at my jacket. "I like it. It makes you look hot" she said. "Was I not before?" I asked. "No you were, but that makes you look really hot" she said. She sounds unsure. "Ok what is it?" I asked. "What?" She asked. "You cant fool me. Come on, spit it out" I said. "Its nothing" she shrugged. "Come on babe" I hugged her from behind. She didn't say anything. She just leaned back into my embrace. I sighed. "I know you're hating on yourself again. You're beautiful babe. I love you." I said. She smiled softly, not believing me. I kissed her head. 

Alex POV
I walked into the courtyard at school. My eyes widened seeing Cleo with another girl. Cleo saw me and ran over. "Hey babe" she smiled. She was gonna touch me but I slapped her hand away went to sit down. She stood there looking dumbstruck. "Wait!" She ran after me. "What's wrong?" She asked. "I don't know. Why don't you go ask your girlfriend?" I asked. She looked at me confused. "I just did" she said. I face palmed myself. "Hold on... are you jealous?" she smirked. "You know that answer, and how could I not be with Chelsea crawling all over you! I knew this was gonna happen in that stupid jacket!" I sat down. She looked at her jacket, then at me, and sat down next to me. "You need to stop doing this" she said calmly. I huffed. "No, I mean it. I want you and only you. You may not think so but I do" she put her arm around me. I looked away. I don't have the strength to look her in the eyes. "Look at me" she moved my chin with her finger. "I won't talk to her again ok? She's annoying anyway." She shrugged. I huffed a laugh. She leaned down and kissed me. 

Cleo's POV
I'm at lunch sitting with the fates, kai and Marlow. I have my arm around Alex. I got a tap on my shoulder. My ears perked up and I turned around. "What do you think your doing?" Chelsea asked. "Eating lunch?" I said confused. "Ugh, what are you doing with her!" She snapped. I huffed angrily and stood up. "She's my girlfriend Chelsea" I said. I have my hand in my back pocket, holding onto my collapsed stick. "Id say you made the wrong choice" she side-eyed Alex. I growled at her. "Oh is puppy mad?" She asked. "Ok. You're done!" I yelled. I pulled out my stick and started beating her with it. Alex and Kai pulled me off. "No fair, you have magic!" I yelled. "Cleo!" Kai snapped. I looked behind me to see an administrator. "Oh shit" I mumbled.

I got suspended for a week. My parents grounded me at my sisters. "You're really not gonna let me go out?" I asked. "No" Claire said. I sighed. "That's great because now I can annoy you all-" I led on the word. "What are you doing?" she asked. "Shut up I'm not done. All week long" I smirked. "You're gonna do that until I let you go aren't you" she said, annoyed. I blinked at her a few times. "All-" she cut me off. "STOP ok you can go! Jeez" she said. I grabbed my stick and walked out the door. 

I walked to Alex's room and didn't even knock. I swung open the door and she stared at me like I was crazy. I jumped onto the bed and curled up next to her. "Hi baby" I said. "How are you here?" she asked. "I annoyed Claire" I said. She smiled. I love it when she smiles. "Thank you for defending me" she said. "Of course. Ill always defend you" I said. "Even if we're not together?" She asked. "Impossible because I'm never leaving you" I said. She smiled again. "Hey babe?" I asked. "Hmm?" She hummed. "Ill make a better effort to stay away from girls like Chelsea, if you make a better effort to love yourself the way I love you" I said. She sighed. "I guess I can try" she said.

Marlow's POV
"Hey beautiful" I walked up behind Lemmy and wrapped my arms around her waist. She jumped at my touch. "Its just me" I said. She calmed down. We're in her room. "What's this?" I pointed to a paper. She crumbled it with her magic and threw it across the room. "Lemmy" I growled. She looked down embarrassed. I walked over to the paper but she used her magic to make it come back to her. "I'm getting really sick of this" I said. I used my magic to bring it to me. Her eyes widened. "Didn't see that one coming did ya?" I asked. I opened it and she fell face forward onto her bed. "Is this a poem?" I asked. She sat up and shook her head no. "What is it?" I asked. She looked over at her keyboard. I smiled. "You wrote a song?" I asked. She blushed and looked down. "Can you play it for me?" I asked. She shook her head no. "Why not?" I asked. "Its bad" she whispered. "It looks fine and I'm sure its not as bad as you think" I said. She looked up at me, begging me not to. "Please?" I asked. She sighed.  She took the paper and went over to her keyboard. She plugged it in and stared at me. "I'm listening baby" I said. She turned back to the keyboard and started playing. 

I didn't know she was such a good singer. When she was done I clapped. "That was amazing baby!" I exclaimed. She blushed and looked down. I picked her up and kissed her. "You are too cute." I said. "Put me down! I don't wanna be cute." She complained. "Oh please. You can never not be cute." I said. She rolled her eyes. "You should really put this out there." I suggested. She huffed a laugh. "I'm serious Lem. You have some real talent." I said. She shrugged. "I'm a Fate, Marlow. I don't have room for another job." She said. "You and I both know that the strings will measure themselves if you're not there." I said. She sighed. "I don't know." She said. I smiled. "Good thing you've got time to figure it out." I said.
