okay, so I was listening to "Haunted" by Taylor Swift while reading about a Halloween costume party. And I thought, "what if Derek messed with Chloe, like ditched her, and Tori and her planned a revenge party?" So, here's my little thought come to life.. hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Chapter 1- I don't need this

"What did I do wrong?" I asked my reflection. And my reflection looked nothing like me. My dyed black hair was now dyed a honey brown. It was longer, and now reached my shoulders. My pale blue eyes were blood shot, like I'd been crying. Which, I had been. I was pale, normal. But the tear stains and flushed skin were far from my normal expression. I looked, tired, sick, and depressed. Which I was. Tired, from my lack of sleep. Sick, in my heart, that I some how was not good enough. And depressed. I was thoroughly depressed and didn't have my wolf to turn to either. Another tear made its way down my cheek and I brushed it away angrily.

"You did nothing wrong Chloe. It's his fault." Tori whispered, as she came out of the bathroom we shared. "Heck, even Simon is mad at him. He has no idea what a prize he lost. You did nothing. You hear me? Nothing." I nodded, knowing better then to blame myself for another's actions. But it was kind of hard when they looked at you with disgust and annoyance. Like something was wrong and it was all your fault.

"I know." I muttered. "It just is really hard to see when we were doing so well." I was going to cry, just not in front of Tori. I would do so when she was asleep and I could scream into my pillow.

"You know, isn't your birthday in a couple days?" Tori asked, her eyes alight with mischief. It made me scared. What did she have planned? "Well, I think we should throw a party. And show the mutt that he was a complete moron."

"He's not a mutt!" I said fiercely.

"This just goes to prove that he lost something valuable. You continue to fight for him, even after he ditched you for that little rich girl."

"Oh Tori." I whispered and this time, I didn't stop the flood of tears and they coursed their way down my face. The pain was horrid. It was as if he was right there, sayng those awful words again to me. Again. And again. And again...

"I don't need this Chloe. I don't want the trouble that you bring. Don't need it. You are just a hopeless, helpless, spoiled, little brat. Worse then Tori, because at least she doesn't confuse people. Doesn't manipulate them. You are just two faced liar. I don't want or need you. You don't meet any expectations. You're a horrid person. So don't come to me later, begging me for help. I won't do anything. You have to learn to deal. You are just a tiny, annoying, little child that doesn't know how to do things for herself. And this time? I'm not apologizing. The only one needing to apologize is you. You have no self respect, so get lost. And don't come asking for forgiveness."

It would have been easier if he had just called me a witch and left it there. His entire rant had left me more empty then when Tori had bullied me. And since I know he doesn't think highly of Tori, the comment stung horribly. He said she was better then me, and coming from Derek, that was saying a lot. I like Tori, I really do. But to be compared to Tori and placed lower, was worse than you could possibly imagine.

"We'll make him regret the day he said, 'I don't need this, Chloe.' So tomorrow? We are going shopping. Then planning your little birthday celebration. Alright? He'll come crawling back." Tori said with so much emotion it was kind of hard not to believe her.

"Alright, Tori."

So? So? What did you think? I think that the way Derek told her Tori was better was a little much, but it made it all the more emotional. Anyway, was it a too OOC? Should I fix anything? Was there anything that was excessive? Anything?! Reviews people. Reviews! This is one of my first short stories, and I could really use pointers!

Toodles!
