New Town, New Start
CPOV
We've been on the run from the Edison Group for six months now. The first few months were rough, always moving from crappy motel to crappy motel every few days. Now we are staying on the outskirts of a small town called Hartsley in Colorado, we've been here about two months now and have even been able to start going to school again. The good thing about this town is that it is one of those few places that people come to escape their troubles so the people here are very tolerant and don't really ask any questions, which is great for us. The house we live in is perfect for us, it has four bedrooms each with on suite bathroom, a fairly large living room and kitchen, another room downstairs that aunt Lauren and mr Bae use as the study and a fully furnished basement which is where Derek keeps his workout equipment. The house is also right next to the woods which is a necessity for anywhere we stay as Derek still can't control his changes completely yet but Mr Bae says that will come with tame and practice. Overall things are better now than they have been for months.

I reach over and press the snooze button and roll back over, it is so tempting to just roll back over and go back to sleep but i know i can't. and so the morning ritual begins. First i roll out of bed and place the alarm clock on Tori's bed side table and walk to the bathroom, after having a shower i go back to the bedroom to find the alarm thrown across the room with what looks suspiciously like a burn mark on it. Second i get dressed, today wearing some reasonably tight jeans and a red blouse, and then i walk over to Tori's bed and yank the quilt off her, after muttering a few choice curses at me she just rolls over and tries to go back to sleep so i grab the pillow off my bed and start hitting her with it until she finally gets up and toddles off to the bathroom to have her shower. I shake my head in amazement at truly how grumpy Tori can be first thing in the morning but at least she's always in a better mood by time she comes out of the bathroom. While she was gone i blow dried my hair, i finally had it back to how i liked it, strawberry blonde with red streaks, and applied a little make-up nothing special just some eye liner and lip gloss and left the room just as Tori came out of the bathroom.
When i got to the top of the stairs i saw Derek at the bottom and i bounded down the stairs and straight into his arms. Derek always waited to meet me at the bottom of the stairs just so that we could have a few moment alone together. Dereks arms tightened around me and as i leaned my head back to look at him his lips pressed down hard on mine in a way that told me exactly how he felt about me. When we heard clanging in the kitchen we pulled apart and a looked up at his face to see the smile that i had come to love and that still took my breath away.
" Hey" i said somewhat anticlimatic after a morning kiss like that.
" Hey" he answered somewhat huskily.

With my arms wrapped around Chloe i can't help but be amazed that this beautiful, petite, kind hearted little hellcat would want to be with me. I bend down to give her another kiss when i hear someone coming through the kitchen door so i pull back but still keep my arm around her tiny waist and whisper " someones coming" when she looks at me. Just then Chloe's aunt Lauren steps around the corner and gives us a funny look like she caught us doing alot more than simply embarcing. Chloe simply wishes her aunt good morning and starts walking down the hall towards the kitchen with me on her heels, arm still on her waist as always. I look back as we walk to see aunt lauren watching very closely, i can't blame her really, in the beginning she hated that me and chloe were together and in those first few weeks she constantly fought with chloe over it, but over time she has begun to accept how me and chloe feel about each other, though personally i think she just figured i would screw up badly enough sooner or later and that chloe will just end it. Since we moved here though she seems to have a new worry and judging by the fact that she has been going to great lengths to make sure that me and Chloe are alone as little as possible im guessing that she probably thinks that we're doing it.
By the time me and Chloe sat at the table i could hear Simon and Tori bickering as they came down the stairs.
"I do not like carl matthews, the guy is a total jerk!" tori almost shouted as she stormed through the kitchen dooe.
"Starting to sound a little deffensive there tori" taunted Simon, i couldnt help think that if he wasn't careful he was going to get a fireball thrown at him, apparently dad thought5 the same thing because he chose then to intervene.
"That's enough you two it's time for breakfast"
As we ate Breakfast i could hardly keep my eyes off Chloe. She has changed alot over thew last few months the most obvious being her strawberry blonde hair with the red streaks has grown to her mid back, she has also grown a couple inches which she is very pleased about but she is still the shortest in the year at school. But the most obvious change is the fact that her body has started to fill out her chest especially, which is something that alot of guys has noticed but luckily chloe seems oblivious to the looks of any guy but me. Chloe looked so sexy in the tight jeans that i just knew that whenever she walks in front of me today i won't be able to stop myself from staring at her ass, and then there's the red blouse she's wearing cut just low enough to show the top of her cleavage and tght fitting enough to show off her curves but loose enough to leave it to the imagination. I could swear she wears these king of clothes sometimes just to torture me, knowing full well that i wont be able to do anything about it while we're at school.
Just then she looks up at me with a look that clearly says she knows what im thinking and it almost makes me groan, this is going to be one of those days where i just can't get enough of being around chloe, then again most days are like that.
Thats when i realised my dad had been talking and everyone was looking at me.
"Sorry wh...what did you say" i stammered still a bit caught up in my thoughts about chloe.
"I said that you lot are going to have to amuse yourselves tonight me and lauren are going to be working all day and then we've got to drive into the city to run some errands so we might be home late."
Now that got my attention.
"What kind of errands?" i asked
"Well..um..." dad mumbled "i need to speak to an old aquaintance of mine who i think may be able to help us get in touch with other subjects of the experiments, but i don't want to get any of you're hopes up about it, for all we know it could be a dead end."
After that dad shooed us out the door complaining that we were going to be late for school again if we didn't hurry, which wasn't true we had never been late, not with the way i drive.
