As quiet as i can, i sneak back into the girl's hotel room. Tori is sleeping on her bed and Aunt Lauren is sitting on the couch, which she has claimed as her bed, looking at me with disappointed eyes.
"So, what did you and Derek talk about on your guy's walk." She asked, daring me to answer with something that'll disappoint her. A part of me wants to fight her on this. I know how she feels about Derek, well, werewolves in general, but that doesn't mean she can be as cruel as she wants to him. He did save and protect me many times when she was okay with handing me over to the enemy.
"We talked about life, and him and I, and being a couple. I generally like him, and i hope you do too." I told her, she cringed but dropped the subject. I guess she just doesn't want to argue right now. I think we are all done with fighting for a bit.
"What's this and being a couple with wolf boy?" Tori asks me. I freeze up a little.
"W we d de decided t to g go o out." i stuttered out. I internally scolded myself. I can handle myself against my aunt, but not Tori. Granted, Aunt Lauren has no powers, and Tori is a powerful Witch/Sorcerer, but i should be afraid of admitting i liked Derek, there isn't anything wrong with him other than the fact puberty hit him hard and he's anti-social.
"What, are you jealous?" I used as a comeback for my stuttering. Tori's face scrunched up.
"Hell no, you can keep him, i'll find myself a much better man than that." She says, her face still scrunched up.
"And for that, I am glad." Derek mutters while walking in. Behind him walks in Kit and Simon, Simon holding 3 boxes of pizza. I smile at Derek shyly, and he gives me a small nod, and sits on my bed instead of standing next to me. Is he embarrassed of me? Maybe he just wants some space. Am I doing everything too fast, was i not supposed to assume that we were a couple because we kissed?
Simon walked by Derek and Derek took the top pizza box from Simon and started eating a meat lovers pizza, still not looking at me. Simon then came over to me and led me to the couch and sat me down on the opposite side of aunt Lauren and sat down in between us.
"Can i offer you ladies the choice of either cheese or Hawaiian pizza?" I nodded and took a slice of Hawaiian pizza and ate in silence. Aunt Lauren took a cheese pizza, and Tori eventually came and got a piece of each, all while giving Simon a death glare.
"So, we have a few options." Kit stated after everyone finished their meal. Derek alone ate the entire meat lovers pizza and half the cheese pizza. He even walked over here to get the cheese pizza, and ignored me the entire time! I obviously messed up but i don't know how.
"and that is?" Derek asked. Kit looked around the room, his eyes lingered on me for a few seconds longer than everybody else.
"We can continue staying at this hotel room for another day, and head out tomorrow. Leave after this conversation, or wait till we know where we are going." Kit tells us.
"Why leave if we don't know where we are going?" Aunt Lauren asks.
"Well, we did just piss off a bunch of people, best if we get as far away as we can." Tori pointed out.
"Any ideas?" Kit asked, looking around.
"We can move to Canada!" Simon says.
"you do know the group we are running from is also in Candada right?" Derek tells Simon, and Simon looks down in his lap.
"Oh."
"Any other ideas?" Kit asks. He looks at my Aunt, the only other adult in the room. "Lauren?"
"Let's get as far away as we can. We can't leave the country, not with Chloe's father looking for her. Let's cross the country. I propose we move to a small state on the west coast." Aunt Lauren proposed. Kit nodded.
"I agree. For right now, that is the best option. I say we start with Oregan. It's an okay state, and nobody would be expecting us there. We will head out tomorrow, so everyone get a good night of sleep." Kit tells us, he then leads the boys back to their room.
"Last I recall, I don't call being ignored a relationship." Tori states. I glare at her.
"Maybe he was just hungry" I mutter. Tori shakes her head and climbs into her bed.
"Well I'm getting some sleep. Good night Chloe, good night Chloe's aunt. I don't want to hear wolf boy's name come out of your mouth while you sleep." She tells me. I blush and walk into the bathroom to get into my pajamas.
I walk out of the bathroom and go over to my bed. "Chloe?" I hear Derek whisper. I look over and Derek is leaning on the door frame.
"What are you doing in here?" I yell whisper.
" I wanted to apologize for ignoring you. I was just all caught up thinking about our next move." He says, walking up to hold my chin in his hand. "I'm sorry." He finished, bending his head down.
"Derek, shouldn't you be in the other room?" My aunt asked, finally anouncing her presence.
"Yeah, you guys can make out in the morning." Tori adds in. I blush and look at the ground.
"You're right Tori, we all know how much you need your beauty sleep." Derek tells Tori. She throws a pillow at him. " good night Chloe."
"Good night Derek." I respond. he nods and walks out of our room again. I walk up to the door and lock it.
"Chloe, go to sleep." My aunt tells me. I nod and fall onto my bed into a wonderful sleep.
