Only in one POV
Derek's POV
We were having a campfire tonight Simon's idea and Lauren was staying late at work not that I minded of course,
"Derek can you grab the food?" Simon called from the top of the stairs carrying a bunch of blankets,
"Simon it's a campfire it's not like were spending the day outside!" he rolled his eyes at me,
"Well Tori said-"
"Tori said since when do you listen to Tori?" I asked and Simon shrugged, "she said Chloe might get cold and if Chloe got cold you'd get mad and take her inside and I want everyone at the fire!" I rolled my eyes grabbing a blanket from the top of the pile,
"I'll make sure she has one," I told him and he let out a breath,
"Do we need to sit on blankets?" he asked and I raised an eyebrow,
"Tori?" he nodded and I rolled my eyes, "just make sure there are dry logs to sit on around the fire pit and queen Tori can bring herself a chair." Simon nodded running into the woods where apparently he 'found' a fire pit. I walked to the kitchen grabbing the two picnic baskets full of food and started back into the living room when two hands covered my eyes,
"Guess who!" Chloe's voice asked even if I couldn't tell her voice apart from Tori and even if Tori touched me her smell would give her away. The way her hair that was tickling my neck smelt of strawberries but I decided to play with her dropping the baskets,
"Tori?" I asked faking confusion,
"Nope," she giggled again and I smiled,
"Hmm Simon?" that made her laugh harder and I made up some other name,
"Krissa?" no laugh followed this one and the hands slipped from my eyes turning around I barely saw Chloe's back disappear around the corner and up the stairs,
"I'll go change for the campfire meet you out there," her voice was soft and sadness echoed inside it,
"Derek come help me!" Simon shouted from the woods and I grabbed the picnic baskets trudging towards where I could hear Simon struggling.
I found Simon pulling on a dead skinned tree and I rolled my eyes,
"Nee help?" I asked and I shot me a 'what do you think' look and I put the baskets down raising my hands in a 'I was just asking',
"Baskets can go near the cooler," I turned to see a campfire pit three tree were around it all of them skinned and dry I placed the baskets down and went over to help Simon together we picked up the tree and made a box around the fire, "the other three were already here but no one wants to sit with Tori that one is for Dad and you and Chloe will want to sit alone." I looked to the ground and Simon watched me,
"Ugh Tori and Chloe will probably sit together," I told him,
"Why?" he questioned and I told him everything that happened.
We all sat around the blazing campfire Tori had somehow agreed to sit on her own and told Chloe she wanted to lay down on her own log. Chloe rolled her eyes at her friend and sat beside me I caught her watching me a couple times and then Simon pulled out a guitar and I glared at him. He said I had to fix my problems and when he had brought up singing I'd said no there was no way in hell that I was going to sing to her but Tori's eyes glowed and she looked at me,
"Hey lets here Toto sing!" she shouted and Dad smiled,
"He can sing," he praised me, "he can sing really well but he plays the guitar better!" I glared at him and he gestured at Simon to pass me the guitar. As my hand gripped the throat of the guitar I knew what I was going to sing. I started on the guitar playing the notes and tuning it they all watched me intensely and it was a wonder how I even remembered the chords but as my finger strummed over the strings I began to sing. I turned to face Chloe and I sang to her,
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
She watched me and I sang louder meeting my eyes with her and hers widened,
I don't wanna waste the weekend,
If you don't love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it's time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
I closed my eyes opening them I glanced around the fire Simon was smiling, Dad was swaying to the beat and Tori was shocked. I turned back to Chloe and her mouth opened a little and my name escaped her lips,
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't take what you don't need, from me.
I looked down and watched my fingers strum over the chords closing my eyes I pictured the first time I kissed Chloe in her room at Andrew's safe house I remembered how Simon had interrupted the time I was going to kiss Chloe how he interrupted us in our first kiss and at the Edison Groups building,
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
I opened my eyes to see a tear fall down her cheek shortly followed by another one she was smiling though and that gave me the hint that she wasn't upset,
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting the regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
She smiled at me and I took her in her bright blue eyes her strawberry blonde hair that fell around her caressing her face her favourite green sweater and a pair of ragged old jeans everything about her perfect,
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don't take what you don't need, from me.
The way her lips pulled up into a smile and her tears reflecting the fire as her did her eyes making them sparkle evermore,
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my
I let the words speak all the truth Chloe truly was my everything, my love, my heart, my life, my heaven, my other half. 'My mate' the world whispered to me and I accepted it,
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
aooo
aooo
She had all of me and I was worried she didn't know it. She held my life in her hands and she could do what she wanted with it I would always be there dead or alive,
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
You are my heaven
"Chloe you are my heaven," I whispered to her and she took the guitar from me handing it to Tori before launching herself into my arms kissing me. Usually I wouldn't kiss her in front of my Dad but this time I ignored that anyone was here kissing her back until both of us were breathless. Pulling back both of us trying to catch our breaths she leaned into me,
"I love you Derek," she whispered burying her face into my shoulder taking a deep breath,
"I love you too," I whispered back, "always will." And then everything went quiet only the crackle of the fire. I took a deep breath of her my love, my mate enjoying the silence until,
"Who wants marshmallows!" Simon yelled and Chloe pulled her face out of my neck blushing a bright red and I smiled lightly kissing her again.
