Disclaimer: I do NOT own DP.... even though...it would be so cool

Chloe PoV

I looked out my window and sighed. The sun was just setting and the pink sky looked so beautiful, it reminded me of home. I wish I could be back home, and be with my dad. Everything would be normal and my dad wouldn't have to worry anymore. That's what I truly wanted. I touched my necklace. I missed my mom, and I wished she would come back, but there is no way to bring someone back from the dead. Unless you are a Necromancer. I looked out my window again, to see the leaves falling off the trees. Then I heard my stomach growl. I got up from my window seat and walked downstairs and into the kitchen, looking for something to eat. I walked into the kitchen to see Derek and Simon playing cards and Andrew making dinner.

"Hey guys, where's Tori?" I asked looking around.

Derek shrugged, he didn't even look up. He hadn't been talking or looking at me lately, we hadn't talked since last night, but even then, he barely talked. So, instead of Derek it was Simon who answered.

"I think she locked herself in her room. I asked her if she wanted to play, but she said didn't seem interested. Do you want to play?" He smiled, and my heart skipped a beat. Derek looked up and I looked into his bright green eyes. He blushed and looked down. Did Derek just blush?!?! No, he couldn't have, its Derek we are talking about.

"Earth to Chloe? You there?" Simon said getting up. He slowly came over to me and took my hands. "So, do you want to play?"

I felt my face get all red and I looked away. Simon grabbed my chin and pulled my face up and before I knew what was happening, Derek growled and shot out of his chair. We all looked at him, including Andrew, who looked more scared then shocked. I pulled my hands out of Simons and stepped back.

"Let's...play?" Derek said, as if he didn't know what to say. He looked around and then sat back down.

"Maybe not." Simon said as he started to walk back to the table.

"No, no. I want to play. Really." I said as I went over to the other side of the table to take a seat between Derek and Simon. When I looked at Derek and Simon they were both glairing at each other, but when Derek saw me staring, he looked back at the table.

"So, what's the game?" I asked looking at both of them. Derek's black hair covered his face, and I couldn't even see his eyes, and this bothered me. But when he glanced at me, my heart went insane. Derek looked back at the table, and Simon spoke.

"Crazy eights" he said.

"I've never played that before. How do you play?" I asked. I glanced over at Derek and he was looking at me. I looked away and blushed. Did I like Derek? But before I could get any farther in thought, Simon started explaining how to play.

We got through three games, when Andrew announced that dinner was ready. We cleared the table, and started eating. The food was delicious, but that was maybe because I haven't had a decent meal in forever. Tori joined us for dinner, but as soon as it was done, she ran upstairs to her room, and didn't say a word to us.

As we picked up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, Simon asked us if we wanted to watch a movie. We all said yes, except for Andrew, who said he had to go up the office and do some "paperwork." What for, we did not know.

We decided to watch Wolverine, because, well, Hugh Jackman is just so sexy. We all walked to the couch and sat down. In the middle of the movie, I felt my eyelids start to droop, and the next thing I knew, I was asleep.
