For those who have been following my other story, this is the sequel. My other story was Back to normality, right? In case you want to read that to know what's going on with this story. This story will only be short. But I hope you like it anyway. c:


Chloe's POV.

I closed the box, sticking tape on it to keep it closed. I moved it with the rest of the boxes. I stared at my nearly packed room and sighed. Not a sad sigh. Noth a happy one either. I was moving out this big house and moving in with Derek. Don't get me wrong. I loved the idea but it scared me. We were only 21. Still quite young. I sighed again.

"Stop sighing," Tori wondered into my room. "I can hear you from the bathroom." She plopped onto my bed.

"Yes Tori. You can come into my room," I looked at her.

She waved her hand. "Won't be your room for much longer."

"Gee thanks," I shook my head.

"You know what I mean," she grinned, leaning back on her elbows.

"I-I do," I sighed. "It's just...weird. Moving out and away from everyone..."

"Wait," Tori shot up. "Don't tell me you'll miss me!"

"No duh," I rolled my eyes. "Of course I will."

"You better."

"Glad to know I'll be missed too."

"'Cause you wiil," Tori smiled and hugged me. "Your like my ghost sister."

"Thanks witchy."

I hugged her back tightly. I would would miss Tori. The way she still fights with Simon. How she flirts around with Johnny even though they've been together for a while now. I would miss her a lot. She was like my sister. And even though I wouldn't be far away from her, I'd still miss her. She pulled back, grinning wickedly. I got up and backed another box.

"You know this is just the first step," she said.

"What?"

"In getting married."

"Ugh!" I shuddered. Everyone knew how I felt about getting married this young. "Don't even go there."

"First it's moving in together-"

"Tori."

"-Then it's getting married-"

"Tori."

"-Then little puppies-"

"That's it," I threw at shoe at her. "Out!"


I stared up at the ceiling. I couldn't sleep. I had an early day tomorrow, but I still couldn't sleep. I turned my head. The glare of the clock told me it was nearly 3 in the morning. I shook my head, sliding out of bed. I crept down the hall into the kitchen. I made myself a hot chocolate and slipped into the table chair. I took a sip then sighed. I should be trying to get to sleep but I just couldn't. I was staring at my hot chocolate when I felt someone poke my shoulder.

I glared up at Johnny then hugged him. Johnny had been gone for 2 weeks visiting his parents. Tori hadn't shut up about him since the minute he left.

"I'm so glad to see you!" I said into his shoulder.

He laughed, hugging me back. He slid into the seat oposite me.

"I didn't think you'd be back till tomorrow," I smiled. "Not that I'm not happy to see you."

"I thought I'd come home early and surprise Tori," he sent me a look. "Not that I thought anyone would be up this late."

"Couldn't s-sleep," I shrugged.

"Excited?" Johnny smiled softly. "You two belong, you know? You and Derek. You'll hardly miss me anyway."

"Oh? Why's that?"

"Because I'll be over all the time!"

"Oh no! You'll be that smelly man living on my sofa!" I mocked horror.

"Hey. Smelly is a little harsh," he winked.

"I'll be happy to have you over," I smiled brightly.

"Good. 'Cause see that box?" He pointed to an empty box. "I'm hopping in that, being loaded into the truck and following you home."

I just laughed. He stayed serious then burst out laughing with me. We chatted for a while more. I felt more tired and went back to bed. By the time my head it the pillow I was dead to the world and packing day was here.
