Chloe Pov
"I am going to do it. I have to eventually. Why not now" I told myself.
"Are you talking to yourself again?" Tori asked, coming into my room. I could see she was about to launch into another one of her famous reprimands; until she saw the look on my face. "Just tell him how you feel, I'm sure he feels the same way" she said plopping down next to me on my bed.
"But what about Simon?" I asked.
"Who cares about Simon?" she responded.
"Ido".
"Well I don't. You shouldn't let him stand in the way of your happiness".
"I know" I sighed.
"Then GO!" she said, shoving me out the door.
"Pushy, pushy" I muttered on the way to Derek's room.
He opened it when I was about a foot away from the door. "Hey Chloe, what's up?" He asked.
"We need to talk. Can I come in?" I said. He stepped aside and opened the door just enough for me to walk through.
"So what is it?" he asked shutting the door and standing beside me.
"I love you" I blurted before I could stop myself. I covered my face with my hand.
The room was silent. I peeked through my fingers to find Derek standing there frozen with shock. "Derek?" I asked worried. I looked down at my feet wondering if I made a mistake.
"This was a mistake, maybe I should go" I muttered heading for the door.
Suddenly Derek sprung to life. His arm shot out and grabbed mine. "Don't go" he said.
I turned around to find him staring at me. I blushed and looked at the ground. His finger gently pushed my chin up so I was looking at him again. Then he said the words I had been hoping he would say for months.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting, hoping you would say that" he said never taking his eyes away from mine. I shook my head. "Chloe, I love you too" he said.
His words filled me with so much joy that I thought I was going to burst. And I nearly did, because a second later, he leaned down and kissed me. Fireworks exploded and it felt so good that I never wanted it to stop. We had to though, because Simon had just walked through the door.
