-ok, second chapter ! woohoo ! :) -
DISCLAIMER: I SADLY OWN NOTHING ! NOT THE CHARACTER OR DARKEST POWERS!
I fell back into a light sleep, waking up every few minutes to Tori twitching in her sleep. I sighed.. Why can't I just freaking sleep through the night? That's the worst thing ever... I can't sleep... where the one place I should be safest, it's the only place I dread.
I looked over at the clock, 8:30.. I guess I could get up now..
I dragged myself out of bed, hopping into the shower. It was so hot here. We were currently in Texas, trying to find a werewolf named Dustin. He was supposedly another Edison Group escapee, so we wanted to know how he got out.
I had an ice cold shower, and it felt so good, except when I got out of the shower it felt even hotter than before. I threw on a white tank top with little red and orange flowers lining the bottom, and a pair of jean short shorts. I threw my now blond hair up in a messy bun and went to sit outside by the pool. When I walked through the room I noticed Tori was still asleep in my bed and aunt Lauren was out cold on the couch. I sighed and walked out of the room.
As I got closer to the pool I noticed there was a figure sitting on the edge of the pool. I noticed it was Simon. He looked up to see me walking up to him, and he threw me a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. His eyes held so much saddness..
"Hey.." he mumbled, and motioned me to sit next to him.
I did, and I dipped my feet in the pool. He put his arm around me.
"How you holding up?" He asked, I tried so hard to hold back the tears...
"I don't think I am holding up very well... I keep having nightmares.. two of them... One he just leaves me in the forest.. In the other he swims away from me..." I hugged Simon close, letting a few tears slide down my cheeks.
I felt Simon's body shake slightly with sobs. He held me closer and tighter.
"I don't know why he'd leave... it's not like him... and he only left us a note? I don't know what happened to him.." I was shocked.
"He left you guys a note too?" I asked, Simon nodded. He handed me the note.
Dad & Simon -
I'm leaving.. I might be back.. After you guys split up with Chloe and Lauren.. I can't stay anymore.
Goodbye.. for now..
-DEREK.
I couldn't help but shake with sobs now.. He told them he was coming back, but only when me and aunt Lauren leave... he really didn't love you..
"No.. i think he really did love you Chloe..." Simon said as he looked down at me.. Oh.. I didn't even know I said that out loud.
I got up to walk back to the hotel room. I crawled into Tori's empty bed and cryed as silently as I could...
It was a good thing that aunt Lauren and Tori were such deep sleepers sometimes...
