Derek POV
Did Tori really just ask me that? The Queen of Darkness that thinks of none other than herself? I sat there just starting at her in disbeleif. She gave a small laugh and said,
"I'll take that as a yes." and then walked outside to where Chloe was on the deck. Tori put her hand on top of Chloe's head and Chloe, being the jumpy little thing that she is, spun around and fell off her stair. Again Tori just laughed as Chloe got up and gave her a glare, just as Simon came in to the kitchen.
"Hey bro. Whats up?" he asked as he looked to where Tori and Chloe were now sitting. He walked past me, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and then sat down beside me. "Are they actually getting along?"
"For the most part." I grumbled. Just then, as if to prove my point, Tori laughed and Chloe glared at her giving her a small shove. I wounder what they're talking about...
"So I was planning on showing Chloe around the Safe House. Wanna come with?" Simon asked bringing me back out of my thoughts.
"Uh... Sure." I think Simon was just trying to be polite because his face dropped a little bit.
"Awesome bro. I'll ask Andrew if he has anything planned and then we can go." he got up out of his chair to go search for Andrew.
I looked back to Chloe and Tori. Now they were just listening to Chloe's iPod. The only reason Tori's even still with us is because Chloe wanted her to stay. I think Simon and I would have had no problem leaving her with the Edison Group,But Chloe would never have let us. She sees the good in everyone.. No matter how little there may be. She's also the only person besides Simon who sees me as Derek and not the big dangerous werewolf. Even I know I'm a monster but Chloe wont listen to that. She's helped me a lot, the changes and my attitude both.
Chloe came stopming back in then with Tori at her heels smirking. Chloe spun on her heels and tryed her best to look Tori in the eyes.
"Tori serously stop it!"
"But Chloeee! It would be so cute! We could dye your hair a nice black instead of this dull one, and get you green contacts!" Tori gave Chloe an inocent look.
Chloe blushed so hard that her face was a shade of red I'd never seen before. Suddenly Chloe looked around and saw me sitting at the table.
"H-hey D-derek." she gave a little wave and then ran away. Tori burst out laughing. I didn't know The Queen of Darkness could luagh so much in such a short time. When she finally stoped laughing she smiled at me.
"Don't be too upset Derek. I'm trying to help you here."
"Help me how?" What is she talking about? She's not helping anyone she's just embaressing Chloe.
"Duh Derek. God I didn't know someone so smart could be so dumb! I'm helping Chloe admit her feelings to you. It's not working well though..."
I grunted and got up. I needed to get away from Tori. We should have just left her there...
Chloe POV
Oh my God!! Did she really just do that?! I mean, I knew she would probably say something in front of him but black hair and green contacts?! Was that really necassary?
I was in my room as I thought this. I was sitting on my bed listening to my iPod on full blast so I wouldn't hear if anyone came by.
I felt something tap me on my shoulder. It was cold. I turned and saw my one of my best friends from Lyle House. Liz!
"Liz! Oh my gosh im so glad you found us!" I took out my earbuds and turned off my iPod.
"Yeah, when your a ghost it's not too hard." she smiled at me and I laughed a little bit. "So.. You and Derek?"
There was a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I turned and saw it was Derek who knocked. Liz started to laugh. "Not funny Liz..."
"Liz is here?" Derek asked.
"Yeah. She says Hi."
"Uh... Hey Liz. Anyway Chloe Simon wants to show you around the house and explore some, and he wanted me to see if you were coming." Was it just me, or did when he say Simon, did he sound a little upset?
"Um yeah sure Derek. Tell him I'll be right there."
"OK."
"Hey Derek wait! Are you coming?"
"I guess. He asked me to earlier."
"Alright I'll be there in a sec." And with that Derek left the room.
