Ok so it took me a VERY long time to update, especially since the update is so short but I hope you like it anyways. I kept procrastinating because I had no idea how to write this scene. For most fanfic simon is forgiving pretty fast. I don't know why but he seems a bit more stubborn then that to me so he'll be angry awhile im afraid. But hopefully my updates will be faster now because I know where this is heading. Its going to be awesome! Soon there will be a twist like thing that isn't super original but I havent read it in other Darkest power series fanfic on this site J (my apologies if someone did write the same twist-when it comes- I havent read all stories :P) so yea be excited. Plus im sorry if it does end up being slow but I have to history essays due VERY soon. Lol.
Thanks for reading!
Please comment!

Chloe's POV
I ascended the stairs, a ugly feeling in my stomach. My feet took me down the familiar path to Simon's room, even as my thoughts protested. I knocked.
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE DEREK!" yelled Simon. Then the sound of something being thrown at the door.
"It's me." I whispered. The door opened without another word.
"Did Derek send you?"
"N-n-no." I stuttered. He had never been so abrupt with me before.
He sighed: "Forget I asked." The door creaked open and Simon retreated to his bed after closing the door behind me. "I'm not speaking to him so don't even ask."
"He didn't mean to hurt you Simon. He cares about you so much, puts you before himself. If you blame anyone it should be me." I said truthfully.
"Alright." He must have seen the hurt in my eyes for he sighed again. "Why did you pick him Chloe? What does he have that I don't?" I stared at him and had absolutely no idea what to say.
Derek's POV
I paced downstairs, trying to pretend I wasn't just waiting. Wasn't doing nothing. Simon hated me. We had fought before but I had always managed to distract him. Get him to forgive me. Not this time. He told me to leave him alone. To never speak to him again. I hadn't realized till now how much I needed him. And now Chloe was up there talking to him. It seemed to be going better than my own conversation with Simon for I couldn't hear any doors slamming yet. Or yelling. But how would I know? Curse simon and his magic. In the many days of boredom here at the safe house Simon had managed to find a protection, sound-proof kind of spell. Something about super-hearing being unable to penetrate it. Normal hearing could though. I couldn't here a single noise out of his room. I stopped pacing and put my head in my hands. Simon hates me. I just ruin everything.
Simon's POV
I don't know why I just asked her that. I don't care why she chose Derek. She is just a girl. Just another girl. Who cares she's brave and funny, cute and amazing. Who cares. You do, my stupid inner-voice tells me. Why wont she just leave me alone anyways? She and Derek can just go and make out and leave me alone. Chloe stared at me, still struggling to answer the question I threw at her.
"Forget it. I don't care." I bark and I see her flinch. That hurts. "Can you and Derek just leave me alone? Just for a few days?" I tried to use a softer tone this time. She still looks hurt. "especially Derek." I cant help add under my breath. Backstabber. Honestly I thought it was bros before hoes or something. "Please Chloe?" I beg, for she still hasn't moved. How am I suppose to throw things when she wont leave? But my begging must have got to her for she nods her head and turns towards the door. I want to stop her. Grab her and hold her. But she doesn't want you, my voice comes back again, she wants your brother. My sympathy disappears and she leaves, closing the door softly behind her.
