Chapter 7: You mean more to me then my harry potter limited edition DVD collection
Even with Derek skipping grade 2 he still was ahead of his class and everything was way too easy for him. He liked his class though he even made a friend named peter but no matter what Chloe and Derek were still best friends, Playing tag at recess cops and robbers. Him always letting Chloe catch him when she was it just so they can be it together. Sitting together in the cafeteria and still trading sandwiches. Derek's love for strawberry jam never faded. Even though Chloe and Simon had moved their love on to turkey sandwiches. Despite being in different classes everything seemed to stay the same between Chloe and Derek. Except one thing a certain red head boy of the name Nate was trying to steal Chloe away from Derek he was certain of it. Even though the boy was quiet Derek knew the boy hid behind shy smiles he himself wanted Chloe to himself. As long as Derek was around Chloe would be his best friend not Nate.
"Derek, Nate and I are just friends you're my best friend and nobody could ever replace you I promised you that remember we pinky swore." Chloe said as she they walked to the front of the school to be picked up. He smiled up at her because Chloe only spoke of the truth to him. She never broke one of their pinky promises ever.
"Of course I remember that we pinky swore. I guess your right I mean this summer marks our fourth year as best friends." They both smiled at each other. Could it already be four years that they been friends? The years have been speeding by but it also felt like they been friends their entire lives. Everything that happened before he and Chloe met was a blur. He couldn't remember not having his best friend. Over the time span the two have changed since they first met. Chloe's bleach blonde hair was slowly fading into a more strawberry blonde colour. She grew a little more than she was; she lost some of the baby fat but her cheeks still plump.
Derek continued to sprout; he even fit in with all the grade four boys and even towered over some. His hair completely night black but he was still on the skinny side.
It was Kits turn to pick up the kids from school since Chloe lived next door to Simon and Derek it only seemed right they carpool. Knowing Derek's dad he was going to be late so they both sat on the benches, Simon still playing on the playground.
Chloe grabbed the bag from the ground and pulled out the container of strawberries Annette packed for her. Offering the container to Derek he popped a couple in his mouth. He was thinking the first time he ever saw Chloe he smiled up at her and thought girls still had cooties but when he grows up and has to marry some lady to be his wife he would choose Chloe. I mean they were best friends it would be like it was now right? They had sleepovers, ate the same dinner, played at each other's houses and practically were already family.
Interrupting Derek's thoughts Liam and Ramon and there lame friends came up to the friends
"DEREK AND CHLOE SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G FIRST CAME LOVE THEN A BABY CARRIGE."
"Will you guys ever grow up?" Derek said with an annoyed look on his face.
"Oh look we've upset poor Derek, Chloe why don't you go get him a tissue so he can go cry." Her light brows knot together. Its one thing to make fun of her but when someone teases Derek it's a whole different story. He didn't do anything to fight back he just always took it. He had self-control whereas Chloe could care less. Her tiny feet stomped in front of the tall mean boy.
"Leave Derek alone would you? What's your problem anyway we have never done anything to you so why don't you just get lost Liam." The tiny blond glared at the boy with fury. Derek didn't want to make a big deal out of anything so as he reached for the blonde Liam pushed her down. Derek's nose flared, stepping in between Liam and Chloe. Giving Liam a look he turns around and reaches for her hand bring her up the ground. Helping dust the dirt off her jacket he turns to face Liam.
"You better leave now Liam before you make me mad." His face hard as stone, he's not joking which scares a part of him. He knows he should listen to his father. Be the bigger person and walk away because their words don't mean anything. But Liam pushed past just words, he could have hurt Chloe. Liam steps closer the Derek.
"Derek!" Kit calls from the care not wanting things to get out of hand for his son. Grabbing Chloe's hand Derek walks around Liam and his group of friends. Climbing into the car Derek feels like his head is going to explode he can't stay still so he settles for taping his foot. His father looking in the rear view mirror concern written on his face.
"Derek" Chloe's voice pulling him out if his anger. "You ok don't worry about Liam he's a tool."
"And not the sharpest in the shed either" Making him smile was like breathing with Chloe. That just how best friends were always there for each other. They laugh and everything just magically goes back to normal.
Derek and Simon are leaving for the long weekend to go visit a family friend named Andrew and Chloe's dad's still working everyday so he had to call in a babysitter.
"Chloe hurry up and get in the tub before I call your dad you know I'm in charge." Screams Gabriella screams she's the newest babysitter. Not wanting to upset her she jumps into the tub but her mother's necklace gets caught on the sliding down to the tub. Braking the clasp from her neck. Biting her lip, she's going to get in trouble. Deep trouble she was told never to talk it off ever. Putting it on the counter she decides she's going to get the babysitter to try help her fix it after she's done her bath. Leaving the bathroom smelling of strawberries. She shows the babysitter the necklace and begs for help. Even resorting to pulling what Derek called her 'secret weapon' puppy dog eyes with a side of pouting. However
Chloe's not allowed downstairs, which is where the toolbox is. Which Gabriella told her to get.
"Chloe don't be lazy do you want this fixed or not?" She could see the annoyed look on the older girls face. She wanted to impress her show her that Chloe Sanders was a big girl that wasn't scared of anything and sometimes was cool and broke the rules. Then when Derek got back she would tell him that she braved the basement and all about the adventure she had when he was gone.
Giving herself a pep talk as she was at the top of the stairs looking don't the dark basement her dad only used it as storage nothing more. The stairs creaked all the way down and the light switch was at the bottom of the stairs. The slap of her bare feet hitting the cement at the bottom of the steps echoed. Reaching on her toes she stretched for the light switch.
Something made a creaking sound behind her to the right. She right away turned around, nothing but darkness the only light coming from top of the stairs. Turning quickly flipping the switch she sees the tools she races towards it.
"T… brr…ight" a voice whispers. Her minds playing tricks on her she knows it, maybe it's the babysitter playing jokes on her. Either way Chloe doesn't want to show any weakness. She snatches the bag the hits the lights running as fast as her little legs could take her.
"Nnn. Ot... Liiii...Ght...You" She doesn't care what she thinks the babysitter can bring the thing back down stairs herself. Knowing she won't believe Chloe she doesn't tell the babysitter. She's not sure she wants to even tell Derek about this. What if they thought she was crazy would if she ended up like her mother. Another thing Derek didn't know was that her mother wasn't right. She would do what most kids were good at she would keep quiet. Placing the necklace back to its rightful place the babysitter tucks her in for bed. Chloe doesn't want to think, girls at her age aren't supposed to have these worries but she does.
Soooo my lovely reads it's been soo long I wrote this chapter 3 times the first 2 came out as more fillers but I'm so bored of fillers and some people have been questioning why Chloe's mom in the hospital some of you might have guessed if not (hint: why is she so protective of Chloe wearing the necklace.) but to come a surprise guess you'll never guess who! And more chlerek to come. But did you like my twist to chloes basement story? And I just wanted to say thanks to the reader who went the extra mile and PM me encouraging me on asking for more next chapters for you (you know who you are ;) ) So REVIEW/FAVORITE/FOLLOW please every single one means so much to me
