Authors Note: Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating this in so long. Please don't hate me. Anyway, last chapter I said this was going to be the last chapter. I lied. I kinda want to continue this. Still don't know how long it's going to be. So, enjoy this chapter and review please everyone!

Simon's POV

Breath. Stay calm. I thought to myself.

As much as I loved Chloe, I wanted her to be happy. Even if it means that Derek makes her happy.

Though, how could she be happy with him? I mean he changes into a wolf. I on the other hand cast spells. He loses his temper; I don't. I just can't understand any of this.

I don;t really think Chloe really likes Derek. She's just to shy to admit her feelings to me. Simple. Once she realizes that she doesn't have feelings for him, she will run to me. Of coarse, I will accept her with open arms.

Why do you think I let Chloe "Up"?

Derek POV

While Chloe and I were walking back to Tori and Simon; all I could think of was when Chloe kissed me. On the cheek. I know this is going to sound girly, but it's true. I felt sparks fly. Girly I know.

I looked down to see Chloe looking up at me. I smiled a little. She blushes and turned away.

Our hands brushed against one another; making us both jump back. We both turned around to each other, my face heating up. I felt like I needed to something, anything. The look on her face said that she was trying also. Yet, came up with nothing.

I looked down at the ground, figuring out what to say. I heard Chloe coming towards me. I felt her hand on my arm. Looking up, those beautiful blue eyes were staring up into my own eyes.

"Derek, what's wrong?" She asked with concern in her voice.

I looked down at her. What I wanted to say was I love you though I couldn't.

"Nothing." I huffed. Why couldn't I tell her the truth. That I needed her. She kept me sane. I tried, yet failed.

"Really, because it looked like you wanted to say something." She said. Trust her to notice everything. One of the things that I loved about her.

I took a deep breath. "You wouldn't understand." I grumbled. "Lets just get back to the others. Okay?" I asked.

Chloe sighed and stepped right in front of me. She got on her tip toes, grabbed my shoulders and looked in my eyes.

I tried to look away, though she pulled my face over to her. She's tougher then she looks I thought.

Eyeball to eyeball. "Derek, I can tell somethings wrong. Tell me. We've been through a lot, you can tell me anything." She pleaded. Her eyes demanding me to.

I just sighed. "I know I can tell you anything. That's the problem. I just can't say this time." How awkward would it be if I told her I loved her? I mean, she's just getting over Simon. I don't want her confused.

She frowned. "You can't tell me. Really? After all we've been through? I've watched you while you Changed." She looked down, then said quietly. "I though we could trust each other with anything. I guess we can't."

She started walking away. In the wrong direction. I ran over to her and grabbed her elbow, and turned her around. She looked at me with hatred in her eyes. I flinched inside.

"What?" She asked. She's mad.

"Chloe, I can tell you anything. I just can't tell you this one thing. Trust me. Okay?"

"Why should I? You can't trust me." Stubborn.

"Really. If I told you, I would scare you away. Do you want that?" I asked. I couldn't believe it. Did she want to be afraid of me? Also, I didn't think this is the right time to tell her I loved her.

Chloe looked up at me. "You really think you can scare me away?" She asked. Then more quickly "What I mean is that we've been through a lot. I can handle it."

I stared down into her eyes. Her blue eyes were widen with intensity. I had to make a decision. Tell her and make her scared. Or not to tell her and make her mad at me. I didn't like either option. I came up with an idea. Hoping that she won't get mad at me.

I took a deep breath before saying anything. "Chloe, I can't tell you right now. I promise that I will tell you when I can. Just don't be mad at me. Okay?" I don't like seeing Chloe upset with me. It takes a lot to get her un mad at someone. Especially me.

She sighed, got onto her tip toes again, and grabbed my shoulders. She was looking into my eyes. "Fine. When your ready. You can tell me."

Relief. I smiled a little. I heard her gasp. I guess she never seen me smile before, I don't know how long it's been since I've smiled.

Before I could react to anything, Chloe pulled me up into a hug. I wrapped my arms kind of around her waist. It was awkward. I have no idea how long we were standing there.

"Look Simon, it looks like wolf boy and ghost girl are hugging. Isn't that sweet?" Tori asked Simon.

Chloe and I jumped apart, very quick like. I looked over at Chloe and saw that she was blushing. Awkward.

"What's wrong guys? Was this a private moment?" Sometimes I really hate Tori.

I growled. Everyone jumped back a bit. "What do you guys need?" I asked.

"Well, as you might know bro, we are on the run. Tori and I both got worried and came looking for you. I don't think it's safe to be off 'hugging' each other." Simon said with a smirk.

I sighed and walked out of the forest with everyone.

One thing was for sure. Simon wasn't over Chloe. Not even a little bit.

Once again I'm sorry for the long wait. Look on mine and my sister's joined twitter account DoubleTroubleFF for more updates on this. And sorry if this is short. I'll make it longer next time.
