Chapter 11, the one we've all been waiting for. You asked and here he is! Derek. Yeah I just had to bring him back with style. He had to come back with a bang and what better way to do that then with a skank on his arm? Thanks for the reviews. I know some of you don't like Derek and I'm sorry. I realized I did make him sort of a douche but someone has to be the bad guy. The question is will he stay the bad guy or will someone else take that over? Oh the suspense! Hehe.

Here we go Again

Chloe's POV

I knew this had to happen sometime, but I did not expect it to happen like this. I watched the scene in front of me unravel. Things were being said to me, but all I could think about is Derek. He's back. And he's not with me.

When I first saw Kiley I wanted to destroy her. I wanted to sic an undead army upon her, make her scream and crawl in terror. I still wanted to actually, but my hands wouldn't let me. They stayed at my side, emotionless. I was still the limp and bleeding heartbroken girl Derek Souza left. And now he came back to pick up the pieces. At least that's what I thought.

But here he was, with Kiley, were they dating? How did she meet him? How could he leave me for someone so fake?

"Chloe." Tori said nudging me. I looked over at her; she had this pained expression on her face and was telling me to just listen to what he's saying. I sighed and began to listen.

"Hey bro." Derek said patting Simon on the back, I noticed Simon flinch a little; he was caught off guard too.

"What are you doing here Derek?" Simon asked a little coldly.

"Well funny story bro. I came looking for something and ran into this girl right here." He said nudging Kiley who had a triumphant grin on her face. "She asked if she could help me, she thought I looked lost. I told her that I was looking for this high school. Uhm uhmm Panther Valley High that's what it's called. And she told me she went there too, we got to talking and then we ran into you guys. Funny, what a small world." Derek said trying to keep his cool. He kept trying to catch my eye but I refused to look at him, instead I fixed my eyes on the booths behind him.

"Wait.." Tori said backtracking. "You said you were looking for Panther Valley high? Why is that?"

He chuckled. "There's my Tors, always so trusting. Well I'm looking for that school because I applied there. Apparently that's where it's at." He said winking meaningfully at Tori. I knew what he meant. There were lone wolves here and he was going to take them back to his pack. Is that the only reason he's here?

"Oh, that's so convenient." Simon said. "We're going to that school too. Where are you staying?"

"I'm staying with a buddy of mine." Derek answered. "His nickname is the beta. Weird right?" He added, noting Kiley's confused look. That skank.

There was a long awkward pause. Everyone was thinking this over, especially me. Derek, the once love of my life is going to the school with me and my boyfriend. What could possible go wrong right?

Tori broke the awkward silence. "So you and Kiley huh?" She said evil eyeing Kiley. Kiley flinched a little under Tori's stare.

"Oh, no. Nope, nope, nope. We're not dating, she's just a friend." Derek said looking at me. What did he want?

Kiley pouted. "Yeah we're not dating." She said and then in a fake whisper. "Not yet at least."

I stiffened at this. Simon, feeling me stiffen wrapped his arm around my shoulders trying to comfort me.

"So you and Chloe are dating now little bro?" Derek asked his voice in a deep growl. "I'm not sure I like that."

Simon stood tall. "Yes we are dating and it doesn't matter what you think anymore, you left her alone and broken." Simon hissed. Derek took a step forward. Oh no, not good. Please don't get in a fight; please don't get in a fight. Simon took a step forward too. Oh great, they're going to get in a fight, just what I- "NEXT!" the carnie called, signaling for us to get on the Ferris Wheel.

I sighed in relief. Finally, something to distract these two. We got on the Ferris wheel. It was sort of awkward though. It went like this, Jake and Tori in the cart ahead of us and Derek and Kiley behind us. Me and Simon were in the middle of the both of them. I felt the Ferris wheel start moving. Well, this should be just peachy.

We went around three times before the Ferris wheel suddenly lurched to a stop. Me and Simon were at the highest point of the Ferris wheel. The very top. I looked nervously down. Why did it stop?

"It looks like the power went out!" The carnie called from below. "Don't worry it should work soon." He said looking doubtful.

I groaned. We were going to be stuck here for a long time. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I looked at the contact. Tori.

"Oh my gosh talk about awkward."

"Right? What should I do Tori? This is just horrible. He's going to the same freaking high school as us. D:"

"Well, how do you feel Chloe? Are you over him? Do you want to be? He didn't seem over you though. And talk about changes? When did he become attractive? Sorry not helping."

It was true though. Derek changed a lot. Gone was the boy with horrible acne and greasy hair that covered his eyes. Gone were the baggy clothes and the insecurity. Now he was a bonafide hottie with a cocky attitude to match. Derek now filled out his clothes, with giant muscles and his hair was cut to show off his dazzling green eyes. I shook my head trying to clear all thoughts of him out and replied to Tori.

"How I feel? I really don't know. Derek left me for trash and now he's back acting like he wants to get together again. Did you see the look on his face? That was actually jealousy. Tori, I like Simon. Like really like Simon. But what about Derek? Am I even over him? Like I wanted to kill Kiley because of how close she was to Derek. But that doesn't mean I want to get back together with him does it? I really don't know."

I heard Tori clicking a response to me when Jake plucked the cellphone out of her hands. "It's rude to have a conversation without me and Simon!" Jake said turning around in his seat to look back at me. Tori turned around too and gave me a remorseful look. The look said that we would talk about this later.

Jake was trying to figure out Tori's password, probably to figure out what we were talking about while Simon was unusually quiet. "Simon is everything okay?" I asked hesitantly. I started playing with my hands, unsure of what to do.

"I wanted this to be a perfect day for you; I wanted to make you happy. But I ruined it all didn't I?" Simon said with anguish in his eyes. I was surprised, he made this day great. Just the Derek revelation was unsettling. I didn't want Simon to feel like this. I needed him to be okay so I grabbed both sides of his face and smashed his lips on to mine. One thought went through my mine. I'm getting my wish; I get to kiss the guy I'm falling for on top of the Ferris wheel. And then that's when things went downhill.

I heard a growl from behind us and saw Derek leap out of his seat and on to the ledge next to ours. He looked really menacing; he looked like he was going to change into a wolf in front of all these lovely people. Well that's not good.

He needed to calm down, he needed to stop before he made a- oh for the love of all that is holy. Really? Derek just grabbed Simon and threw him off the Ferris wheel. All of you are probably thinking why are you not freaking out your boyfriend was just thrown off of the Ferris wheel he's going to smoosh! Well I have 2 other friends who have witchy powers, so I was good. Also sorcerers and sorceresses have an amazing sense of balance and agility so they can land safely from high jumps. But just in case Tori's and Jake's hands shot out and they caught Simon before he fell, levitating him safely to the ground. They were afraid that he was too surprised to react. Now I was freaking out. Derek crouched next to him ready to pounce.

"What's your problem?" Derek shouted at Simon, his fangs coming out. Great, just great. All cover blown and two guys are fighting over me. Great.

"My problem?" Simon shouted back. "I didn't do anything! You're the one throwing me off of Ferris wheels here."

Derek growled and sounded lethal. He pounced at Simon and at the very last second Simon rolled in to the different direction dodging the attack. This was going too far. People were crowding around with wide eyes wondering why the heck Derek had fangs. Good luck explaining this to the cops I thought sarcastically.

Simon shot out his hand and Derek went down like someone shot him. Simon must have used the Taser spell. I was biting my nails down to a nub wondering how the heck I was going to get down there when something much unexpected happened.

Tori leaped off of the Ferris wheel and landed in a crouch next to them. Jake was screaming for Tori to stop but she wouldn't listen. She went over to where Derek and Simon were dueling and got in the middle. I screamed out of pure horror, they were going to kill her alive. They were already throwing all their strength into the fight and couldn't stop the blows from coming when Tori stepped in between them. But the weirdest thing happened, there was a force field shielding Tori and when they hit it they both bounced back.

The force field suddenly disappeared and Tori looked around. She looked really calm for someone who was nearly killed. She looked up at Jake and he immediately bounded down next to her. She got on her tippy toes and whispered in his ear. He nodded, while Tori put both of her hands out and brought Simon and Derek towards them.

They shot towards them like a boomerang and sat at their feet scowling and looking pissed off. Jake was talking to them in a soft voice that I couldn't hear, I watched as their face hardened in concentration trying to fight off Jake's powers. The powers of persuasion, it was no use though only one person was not effected by Jake's powers of persuasion and that was Tori. It was a mystery on why it didn't work, but I was happy that Simon and Derek soon looked calm and collected.

This issue was solved at least for a little while. Now there was the issue of my heart.

I was lying on the bed in mine and Tori's room blasting my IPod trying to not think of anything when Tori sat down next to me. I'm really glad I had Tori she's an amazing friend and without her today would have been a mess. Tori have developed a special power like Jake. Like all sorcerers/sorceresses have the same powers, but can also have one exclusively to themselves. Jake's is persuasion and Tori's is to be able to erase certain memories. Simon hasn't figured out what his is yet though. Tori's power sure came in handy today. We would have been side show freaks by now if she didn't delete the memory of the fight from everyone at the carnival's mind. Tori gently took out the headphones from my ears, and set the IPod on the nightstand. "Chloe.." she said slowly. "I want you to tell me how you feel. Don't hold back." And with those simple words I poured my heart out.

"Oh Tors, I don't know what to do. Everything is a mess, Derek is back and I don't know how I feel about that! Like a part of me is glad to see him again it wants me to crawl back to him and his abuse. But a bigger part of me is screaming to stay with Simon. Simon has never hurt me and I know he would never abandon me like Derek did. But why is Derek back. Sure he wants to catch lone wolves but that doesn't mean he has to go to high school with us. Unless that means the lone wolves are in high school. But Tori, should I give him a second chance? He hasn't asked and I know you probably think I'm getting carried away with this, but he got in a fight over me and that means a lot. Oh and thanks for erasing everyone's memories about that incident today. It's just frustrating. Is love supposed to be this hard?" I slumped my head hard on to the mattress feeling defeated.

Tori stroked my hair. "It's okay Chloe. I know how you feel. You just got to follow your heart. I know right now it's not giving you much to go off of, but you just got to give it time. You're going to know which is right. Simon or Derek. They're both great guys but I want you to think about yourself right now. Do what makes you happy and don't beat yourself up." Tori said gently.

I smiled. She always knew how to make me feel better. Tomorrow I was going to go to school and have to face all this drama. Tomorrow I would find out where I stand with Derek. Tomorrow I will have to feel all the heartache of our breakup over again, but today, today I will be Simon's girlfriend. The one who is faithful to him and the one he deserves. Because today Simon needs me and at least I could do that for him. Love hurts.

Oh interesting. Derek is back with a vengeance. Is he here for Chloe? Or is he really just here for those lone wolves? Will Chloe stay with Simon or will she find herself drifting back to Derek? Oh the troubles of teenage love. Read on and tell me what you think! Thanks sweethearts. P.s. don't you think Rolling in the deep by Adele fits this chapter perfectly? Like the suspense of it and the lyrics. Yeah anywayss…
