I'm not gunna tell you anything... ;)

Derek POV

I was up in my room trying to get as far away from Simon and Chloe as possible. I don't need to know how much she likes him too. It already hurt enough knowing I didn't have a chance, I didn't need it to be officaily confirmed.

"Chloe. I really, really like you." Damn..I can still hear them.

"W-well Simon I-I -" She didn't finish her sentence before Simon cut her off. Your such a gentleman aren't you Simon.

"Shhh, don't say anything." And then I heard nothing. I sighed. No way in hell I have a chance now.

"Simon what the hell?!" Or do I? Now I had to listen.

"What do you mean?" He sounded hurt. I didn't want Simon to be hurt, but that was better than him having Chloe.

"You didn't even wait for an answer from me!"

"Well I just assumed, you don't mind holding hands so I-" hestopped talking for a second thinking over what he was saying. "Are you trying to say you don't like me like that?"

"Where did you get that idea?" I couldn't help but let out a small laugh at how sarcastic she sounded.

"It's Derek isn't it? You like him?" he sounded mad now. Mad at Chloe?

"S-simon it's just I-" he cut Chloe off for the second time.

"I knew once you got to know him, and he got to know you, I wouldn't have a chance. I knew it."

"What are you talking about Simon?"

I didn't hear an answer from Simon. I did hear the door slam and a loud crashing noise though, and Simon running up the stairs. Shit...

"Derek!" he opend the door to my room without knocking and he looked angry. "How could you bro?" (Even when he's mad at Derek, he still thinks of him as a brother 3 lol)

"I didn't do anything Simon."

"Well she likes you. Maybe you should finally tell her that you like her back." Simon said, some of the anger slipping from his face.

"What?"

"Oh come on I'm not stupid. She's your-mate? That's what dad called it right?"

"Yeah Simon. That's what dad called it. And..- I think that she might be too..." I looked down at the floor, sure that my face went through a few shades of red. When I looked back up Simon was half smiling.

"You have to tell her man. If she is your mate then she's, "it" right? Your one and only?"

"Yes Simon... But theres no way she'd want that. I'm a monster." I turned and walked out of the room, leaving Simon yelling at me for being so blind and stupid.

Chloe POV

I just stood there, not caring wat that noise was. It doesn't really matter anyway. I walked back up to the porch and sat in one of the chairs. I sighed, woundering if life was always this crazy. My hair fell in front of my face and I grabbed it and just kind of looked at it. The dye had fadded a little, but, it was still a flat black. Leave it to Derek, I thought and smiled. Derek. He was nice, kind and caring no matter what anyone else thought. He was always there when it really counted. Like in the crawl space at Lyle House when Tori left me down there. Or during one of my many nightmares. Derek was the one that was always there, the one that always would be there, and the one that really cared about me.

Gee! Took you long enough to figure that one out didn't it? Shut up! I wounder how long it's going to take you to figure out your in love with him... What?! Come on, wake up and open your eyes! I thought about it for a few seconds before realzing that I really and truely did love Derek.

Just as I thought that Derek walked by like he was on a mission.

"Derek! Where are you going?"

"For a run." he grunted.

I ran to catch up with him. He walked fast and covered a lot of ground in a very short time. When I finaly caught up with him he was about to start running but I stepped in front of him, not wanting him to go. I wanted to tell him how I felt.

"Derek I-I-I.. I l-love you Derek." Well, blurting it out worked just as well as working up to it I guess..

Derek looked at me with a very surprised face.

"Do you, do you mean that Chloe?" he sounded hopeful.

"It would have been kinda mean to say that and not mean it don'tcha think?" I said and smiled up at him. He smiled back.

Suddenly I was off the ground and in a crushing hug from Derek. He set me back down and cupped my face with his hand.

"I love you too Chloe." And with that, he kissed me.

This kiss felt right. Not like when Simon kissed me. This time there were definatly sparks. The kiss lasted a few seconds before he pulled back and gave me a genuin smile. He hugged me again.

"You don't know how long I've been wanting to say that."

Ok, at first I felt awkward writting this. Was it wierd? :/ anyway yay! Finaly a real Chlerek moment :3 What'll they face next?? Keep reading and you'll find out :)
