Chloe's POV
Two years since we escaped from the Edison Group two years since Derek and I made it official but that all went down. I can't help but remember it though, how if we'd really made it through we would be celebrating our second anniversary, but were not and it's time to stop dreaming get up and get on the bus to school. Yeah school the place that all teenagers hate well if you lived me life and you still have troubles telling if the person in the hall is a ghost or an actual person then you'd live like me. Duck your head pull up your hood and hurry to your next class ignore EVERYONE. You never know if they're in your class or just died in that classroom. I live with my Aunt Lauren she understands my way of life but she doesn't approve not like she approves of anything anyways and I don't let her. After she started to plan out my life I made it clear that I could do what I wanted and date who I wanted she kept out of my life from then on finding herself a boyfriend. She practically lives with him seeing as how I see her maybe once a week in the morning only for her to tell me that she'll be working late and that she'll crash at Antons place cause it's closer to the hospital when really she doesn't know that I know it's an hour farther away. It's her choice of lifestyle and I'm happy for her that she's found someone she'd ditch her niece for. The phone rang as I was running down the stairs and I grabbed it off the hanger looking around for my Aunt it was Monday and usually she was here in the mornings on Monday waiting by the phone expecting a call. She always got a call every Monday from someone and she always goes quiet when I pass by,
"Hello?" I said mimicking her voice as I answered,
"Lauren?" A deep voice asked,
"Yes?"
"Are you okay you sound different."
"A cold," I gave a couple of convincing coughs, "I'm fine."
"Oh okay um how's Chloe?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I ask every Monday Lauren." I was fazed who wanted to know about me? The Edison Group? Was Lauren betraying me again!, "if you really want to know Derek's been bugging me for some more news boy can never get enough."
"Dad!" I heard a voice in the background say,
"Sorry..were on speaker phone."
"Ah well hi." A few 'Hey's' came through the phone and my heart stopped,
"So?"
"So what?"
"How is she?" Another voice asked and my breath caught, I knew that voice and it was Derek's all the way,
"I-She's good." I replied almost forgetting that I was playing my Aunt,
"How's her school?" Kit asked,
"The same."
"So she's acing her classes and has that uh boyfriend still?" Derek asked and I flinched. Boyfriend!
"What!" I screamed dropping the phone, "LAUREN!" I screamed and I heard a groggy voice reply,
"Chloe?" She rounded the corner in bunny slippers and her nightgown I grabbed the phone and held it up,
"You want to explain!" I snapped at her and her eyes went wide,
"Chloe I-"
"You know what never mind I don't want to hear your excuse!" I tossed the phone at her and she caught it, "finish the conversation pack your stuff and move in with Anton I don't want to see you again." I spun around grabbing my pack and stormed out of the apartment.
You're in control
Pressin' pause on my heartbeat
Someone stole all the air
So I can't speak now
I know the chase is on
I feel as though
My time has come
Derek's POV
The room went silent as we heard who we'd previously thought was Lauren (only to find out she was actually Chloe) yell at the real Lauren.
"Kit?"
"Lauren." My Dad replied,
"I'm sorry I stayed up late working she was never meant to answer the phone." A shaky voice came through the plastic phone sitting on our coffee table.
"Why not?" I asked,
"Uh-"
"Lauren are you two going to be alright?" Dad asked and I heard a sigh,
"We'll be fine." I heard a small sigh follow up her words and I clenched my fists she was lying to us,
"Can we come over later?" Simon asked,
"No." Her reply was quick and serious,
"Lauren I think it would be best-" My Dad started only to be cut off by her,
"She kicked me out."
"We heard...she doesn't really mean it." Dad told her rubbing his hands together I could tell he was concerned and uncertain,
"Yes she does..I barely live here I only stay here Sunday night so I can answer this call other then that I stay at Antons my boyfriends place and she's here alone." I heard the guilt in her voice as my Dad drew a long breath,
"She lives alone?"
"Yes."
"What else have you been keeping?" I asked,
"She avoids people at school she has no friends and no boyfriend she doesn't care about school and her grades are terrible." Lauren sighed, "I've given up on her."
"I haven't." I replied, "I still...I still love her."
"Lauren can we come over later?" My Dad asked this time,
"I think that would be best." She replied before hanging up.
How many times do I fly
Through your head space
Now it's speeding away
From the safe place
We showed up at the apartment a few hours later and she answered the door her eyes were red and puffy and as we stepped in I noticed a man standing behind her,
"Guys this is Anton."
"Nice to meet you." Dad said shaking the brown haired guys hand he smiled at my Dad making crinkled lines come from his brown eyes showing his real age,
"Nice to meet you too." He replied and I noticed that behind him was a suitcase and a few boxes.
"Your really moving out?" Dad asked and Lauren nodded,
"It will be best." Dad frowned but nodded he knew that in the end it was her choice Lauren handed my Dad a small metal key before turning to us she smiled at us which surprised me, "Derek you would have been good for her better then I was." She told me and I was in complete shock did she really just say that to me!
"Woah!" Simon said and I smiled at Lauren,
"I'm glad you think so."
"Take care of her for me." She said and I nodded she hugged me and I stood there surprised and Tori rolled her eyes at me and mouthed at me to hug her back. I did as she said and Laurne smiled kissing my cheek before hugging both Tori and Simon giving Kit's hand a squeeze she left the apartment with her suitcase. Anton followed with the boxes and we stood in the apartment in silence.
"Guess we should unpack out bags..." Simon said and Dad nodded. It turned out that there was only three rooms left so I told Dad I was fine with the living room or the floor Simon was fine with that news and unpacked in the room closest to the bathroom Tori took one down the hall from Dad's and I turn left down another hall only to find another door. Opening it I stepped into what could only be Chloes room. It smelled just like her that strawberry scent with a hint of mint I took a long drag like I would from a cigarette if I ever smoked (which I don't and never plan to do) I smiled. Her scent was like me own personal drug (which I also don't do and never plan too) it was intoxicating and I sat down on her bed laying back on her pillows burying my head into them I thought of her.
Yeah, your skin
The touch, the kiss
The rush too much
And here it comes
Chloe's POV
I was staying after school to watch the basketball game. I always did it reminded me of Derek and Simon I remember how they loved to play basketball so I always sat in the corner under the bleachers my hood up to hide my face as I cried. I always cried win or lose it didn't matter to me all I saw was Derek laughing and stealing the ball from Simon who would be going in for a shot. I missed them so much and hearing his voice this morning didn't help me with that loss, the lights of the gym flickered and I glanced out the window to see that there was a storm. Storms here were never good so I hurried to my car hoping to get home before the lightning started driving in a storm was never good and I hated it, yeah I'd seen worse then lightning storms hell I've raised the dead! In my sleep! I hurried up the stairs completely soaked from running to the door, my hair was in locks hanging down my face and I unlocked the apartment door stepping inside I smelled Chinese. I closed my eyes my jaw clenching in anger as I grinded my teeth,
"I thought I told you to leave Lauren!" I called out dropping my keys in the dish on the table by the entrance I looked in the mirror there gripping on the edge of the table trying to calm myself down. I closed my eyes and focused on breathing as I kicked off my shoes, "Lauren!" I screamed not getting a response swearing I rounded the corner into the kitchen. There on the table was a bunch of food but she was no where to see grabbing a dish I grabbed a set of chopsticks and began eating walking to the living room thinking of what movie to amuse myself with for tonight I stepped into the living room and froze. Four sets of eyes looked up at me and I swallowed my noodles,
"Chloe?" Tori asked and I set my chopstick in the box raising the hand to wave at her,
"What are you doing here!" I snapped glancing around the room and they all frowned,
"Well your Aunt-"
"Lauren!" I snapped and Simon swallowed and repeated what he was saying,
"Lauren told us we could come over and see you..."
"Why now?" I asked, "why didn't you come earlier?"
"She told us you'd gotten the perfect life." Derek said glancing away and I started laughing moving around them I made my way to the movies muttering to myself about my perfect life,
"You meet Anton?" I asked flickering my eyes down the list of movies,
"Yeah." Kit said,
"You like him?" I glanced back at them and they shook they're heads, "me either." I plucked Spirited Away off the shelf and moved to the Blu-Ray Player putting in the disk I grabbed the remote and sat on the couch.
"What movie?" Simon asked and I smiled,
"Spirited Away." I replied and all of them raised an eyebrow, "just watch oh and Kohaku is mine." I winked and Tori laughed,
"Spending your entire life waiting for a guy in a movie is terrible trust me I'm still waiting for SpiderMan." I laughed at her and she smiled,
"Well why not just have Simon change his name?" I offered and she smiled at me before looking at Simon who held his hands up whispering something that sounded a lot like,
"I has mercy?" Derek repeated what Simon said looking at him like he was a freak I started laughing and leaned on Derek he looked at me surprised but after a moment smiled at me.
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning
"We missed you Chloe." Simon said and I smiled standing up I started towards me room,
"I'll be right back I'm gonna change my sweaters still wet." They nodded and I looked at Kit who was asleep in his chair rolling my eyes I went to my room and changed out of my clothes looking outside I saw lightning,
"Beautiful isn't it?" I jumped and spun around to see Derek in my door frame,
"How long have you been standing there?" I asked and he smiled walking over to me,
"As long as you've been staring at the lightning." I smiled,
"I like the storms it reminds me of my life."
"How?" He asked I could feel him behind me his chest centimeters away from my back and I closed the space leaning back on him. He wrapped his arms around my waist then and I looked up at me,
"It's close but too far away to reach at the same time, one moment it's there and the next it's gone only leaving a mark to say it was there."
"How is that like your life?"
"One moment your here with me but I'll never know if you'll still be here in the next." As I spoke I turned slowly in his arms and he stared into my eyes arms now locked behind my back,
"Chloe-"
"You leave me with a heart-aching pain that reminds me that you were here that maybe you'll be back but I never know for sure I'm just hoping you will and even though were this close." I tightened my arms behind him, "it still feels like your too far away like I can't touch you." He leaned down towards me as I spoke and our lips were an inch apart eyes connecting and then his flickered down to my lips. His hand brushed onto my cheek tilting my head it was like going in slow motion but I knew what I wanted and I was ready to get it.
We touch like,
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh
I wrapped my hand into his hair pulling his head towards me his lips met mine and he pulled my closer my feet sliding off the floor and he cupped my ass keeping me levitated. I wrapped my legs around him as he pushed me back onto the windowsill I sat on it and his hand crept up the back of my shirt I pulled away with a short gasp. He kissed down my neck and moaned as he bit on the soft skin there. I pulled on his hair to get him to remove his head from my neck he complied but whimpered looking up at me with sad green eyes,
"Chloe-"
"I love you." I told him and he smiled,
"I know." He pulled me close and kissed me again before pulling away, "are we close enough yet?" He asked and I shook my head,
"N-no." He smirked at my stutter but kissed my jaw significantly teasing me to my edge and I growled his name playfully.
Just you and me and the
Coats in the back room
Learning things they don't
Teach in the classroom
Now, you're here
I feel the fear
But everything
Is oh so clear
I woke to find myself curled up in Derek's arms my legs was wrapped over his keeping him locked to me I looked up groggily to find him smiling down at me,
"Someone didn't want to be alone last night." I blushed at his words but dragged my hand down his bare chest making him go quiet and then it was my turn to smirk.
"Someone was a little needy last night." I shot back and he sent me a warning growl which made me giggle sitting up I stretched causing the blankets to fall and reveal my body. I didn't care I wasn't embarrassed at all I loved Derek and he loved me so we had no trouble or so I thought before my bedroom door was flung open and Simon stood there,
"You guys never came back ye..." his words drifted off as he noticed that I was naked. Derek noticed and pulled up the covers covering me he glared at his brother growling at him Simon held up his hand and stepped out of the room, "nice body Chloe." He sent me a wink and I knew he was tempting Derek. Derek did too but that didn't stop him from jumping out of the bed his boxers on..how he got them on a mystery to me but they were on and he ran after Simon in them.
I've been addicted to you
Since the first hit
Out of control like a surge of electric
Yeah, your skin
The touch, the kiss
The rush, too much
And here it comes
"Already got Derek trying to kill Simon..wow Chloe your really a player." I rolled my eyes at Tori and she smiled,
"I missed you Tori."
"Missed you too Chloe."
"You and Chloe have fun last night Der Der." Simons voice carried and then I heard a yelp moments later her ran by giving Tori and I a wave. Derek stopped in front of the door walking to me he sat down pulling me onto his lap he whispered in my ear,
"We certainly did." I blushed significantly and he smiled,
"Derek!" I screamed hitting his arm and he drew me close kissing me. God I was happy they were back where would I be with out them. Not here not this happy that was for sure now with them here I had a life I had a reason to live again. This was what I was missing this was what I was looking for this was what I needed. And now..now I had it I have it I have my life. And my life well...I could say it was Derek but really it's this family...my family.
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning
We touch like,
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning now
"Chloe?" I looked up at Derek then,
"Yeah?"
"Last night you told me you loved me."
"Yeah." I replied and he smiled,
"I never said it back..."
"Derek you-"
"But I do Chloe I love you like every cheesy line ever said." I smiled and giggled at his words,
"I love you too Derek."
"I know you said that last night." I rolled my eyes at him and pulled his head down to mine kissing him.
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Your skin, the touch
The kiss, too much
Your skin, the touch
The kiss, the rush
Your skin, the touch
The kiss, too much

When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning
We touch like,
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
