This is going to be a little creepy. You've been WARNED!
I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you
Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize
I'm slowly losing you
The black haired teenaged boy sat in the shadows he had her schedule down and knew she'd be rounding the corner any moment now. The moon light would flood through the trees and reflect like a halo off her strawberry blonde hair. Her blue eyes would shimmer when she'd turn her head up to the sky smiling. He sat still as she rounded the corner and like every night she walked with a bounce in her step and a smile on her face. How did she do it? He never was a happy teenager moving from foster home to foster home until he wound up on the street. About two years of stealing and hiding from the police he was caught by Christopher Bae the owner of the house he tried to rob. He was surprised the most when the strange Asian man leaned back waving his hand in a continue motion but he stayed frozen. This was something strange to him and then the alarms went of in his head and he glanced around the house for an escape,
"I didn't call them." The Asian man told him and then he calmed down his black hair was so long it hung over his eyes the boy didn't understand why this man would stand there and let someone rob him, "hungry?" He asked standing up he opened a cupboard and tossed the boy a box. He caught it with ease opening the crackers while he kept his eyes on the man. He ate them crunching loudly eyes still on the man.
"Why?" He finally asked his throat hurt from the dryness of the crackers and the man smiled pulling out a cup he filled it with water and slid it carefully over the counter to the boy who picked it up and drank it greedily,
"I was in your predicament once." The man answered, "you have no family?" The man asked,
"No." The man nodded and backed away,
"Come with me and we'll find you a room here."
"Here?"
"Yes and then tomorrow I'll find your foster home," the boy stiffened, "and I'll adopt you." The boy raised and eyebrow confused on why someone would adopt a kid they had previously caught stealing from them. The man smiled and led him upstairs giving him a room and handing him a book,
"What's this for?" The boy asked taking it from him,
"You won't sleep because your scared that you can't trust me."
"Uh..." The boy wasn't used to being read so easily, "I'm Derek." He said finally and the man smiled,
"Call me Dad." The man replied before leaving the room.
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
Two years passed from that day and everything was great and Derek began to trust Christopher more and soon they were a real family. He got along great with Christopher's son and daughter Victoria and Simon Bae. They became siblings fast Derek and Simon the best of friends and Tori began to tease Derek like she would Simon, it was the day that Derek met the blonde that changed him forever. Steve Saunders a good friend and business partner of Christopher's came over one night and he brought his daughter. Chloe Saunders was a year younger then Simon and Tori who were 10 a year younger then Derek. They all had met before but Chloe was still shy only saying Hi to Christopher whom she had seen many times at their work when she had to go there after school everyday.
"I'd like you to meet Derek." Christopher said introducing Steve to his new son and he looked the boy up and down before nodding at him,
"I've heard lots about you Derek." Steve told him holding out a hand which Derek shook no emotions on his face. Derek always kept those to himself but when he noticed the girl peaking around her father to give him a small smile he gave her one back causing her to blush.
"H-hi I'm Ch-Chloe." She stuttered out nervously and Steve eyed his daughter carefully she ducked from her father's gaze blushing harder and Steve smiled letting Christopher lead him into the kitchen where they would have a business conversation. Chloe waved at Tori who gave her a once over before walking up the stairs the two hadn't become friends for Tori didn't like her clothing style and Chloe refused to let her change it. Simon headed to the living room booting up his video games and started playing one Chloe stared at Derek wondering what he was going to do when he glanced at Simon,
"Uh...Simon?" He was confused did he just leave the girl in the front entrance or did he lead her somewhere, "what about her?" He asked pointing at Chloe who tilted her head to the side and bit her lip. His heart quickened she was...adorable? Or was the word cute he couldn't remember but something struck a cord in him and he knew he had to protect her with everything he had. She smiled at him,
"Most of the time I just watch Simons video games or go outside." She told him and Derek nodded his head slowly, "what about you?" She asked and Derek shrugged,
"I stay in my room most of the time."
"And do what?" Derek was fazed he usually didn't have so many questions thrown at him,
"Read."
"Read what?" She continued to ask and he heard Simon snicker in the living room,
"A book." He replied and she sighed,
"I don't like books." She told him, "I make movies." With that she drew out a small camera and Derek stared at it,
"What kind of movies?" He asked and she smiled,
"Family movies." She replied, "but I can't anymore..."
"Why not?" He asked and she sighed, "my mother died." She replied and he frowned,
"Oh..I never knew my mother." He told her and she looked up at him with big eyes,
"Why not!" She cried out in disbelief and he shrugged,
"She didn't want me."
"Oh." Chloe said sitting down on the bottom step. Derek stared at her for a second before shrugging and walking into the living room sitting down he stared at Simons video game.
I hate living without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waiting
Tempting me away
Oh, how I adore you
Oh, how I thirst for you
Oh, how I need you
A year passed and Derek saw more and more of Chloe and soon they went to the same high school. The had lunch together as a group out on the black tarp at a stone table. They ate in silence and sometimes she'd bring cookies and other treats for them all to share. She started to tell everyone slowly about her new job in town but she said the worst part was walking at night after she was finished her shift. Derek followed her to work that night and hid in the shadows as she walked home somehow she knew he was there and this continued every night she'd walk home down the alley knowing that he was watching and every night he would watch her walk home but the two never discussed it. He was only there to make sure she got home safe and she knew that but something began to blossom between the two unintentionally. And then she found him.
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
As usual he was watching her walk home making sure it was safe when she stopped and looked around a sigh on her lips she didn't want to do this anymore! She stormed over to the opposite side of the alley pushing away the cardboard to find no one. She spun around walking over to where he sat in the dark corner she reached in her hand touched his forehead and she pulled her hand back crouching down she leaned forwards her eyes outlining his shape she grabbed his arm and tugged causing her to fall on her back him on top of her scrambling up he apologized for following her but she smiled at him.
"Walk me home?" She asked and he nodded helping her up he walked her home but this time the two held hands and everyone knew.
Breathing life, waking up
My eyes open up
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
It continued like that and one day she brought it up at their lunch table and he shrugged,
"I've never walked you home Chloe must've been someone else." He didn't want them to know that was where he went every night and not to the library to study.
"Yes you do!" She screamed at him and he rolled his eyes at her,
"No I don't Chloe maybe you dream it up." She was flabbergasted how could he say that how could he do this to her! She threw her sandwich at him and he avoided it laughing as it hit Simon square in the face. Chloe glared at him spinning around she stormed off and he sighed. That night he waited for her after she was done work and she stepped out but this time she wasn't alone. Beside her was a taller boy Derek recognized him from school his name was Nate he was on the basket ball team with Simon. He took Chloe's hand and led her down the same alley the two had walked down for weeks. Derek stayed where he was looking away he knew then what it was like to lose everything you had. He didn't return home that night and he didn't show up to school Simon and Tori played it cool saying that he felt sick last night and Chloe nodded. She never noticed him at her work the night before and when she finished work that night Nate walked her home again forgetting to check for him along the way. He watched as he kissed her goodbye something Derek always wanted to do but was to shy too Chloe smiled softly at Nate and closed the door behind her as she watched him leave. It wasn't what she wanted she didn't want Nate she wanted Derek!
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
A week passed and no one had heard from Derek. Simon and Tori told her that he was just sick and Chloe nodded but concern was eating her away. Another day passed and Simon couldn't handle it,
"Chloe!" He called to her and she paused in front of her car, "Chloe we lied to you we haven't heard or seen Derek in eight days we just didn't want to worry you."
"What!" Chloe shrieked and Simon ducked his head,
"We just assumed you'd be worried or blame yourself cause he disappeared the night of your fight." Chloe's heartbeat increased and she jumped in her car driving as fast as she could to the alley she jumped out and glanced around,
"Derek!" She screamed and he stepped out of a crack looking at her and she ran at him tears falling down her face she jumped him and he caught her. She clung to him and he rubbed circles on her back as she cried into his neck begging for his forgiveness and he sighed.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear and she cried harder clinging to him she pulled him down and kissed him. Smiling into the kiss she knew she was right. Derek was what she wanted he was what she needed and she knew that nothing would keep them apart not now not ever.
Oh, how I adore you
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
Oh, how I thirst for you
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
Oh, how I adore you
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
