SPOV

I looked around as we walked, but there was nothing to see, it seemed like we were walking in circles. It looked as if everything was the same, same trees, shrubs, even the dead leaves on the ground.

But all I wanted to see was Chloe, beautiful Chloe. She was going to be all mine, she just hadn't realized it at that moment.

Her beautiful voice carried as she and Tori had an animated discussion on some book they had read. Derek nudged me. I looked up, upset that I was taken out of my daydream.

"Huh?" I asked looking longingly at Chloe's back.

"When we set up camp for tonight, we have to talk." Derek mumbled gruffly.

"About?" I asked looking up at his face.

"Later." He muttered before looking at Chloe and Tori's backs. I shrugged and went back to daydreaming about Chloe, beautiful Chloe…

After they set up camp; about two hours later

We set up camp right before it was completely black. Derek dragged me away saying we needed "bonding time". Chloe nodded like she understood. She was so sweet….

After we got about half a mile away Derek stopped. "Simon, it's time to talk."

I stood there. "Okay, so start talking."

He looked at me and lowered his gaze before he whispered. "Simon, Chloe's my, mate."

I laughed, he had to be joking. "Simon." He walked forward putting his hand on my shoulder. I doubled over, I was laughing so hard.

"Good one bro, you had me for a second." I said after I could breathe again. I looked up expecting to see him smiling, but his face was dead serious. "Seriously bro did you come up with that?"

His face was still and serious. I took a breath. "D, you are kidding right?"

Derek shook his head and looked away. "NO!" I yelled. "She's mine! You can't have her!" Then I ran away from him, and from the girl I loved.

"Simon!" Derek called after me but I kept going and going and going.

CPOV

I paced back and forth. They should have been back by now. All of a sudden Derek came sprinting back. I looked up my eyes wide. "Simon, he ran off." He breathed.

I took off from where Derek had come. "Chloe!" Both Tori and Derek yelled.

"Chloe, don't you dare!" Derek yelled but I kept running. I ran so fast everything blurred past me. You know you already did this once. Yes. And if Derek couldn't find him, what makes you think you can? Well I'm going to try anyway.

I ran past a tiny clearing where they probably talked and kept running straight. About two miles from the clearing I stopped to catch my breath which was ragged.

Why don't people lean not to run into the forest by themselves? Didn't you just do that? No, what I did was different. How? Well, I'm trying to save someone.

Leaves rustled to my right and a twig snapped. I looked over my eyes wide again. I pictured it a perfect end to the heroin's life in any movie. She was all alone running to find her friends. The Edison Group had been trailing them, waiting for the perfect time to strike, they had found one. As the Heroin's running she stops and hears something. Who is it? The Edison Group. She screams and try's to run but they shoot her in the leg and she falls to the ground in a crumpled heap. The heroin looks up at the men in pain wishing her friends well. She makes eye contact with the man with the knife pleading him to let her live. He smiles and stabs her and all that was left was her last cry of pain.

I shook my head. Get a hold of yourself this isn't a movie. Well it seems more surreal every day.

The leaves rustled again. I crept over to where the sound was coming from and I moved the branch away. A squirrel popped out of the bush and scampered away. I laughed before getting back at the task at hand. Finding Simon.

I started running again before stopping abruptly. What if I'm going the wrong way? I started panicking and looking everywhere. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! "Simon?" I yelled as loud as I could. "Derek?" I yelled maybe he could hear me.

There was a muffled noise coming from straight ahead of me. I crept to get a better look and saw Simon in the middle of a clearing, laying down, and staring at the canopy of trees over his head. I lie down next to him and put my head against his shoulder. "Is it true?" He asked still staring at the sky.

I sighed. "Yes Simon, it is."

"You know I love you to." He said sighing and looking into my eyes.

I looked away. "No Simon you don't love me."

"Yes I do." Simon stated matter of factley.

"It's called infatuation like with Romeo and Juliet."

"Romeo and Juliet were in love it wasn't infatuation!"

"Please tell me how they fell in love in two seconds of seeing each other?"

"Have you ever heard of love at first sight?"

I snorted. "You really are old fashioned aren't you Simon?"

" perfect type for you."

I sat up on my elbows. "Sorry to burst your bubble Simon but I love Derek; you're more of a brother."

"Oh, I didn't know you loved him." He whispered.

"Simon you have a place in my heart to." I whispered. Wow did I feel like I was in a soap opera.

"Really?" he perked up.

"Yeah, just in a different spot."

"Oh."

"Please understand that you're too good of a friend to ever be like that, and I'm Derek's mate. I can't control that."

"I know but it had to happen to the girl I really loved."

I rolled my eyes before getting up. "You don't love me and get up we have a long way to run to get to camp."

"What?" He demanded getting to his feet.

'We are like 5 miles away from camp."

"Really?"

"Yes Simon come on." I grabbed him and we started running.
