As I said, I do not own Darkest Powers. But thank you to all of you who have reviewed! It means so much to me!

-One year later-

"I love you Chloe, you are my everything. I don't know what I would do without you". And then he pulled me into his lap and kissed me so passionately I thought we would never stop. Honestly I didn't want to. I ran my hands up his shirt so I could rub my hands on his abs and let him know I didn't want this to end. He ran his hand up my leg, thigh, waist, and was playing with the hem of my shirt. He was just about to pull it off-

I shot out of bed at the memory of Derek. I've been dreaming a lot about him lately.

It's been a year since he left me and I left my family. But I all turned out pretty well, I got a job and a decent place to live in Vegas, and no one has bothered or come looking for me. I just missed everyone so much though, even Tori. Lauren though, could die in a whole. And yes, I still held everything against her.

It was my day off at the restaurant where I worked as a waitress, so I was going to go down the street to get some coffee. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. I took a long, hot shower thinking about my dream of Derek. That had been the first night we had gotten together.

We had been in the woods where we went to take a walk after we took down the Edison Group. I was pretty sure we were going to go all the way if it hadn't been for Tori coming to spy us. No. I can't think about that. Derek and that part of my life are over, I need to move on.

But it still hurt to think about him. I still couldn't believe he left because Lauren told him to. I thought he love me more than that. Obviously not.

I turned off the water and got dressed. I dried my hair and finished getting ready when my phone rang. Thinking it was my boss from work calling me to see if I could work today, I answered professionally.

"Chloe Saunders may I help you?" I asked hoping I didn't have to work today.

There was no answer. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I asked not wanting to play any games, just wanting to get my coffee and sit at home all day.

Still no answer just a shocked sounding breath on the other line, I hung up, grabbed my purse and walked outside.

I winced as my eyes adjusted to the light and started walking to Starbucks. When I got outside the window of the café I saw a familiar head with black hair. Uh-oh I thought to myself. It might not even be him. So putting that thought aside I went in, avoiding looking at the man, and went to the counter.

I got my coffee and went outside. I took one last look at the guy, and noticed he was with a girl. That couldn't be Derek. He wouldn't, doesn't date. It's true, not matter how much he claimed to love me, he never once took me on a date.

I turned away from the man and woman as all memories started flooding in of me and Derek. Me first seeing him at the Lyle house, being scared of him when he threw me across the room, watching him change and being there for him….Realizing that I loved him, and wanted him forever.

By the time I got to my apartment I was in tears. I swore to myself that I was done with him over a year ago. But it's harder than I thought it would be.

I was walking into the living room when I heard a knock on my door. "Just a minute!" I yelled as I ran to the door.

I opened the door to a tall figure. I ran my eyes over his familiar body, his torso, arm, shoulders, that neck I have kissed so many times…

"Hello Chloe, you look beautiful."

What do you guys think? I have written two chapters today. Hope it was worth it!
