Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been super busy! Let me know how you like this chapter!
We rode the next hour in silence. His arm around my shoulders and me leaning over to rest on his shoulder. Every now and then I would look up at him and kiss his cheek while he was driving, then he would slow down the car to kiss me back.
"Sooooo, are you going to tell me where we are going?" I asked leaning in so my face inches from his. He smiled and looked at me.
"Maybe." Was all he said before he pulled into a neighborhood. I completely spaced out and had no idea where we were.
I didn't believe that this is where they are staying. Kit would not be in hiding in plain sight. He wouldn't put the rest of them in danger.
Derek pulled up to the side of a house. It was nice, it had a tan stucco on the outside with a rock pattern on the bottom going up maybe two feet. The front yard looked as if it were well cared for, two patches of green grass with a rock walk way up to the front porch right in the middle of the grass.
"We're here." Was all he said before getting out of the car and making his way to the door. I quickly got out and had to jog to keep up with him. When we reached to door, I realized I didn't want to do this. But before I could say something Derek had already knocked on the door.
I heard a faint "Coming!" and someone running to the door. The door burst open and the woman froze, her eyes wide with shock. Lauren.
"Chloe?" She said taking a step outside the house to take a step towards me. "Why are you with Derek?" Now she seemed furious. She was glaring at Derek the same way she did the night he left me. My body tensed up at the memory. Derek must have felt it because he grabbed my hand and squeezed it trying to reassure me.
Lauren looked down at our hands and she had the strangest look of anger in her eyes. But before she could say anything, Kit walked to the door.
"Hello, can I help-" He started to say before he saw me and Derek standing outside his house.
"Derek, Chloe. Come in." He looked shock to see after everything that has happened in the last year between me and Derek, to see us standing hand in hand at his front door.
We went inside and Kit asked us to sit down in the living room. I sat down and Derek sat down beside me, one arm draped across my shoulders, the other hand grabbed mine. Kit sat down next to Lauren on the opposite couch and just stared at us.
"Dad, it's so good to see you. It's been a while." Derek said, looking at his dad.
"You too Derek. I don't mean to be rude, but why after all this time have you and Chloe decided to come back?" Kit asked, curiosity in his eyes.
"We need your help." I said before Derek could.
