Aaaahhhh! I'm so excited to have a computer in my room! I'm gonna get so much written now! Anyways, here is chapter 18.
"Lauren? Who the hell was that guy?" I asked still trying to catch my breath from having to run the car. I started at her for a while until she finally answered me.
"I don't know, my guess would be someone with the Cables." She didn't take her eyes off the road except for when she was glancing back to make sure no one was following her.
"He looked way to much like Derek for it to be a coincidence." I was panicking. This guy knew who Derek and I were. He had to be working for someone. And whoever he was on the phone with also knew who we were.
"It might not have been a coincidence," She said turning onto the street with our house on it. "He might have been a clone or something. I heard rumors that they were testing that when I worked at the Edison Group." The second we pulled into the drive way I was out of the car.
I don't even remember running into the house and finding Derek. The only thing that mattered was that I was in Derek's arms. And that's where I was. "Chloe?" He said when I jumped into his arms as he was coming out of our room. "Chloe, what's wrong? Look at me." He took my chin in his hands and tilted my face up so he could look in my eyes.
I took a deep breath before I spoke. "S-someo-one kn-knows where w-we are." He probably didn't understand any of that because of my stuttering.
"Chloe slow down. Breathe."
"Someone knows where we are. When me and Lauren were at the restaurant our waiter looked just like you, but I didn't think anything of it, until we left and we heard him on the phone." I was talking all in one breath, but at least I didn't stutter.
"What were they saying?" By then everyone was in the room. It looked like Tori was going to start yelling for waking her up until she say everyone's faces and she shut her mouth.
"They were talking about us. He said that Derek Suza's girlfriend was here. And then they said Chloe like they knew who I was. We didn't here the rest of the conversation because Lauren wanted to get out of there." When I finished speaking Kit came up and said something into Derek's ear but I couldn't hear it.
All Derek did was nod and look at me. "Chloe, come on. Let's get to bed." He said taking me by the hand, leading me into our room as we said good night to everybody. Once we were inside he closed and locked the door, he turned to look at me.
"Derek?" I asked walking over to him and putting my hand on his shoulder.
"I'm fine." He blinked hard a couple of times and shook his head, ruffling his hair. I stepped forward and pushed it away from his eyes. "Let's just go to bed ok? I'm really tired." He walked into the bathroom for a few minutes and came out in nothing but his boxers.
He walked over to the bed and kinda just flopped down. I walked over the closet and got out a tank top. I changed and went over to Derek's side of the bed. He was already asleep. I brushed some hair out of his eyes so I could see his face. He had dark circles under his eyes. I didn't realize until now how little sleep he had been getting, he's been comforting me and making sure I was alright before he even thought about sleep.
I decided to let him have the bed to himself; I went to the door and opened it as quietly as I could. Once I was in the hall I went into the living room and lay down on the couch. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I woke up with someone's arms around me. I turned to see who it was. Derek. Some how he managed to lay on the couch with me. I shifted so I was curled up more against him. And we slept like that for the rest of the night.
So, I know it was boring, but it won't be for long. But you should still check out my other story if you haven't yet. Review!
