Sorry for any Derek lovers that are sad about him, but I promise it will be worth it. Here is chapter 24!

I didn't know how many days that I had been there. It seemed like days, weeks. All I know for certain was that it was miserable. Every day, all day they were testing on me. Testing my skills, my strength, my reflexes, everything you could think of.

I was laying on my bed about to fall asleep when my door started to open. "Go away, please Michael? Just let me get some sleep." There were already tears streaming down my face at the thought of have to go back to that lab.

I felt someone put their arms around me; I pushed away and rolled over burying my face in the pillow. It didn't matter that I pushed them away; they still wrapped their arms around me. They lifted me off the bed and started to carry me out of the room bridal style.

I was too tired to look up and see who this person was, so I just went with it. But after a few minutes they started running. I opened my eyes finally. "Kit?" I could only see his profile, but it was almost identical to Simon's. "Kit?" I tried to say again but my voice was hoarse.

"Shush, be quiet Chloe." Was all he said while he slowed from his run. I let my head fall back and try to comprehend what was happening.

"Dad! Is that Chloe? Did you get her?" I heard Simon yell, his voice sounded distant. After a few more paces I heard a car door open and I was on a cushioned seat, then the car door close.

The engine started and we were off. To where, I have no idea. But I'm with Simon and Kit, I know I'm safe.

"Chloe, Chloe can you hear me?" I opened my eyes to see Simon right in front of my face.

"Yeah, I can hear you." I said with the best smile I could manage. "Where are we?"

"We just got you out of there. We are on our way to a safe house." I his looked filled with joy. Well filled as much as they could be considering only a few weeks ago he found out his brother had died.

"Wh-where's D-Derek?" There were even more tears coming down my face, I was surprised I could even produce tears anymore.

Simon's joy was gone and filled with pain that cause all the color in his face to fade. "He's gone Chloe." Was all he said before getting up and moving into the passenger seat next the his father who was driving.

"Just get some rest Chloe, we will wake you when we get there." Kit said looking in the review mirror so he could look at me.

It wasn't hard for me to fall asleep, all I had to do was close my eyes and allow the exhaustion to take over my body.

…three weeks later…

I heard a faint knocking on my door; it was probably Simon knocking quietly making sure he didn't wake me. But there was no possibility of that considering I haven't really slept since we got here.

Simon opened the door a crack, saw that I was still in the same position that I had been in for nearly a week, and came to sit next to me on the bed.

"Chloe, I know you hurt, trust me I do. But you can't keep going on like this. It's not healthy. This isn't what Derek would've wanted; he would've wanted you to get on with your life. Not sit in your room all day not talking to anyone." Simon put his hand to my face and stroked stray strands of hair behind my ear.

He was right, I wouldn't know what Derek would've wanted because I can't summon him. I have tried and tried and I get nothing. He probably moved on. He's probably living somewhere in a paradise, completely happy and worry free. Leaving me here to deal with the pain of losing him.

After a while of Simon waiting for me to talk, which I haven't done since they saved me, he put down the tray of food, picked up the one from last night, and left. He and Kit should give up, I'm not going to get up or talk to them anytime soon, so they should just stop trying.

I was just about to fall asleep for the few times I have since I've been here when I felt someone wrap their body around mine and kiss my neck. I shifted, which hurt from not moving my muscles in three weeks, and moved away from the weight that had just barley rested itself on me.

But as soon as I left the person pulled me back to them, and closer than the last time.

"I've missed you so much Chloe." I would know that voice anywhere.

I turn around wincing in pain as I do, and look into the eyes that I have come to memorize.

"Derek?"

Ahhhhh I told you it'd be worth it! Hahaha! Anyway….REVIEW…
