AN~ Don't own DP.
Ugh, I can't win with you people...sorry ignore that. I know Chloe is being mean to Simon but just keep reading and reviewing please.
We've been walking around for a couple of days now and haven't found much more. Simon and I have been getting closer but I still couldn't shake away the feelings I had for Derek. We were on a trail right now, going through another forest, shocker right? Simon was walking next to me trying to get my attention but I couldn't look away from Derek's back.
"Chloe." Simon says. I look over at him and force a smile on.
"Yeah Simon?" I ask.
"Have you heard anything I've said?" He asks.
"Off course I have." I lie.
"Sure." He mutters. I sigh, I haven't been being fair to Simon. I need to break up with him but if I did I don't know if they would let me stay in the group. Derek's been trying to act normal about this. That's when I accidentally run into Derek's back. I step back and quickly apologize. He shrugs it off.
"We need to go into this town." He says leading us off the trail and onto a road.
"Do we have any money left?" Tori asks.
"I have some money and a credit card that we could use." I said.
"We can't use credit cards, it'll leave a paper trail." Derek wasn't long before we were walking on a sidewalk instead of road. The town was small but seemed like a place that didn't have too many visitors.
"She's here Simon." Derek mutters to Simon.
"She who?" Simon asks confused. Derek looks at him.
"Her, you'll remember when we see her." Derek says as we walks down an alley way we see a girl, teenager. She had caramel colored skin, brown wavy hair and bright brown eyes. She looked at Simon and her face seemed to glow.
"S-Simon?" She cokes out. But before Simon could even nod she had ran the distance, and between Tori and Derk and wrapped her arms around Simon. I quickly move away from them. At first Simon was shocked but quickly hugged her. The hug seemed like it would go on forever.
I lean over to Derek and whisper, "Who's she?"
"Simon's lost girlfriend Rae." Derek's words sparked a thought in my head. Derek said lost girlfriend not ex-girlfriend. Simon seemed to realize that I was still around. He quickly breaks the hug and steps back and looks ashamed.
"R-Rae I thought y-you had..." He trails the last part.
"I had escaped and was looking for you." She cries. Simon looks at me and back at her.
"Rae, I didn't know you were still alive and it's been a long time so I got with Chloe." He says. Rae seemed shocked then turns and looks at me. She was now crying but the look she gave me clearly states she wishes I would just vanished. I quickly put my hands up in a defensive pose.
"I-I'm sorry." I mutter. "I-I see h-how m-much you guys l-like each other. I-I shouldn't be the one standing between two lovers. Simon, Rae can be your girlfriend." Simon mouths me a thank you.
"Thank you!" Rae cries and quickly hugs me and then go back to Simon. "I really do love him. Thank you Chloe." I smiled thinking that I both didn't hurt Simon's feelings and reunited a love. Now I didn't feel too bad.
"You're too nice." Tori whispers to me as we start to walk again. It was getting much darker now.
"We need to find a place to crash at and I'm not sleeping on the ground again." Tori states.
"Agreed." Derek says. Derek leads us to a motel. Simon pulls Derek off to the side and whispers to him. Derek groans but nods. I wonder what they were talking about.
"Oh, Chloe thanks again." Rae smiles. Simon walks back over to us but Derek goes and talks to the motel clerk. He comes back and looks between us.
"Well since we are low on cash we got two rooms. Unfortunately since someone want's a 'reunion' Tori and Chloe," he sighs and continues, "And me are going to have to share a room."
"What?" Tori asks completely in shock. I felt my cheeks warm a bit and I curse mentally to myself to stop blushing.
"You two share a bed and I get mine." Derek orders.
"We get a reunion?" Rae asks Simon. She was blushing. I mentally shudder at the thought of their reunion. She was leaning into Simon's hug. He nods. Simon holds his hand up towards Derek.
"Key please." Simon says. Derek shuddered.
"At least get condoms. We can't offered Rae getting pregnant." Derek says handing Simon the key. Simon smirks.
"Will do. Here, you can get ready." Simon says handing the key to Rae. Simon walks back to town. Rae smiles and turns.
"See you guys in the morning. Maybe." She says as she walks towards their room.
"Ewe. Somethings I could go without knowing." Tori says.
"Agreed." Derek and I say at the same time. I look up at him and he tries not to look at me. Was I that big of a pain? Yeah I admit I was a bitch for dating his brother to spite him but still. I fold my arms in front of me as Tori led us to our bed room. Tori sad down on her bed. The room had two beds and reminded me of something from the hippie era with its shag carpet and pink walls. The comforters were big and had a flower print adding to the hippie thought. The room had a couch I walk over and sit on the couch. It was more of a love seat than a couch.
"I can just sleep on the couch." I offer.
"Good idea!" Tori smiles. She was just agreeing so she could have her own bed. Derek was sitting on his bed. He glances at me then back down. I felt a pang of hurt inside me. Ugh, I feel horrible but the only reason I went with Simon was because Derek said to and that he didn't like me. My plan of making him jealous had obviously backfired. I curl up on the couch and bury my face into the corner between the armrest and the back of the couch. This is my own damn fault. I just can't win.
