Disclaimer: I do not own Darkest Powers.
Chloe: You can escape.
Tori: HOW? I'm telling you, she's nutso!
Chloe: I know, but-
Me: Tori?
Tori: OH MY GOSH! Run, Chloe! RUN!
Chloe: (Runs).
Derek's POV:
Tori and Simon are started to get on my nerves.
They keep interrupting Chloe and me.
In the morning, Chloe told me tonight would be special. I still don't know what she means, but I'm excited and nervous. Tori and Chloe went shopping a little while after, and it's 11:00pm, and they're still not back.
I hear the front door open and slam close.
"Hey guys! We're home!" Tori calls. "By the way, Andrew's pretty much dying out there."
"Good," I mumble to myself. I walk over to the living room and stop when I hear Simon and Chloe talking.
"So you and Derek are in love?" Simon asks her.
"Y-yes."
"Cool. I like how you're not afraid, Chloe."
"W-what do you mean?" she asks.
"I mean, I like how you don't think of him as a monster."
"O-oh."
I froze.
There was some uncertainty in her voice that caused me to realize something:
I can't be around Chloe anymore.
Every time I am, she gets hurt.
And it's my fault.
Funny how that single word could make me realize something that big.
I tore my gaze away from them, heart thudding.
Do I have to leave Chloe?
I pressed my lips together and ran out the front door, not looking back.
Chloe's POV:
I told Simon I had to go to the bathroom when the news came on and he squealed like a girl, "OH! CHANNEL SIX NEWS!"
I roll my eyes when he laughs. I walk out, looking for Derek, and when I see the front door open, I squint and walk over. I peek outside and see Derek running into the woods.
My eyes bugged out "The fu-?"
I sprinted after him. "DEREK!" I yell. "DEREK, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!"
He stops so abruptly I smacked into his chest. I rub my head. "Ow."
I look up at him. His eyes burned bright.
"Derek? You Changing?" I ask.
He shakes his head and looks at me, burning eyes filled with pain and sadness.
"What's wrong, than?"
"Nothing," he growls.
I roll my eyes. "Way to lie convincingly, Derek. Seriously. What's up?"
"You don't love me, do you?"
I stare at him. "Are-are you insane? Of course I do."
He shakes his head again. "I'm a monster. I-I can't-" he averts his gaze. "I'm dangerous. I can't be with you."
Those words were like 1000 pounds dropping dead on my shoulders.
"W-what?" I stutter.
"I hurt you too much."
"You love me too much."
"But you don't."
"I never said-"
"It's okay."
"No, Derek," I say, voice husky. "I do love you."
"I can't stay here anymore. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."
"No," I choke, my voice cracking. "No. You almost died, and I almost l-lost you, a-and you expect me to j-just let you g-go l-like this?"
"I have to."
Tears slid down my cheeks. "Please don't go," I whisper. "Please don't leave me."
"Oh, Chloe," he says, voice hoarse. "I love you. But I have to go. I'm too dangerous. I can't be here anymore. I'm a monster."
"Derek, no. You're not a monster. Please don't leave me here like this. I love you. Don't-"
He leans down to my ear, breath warming my skin, and I wanted to kiss him so badly.
"I'm so sorry, Chloe," he whispers, before walking away, the darkness and fog swallowing him up.
Tori's POV:
"Give me the remote!" I scream, struggling to pull it away from Simon.
"I was here first!" he shoots at me.
"I don't care!"
"I do!"
"No one cares about what you care about!"
"No one cares about you telling me that no one cares about what I care about!"
I groan. "GIVE IT!"
"NO!"
We continue like that, fighting on the couch, both of us struggling to get it away from one another when Chloe bursts inside, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Simon and I stop immediately.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
She continues to sob.
"Chloe?" Simon asks softly. "What's wrong?"
"It's D-Derek," she sobs.
"What about him?" I say.
"Did Andrew-?" Simon begins.
"No," Chloe chokes.
"So what happened?" I say, getting frustrated.
"H-he left."
So there it was. Short, I know, but I wanted to post something for you guys before tomorrow when I go to school, because I know my homework will be piling up. Plus, I have exams. Review, please!
