Okay, I think we should just get over getting my e-mail, because it's obviously not happening, and obviously, no one's going to e-mail me anyway. I want to thank you guys for every single one of your reviews! 15 reviews for 3 chapters! And those weren't even the exiting ones! Those were the boring ones in between the exiting ones! BY THE WAY, THIS CHAPTER IS AN EXITING ONE!! Does anyone even read these? Guess not. So, let's get to CHAPTER FOUR!
I'm Alright by Sugarcult
And I need my distance
'Cause I'm feeling selfish
But I don't want to let you down
I sighed heavily as I plopped down on my bed. I listened as I heard Derek close his window through the thin wall. I thought back on how the day had gone. That was possibly the most fun I will ever have. Mainly, because Andrew had set up a meeting tomorrow morning in which we will discuss our plan to take the Edison Group down. My life will never be normal after that. Either we won't succeed in taking them down, or the cops will be after us for about 4,000 cases of murder. Deep down, I was completely terrified. Questions reeled through my mind.
What if we didn't get to Aunt Lauren in time? What if she wasn't even alive? How would we even take down something as strong as the Edison Group?! It just wasn't possible! My dad. What about my dad? What would happen to him if I didn't show up? Would they take it out on him?
Just then, Greg called from downstairs saying it was time for dinner. I sighed again and bounced down the stairs into the dining room to take my usual seat. Craig sat next to me. It was like a routine now.
He leaned in closer to me and asked softly, "Will you come for a walk with me after dinner? Please?" How could I even say no? He had that pathetic look on his face, like if I rejected, he'd burst into tears.
What the hay. "Sure," I replied. He flashed a brilliant smile and his grey eyes were shining brightly. I couldn't help but smile back. It was contagious.
Dinner went surprisingly fast. Not many people talked. It was mainly Tori complaining to her new BFF, Sydney. I guess it was just a one-day thing for Chealsy. She was with Kelsey and Aiden a lot, I had noticed.
After diner, I went upstairs to get a jacket and sprinted back down the stairs. I slid to a stop at the entrance to the living room, to find Craig leaning against the door, looking bored. When he seen that I had entered the room, his dull face filled with color and he smiled the same brilliant smile he used when I hadn't rejected him. Once again, I couldn't resist flashing him an exited smile of my own. He took my hand and gently led me out the door into the night air.
"Look at the moon," he whispered. Oh my…it was beautiful! You didn't see anything like it in movies. It was a full moon, which made my mind get off of track for a few seconds as I thought of Derek. The moon was so brilliantly bright. There were no stars in the sky, just the moon.
Craig took advantage of the situation and said, "It reminds me of your eyes." Such a cheesy compliment. I muttered a small 'Thanks' and turned my head away pretending to be embarrassed.
"Chloe…there's a reason I brought you out here. Umm…- just wanted to ask you something."
…
"What is it?" I questioned suspiciously
"Well, ummm…," he sighed, "Do you want to um, watch a movie sometime?"
…
"Like a date?" An actual boy…asking me out. Me!
Another sigh. "Yes. Will you go on a date…with me?"
I'm pretty sure I smiled hugely. "Yes!"
A look of shock crossed his face. "Really?!"
"Of course! Why not?" I asked.
"Well, I don't know. No one's ever really said yes to me before. Although…I haven't asked anyone since I found out about my powers," he said.
"Well, I like you. So…about that date…" He suddenly out his arm around my shoulders. I reacted by putting my arm around his waist and laying my head ob his chest.
We walked all the way back to the safe house like that in a nice silence. When we got to the door, I straightened and slid my hand into his. When we opened the door no one was in sight. Craig walked me to my door and I, once again plopped down on my bed, but this time, I slid into a peaceful sleep, dreaming in bliss. And then a knock sounded at my door.
So…? Awesome, right? I know, a little fast, but I figured you guys deserved a little action. YOUR WELCOME! Lol! Naw, just kidding, if you hate, feel free to tell me. =) I don't care!
