CPOV

I woke up to the blaring tone of the AT&T ring tone that I set as my alarm. Today I had to get to class early. I have been going to NYU for a little over two years now. I am in the Tich Fine Arts Program and am majoring in directing. Today I had to go in early, because my partner is sick and we have to finish our movie by twelve.

As I was walking out of my apartment door I got a call from a private number. I've been getting these a lot throughout the years. Usually I pick it up. I gets so many calls from them I figure 'hey, lets have some fun!' But no one ever answers after I say hi. They just hang up and call again later. They've been getting on my nerves, so I stopped answering, figuring that if they really wanted to talk to me they would leave a message. Sometimes on a night, when I'm not paying attention, I may answer it… But there is still no answer after my greeting!

Just thinking about all the times no one answers me gets me mad, so I answer the phone and say " Hi, is today my lucky day and you're finally going to answer me?"

Silence.

" Bye," I mutter under my breath. This person does not deserve my time.

As I was about to hang up, a gruff voice that hit a spot of recognition in my memory answered, "It's so nice to hear you voice again."

Totally freaked, I ask, " Um, who are you?"

No answer.

Then a dial tone.

That bastard hung up on me!

Pissed off, I stomped to my red Chrysler Cube and drove to the school. When I got there I saw my partner sitting in the corner, nose red and face flushed.

" What are you doing here, Ryan? You're 'sposed to be at home resting!"

Slowly Ryan's lips raised into a grin. "I couldn't let you do it alone1 it's my grade too, and you're do clumsy, you might fall down the stairs and crush the tape that has our movie on it! I had to be here for my GPA's sake"

I gave him the best glare I could give him, but he just busted out in hysterics.

Ryan is like my big brother. He's protective over me, he helps me out, and he's my best friend, Tori's, fiancé. They were both at home sick for about a week. He was sick first, but when Tori stayed at their apartment open day, next thing you know she's sick and engaged!

Tori attends NYU as well. She's into the Science and math program. She graduates top of her class next fall.

As Ryan and I were finishing up I got a call from Tori.

"Hey, Tori! Aren't you supposed to be resting?"

" Chloe! Chloe! You have to come quick! There are two people here that I know you are dying to see."

Totally confused, I ask, "who is it?"

Tori gave a snort into the phone, a clear sign that I was not going to know until I got there.

I gave Ryan a quick assessment and decided that he needed to get home, and he definitely wasn't driving home! He was already sound asleep as we got into the Cube.

Tori and ryan live about an hour away from campus, considering they both only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays they didn't have to live close. So, around an hour and a half, we got to the appartment and there was an unfamiliar black Sadan parked in my usual parking space.

When I knocked on the door, Tori opened it with the biggest smile of her face I have ever seen.

" Chloe!" She Squeeled, " I havent seen you in for-ever!"

Rolling my eyes, I said, " Tori, it's only been two days"

" Well I'm sick. You know I get delusional, all my days run together!" she said.

As Ryan was getting out of the car, Tori ran past me and got a hold of him. " oh, no Ryan. You're getting worse!"

As she nursed Ryan into the house, I walked in to see two people sitting on the couch. One had almond shapped eyes and blond hair. His grin said everything.

The other person was a female. She had long brownish-black hair and caramel colored skin. She had her eyebrows slanting in worry and a small, sad smile on her face. Even though I havent seen her in around five and a hal years, I still could recognize her anywhere.

"Simon! Rae! Oh my gosh, you're here!"

I rushed over to Simon and gave him a tight hug. He squeezed me back and then let go so that I could walk over to Rae.

She stood up and smiled at me, a genuine smile. I smiled back, feeling the tears rolling down my cheeks. I ran towards her and surged her into a tight hug

" Rae, I can't believe it's you! Where have you been?"

"Chloe, I've missed you so much! I- I- I'm so sorry about what happened!" She started to cry into my shoulders, so I patted her on the back and whispered, "I forgive you" in her ear.

After the reunion died down, and Ryan was fast asleep in bed, Tori came and sat down next to me on the couch. She and Simon, and even Rae exchanged knowing glances. Finally, Simon nodded at the both of them and Tori spoke.

" Chloe, honey, there's one more person here to see you."

I looked around, not seeing anyone around the living room, I nodded and said, " well who is it?''

Tori gave me a sad smile and said, ' Now, don't get mad. Promise me you won't get mad. Ryan's in the house and he doesn't known about the whole I-can-raise-the dead thing. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep it like that."

I gave her a funny look and, reluctantly, i promised. Now I was eager to see who this person was that they were fussing over.

Again, Tori glanced at Simon and they both grabbed my hands and gave them a big squeeze. Then, after looking into my eyes, Simon turned his head and said, only loud enough for a person to hear if she was in that room, " You can come out now."

Footsteps, and then a man emerged out of the dark hall. He had was really tall with a body that you could tell was toned, even under his loose fitted clothes. He had black hair that hung in his eyes- not in an emo way- and dark sunglasses so I couldn't see his eyes. He was looking at his feet, looking nervous. Finally, he looked up at me with a small smile. He finally looked up at me and gave me a small smile. Taking off his glasses he said, " Hey, Chloe."

I finally got a glimpse of his eyes, they were the deepest green I had ever seen. I could never forget those eyes. And his voice! That voice from the phone.

I knew who he was.

It was Derek.
