Chloe's POV
"You have to come!" Tori argued with me she'd just told me that Kit and Lauren were visiting and they were staying at Derek's house. That's right house a week after we broke up (well technically I just left him) he'd moved into it everyone was clearly surprised,
"No thanks Tori I'd rather skip out." I explained again Kit and Lauren just announced they were getting married and they decided to have a celebratory dinner that everyone just had to attend and where is this dinner you ask. At my ex-boyfriends house the one I hadn't seen for a year the one I was still getting over. I'd joined a band a few weeks after I left Derek we covered our favorite songs and created new ones. I sighed,
"You will do no such thing!" She snapped and I groaned,
"Tori it's at Derek's house and," I paused to let her guess and when she didn't I continued, "there is a storm coming to hit tonight."
"Exactly why you should come isn't your heater still broken?" I sighed and Tori took that as a yes, "exactly so you're coming over!" She hung up on me and I moved to my closet opening it I choose a light blue dress that clung to my body tightly ending mid thigh. Tori whistled as she picked me up ten minutes later I'd accessorized it with a turquoise bracelet and earrings. I was wearing 3 inch heels like she said they too were a kind of turquoise color I'd used light blue eye shadow barely noticeable and thick mascara. She nodded her approval before herding me into her car handing me my black shall and over the shoulder bag. We were going to a fancy lunch/dinner with some colleges of mine and Tori was one of our agents since she was a genius with computers. We pulled up at Tarki and the rest of the band met us there. Daniel had bright blue eyes and thick black hair that hung just over his eyes he was the male lead singer, beside him was Karan with his thin and fair blonde hair and light brown eyes with flecks of gold and amber he played base. Drone stood beside him he had dark brown hair with almost black eyes he played the guitar all three boys were always flocked with fan girls but sadly Drone was gay. Our drums were played by Lani she had many different colors in her hair and dyed it regularly for today it was rainbowed horizontally with very bright colors her eyes were a bright green and I smiled at her Lani was a new friend to Tori and I my entire band was supernatural and we wrote many songs on running away. Away from those who wished to hurt us Daniel was a werewolf Karan was an Exhastio half-demon Lani was a water/nature half-demon and Drone was sorcerer. Oh and did I mention I played guitar, piano and was the female lead singer.
"Oh my gosh!" Tori squealed as we left we'd gotten the record deal and we were filming our first music video in Costa Rica soon Drone was bouncing up and down causing us all to laugh. They were my family not that Simon or Tori weren't they were but I'd grown close to my band mates so close I even called Daniel bro. He was dating Lani and if you saw the two of them you'd think they were adorable together and as I said Drone was gay, Karan was like my best guy friend if Daniel was my brother so we hung out a lot. I quickly told them what hell Tori was dragging me too now and they all gave me sympathetic looks Lani hugged me and told me we had to get together after to talk. I rolled my eyes and she smiled most people look at Lani and think she's a total punk rocker and she kind of is even though she's random and crazy (especially on a sugar high) but Lani was even more she was a total Bookworm! She was constantly reading and probably had a new book everyday her brother Peter whom she called Po teased her about it all the time even though he was possible jealous or just really proud of her. Po stepped up and started to drag her to the car Lani kissed Daniel quick which caused Po to glare at him. I smiled as I got into Tori's car and she drove me towards living hell.
As she pulled into Derek's house I held my breath I hadn't been here yet and Tori smiled sheepishly and Tori stepped out of the car,
"He's not here." She informed me and I jumped out of the car,
"Alright I've been here seen this can we go now?" I asked as Tori jumped up and grabbed a key from inside a frog's mouth I gaped. I'd told Derek I'd always wanted to have a frog to hold my spare key to my house and now seeing this I got even madder at him. I pushed past Tori as she unlocked the door and placed the key back where she got it. I looked around and was stunned into silence the house was roomy but the walls were blank he really needed a woman's touch in here. I looked in the kitchen and found it a little more colorful and cheery. It was a nice creamy orange and all the appliances were dark black against it. Tori gave me the full tour of the house after that and I smiled when she didn't show me any science experiment room and I slipped into one of the guest bedrooms sitting on the bed I informed Tori to get me when my aunt arrived she rolled her eyes but agreed. An hour later she came up and told me to come down as I did I noticed that it was snowing hard outside. I asked Tori about it as we walked down the stairs and she frowned,
"Everything's gone into lock down Chloe Lauren and Kit are stuck at the airport and we're stuck here. I blinked and blinked again,
"Stuck here!" I managed out my voice louder and sharper than usual, "for how long?" I asked when I gained my composure,
"A few days."
"A few days!" I screamed and we heard pounding footsteps run around the house to look down and see Simon and Roxy looking up at us not moments later did another person arrived one I'd wished to never see again. I looked away from him quickly and at Tori we were standing in the middle of the stairwell them at the bottom Simon's eyes flicking from me to Derek Roxy's mouth was open in disbelief that I was even here and Tori smiled smugly at her. Derek was stunned and kept blinking like he was imagining things,
"Tori who's your friend?" he asked incredulously and I rolled my eyes I hadn't changed that much over the year I'd added dark purple streaks to my hair and changed my style a little. Okay a lot. Tori smirked at him but I covered her mouth before she could speak and Derek continued looking at me now, "this is a family event only and now your stuck here like the rest of us when you weren't even supposed to be here." I rolled my eyes and walked down the rest of the stairs pulling my shall closer to me I brushed past everyone,
"Don't worry I was just leaving." I replied reaching out to open the door when Roxy grabbed my hand she was super strong a kitsune a Japanese shape shifting fox if you know what that is lets just say she had nine tails. I let go of the handle and Tori ran down the rest of the stairs,
"Don't worry the storm should let up soon Chloe and then you can return back to your broken heating vent!" She told me and I rolled my eyes,
"I'm getting it fixed." I muttered under my breath and Tori smiled,
"Chloe?" Derek asked and I looked up at him and glared,
"On second thought I'd rather be out there." I turned and grabbed the doorknob yanking the door open wind blew in my face and the door slammed closed Derek growling down at me,
"Are you suicidal!" Derek screamed at me and I glared, "you'd freeze out their not to mention in what you're wearing!"
"You would know." I teased and Derek glared down at me.
Derek's POV
I watched as she walked away from me towards my kitchen and I couldn't help but smile. I checked her out from behind surprised that the girl in front of me was actually Chloe the way her ass shook the way she'd filled out throughout the year. I sighed leaning on the door Tori passed by me with a subtle glare that she gave me every time I brought up Chloe. My throat thickened at the thought of her my Chloe in my house the house that was meant to be ours.
"Do you have any food!" Chloe asked aggravated storming in an angry expression on her face and I smiled at her causing her to snort at me and raise an eyebrow,
"Pantry." I told her and she went quiet. Chloe had always wanted to keep all our food in a pantry with only the necessities in the fridge and a few cupboards I had done that reminding myself of her every time I walked the kitchen. Chloe glared at me,
"How many ideas of mine did you use in your fugging house!" She screamed and I smirked,
"A lot." She glared and ran up my stairwell to who knows where seconds later Roxy and Tori followed her leaving me and Simon on the main floor and Simon smiled,
"Dude you have a second chance you can get her back!" I groaned and headed into the living room of course Simon followed, "it's either her or it Derek I can repeat this over and over if I need too but you have to choose."
"And this time it's forever." I whispered and Simon nodded eagerly as I sighed. "She'd never take me back." I tried to convince him but Simon laughed,
"Derek she hasn't gone on a date since you." I looked up at Simon I knew I looked shocked,
"Really?" I asked incredulously and Simon nodded. Getting off the couch we started upstairs following the sound of music no literally someone was playing my piano and as I opened the door to my music room I saw Tori and Roxy sitting on the couches whispering and Chloe was playing the piano.
All the time passed away
All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste, all the promises we made
One by one they vanished just the same
Of all the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
And years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still played out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflected now what nothings could have been
It was worth it in the end.
Now it all seems so clear
There nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long
That summers moving on
And we reach for something that's already gone
Of all the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
And years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still played out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflected now what nothings could have been
It was worth it in the end.
Oh, you know we gotta leave this town
(We know we gotta leave this town)
But we never knew, and we never knew how
(Never knew when, never knew how)
We'd not end up the way we are
Oh, we know we gotta leave this town
(We know we gotta leave this town)
But we never knew when, never knew how
(Never knew how)
Of all the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
And years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still played out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflected now what nothings could have been
It was worth it in the end.
End.
I was shell shocked standing there watching Chloe sing her heart out Tori and Roxy tapped there feet to the song before waving me over to sit with them. Chloe glanced up and her eyes pierced into mine,
"I'm not going to put it behind me so don't ask me too," she told me and Roxy sighed before Chloe continued, "but this storm could last a week at the most so…. I guess we can be friends." I nodded and Chloe smiled at me making my heartache for her the way her lips pulled up. Simon noticed me staring and elbowed me in the stomach just as Chloe gave out a small giggle,
"Another!" Tori squealed, "Tell them!" Chloe rolled her eyes and stretched her fingers out before relaxing again,
"What song?" She asked and Tori turned to us,
"Chloe's in a band and I'm one of her agents she's going to Costa Rica soon for there first music video!" I glanced up at Chloe who was blushing slightly, "and the whole band is supernatural that's why they named there band Bitten well Daniel picked the name cause he's a werewolf." I stiffened and Chloe sighed at the sight instantly knowing why it just made me miss her more. She knew me better than anyone and she's the only one I would want to know me that way.
"Simon favorite song?" She asked and Simon shrugged looking at Roxy, who smiled and took the opportunity to choose a song,
"Um," she hesitated,
"One second." Chloe interrupted pulling out her cell, which we all noticed, was vibrating, "hello?" Chloe answered. "Daniel? Yeah I know the song why? Seriously! I haven't practiced! No I'm stuck at his house. Yeah a piano no sure I'll ask. 'Kay bye." She hung up and groaned,
"What did he want?" Tori asked,
"New song." Chloe replied and I let out a breath I hadn't known I was holding. He was just a band member Simon rolled his eyes at me, Chloe looked around the room, "Derek?" I realized she was talking to me and jumped paying attention to her,
"Yeah?"
"Do you have a guitar?" She asked and I nodded pointing at the closet she smiled and walked over pulling my acoustic guitar out before looking at Roxy, "how 'bout I play our new cover?" Chloe asked and we all nodded our agreement as Chloe smiled.
Wish I had concentrated
They said love was complicated
But it's something I just fell into
And it was overrated but just look what I created
I came out alive but I'm black and blue.
Before you ask me if I'm all right
Think about what I had to do
Wake up and smell the break up
Fix my heart put on my make-up
Another mess I didn't plan
And I'll bet you thought you beat me
Wish you could only see
I got an I heart question mark
Written on the back of my hand
I'd be fine if you'd just walk by
But you had to to talk about why
You were wrong and I was right
But I can't believe you made me
Sit at home cry like a baby
Wait right by the phone every night
And now you ask about you and I
There's no you and I
Remember what you put me through
I had to
Wake up and smell the break up
Fix my heart put on my make-up
Another mess I didn't plan
And I'll bet you thought you beat me
Wish you could only see
I got an I heart question mark
Written on the back of my hand
And when your home all alone at night
You still wonder why
You took everything I had oh baby
I had a lot about you and I
There's no you and I
And I know someday you will
Wake up and smell the break up
Realize we won't make-up
It didn't go the way you planned
And you'll know you didn't beat me
When you look down and see
I got an I heart question mark
Written on the back of my hand
Written on the back of my hand
An I heart question mark
Yeah
A written on the back of my hand
Chloe's fingers glided over the strings on the guitar and I stood leaving the room. I couldn't help but notice the amount of 'true' emotion she felt for the song, she'd related it to us.
Chloe's POV
Everyone left with Derek and I sighed returning to the piano to practice September again.
A/N- September is by Daughtry and I Heart ? is by Taylor Swift.
Hope it was good. By the way the next chapter is already written but if I don't get a LOT of reviews then I won't post it on Monday! No, this is not a song fiction! I just had to get Derek to know her new job.
