Derek's POV
I lay in my bed trying to find a way to fix what I had messed up two years ago but how do you fix a mistake that you made when your still making it? It wasn't like I could give up on the project I was so close I knew that if I could do it than everything would be fixed. Sighing I got up and grudgingly made my way down the stairs to see Chloe cooking in my kitchen in my clothes. I loved the sight and as she started to sing and shake her but to the beat of some song blaring from my stereo I started to get excited and so did… I turned and ran up the stairs jumping in the shower and blasting it on cold as fast as I could trying to get the image out of my head. But other ones just added to it and I tried to remind myself that things with Chloe were over a long time ago. Finally I stepped out of the shower and dried off returning downstairs to find out that Chloe had changed but she wasn't wearing her outfit from last night she was wearing a pair of my shrunken sweats and a long t-shirt of mine,
"Chloe," my voice caused her to spin and her face went a few shades of red,
"Uh Derek I'm sorry it's getting cold and I uh didn't think you'd mind if um I borrowed some-" I held my hand up and smiled,
"Not at all." She smiled and Roxy poked her side causing her to look back and glare at her shaking her head,
"Chloe!" Tori's voice filled the house and Tori was staring down at Chloe incredulously, "what in gods name happened to your clothes! I thought I changed this!"
"You did but one I have no clothes here and two it's too cold to wear a dress." I noticed then that it was a few degrees colder and excused myself to the basement to the furnace fixing it quickly I checked on my project quick. Everything was going according to plan so I walked back upstairs Chloe was shivering on the couch and I joined her smiling she nodded at me gripping her blanket closer,
"Hey," I greeted her and she smiled,
"Get over here lunk I'm cold!" she snapped and I moved closer and she grabbed me pulling herself towards me and I noticed how cold she really was. I got up causing her to groan turning the thermostat up I placed in a movie well I was at it, "which one?" Her teeth chattered as she asked and I looked at the cover,
"Beauty and the Beast." I told her and she blushed,
"You remembered?" She whispered and I nodded walking over to her and slipping under the covers with her,
"Course I did." I kissed her forehead, "I remember everything hence the house. The frog the pantry the movie collection."
"It has all my favorites in the front." She whispered into my chest and I nodded,
"That's what you wanted Chloe everything in this house reminds me of you."
"Why?"
"I can't live without you and they remind me everyday." She sighed and I heard her sniffle,
"I kept the pictures." She whispered and I brought her closer to me burying my face in her hair,
"I know." My voice was thick and I let some tears out, "it stung." I managed out and Chloe sighed and I thought she was going to pull away tightening my grip on her she hugged me back,
"It hurt." She whispered, "everything hurt." She whispered and I hung my head,
"Did I really throw you into a wall?" I asked and she nodded into my neck, "how bad did I hurt you?" I asked and she sighed pulling back she pulled my shirt up and showed me her scar. It was a light white line that ran across her stomach looking at it made pain shoot through me. The girl who I loved the girl who had a flawless body now was had a mark against it and she got it from me. The guy who was head over heals in love with her, unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her.
"Really?" She asked and I cocked my head side ways,
"What?" I asked and she giggled,
"You said you still love me."
"Unconditionally and-"
"Irrevocably." She quoted, "I know you just said it." I smiled and stroked her cheek brushing some of her hair back,
"It's true." I placed a hand on her scar and brushed my thumb along it causing her to moan, "beautiful." I whispered in her ear and she smiled. I don't know what overcame me then but I leaned down and kissed her. She kissed me back. I bit her bottom lip and she opened on command letting my tongue slip in and battle it out with hers I won as always and she resorted to running her hands over my body. I moaned as she slipped one of her cold hands under my shirt,
"Oh god!" I heard someone scream Chloe pulled away and we looked over to see Roxy covering her face,
"Wow good porn bro!" Simon joked and Tori came in smacking the back of his head, "ow what was that for!" Simon squealed and Tori rolled her eyes.
"Guys!" I snapped and they all glanced at Chloe and I blushing red Chloe started to pulled her hand out of my shirt accidently brushing my pants on her way out at least I think it was an accident I bit my lip to hold in a moan, "can you go!" I tried to force the anger in my voice but it was thick with lust and Simon laughed pulling his girlfriend out of the room,
"Sure bro of course." His laughter filled my house and Tori huffed at us before following. I turned back to Chloe who pulled away a little,
"Chloe-" I started and she held her hand up grabbing the remote of the table she pressed play,
"Let's just lay down and watch the movie 'kay?" she asked and I nodded laying down behind her I pulled her into my snuggling up to her kissing her neck.
"I love you." I whispered and she smiled.
Just watching Chloe sing along to all the song makes me smile I remember when we used to do this every Friday before I started the experiment. She'd pick a Disney movie and then we'd watch it and she'd sing and laugh and it would be just the two of us in our own little world.
The movie ended some time later and Chloe smiled at me I grinned back,
"I should get to bed." She nodded then and I sat up holding a hand out to her,
"I think I should stay here." She commented and I sighed nodding,
"Goodnight Chloe."
"Night Derek." I turned and headed up the stairs and Tori flew by me,
"I said to forgive him not to get hot and horny on the couch with him!" She yelled at Chloe I sighed and made it to my room listening to Chloe's response,
"I know, but you don't seem to understand Tori."
"I understand but you shouldn't rush into things what if he does something again?" Tori blurted and I froze.
"Tori I trust him!" Chloe yelled back truth striking every word,
"You trusted him then too and he still pushed you into a wall!" Tori told her and I groaned putting my head in my hands I thought Tori was helping me!
Chloe's POV
I sat there stunned into silence I really wanted people to stop bringing that up!
"He could have killed you!"
"You think I don't know that!" I sighed, "you think I can just move on and not remember? I remember Tori I remember the look in his eyes when I first slammed into the wall to the look in his eyes when I dragged myself out of the room."
"You never told me what?"
"He was joyous at first to see me in pain in intolerable pain." I sighed, "as soon as I was getting out it flitted to regret and remorse but he never came to me Tori. He never came to apologize he never came to beg me not to leave he just left me note saying that he'd continue tomorrow. As if he wouldn't allow me to go. I was a doormat."
"You are not a doormat Chloe!" Tori screeched at me. I shrugged and laid down closing my eyes willing for sleep to come.
