Previously In 3rd POV
"Hey Chloe, it's me. Derek." He whispered as he took ahold of his hand, "it's Christmas soon and I hate the thought of it. Another Christmas without my Chloe and I actually thought that this year would be different. I've been thinking for weeks that you'll wake up and you'll be there with me." He whispered fear crept into his voice and he held her hand to his face tears falling down his cheeks to merge with her soft pale skin. "I miss you more every day, I wish you would wake up, that's all I want for Christmas. All I want is you." He whispered into the empty room his words reaching only his ears and the ones hidden under soft golden hair. Ears attached to a body that would never awaken. At least not before Christmas.
Karan's POV
Another day another girl. It's not like anything has changed since Drone left, so what it's not like everything I did had to do with him. All I did before was drink and take girls home so why should I change now? Why would I want to! If people even ask me if I miss Drone I say no why would I say yes I don't miss him. I really don't he's just some gay guy who left a band. We broke up because of him it's his fault. Yes I have known him for a long time we've been friends since elementary school but that doesn't mean I miss him.
"Mm." I looked to my side to see a blonde girl. I can't even remember the night before, I don't remember which bar I went to, how we met or hell even her name!
"You weren't supposed to stay over." That's how this worked we sleep together and then they slip away while I sleep. I'm not supposed to see them in the mornings. Nor do I want to. Why would I want to! One night stands don't go work this way,
"I was tired so I crashed." The girl got up and collected her clothes,
"Well leave already." I snapped before leaving the room.
"Karan!" Hope filled me as I heard the voice I wanted to hear...or not. Coming around the stairs I looked down to see Daniel standing there not Drone. God like I cared if it was Drone!
"What do you want." I grumbled as I continued my way down. How could I even think Daniel was Drone!
"It's Christmas tomorrow, we're just seeing if you're coming."
"We?" I asked and I looked around,
"Yeppers!" Lani said and I looked to see her sitting on my kitchen table, "but it looks like your busy." I followed her eyes up the stairs to see the blonde standing there I moved aside to let her out and she scurried out the door.
"I'm busy Christmas."
"Already?" Lani asked her voice falling and I looked away,
"Yeah." I walked into my kitchen only to be followed by tall dark and creepy. It was an old nickname from when Daniel joined out band,
"You're not and you're going to come no questions asked. If you don't then I'll come here and drag your drunk ass there!"
"Fine." I sighed whilst pouring my coffee, "I'll be there now can you leave."
"Fine by me." He replied his voice was dead serious but I could hear the waver of fear in it. What was he afraid of?
"Don't drink to much okay." Lani said before kissing my cheek, "and try to keep of the girls for a little while you'll get an STD one day."
"I will not!"
"As if he hasn't already caught one." Daniel teased and I blushed,
"I do not have an STD!" I shouted at them only making Lani giggle and ruffle my hair like I was five.
"Sure."
"I'm serious!"
Tori's POV
"So it's a nice restaurant?" Derek asked and I nodded, "and he's paying."
"Yes."
"He's nice right." Derek was grilling me about my date with Po on Christmas Eve.
"Yes okay he's nice and perfect and we're going out!"
"If he does anything I'm just a call away." I nodded with a smile on my face. Threw the years and these months without Chloe we've gotten closer became more like brother and sister. Sure I still tease the hell out of Derek but in the end he's there for me even if it's as annoying as hell! "I mean it Tori if he says something or makes a move call or text me and I'll rush there."
"He won't."
"But if he does. Promise me." His dark green eyes were deadly serious and I knew he would not give this up if I didn't agree so I nodded my head,
"I promise."
"Good. I don't want to hear what you're going to wear." He turned away and left the kitchen before I could open my mouth to tell him. Damn he was fast when he was avoiding me.
Derek's POV
I was hosting a Christmas party at my house, we'd all already went to Chloe's hospital room and dropped off gifts for her. It was better then all going on Christmas in that chaotic place but I knew we'd probably all end up there on Christmas day. Apparently according to Daniel and Lani they'd managed to get Karan to come and a possible reappearance of their band mate Drone. Simon was coming with his girlfriend Roxy and he was dropping the big stone on new years at his place. It was fun watching him control himself so he didn't blurt it out randomly I swear I've caught him almost saying it more then once. Lauren and Kit were down in Hawaii doing god knows what and I really didn't want to know. Tori was out with Po for half the night but she was making it in time for the party which I guess is good.
"Great thanks!" Lani said as she walked into my kitchen her cell phone at her ear, "see you then and don't forget my present!" She closed her phone and sent me a smile. Her hair was pink with purple tips today and she was toying with the strands,
"How does your hair not fall out with all this dying colors." She shrugged,
"Magic." She replied grinning at me and I rolled my eyes,
"Of course you'd use magic." She smiled and shrugged,
"More fun that way!" She skipped out of the room and I sat at my table. Having a Christmas party here was going to be a bad idea.
Especially with Lani in charge.
A/N- It's short. I'll write more later.
