Previously In Lani's POV
"Lani?" Spinning around in my totally awesome spinning chair I smiled and hugged my bestest gay friend in the world.
"Sound systems on the kitchen table." I told him and Drone nodded slipping a disk into my hand.
"For later." He whispered and dragged Karan into the kitchen. Glancing down in my hand I smiled,
"The perfect end for the perfect night." I whispered and inserted the disk into my DVD player. This really was going to be an amazing night.
PARTY TIME!
Daniel's POV
Finally we were done setting up. A table full of drinks, a table full of appetizers and a sign pointing to our bathroom. Lani had gone all out with the decorations and the music which of course was from our CD's. The living room was the main place for guests to go not like we'd have hundreds or anything Tori was bringing a few girlfriends who were bringing their boyfriends. Drone was bringing another guy, another 'gay' guy and from what I've heard Karan had no idea. Not like he had to be jealous cause Drone's gay friend was bringing his boyfriend. Derek was coming with himself of course. Po was coming with a few guy friends of his who happened to be single then there was Simon and Roxy just bringing themselves and that giant rock sitting on her left hand. Lani was inviting her entire family. Terrifying. I mean it was hard enough to control my girlfriend but her family! I decided to invite no one. Being with Lani was enough for me, well that and like Derek I didn't trust many outsiders. I think our worst guest coming tonight was Steve Saunders. Chloe's father was still in town he was filling out paper work for...for when they pull Chloe's plug and since he was still here Lauren made us invite him. She made us by threatening to show up herself and bring old people with her. Old single woman or Cougars as they are formally known as. Well after her threat we called him up hoping he'd decline but he said he'd come. I knew we were all nervous about this and we were all mad especially Derek who ordered us all to make sure Steve went no where near him. Mainly for the fact that I'm sure if Derek was close enough he's "accidentally" rip Steve's head off.
"DANIEL ANSWER THE DOOR!" I jolted up from my door running to pull the door open and let in her family.
"Slow as usual Daniel?" Her sister quirked at me before brushing past me with her husband. This was going to be a long night.
Shortly after Lani's family showed up the room began to fill with all our guests. Lani greeted Steve at the door because no one else would move to do so. Drone was "slyly" checking out Karan who was completely oblivious to that fact.
"Don't talk to me!" I sighed as I followed the voice into the kitchen to see Steve standing beside Derek. Looking around I noticed both Karan and Drone were missing seeing as it was Drone's turn to watch out for Steve that must've been how he was standing with Derek.
"I think we need to talk."
"No we really don't." Taking a deep breath Derek looked up from his red plastic cup at me. Like usual he was giving off his puppy dog eyes begging me to help him.
"Mr. Saunders please leave Derek alone." Chloe's father turned around to face me and you could see instantly the toll that his choice was taking on him. His eyes were slightly swollen as if he'd cried an hour ago, their were deep pockets under his eyes showing how much sleep he'd skipped. The old man looked as if he was in his eighties and near death.
"I can't let her remain in that bed." He stated and Derek closed his eyes his hands shaking with anger,
"She won't be! She'll wake up!" His voice began to rise and was laced with a firm belief.
"What if she doesn't? How long do you wish to see her like that?" Steve argued.
Derek's POV
"She'll wake up! I know she will!" Steve just frowned at me before sighing and sitting down at the table. By now we'd attracted everyone's attention and those who didn't know what was going on were excusing them to the backyard to let us discuss our issues.
"What's going on? Why is everyone yelling?" Karan asked looking around at everyone in the room. I'm guessing that he has no idea what is going on because he'd not angry at all. Taking a deep breath I tried to calm down my anger before I broke something.
"Steve Saunders here is going to pull Chloe's plug." Drone whispered looking down at his hands, "I was supposed to tell you earlier but...I just couldn't bring myself to do it."
"Excuse me?" Karan was shaking in anger much like I was when I first found out but at the moment I wasn't sure if it was at Steve or at his boyfriend for keeping a secret like this.
"I love my daughter don't get me wrong but I can't...no I won't let her remain in that damned bed for eternity!"
"You won't have to she will wake up Mr. Saunders." Lani cut in to the conversation but it wasn't helping a bit. He'd made up his mind and that was that. I was losing the most important person in my life.
"I want to show you something." Daniel spoke up before nodding at his girlfriend who lead us to the living room. Changing the disk in their blu-ray player she stepped back and pressed play. The screen flickered to life and the static began on the T.V before cutting out and showing the wooden floorboards of a house or an apartment.
'Is it on?' Someone off screen asked and a small laugh chimed through the speakers,
'I think so.'
'Well is it or is it not?' The camera swung up and showed the faces of the band members excluding Daniel.
'It is calm down.' Daniel replied from behind camera. The walls were covered in decorations behind them, balloons had the words Happy New Years written across them.
'It's almost twelve.' Karan spoke from on camera as he stared at his watch.
'How far away?' Chloe asked as she tried to look at the watch.
'Stop stepping on my foot shorty!' Karan demanded elbowing her aside, 'three minutes.'
'Enough time to get the champagne!' Lani cheered before running out of the screen shot only to return moments later to pop the champagne bottle.
"This was last years new years." Daniel spoke up, "it was a memorable time for all of us. Chloe is a big part of our band she's the glue holding us together even now but if she's gone we won't be visiting her at the hospital we won't have the sweet scent of strawberries following us around to cheer us on all day. We need Chloe."
"Not just them but us too." Tori pipped up, "she's not just my best friend she's my sister!"
"The love of my life." I whispered quietly but it caught his attention so I spoke up, "didn't it hurt to lose your wife?" His face fell and he sighed.
"More then you can imagine."
"Then why are you taking her away from me from us!" I demanded glancing back at the screen to see her laughing with her friends. It hurt a little to think that she was so happy but I know she deserved it after the way I treated her before.
"Five more months." I glanced up at him and he nodded, "five months and then you have to let her go." Holding back tears of joy I walked over and hugged him. Maybe just maybe he might have given me my life back. My life that is and always will be Chloe. For now though I need to focus on passing all my coming exams, it's what she'd want me to do.
