Mmmmm. Chocolate. :}
Chloe's POV.
I wrapped my arms around my knee's. After having something to eat, I went into my room. I said on the bed, hugging my knee's to my chest. I held onto my necklace. I didn't want to see Amber. I didn't want to have to explain. I couldn't...
I wasn't surpised when Derek walked in. Within a second, he was on my bed and I was curled up to him. A few tears spilled out. He wipped them away with his thumb. I clung to his shirt.
"Where did you get the shirt?" I asked. He took his last one off after the car crash.
"I found a cupboard of clothes," he chuckled. "Only thing that fit me."
I smiled and tilted my head up.
Derek was watching me. His hair was getting longer and needed to be cut. I ran my hands through it. I stretched out, so I was lying half beside him and half on top of him. He didn't seem to mind.
I leant up and kissed him. His kissed me back, his hands sliding up my waist. I leaned more into the kiss. I poured everything I had into it.
I pulled back suddenly, sitting up. Derek frowned at me. I just shook my head and got up. I rubbed my eyes and stared at the window.
"I'm sorry," I said with my back to him. "I'm just...numb. I guess. Numb and...sad."
I jumped slightly when I felt Derek's arms go around me. He rested his chin on my shoulders.
"It's okay, Chloe," he mumbled into my hair. "I understand."
"What happens now?"
"I don't know."
We stayed together, staring out the window, wondering what happened next.
Two weeks passed by. Two weeks. No one did much. We talked quietly. We ate. We slept. But we didn't do anything. We were all sad about Amber but we were also happy about stoppi ng the Edison group. Megan and Peter stayed together mostly.
They stayed in their room a lot. We left them. They needed each other right now.
We all stood by the door. Finally, when they came out their room, they decided they weren't staying.
Peter told us he was going to stay with his grandma and grandad for a while. Megan was going with him. We all understood. We would miss them but they needed to be with family. Peter said he would come back, to learn more about his and Megan's powers, but for now, they wanted to be normal.
I hugged Megan tightly. "Miss you, crazy girl," I whispered.
She hugged me back. "Misssss you toooo."
I hugged Peter next. He smiled slightly and hugged me back stiffly.
They got into Aunt Lauren's car and drove away.
Back inside I slumped down onto the sofa. Johnny sat beside me. He took my hand, squeezed it, then after a moment, let go.
I sighed.
"I'm going to miss Megan," I sighed again. "She had a great giggle."
"She did," Johnny agreed, smiling slightly. "They'll be back."
"You think?"
"I think."
"I-I hope so," I said sadly.
Across me, Liz and Eric appeared, sitting on the oposite sofa. They were holding hands. At least it was good for some.
"Larisa is with Amber," Liz said quietly. "She's in shock, but she's dealing."
"Sh-she shouldn't have to deal," I said grimly. "She shouldn't have died."
"But she did, darlin'" Eric said quietly. "She has the deal. And she's doing better then we thought she would."
"I don't want to see her," I said quietly. "I...I can't. I-I-I-"
"Chloe," Liz gazed at me. "Chloe, we understand. She understands."
"Thanks."
They nodded and faded. I got up and walked around the giant living room. Simon was with Derek and Tori. Derek kept asking me if I was okay, and I assured him I saw but he keeps on worrying. I was the last one to say goodbye to Peter and Megan. Everyone else had said their goodbyes earlier.
Derek had began to trust Johnny now. Now fully, but still, there was some trust there. I was glad. Johnny and I were becoming good friends. Just friends. He looked at me like a sister. I was glad.
I felt something forceful push on my back. I gasped and fell down.
"Ouuuuccch!" I mumbled. getting to my knee's. I felt a hand on my elbow. Johnny.
"Chloe?" He frowned. "Are you okay?"
"My head," I moaned. "Did you push me?"
"No...You felt someone push you?" He helped me to my feet.
"Y-yes," I swayed. His hand stayed on my elbow.
"Oh...I don't feel so good."
I fell back down to my knee's. I wrapped my hands around myself. I barely heard Johnny call for Derek. I fell against Johnny's side. I was breathing heavily. My chest was burning. A raging fire. My head was spinning around and around.
"Chloe!" Derek's call broke through the darkness.
I tried to lift my head but I couldn't. I was being pulled down. Pulled into the darkness.
