Untitled, Chapter 1

Chloe's point of view

I was walking on Elgin Street, on my way back to my little cozy apartment. I now lived in the city of Ottawa, in Canada, because I decided to take photography classes at the University of Ottawa. Why have I decided to move here? Well, it's simple: I didn't want to be found by the Edison Group, and after I did an online visit of their campus, I thought that maybe it was a good idea to travel. And why have I decided to quit on my dream to become a movie director? Well, it reminded me too much of my old life, the one where I was always running away from these freaks, the Edison Group along with my friends Tori, Simon and Derek. I was 16 when Andrew finally let us return to our homes, judging it was safe enough for the moment. Sure we were happy to finally go home, but our goodbyes were pretty painful, since I guess that after a while, we have created a strong bound.

Flashback

I was the first one to get out of the van. Everyone followed me out, including Kit and Andrew. First person that hugged me goodbye was Tori.

-"This is really hard to admit for me, but I'm really going to miss you. Here's my email, you're one of the rare persons with who I want to keep in touch with.

-Thanks Tori, I shall miss you too, with your mood swings"

She hugged me once again, and I could see tears pooling in her eyes, and I felt them in my own eyes. Then she looked at me and she smiled as much as she could, and went back into the van. Next was Andrew and Kit, who gave me an awkward side hug, and after they left, it was only me, Simon and Derek. Simon came to me first, He pulled me in a big bear hug, and he whispered something like what he was really going to miss me. Then I felt him put something in my pocket.

-"My email. Write sometime, ok?"

I nodded as he left. Finally there was Derek. We stood there awkwardly, staring into each others eyes. Of all the things that could of happened during our escape and battle, I felt a stronger bound to this adolescent who was a werewolf. He had these piercing green eyes that every time I looked into them, I had this feeling in my stomach. Like there were hundred of butterflies. Then that's when he grunted and he pulled me into a hug .I was shocked, but I immediately returned the hug. We stood like that for a while, and he told me that he shared the same email as Simon and he left. I felt a sharp pang in my chest. I watched the van leave, and that's when I decided to go home, to see my dad.

End of flashback.

Yeah. I kept in touch with Simon and Tori, but I barely heard of Derek. Surely he had his own email by now, I mean I was 21 and him 22, but every time I'd try and ask Simon, I lost courage, resulting of my no-contact with this guy who I shared personal things with. Anyways, as I was saying, I was walking back home. I had gone to Rideau Center to buy presents, because I was leaving for Buffalo the next day. The streets were full of people, mostly Asian tourists, and it was hard to walk around. I could hear, even with my earphones on the loud chatter of the people around me. After ten minutes, I finally made it, unlocking the door to my home. I walked in and I was greeted by the warmth. It felt so good, considering it was nearly -20˚C. I out my keys on my table, and headed towards my room. On my desk, my laptop was open, and I decided to check my inbox. Two new messages. The first one was from Tori.

CHLOE.

IM ENGAGED! CHAD PROPOSED LAST NIGHT WHEN WE WENT TO THE RESTAURANT, AND I SO TOTALLY SAID YES.

I expect you to bring your little ass here in the USA from Canada cause I decided you were going to be my maid of honor.

YOU HAVE NO SAY IN THIS.

Anyways, I gotta jet. Work, ugh.

Love ya,

Tori.

Oh my GOD, Tori's ENGAGED?! I felt bad for the guy. Well, they have been together for the last 5 years, so I guess he was used to her. They had met right after we went home. I guess it was love at first sight. My second email was from Simon.

Hey Chloe!

What's up in Canada? I hope everything is well.

And I just wanted to tell you: FANNIE'S PREGNANT!!!

I'm going to be a dad! Isn't this awesome?!

And Fannie decided you were going to be the godmother. She really likes you, and she can't wait to see you again.

As for the godfather, well you guessed it, it's going to be Derek.

So take care, and I'll see you in a few days.

Simon. And Fannie and baby.

Wow, that was really unexpected. Simon will make a great dad. I just hope the baby will be normal because I don't want the Edison Group to track my nephew/niece down. I closed my laptop, and I went on my bed, to think. Everyone had a perfect life. Tori was getting married, Simon was married and was about to have a child. I couldn't help but feel jealous. I've never been in a relationship, so I was never close to be married or pregnant. It was ridiculous. Sure, I went to a few dates and all, but I never called by the guys because it just didn't feel right. Somewhere in my mind, even after 5 years, I told myself that they just weren't like Derek, of all people. And the sad part is that he probably had a life of his own. I sighed and I got up, and decided to pack my stuff. After two hours, I was done, and exhausted. It was only 9 PM, but I decided to sleep. My flight was at one the next day in the afternoon, but I had to be there at 11. I put on my stripped shorts and my batman t-shirt, and went to sleep.

That was a long flight. Even though it was only one hour, I had the wonderful chance to see the replay of a terrorist attack, and I got to see several people die over and over again. I then cursed myself to have forgotten my sleep mask in my luggage. But now I was in Buffalo, and I was glad to be finally home. Then I had the feeling that someone was watching me. I looked around, and I saw this big man, about my age, and he had the same eyes as Derek. Impossible, I thought. I decided to test the man. If I whisper softly, and he looks at me when I say his name, he'll hear me…

-"Derek", I whispered softly, so softly that the human ear could never.

The man's head shot up and he looked at me intently. I felt my heart racing, and I felt a little uneasy. He left his luggage and came towards me. I was frozen on spot, I still couldn't believe it was him. He whispered my name and I nodded. He smiled, yes he actually smiled, and took me in his arms, a bear hug. I felt the tears form in my blue eyes, and I put my arms around his neck. We stayed like that forever. Well, it was only a minute or two, but I never felt so good in my life. He put me down, and I was a little sad. He smiled again, and I couldn't help but smile back.

-"Long time no see, huh?" He said.

-"Yeah! I mean, I still remember when you were the guy who never smiled" I teased him.

-"Well you're still as tiny as I remember.

-And you're still a giant.

-Haha, thanks for helping my self esteem." He told me, scowling.

Now THAT was the Derek I knew.

-"The only reason why I'm smiling is because I haven't seen you in ages. I'm still like before" he says out of the blue.

I blush, of course and we start walking out of the airport. He told me he was just back from a business trip, and he asked me where I was from. I told him I was only visiting my dad, Simon and Tori for the Holidays. He frowned and asked me why I lived in Canada. I told my story and he nodded. Then he made the most stupid remark ever: Hey, you don't stutter anymore. I was pissed, but I guess it was my special "feature".

So as we got to the taxis, he gave me his cell number and he told me we should catch up some day. I told him that I'd call him soon enough. He smiled, and kissed me on the cheek, and left me there standing, blushing like a maniac.

Author's note, part 2: Well, I hope it wasn't too boring or long or cheesy or sucky. I know deep in my heart that it sucked, because I suck in writing but I like writing, so I won't stop my no-talent in writing stop me. HAHAHA. Anyways, if you have constructive critics, or flames, review this story, and I'll take everything in consideration, because when I will read your review, I WILL tell myself: HA! I KNEW this story SUCKED! Because consider this: I'm not English, I'm actually French. So my vocabulary isn't too… rich? And I know I suck at giving details and my grammar sucks and blah blah blah. SO I TAKE ANY TIPS YOU ARE WILLING TO SHARE WITH ME, IT IS REALLY APPRECIATED! :D

So cheers to you guys, and see you at the next chapter!

P/S: I know that the title of my fanfic if UNTITLED. I just have no idea. I guess it shall pop into my mind one day or the other.
