***Sorry I took so long to upload this. I wrote it a few days ago but I can't upload with my Ipad :( so I had to wait till I had time to use the laptop. Anyways so I hope it's ok…it's a little mushy with the sweet talk but I feel it's important and had to be included for the future of the story. So hope you like!***
"Wake up, wake up." Tori was hopping on my bed poking at me. She was giggling. Wow is Tori happy? "Chloe get up, your boyfriend brought a hot breakfast." "Okay okay I'm up!" "It's about time it's 11:00 am." I jumped out of bed. "What? We have to go. Why are we still here?" Tori was looking at me with a questioned look on her face. "Mr. Bae... I mean Kit..um this is weird. I'm so not calling him Dad. Well not yet. Anyways he said we need to go over the plan. And that staying put for one day is actually safer."
Derek walked in with breakfast. Tori got up to leave. "I'll give you two some privacy." She skipped away. I looked at Derek. "What has gotten in to her?" He shrugged his shoulders and sat down beside me. "Here, biscuits and gravy." "Thanks. And good morning to you." We sat there eating quietly.
He finally turned and grabbed my hand. "Chloe?" " Yy yes." A couple moments passed. He had his head down and shoulders slumped. "Derek I need you to..." He cut me off. "I know, I know. I need to say what's on my mind. I'm trying, so just bare with me." "Okay just don't hold back your thoughts or feelings because, well look where that's gotten us. A dozen arguments, awkward moments and a kiss that was long overdue." He straightened his posture and looked at me with a smirk on his face. "I'm sorry. I'm no good at this. These feelings, opening up it's all new. Besides Simon you're my only friend. The only person I aloud to get close to me. And now you're my first...well you know." I grabbed both his hands. "I do know because well besides the friend part this is new for me to. We need to be open and honest with each other no matter what." "I agree. But I need you to make a promise to me. No matter what happens or how hard things get I need you to promise to never make an irrational decision. If you get angry or we have an argument don't leave. Don't walk off somewhere. Talk to me or ask for some space." I squeezed his hand. " I promise! But you need to promise to. I think we both agree that our lives, all of us are at risk here and the two of us do not need to put each other through anymore worries or concerns." He ran his hand softly against my cheek then pulled me in for a kiss. "I promise to."
We both stood up and started cleaning up our breakfast mess. He bumped me lightly then said "I think they are waiting for us to go over the plan and have their talk." We both laughed. I love seeing him smile. I nudged him slightly in his side. "So um I guess this means I'm your girlfriend?" He shrugged his shoulders and jokingly said "I guess, um that'll be cool." I started pinching at his neck, which just turned into a tickling war. Simon came in. "I would say get a room but apparently that's the problem. Will you two get in here already were all waiting."
I quickly washed up before our big meeting. Giving myself a couple minutes to think about the promise Derek and I made to each other. I know he genuinely cares for me and wants me to be safe. I'm just confused on why he had to talk about it right now. Well time for the meeting. Me now being the one they were all waiting on. I walked into the other motel room. "Good morning everyone." I gave my Aunt Lauren a big hug and sat down in between her and Tori.
Mr. Bae began explaining the plan. "We all are in serious danger. We have a long and hard road ahead of us. Before we get started we need you kids to understand a few things first. I'm sure just from that past events you all understand your lives will be difficult and by no means normal. Lauren and I will do all we can to protect you and help you with your abilities. We will need your full cooperation. And as hard as it is after all you have been through we need your trust." We all looked at each other. Aunt Lauren began to speak. "We plan to stick together no matter what. If all goes well than that won't be a problem. We don't want this for any of you. But it's are only choice. And we do hope as some point to give you all somewhat of a normal teenage life. But sacrifice is crucial at this point." Derek handed Mr. Bae a map. "Ok." Mr. Bae said. "Now that that's said let's get you all caught up on the plan."
