Chloe's POV

I walked into Derek and I's apartment expecting to see my boyfriend of 4 years waiting in the living room for me to get home stressed that I came home two hours late. That's always what he did in the first three years of us dating he got stressed every time I was over fifteen minutes late I guessed it had something to do with the Edison Group. But for the last year Derek was never there to greet me at the door or even stressed he was to busy with his science experiment he was in that room from 5 am to 12 am if he could when I went to bed he was down there and when I woke up he was there again. Sighing I made my way to the room we'd set aside for it I knew this was important to him and I agreed to let him test it on me over and over. Ok so he wasn't testing on me he was just drawing my blood and filtering it through different tests. He was hoping he could make a test that could tell us that something in a supernatural's blood would show that they were different. Simon's blood wouldn't work because he was diabetic and Tori refused and since Lauren and Kit were off in Europe together I had agreed,

"Derek!" I called as I ran up the hallway we lived in a small condo until we had enough money to buy our own house. We had four bedrooms one was my office and another was for his experiment added to that was a guest bedroom Derek and I's room a kitchen and a small living room full with our own flat screen T.V. Running up the stairs I passed all the pictures of Derek and I through the years. Here and there were pictures of the whole group in the different cities we went to,

"Chloe," he called back and the door to his science room opened he glanced me up and down and growled, "where have you been?" He asked looking at the clock in the hall across from the door,

"They made me stay late at work," Derek rolled his eyes and started herding me into his experiment room. I sighed and walked in waiting for him to sit me down and go get a needle to extract more of my blood when I just boiled over the tea cup in my brain and stood up holding my hand up to stop him from taking more of my blood, "No." I told him and he flinched away from me,

"No?" He asked his voice stern, "no what Chloe?"

"No more I'm tired of this!" I snapped, "I get home to you being in this damn room and what greeting do I get! None I'm fed up with you always taking my blood and staying in here all day! I've been with you for four years I thought eventually you'd stop but this is all you've done all year and I'm tired of it!" His eyes were wide with disbelief before they turned to pure anger,

"This is my life!" he growled at me and I nodded,

"Yes it's your life and if you want it to be count me out." I replied my voice stern not hesitating, "I'm tired of being an experiment you know what we went through when we were younger!"

"I'm so close Chloe!" I sighed and shook my head,

"Derek-"

"So close," his fingers were held a few centimeters apart and I glared,

"You're always saying this!" I yelled, "and I'm done!"

"If you leave I'll have to start it all over!" he snapped and I shrugged he took a step forward and I stayed where I was as he continued. This was Derek the guy who'd loved me for four years yes for the past year we'd barely seen each other unless he was taking more blood from me. We hadn't gone on a date or done anything intimate for a long time so I wasn't scared when his eyes glazed over in hatred for Derek could never hate me, "I thought you cared about me." I was shocked,

"I do-" I started when he growled,

"No you don't," I almost missed his arms flick up before was crashing through glass and into the wall Derek's eyes were wide and he stared at me I tried to stand using the wall to help me leaving a bloody hand print in my wake I limped quickly out of the room Derek didn't follow me as I went to our room taking my cell out of my back pocket it wasn't damaged by the crash and I speed dialed Tori,

"Hey Chloe," her voice was cheery and that just made what happened some what worse,

"Come pick me up," I told her and Tori laughed,

"Lost your car keys again," she teased, "oh Derek is so going to kick your ass he really loves that car."

"From home Tori can I stay at your place?"

"Why?" She asked concerned now,

"I'll explain later p-please." Tori started to ask questions and I hung up on her exiting the bathroom and entering the bedroom throwing all my stuff into a duffel bag. I expected Derek to come in and beg me to stay to tell me he would ditch the project but he never did. I started down the hallway carefully and I peered in his science room to see Derek wasn't there anymore I found a note down on the kitchen table,

Dear Chloe,

I'll be staying at Simon's tonight I'll be back at 4 tomorrow to talk with you about this. We'll find a way to figure this out and forget about it soon. I'm sorry for getting so worked up about this see you tomorrow Chloe.

Derek

No Love Derek or I love you no Dear Love there was nothing saying he still loved me. Sighing I headed out the door to find Tori sitting waiting for me waving me over I hopped into Tori's car. With one look at me her eyes widened and she sped down the road on our way to the hospital.

Derek's POV

I walked up to Simon's house and knocked on the door his girlfriend Roxy answered. Roxy smiled up at me and called out to Simon who ran to the door,

"Hey man what's up?"

"I need a place to stay." I told him and Simon paled,

"What happened?"

"Chloe bailed on the experiment." I told him quickly trying to hold in my anger and Simon sighed,

"I knew one day she would dude we barely see you at all now even Chloe told us that." I sighed and he gestured for me to come in telling me to follow him up the stairs to there guest room, "You're going to have to choose Derek."

"She'll forget it." Simon shook his head,

"She's been talking about this for awhile now Derek." I sighed why hadn't I heard about this? I wasn't worried though she'd be there tomorrow she'd never leave me,

"Your going to have to choose her or the project Derek and if you don't choose her you'll lose her forever." I sighed and sat down on the bed Simon shut the door then and I closed my eyes laying back on the bed I grabbed a near by pillow and let the tears out then. I missed Chloe already I liked how every night after working hard on my project I could go to my room and see my beautiful girlfriend. The girl I planned to spend the rest of my life with she'd be sleeping and I could just slip in behind her curl myself around her breath in her scent and everything else in the world would disappear and all that mattered was her. I'd think about how I missed spending time with her going on dates like we used to tickling and kissing the breath away from her how I missed the feel of her lips that I hadn't kissed in what felt like forever and I would promise myself that soon I would find the answer and we could be like before. I remembered the first night I'd found her with tear tracks on her face and I woke her up to ask about them and she looked at the clock before getting out of bed not answering my question I found her the next day in our guest room crying and she'd slammed the door in my face and continued crying. I'd messed up, I'd messed up badly and I wanted her to forgive me. I brought the pillow closer and whispered her name wishing that I'd brought something of hers with me I thought of the house I'd bought for the two of us just down the street from Simon's.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

"Derek what happened?" Simon was asking and I shrugged,

"She said something I snapped and yelled at her and she left the room." Simon nodded and handed me my car keys the ones he'd stolen to get information from me and I hadn't lied that was all I could remember there was like a block in my brain preventing me from remembering. I drove to Chloe and I's apartment it was 3:32 when I got there and I opened the door,

"Chloe!" I called and I got no answer my heart rate kicked up and I ran down the hallway to our bedroom opening the door to find her closet and dresser drawers ripped open and all her stuff gone I turned and started back to the front door I noticed that all the pictures of us in the hallway were gone and my breath hitched. They were all gone her office was completely empty giving me proof that my Chloe was indeed gone. I stumbled to the kitchen my eyes landing on the table where there was a note sitting there for me,

Dear Derek,

We can't fix this clearly your 'little' project is more important than your loving girlfriend I'm sorry to see this happen to us. Even a little girl dreams of her happily ever after and I'd thought I'd found mine guess I was wrong. I was wrong about you and about us. I promise that you will only see me when it is necessary and I will avoid you even then. I've taken the pictures with me seeing as I was the only one who was ever in this relationship to start with. I was the only one giving love even when I got none in return.

Goodbye Derek.

Chloe

My breath left me and I picked up the cut picture. It was a sequence of pictures my favorite one of Chloe and I. The first was of Chloe running at me my arms wide, the next was of me picking her up and her squealing like the young teenagers we were. The third was of me spinning her I remember to this day the way her blue eyes sparkled so close to the ocean reflecting the blue in her eyes and the fourth picture was of me kissing her. But now the picture were empty the first Chloe had cut herself out of and it was of me with my arms open at no one. The second was of me looking up at no one my arms empty and on and on even the last one where I was kissing air. I let tears fall from my eyes knowing that my arms may have been empty in the pictures but right now my heart was. I stood up and walked to my room note and picture in hand I fell on the bed curling around Chloe's pillow where her scent still lingered.
