**Zoes POV**
I felt like I only got five minutes of sleep. I actually got at least nine hours of sleep, but I was still tired.
Our alarm clock read 10:12 AM. I groaned because it was still so early. I wasnt ready to face the world yet! Some sunlight shone through our curtains and it was hitting me right in the eye. I closed my eyes to see if it would help. It didnt.
I lifted the blankets up and tried to turn around. I realized if I would turn around, I would wake Derek up. He had both arms wrapped around my stomach and his face was buried in my neck. I turned my head towards him to see if he was still sleeping. Yup, he is. Since I couldnt move, because Derek was protectively holding me, I lifted the blankets up over my face. I rested my arm on top of one of Derek's arms and held his hand. A second later I felt him moving around. He stretched out a bit and turned the opposite way, so his back was to me now. I stood up on the bed and began to jump up and down. Derek groaned, got a pillow, and threw it at me. I continued to jump up and down on the bed, and laughed. He rolled over on his back and smiled. "Goodmorning," I said while I stepped over him. I had one foot on one side and one foot on the other. He smiled, "Morning beautiful." I smiled again and tucked a piece of loose hair behind my ear. I was wearing one of his shirts and it was big on me. I felt small. Derek grabbed my legs and pulled me down to him. I screamed as I fell on top of him. I was laying on his stomach; he held my waist.
"You're so beautiful." I bit my lip and kissed his nose, "Nah. I look like Frankenstein's bride in the morning."
"Then that must make me Frankenstein." He smirked and I got up and walked to the bathroom. "Werent you supposed to hang out with Ren today?" I called out. Derek came in the bathroom scratching his head. He said, "Yeah but not til noon. Werent you supposed to hang out with Amelia?" I nodded as I turned on the shower, "Actually I was supposed to be with Olivia today. I'll ask her if all three of us can hang together. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to shower." I pushed Derek out of the bathroom and took off my clothes to shower.
I let the water wash all of my worriers away.
After my shower, I got dressed into some jeans and a flannel. Next I put on my ox blood red Doc Martens. My hair was put up into a messy bun, and I added a scarf since it was windy outside.
"Derek?"
"Whats up buttercup?" He was in the kitchen eating some tapioca pudding. I made a face. "Ew. That stuff is nasty." He ate another big scoop of it and said, "I can't believe you dont like it! Its soooo good!" I shook my head and took the pudding from him and set it on the counter. "Lets go get some real food," I took his hand and led him out of our house.
"Pudding is food!"
We ended up eating at In-N-Out. For breakfast. Derek's idea, not mine. I have to say, it is pretty good.
I dipped one of my French fries in my strawberry milkshake and ate it. Derek took a bite out of his burger and said, "Okay, now thats nasty." I looked from my milkshake to him. "Are you flippin' serious? This stuff is so good! My dad is the one who told me how to eat them like that!"
Derek made a face when I said 'my dad'. I looked over at him, "What? Whats wrong?" He took a sip from his coca cola. "Your dad hates me." My expression softened. My dad does hate him. I left home so I could be with Derek. "Lets not talk about him." I held Dereks hand and he smiled. "I love you." I smiled back, "I love you too. Now lets get over to Rem and Amelia's!"

At twelve sharp, Derek and Zoe arrived at our apartment. We all said hello to one another and Derek and Ren took off to wherever they were going. Now it was only me and Zoe.
