Heartbreak can hit you faster then you know
Casey and Derek had been dating for the past 8 months. They had hit a rough patch they started fighting for the past week and a half.All the fights had to deal with their ex's Sam, Casey's and Kendrea,Derek's of course.Derek had left late one night after having the biggest fight they have had yet.He got into a terrible hit and run.Little did Casey know, she was starting to feel horrible about the fight.The phone rang once then twice then she picked the phone up "Hello this is the venturi/McDonald Residence this Casey McDonald Speaking." The voice on the other end obvisouly male said to her that derek had been involved in a accident and asked to speak to their parents.As Casey tried to speak the tears formed and her voiced cracked as she said hold on I'll go get them.She put the phone down and went to her mom and George's room downstairs when she got there she was still crying. Nora heard her daughter and sat up in bed nudging George to get up."Casey whats wrong sweetie?" Nora said with a sound of worry in her voice she couldn't remember the last time she saw her daughter so upset.After a few minutes George sat up and asked "Whats wrong?" looking at his wife and stepdaughter. Casey wiped her tears away and said "it-it's Der-Derek there is a officer on the phone upstairs he needs to talk to you." George and Nora got up out of bed and followed Casey upstairs. Casey had put the phone on speakerphone and told the officer that her parents were there. He proceeded to explain the accident to them all, sitting on the couch they held their mouths in disbelief. While the officer was talking to her parents Casey looked up at the ceiling asking"Why Me? Why did we fight? Why did I let him leave?" When she had these thoughts and questions all see could think about was Him, his smile, his laugh, his everything. She could just picture him all alone in the hosptial how he looked she just wanted this nightmare to end she wished she could take it all back.She was feeling so sick to her stomach after all these thoughts she told her mother she was feeling sick and needed to try and get some sleep. She kissed her mom goodnight and told George goodnight even though it was far from a goodnight.When she reached the top of the stairs she stopped right at Derek's room she had a wonderful flashback There she was in front of him and he was smiling at her everything felt so right. Bam she was back to reality she burst into tears again her night couldn't get any worst. She felt so bad she ended up crying herself to sleep something she rarely does.Nora and George went back to bed soon after it was a restless sleep for all three of them though all Casey dreamt about was seeing Derek again and giving him the biggest hug she could.At 5:00 am Casey Woke up she remembered what Derek always told her that she rises with the hens She took a slight smile when she thought of that.She went into the bathroom and took a hot shower ,got dressed and then went for a little walk to the park.All she could think about still was Derek the whole way to the park. She sat at the park for a good hour just watching other runners go by she thought she should be heading back and try to eat something. When she got home the rest of the family was up she saw Lizzie, Edwin and Marti sitting on the couch staring up in space. Their faces so surreal looking. "What's wrong, is everything ok?" She asked with worry in her voice. Nora went over to her daughter hugged her as she cried and said "Derek...is...gone...case." Casey let go of her mothers warm comforting body. "He... can't...H-h-how? Wh-whe-When?"She could feel her tears forming and her voice beggining to crack she hit the floor and instantly began sobbing quietly. Lizzie then proceeded towards her sister and sat down on the floor beside her "Case, Im so sorry I know its going to be hard so if you need someone I'm always here" Casey didn't reply she couldn't she had no words to say.For the rest of the day the entire family walked around like they had a giant gray cloud looming over their heads and they kind of did.Nora and George had set the funeral for Monday at 2 pm at the local church. They then got around to informing everyone by phone and the newspaper.The article read "Derek Venturi [15 will be put to rest Monday June 20th at 2pm at Saint Marys Church after being killed in a hit and run Thursday at 3am everyone that loved and cared for Mr. Venturi is welcomed to attend and pay their respects to the family.
