Ok this is my first attempt on a Fanfic, so on easy on me!
Two doors slammed on that fateful Friday night. "Der-ek! Quit budding into my life and let me be!" Casey yelled as she slammed the door and went to her bed.
"Quit being such a drama queen and get over the fact that Max broke up with you!" Derek shouted from the hallway. He had a secret about the breakup but didn't want to tell Casey. Derek just turned and slammed his door too.
I'm so fed up with Derek, thought Casey
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I cant keep my eyes off of you
"DER-" she stopped and listened to the song. It was "You and Me" by Lifehouse, one of her favorite songs. How could Derek know that? He didn't, it was actually one of his favorite songs, but he would never admit that. Casey got up and walked to Derek's door. She stood there just listening. She wanted to knock, but she knew if she did, he would change the song. So she just opened the door quietly and peeked in. There was Derek on his bed, wait was he crying? She walked in and asked, "Derek, are you ok?"
He quickly got up and wiped the tears. "Yeah, I'm fine. And who said you could just barge into my room without knocking?" He was visibly upset, but he kept denying it. Casey just stood there staring at him. She was shocked that Derek, DEREK, was crying. "If you aren't gonna say anything, then leave." Derek told her sharply.
"Um ok. But I know there is something wrong, and you are going to tell me." She said as she was walking out.
When I take a look at all the tears you cry
I'm sorry, sorry
See the pain that hides behind your eyes
I'm sorry, sorry
See the sadness behind your disguise
I'm sorry, sorry
Hold on to it and I think you'll find
That I'm sorry, sorry now

As soon as Casey closed the door, Derek started to cry again. He felt so guilty about what he did. He broke Max and Casey up. Max had been so fed up with Derek and all his pranks that he was willing to negotiate. Derek took this as an opportunity to get Casey for himself. So he told Max to break up with Casey. (Their relationship was going down anyway.)

Meanwhile, Casey was sitting on her bed just thinking of the Derek she saw on the bed. She had NEVER seen him cry before, and she liked it. Not in a mean way, but in an attractive way. Seeing Derek so vulnerable and sensitive made her like him, like REALLY like him. But she knew this couldn't be, could it?
No Casey, she thought, even if I did like him, he hated my guts and it just couldn't happen. But I want him, I want to be with him. maybe I'll go talk to him again and see how I feel. Yes, that's what I'll do.
Come here and cry on my shoulder
I'll hold you til it's over I'll rescue you tonight
Let my arms be your shelter
Your hiding place forever
I'll love you more than life

Casey walked to Derek's door again and suddenly she felt nervous. She ran back to her room and sat on her bed, amazed by her feelings
--
I need to tell her, thought Derek, this is complete torture. If I don't say something I will go crazy! Ok, I'll tell her and I'll tell her how I feel about her.
Derek got up and walked to her door, but all of a sudden his knees got weak and he felt sick. He rushed back to his room and thought about what just happened.
I know how I feel now, they both thought.
Even when the sun forgets to shine
I'll be there to hold you through the night
We'll be running so fast we can fly, tonight
And even when we're miles and miles apart
You're still holding onto my heart
I promise it will never be dark
I know we're inseparable
