Casey sat on her bed and stared at the old ratty case on the floor, the buckles that had once been a bright gold had lost there sheen and the leather tattered and falling off in pieces. Casey smiled and opened up the case pulling the object out by the neck like it was an old friend. It was a redish wood color with silver tuning pegs, a few nicks here and there added a some what mystical character to it. Sure to anybody else it looked like an old acoustic guitar but to Casey it was a prized possession.

Edwin was on his way to his room when he passed by Casey's door noticing the guitar in Casey's hand's he walked in.

"Wow where did you get that?"

Casey looked up just as Edwin sat down on the bed.

"Oh hey, my dad gave this to me for my twelfth birthday, it used to be his"

"Cool, can you play it?"

"Yeah I haven't played in such a long time though I almost forgot I had it"

"Play something"

Casey smiled at Edwin's eagerness to hear her play. She picked up the guitar and cradled it expertly picking at the strings as a melody bellowed from the instrument, creating an almost enchanting sound. Slowly the music filled the room calm and quiet at first then gaining in speed, Casey's fingers danced up and down the fret board moving perfectly creating a soft twanging sound.

"Wow your really good! How come I've never heard you play before?"

Casey put the guitar on her lap.

"When we moved here I kinda just forgot about it, so much was going on during that time"

"Well your really good you'll have to teach me some time" Edwin said while getting up and walking to his room.

"Sure Ed I'll teach you but I promise you I'm not that good but if you willing to let me teach you then of course I will"

"Cool thanks Case"

Edwin left Casey to sit with her guitar, she picked it up and started playing again this time a song that had been playing on the radio, one of her favourites. Hey there Delilah.

Plucking the strings Casey started to sing.

Hey there Delilah what's it like in NewYork city

I'm a thousand miles away but girl tonight you look so pretty

Yes you do times square can't shine as bright as you I swear it's true

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh

Casey was cut short but Derek barging in.

"Case stop your hurting my ears!"

Casey turned around.

"DE-REK! Why can't you just leave me in peace! And if you don't like my singing wear ear plugs or something"

Derek then noticed the guitar and totally changed the subject.

"What's that"

"A dog Derek….What does it look like it's a guitar"

"When did you learn how to play the guitar"

"Along time ago…now you hear that sound?"

Derek looked confused and started to listen looking around for the "sound"

"Uh what sound?"

"Oh you don't hear it here let me show you where it is"

Casey got up and walked Derek to her bed room door and left him just outside.

"Now listen carefully"

Casey slammed the door right in Derek's face the sound ringing in his ears.

Utterly embarrassed that he fell for such a dumb trick Derek opened the door to Casey's room again.

"Ugh Derek what is it that you don't understand I do not want you in my room I have to endure you during the day do I not deserve any peace?"

"Casey, Casey, Casey you have something that belongs to me?"

"What?"

"My Green day CD, my Nirvana CD and my Queen CD"

"Ok the Green day and Nirvana is yours" She threw them at him "But the Queen CD is mine now get out" Casey slammed the door again Derek opened it

"Oh the by the work on your singing and the guitar work your really sloppy" Derek ran out of the room dodging a pillow being thrown at the door.

Derek walked down the stairs laughing to him self.

"Ha I always win"

Teaser for chapter 2

"Ha ha Derek looks like you lose this round"

"Come on Sam I totally had you"

Casey walks in form the kitchen, with drinks for her and Emily

"Wow so how are the ladies doing with the wrestling match?"

Casey takes a seat beside Emily, Emily looks at her laughing.

"Derek is under the impression he won, but I think Sam did"

"He did not win!"

Casey Emily Derek and Sam were having a movie night but had got side tracked and were now watching the boys arm wrestle.

Phone starts ringing in the kitchen.

"Case can you grab that?"

"You grab it"

"I'm kinda in the middle of something here" Derek tries a little harder to get Sam's hand on the table.

"Ugh"

Casey gets up and walk by Derek nudging him with her foot this causes Derek to flinch allowing Sam to win….again.

"You did that on purpose"

Casey walks into the kitchen laughing, picking up the phone.

"Hello"

Casey scream's in the Kitchen!

Derek Emily and Sam all look up confused.

"Is Casey ok?"
