Chapter 1:
Hate - Love - Loss
If hating Derek is what it takes, then hating Him is what I'll do. That's how Casey Felt that day...
Casey McDonald wasn't happy. She hadn't been happy since the day she moved into the Venturi house. Sure she loved her step sister Marti, and step brother Edwin, And George was like the father she never had. She Even loved her "STEP" brother Derek, but that was the problem, she loved him the way she knew she shouldn't. She herself couldn't quite understand why or how "Derek please give me the remote!" Casey protested. This had become a daily battle, it was their routine. It started with her watching her favorite show. Then Derek would come in and snatch the remote, and from that point, it was on. They would argue until finally Casey gave up and went to her room. "Why don't you come get it!" Derek said in a way that confused Casey. Wait is he flirting with ME? she thought. No Casey stop this, he hates you and your suppose to hate him! "God Derek why do you always have to be such a jerk." Casey replied. She turned towards the TV pretending to be interested in whatever was on. To her surprise Derek wasn't watching his usual show of choice, Baywatch re-runs. Since when does Derek like Supernatural "Jeez Casey why do you always have to do what's right huh?" Derek retorted, This pulled Casey out of the trance she appeared to be in. "Trust me Derek, sometimes I just Wish I didn't always do the right thing okay!" Casey said and ran upstairs. What was that suppose to mean? Derek thought. But he just dismissed it as Casey being a stupid over dramatic girl and went back to watching TV. Upstairs Casey sat at her computer playing sad songs about broken hearts and talking to some online friends. About an hour later she went to bed hoping she didn't dream of Derek. But dreaming of him would have been much better than what happened... "CASEY, Casey you have to wake up." Derek said shaking Casey. His voice was shaking. Her room was dark, and she couldn't make out Derek's face. Is he crying? She wondered. She sat up looking at him, but neither spoke. Finally Casey broke the silence. "Derek, what is it." And for the first time since Casey knew Derek, she saw him break. He let his guard down, he wasn't the strong mighty Derek she knew. He buried his head in her lap and cried for what seemed to be an eternity. "My dad... He... Casey he's... I cant..." Derek tried to explain but he just couldn't. Moments later Nora made her way into the darkened room and broke the news to her daughter. "Casey, George, he was in an accident... He didn't make it. I have to go." With that Nora left Derek in Casey there in the dark saddened and alone. Neither teen had ever felt so sad, angry, or depressed. And for the first time they actually needed each other.
she had fallen for someone like him, but she did. He was in her mind every moment of everyday and he had even began to haunt her dreams. It was driving her crazy.
1 year later
It was a late Saturday morning as Casey made her way into Derek's room, and he was still in bed sound asleep. "Derek Wake up." She said taking a seat at the foot of his bed. Derek's eyes rolled open. "Case its only one o'clock why must you wake me up so early!" he jokingly complained. "Lunch is ready, I figured you'd like to eat!" Casey said. "What's on the menu today?" Derek said sitting up and stretching. "Sandwiches my mom maid yours just the way..." She started but Derek cut her off.
"I got to show you something!" Derek said excitedly and motioned for her to sit next to him, so she did.
"Okay since your birthday is Friday, I the great and wonderful Derek managed to get "us" tickets to a concert for Saturday!" He said handing her a small pink envelope. "OH MY GOD DEREK" Casey squealed, "Who's playing?" she questioned. He rolled his eyes, Casey could be so oblivious. "Just look and see dumby!" he joked. It only took seconds for Casey to get the envelope opened. Inside was a card, it was a typical Derek card too. A goofy picture on the front, funny saying on the inside. Also on the inside were four tickets . "DEREK!!! How did you get Cartel Tickets? They were sold out last week when I tried to get them?!?" Casey rambled. When she was excited she rambled. "I got Connections! now can you just shut up already thank me?" Derek laughed and gave her one of his famous smirks. And because Casey is Casey, she embraced him in a tight hug.
"Okay, okay your welcome! Can you let me go? I... I can't... breath." He joked a little to dramatically. Casey loosened her grip a little, keeping her arms wrapped around his neck and looking him in the eyes. "Oh Derek, Trust me one of these days your going to like getting on of my breath taking hugs!" Casey Joked. Derek just stared blankly at her, if only you knew, if only you knew, he thought. Since his dads death Derek slowly fell in love with Casey, and the more time he spent with her the harder he fell. But He could never admit it to her. He was to scared she'd reject him, or think he was an insane freak who fell in love with his step sister.
"Oh I have to go call Emily, She has to go with us. And you call Sam okay?" She said a little to fast, giving Derek no time to reply. "Okay." she said and ran out the door to her room.
Derek pulled out his cell and called Sam, hoping he'd want to go to the concert.
"Dude cant you skip your sisters wedding?" Derek pleaded. Sam was giving him some excuse about how he had to go to his sisters wedding and how he couldn't go to the concert, and Derek didn't like it. If Sam didn't go that would leave him with Casey and Emily, and some other girl Casey was sure to invite in Sam's place.
Now he didn't mind going with Casey, but Emily was a whole other story. While Casey was busy worshiping the lead singer, He would have to deal with Emily's pathetic attempt at flirting. And that was not Derek's idea of a fun night. Not only that but He wasn't a Cartel fan, he was only going for Casey. But he'd much rather listen to their music then Emily ramble on about anything and everything that concerned Derek. She was sure to start telling the same old stories of how her dad didn't like how Derek was always swimming in their pool, or how his loud raging parties were a nuisance. Derek knew without a shadow of a doubt, Mr. Davis really didn't like him.
"Well man, I guess I'm just going to have to make a new best friend by next Saturday and take him with me instead." Derek joked, and all though Sam couldn't seem him, he could just tell Derek was smirking. "Come on D, Your best friend is already going to be there!" Sam replied, although it sounded like a joke, he was being honest. This confused Derek. And lets face it confusing Derek was pretty easy. Surely Sam's not talking about a band member, that would be impossible he thought.
"Dude, Emily is NOT my best friend, in fact she isn't even my..." Derek started to protest but Sam cut him off. "Bro I'm talking about Casey. You know that you two have hung out WAY more than we have this past year." Sam said. Since Derek had basically abandoned him he was feeling a little hurt, but he understood how and why they had gotten so close. "We only hang out so much cause we live in the same house. Awe is Sammy jealous?" Derek teased, hoping to make the conversation a little less... intense.
"You guys use to hate each other, but now its like she's the only person you even associate with. I get it though, Since your dad died you guys have been pretty inseparable. Its just a little weird not always having you around. D, you even quit hockey." Sam tried to explain how he felt, but it was sounding like he was just really jealous. Derek started to get upset. "I had to quit hockey. Do you know how hard it was to go to the games and not have my dad there cheering me on? Casey was the only person who even bothered trying to help me, unlike some people I know!" Derek practically yelled before hanging up.
He then made his way to Casey's room. Her door was open and she was sitting in the middle of her bed talking to Emily. Derek walked in and stretched out across her bed. Casey took one look at him and knew he wasn't okay. "Hey Em, I Got to go... I'll call you tomorrow... I cant wait either... bye!' Casey hung up the phone and turned her attention towards Derek. "Emily said to tell you hi!' Casey laughed. Emily was so obviously in love with him, and it was sad.
"What's wrong?" Casey said looking down to Derek. He looked like he had just been ran over by a semi! "Talk to Sam. He cant go Saturday. He said it shouldn't matter though, since my "new" best friend is going to be there." Derek said. He was speaking low, just above a whisper. "What? Who Emily?" Casey questioned, she was more shocked at what Sam said, than Derek was.
"Uh No, According to Sam, since my Dad died I forgot about the world and everything in it except you." Derek Explained. Neither of them could deny it, even if they wanted to. It was true, the day after Georges funeral they became inseparable. There for a while they were either locked up in Casey's or Derek's room, listening to sad songs, playing Babe Raider, and pigging out on junk food.
Derek was shocked at first to see how much his fathers death affected Casey. When he asked her why it upset her so much, this is how she replied. She led him down to the living room and she pulled out a family album she went through it counting the times her and George were in a photo together. "Derek I have only known your dad a year now, and there are 186 pictures of us in just this album. I have known my dad 16 1/2 years and only 4 picture of us exist. Your dad was like the closest thing to a dad I ever had and now he's gone too." She said choking up.
"God I'm going to KILL Sam. He's such an insensitive Jerk!" Casey said jumping up to grab the phone. "Casey don't, he's just feeling left out, and he has a right to feel that way. I mean we are leaving him out of everything. But now we have to find someone else for Saturday." Derek reminded her. Casey thought for a moment. "What about Sheldon?" Derek just burst into laughter. She's got to be kidding!! he thought.
"Sorry Case, but I think that it would be impossible to have fun with the shlepper at a concert." He said, pausing for a moment trying not to break into laughter again. "Not to mention I don't think Sheldon's the type of guy who listens to Cartel," He finished. "Yea your right, we got a week to find someone. I'm sure we figure out someone besides Sheldon. As long as its NOT Kendra." Casey personally hated Kendra and everything about her. "Duh! Plus we broke up remember? and I don't want to be the only guy going!" Derek replied. Casey Made a stunned face. Was she hearing him correctly?
"Wait! THE DEREK VENTURI - Senior class flirt, Serial Dater, Likes girls more than anything- Derek Venturi doesn't want to be the only guy in a group of girls. Wow pigs must be flying." Casey teased, Derek smirked.
"Yea weird eh? Lately I've just been taking a break, trying something new." Derek confessed. Well that wasn't the whole truth, matter of fact was since he had gotten so close to Casey, no girl could compare to her. He was just going to have to wait till the right time to tell her, and the right time was set to be her birthday or so he thought. He just hoped he wouldn't be faced with his worst fear, Casey rejecting him, hating him, and thinking he was insane.
"The Derek I know doesn't do breaks." Casey stated. She was shocked by his confession, could it be Derek was a changed guy? "No, The Derek You KNEW didn't do breaks. Admit it Case, Since my dad died apart of me died to, lucky for us it was the bad side of me." Derek said. They hadn't talked about Georges death in a while, but since the one year anniversary of his death had only passed days ago, the subject kept coming up. "Yea your right, but you know the bad side wasn't so bad. Well not all of it was. I'm just glad the jerk in you that was always so mean to me has disappeared." Casey said with a slight laugh at the end. Derek rolled his eyes, "Hey he can come back if you wont Klutzilla." He joked. Casey's eyes grew the size of saucers. " DER-ERK" Casey said, with a hint of anger in her voice. They were only joking and she new that. "I'm going to KILL YOU." She finished and began hitting him with a pillow. Once the pillow fight subsided things grew serious again.
"I miss him case." Derek said, his voice shaky. Casey hadn't heard him sound like that since the night he woke her up, the night of the accident. "Oh Derek I know you do. I miss him to. We all do" She said pulling him into a hug. Some how Casey had a way of comforting him without really even trying.
