I DONT OWN LIFE WITH DEREK
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin,
Promise each other it's till the end….
"Were finally here." Emily said, Dropping the last duffel bag on the hardwood floor.
"Who's gonna feed me?" Derek asked, folding his arms as he stood behind Emily.
She smiled and playfully hit his shoulder. "You can feed yourself… You're a big boy now." She said, as if she was talking to a 5 year old child. She plopped on to the black leather couch that Derek and Sam moved in, just minutes ago.
Sam, Sally, Emily, and Derek all made a pact that after a few years of college, they would all buy a house and move in together, in NYC. At first, Casey wanted nothing to do with it, but they had talked her into it… Although, Derek assured her he wouldn't be upset if he chose to not move in with them… In fact, he would actually prefer she didn't move in.
After four years in NYC, Casey had had enough. She told them that New Jersey was a much better place to live. It was quiet, and the people weren't shoulder-to-shoulder as you walked to work.
They took Casey's advice, and decided that it was New Jersey where they would like to spend the first few years of their adult lives.
They all got apartments in the area until they all had enough money to rent a house. It had to be small enough to afford, but big enough for them to share. They all got their jobs, and once they were ready, they agreed on a house to buy, and bought it.
Emily was now 21, and is working as a dental assistant and soon plans on going back to school to be a dentist.
Sam was 22, he went to college for 3 years on a hockey scholarship, and is now a coach for soccer, which he also loves, at a middle school.
Derek, 22, also went for two years on a hockey scholarship, and is now a hockey coach at a local high school. Although he says he wants to go back to school, nobody really believes him.
Sally was 21. She majored in business and finished her four years, and is now an assistant to a Major fashion designer.
Casey went to school for four years, was now a nurse at a local hospital, and absolutely loves it. She wanted to go back to school to be doctor, but she wasn't sure she had the time.
"Mom… Hi… Yea, were here… Yep, everything is fine. Derek and Sam are moving everything in now… Rain!?" Casey took the cell phone off of her ear and looked out of the screen door, and up into the sky. The giant black cloud sitting over the small white house made her feel like moving in was a huge mistake.
She had been begging for signs all day that this was a bad idea, and the black cloud she was staring at was just the sign she was looking for.
"Oh my God, this is horrible! We can't move the stuff in if its raining!" Casey cried into the phone, putting a hand over her forehead.
"Relax, princess," Derek said, pushing past her. "we probably still have enough time to move in the beds." He pushed the door open, and walked down the concrete steps sitting below the door.
He started to walk towards Sam and Sally, who were trying to load things out of the moving truck.
There was a loud 'Boom' from the thunder making both Casey and Emily jump. Soon after, it was pouring rain.
"Damnit!" Sam yelled, throwing a news paper over his head, and running into the house, pushing past Casey.
"I'm gonna have to call you back, Mom." She said angrily before flipping the phone shut.
"How are we supposed to get the beds in now!?" Casey said, throwing her hands in the air, then letting them fall to her sides as her lower lip started to pop out.
"We'll just do it later." Sally said, dropping her bags by everybody else's, and shaking the rain drops off of her new coat.
"It's 12 AM, how much later can we wait?" Emily asked from the couch.
They had been moving things back and fourth all day, they were all very tired, but too excited to sleep.
"I have a bunch of blankets in one of my bags… We'll just have to sleep on the floor tonight.
"I call couch!" Everybody yelled at the same time, and before they knew it, everybody was laying on top of each other, refusing to get up until one of them gets the couch.
"Okay, Look. I have no problem with sleeping on the floor. Its only for tonight." Sam said, getting off of the couch the best he could.
"Okay, but we do have a problem with it." Derek said, squished between Emily and Casey, with Sally laying on top of all of them.
"I'm thinking of a number… one to 10." Sam said, closing his eyes and putting his hands on his temples.
"5!" Derek called out.
"8!" Sally yelled, almost falling off.
"2!" Emily screamed, throwing up the hand that Derek wasn't sitting on.
"6!" Casey yelled, out of breath.
"Sally got it." Sam said, watching Sally's face light up, than watching Derek push her on to the floor.
"OW, DEREK!" She yelled, rubbing her left elbow.
"Oh, sorry." Derek said, obviously not meaning it.
The three got off the couch and looked at Sam, waiting for him to say something. As if he was the father of the house.
"Blankets are in the black and red bag." Sam said, pointing to the bags.
The four walked over, and dug through, each pulling out a few blankets and a pillow.
Once they made a giant bed on the floor, they all sat down, and the only light on in the house was the lamp sitting on the floor with no shade over it.
Sally laid on the couch, talking to Sam, and Emily, Derek, and Casey sat on the floor playing cards.
"I win!... Again." Derek yelled, scooping up all the cards.
"Okay… I'm bored." Casey said, plopping back on the blankets.
"Lets play strip poker." Derek said, raising an eyebrow.
"Lets not." Emily said, rolling her eyes.
"Damn Casey, why are you so skinny!?" Emily asked, obviously jealous.
"I'm fat." Casey said, poking at her stomach.
"Yea, right." Derek scuffed.
"Here, eat something!" Sally joked, throwing a bag of chips at her.
Everybody laughed as Casey opened the bag and popped a chip into her mouth.
"This is going to be amazing." Sally said through a smile.
"We've been waiting to do this since we were 17." Emily said.
"And it's finally here." Casey said, giving Emily a hug.
"Friends till the end?" Sam asked.
"Of course." Derek said.
"Pinky promise?" Sally asked like a child, sticking out her bottom lip.
Everybody stuck their pinky fingers out, and wrapped them around each other. "Till the end." They replied.
