Disclaimer: I don´t own any of the characters Derek and Casey are from the lovely Miss Cp Coulter from her Fanfiction Dalton.
A few people started to leave the cemetery while other students stayed a bit longer, to pay their respects to their teacher and, others talked about what was going to happen to their school.
After Derek controlled himself, he stepped back from Casey, still holding his hand and with his head down staring at the grass. Casey squeezed his hand a little getting his attention and pulling him apart more from the others, she found a bench behind a tree and they set there.
Derek kept staring at their hands together to shamed to look at her in the face, he had cheated at her, broke her heart, made a scene at Dobry and still she was here comforting him.
"I'm sorry" it was everything he said.
"For what?" she asked.
"Because of what happened to us, because of what happened at school, because of what happened to Julian, Logan and the others" he said with tears in his eyes again not fully gone.
"What happened to us is in the past, Derek" she said putting a hand on his shoulder "and the incident wasn't your fault"
"Everything was my fault Casey, everything" he took the hand that he was still holding in both of his "if I had done something when Julian told me what was happening or when things started to get bad last Valentine's Day or today when Logan got drugged. I was so focused with parent's night; I should have helped my friends. And now Mr. Harvey is dead, Logan looks broken, they won't let us see Julian and he hasn't woken up and, if he does, his going to blame himself" he ran out of breath and was sobbing even harder now.
It hurt her to see Derek like this, broken, blaming himself and fearing for his friends. He looked so fragile, so different from the Derek Seigerson that she dated, the playboy from Stuart, the Casanova that always got the girl he wanted. He looked so different, maybe this was the Derek that she would had known if things had worked out better.
"I should have done a better job being their friend, I should have protected them better" he said. Casey was hugging him this time letting his tears run down her shoulder.
"You did everything you could and even more and when Julian wakes up you will be there to help him get better, I believe in you" she said releasing him and taking his face in her hands, kissing his forehead.
She took his hand and stood up pulling him with her "we need to get going, but if you need something, I'm here for you. Just call me" she smiled at him and they walked back to the others.
