A/N: This is my first story. The song is I'd Lie by Taylor Swift. Feed back would be great.
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night I count the colors in his eyes
Casey climbed into the Prince. She sighed. She loved sitting in the passenger seat when he drove. Derek climbed in and started the car.
"What happened last night?" she asked remembering how Derek stomped into the house and stayed in his room the whole night. Casey felt something was off. After all he had everything he wanted.
"Oh nothing. Just got into a fight with Sam." He said a little off.
"Oh," Casey said sort of depressed. So he was still dating what's her name. "What about?" Derek and Sam didn't fight over nothing and it had to be serious considering Derek's reaction.
"Hmm." He asked not paying attention to Casey. "Oh just Kendra. He thinks that she's not good enough." He laughed a little. Casey let out a small smile.
"Hey Case, do me a favor?"
Casey turned to him. "Depends. What?"
"Don't fall in love." Derek chuckled.
Don't ever fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs
Too late thought Casey. Sighing she turned toward the window. Same old oblivious Derek. But Derek was thinking. God why did Sam have to ask if Casey loved me?
They arrived at the school a few minutes later. They parted going to their separate classes. Casey distracted herself from Derek by throwing herself into her school work. Third period her only class with Derek. The teacher was absent and left no work so everyone went off into their own groups. Casey sat by herself and was working on a paper due in two weeks. Emily rolled her eyes and went over to Casey.
"Case, There's a sub and no work. So WHY are you working?" pointed out Emily.
"Em, you know I have to focus." Casey answered annoyed Emily was distracting her from her work.
"No, we are playing a game and you are playing." Said Emily taking Casey's books and turning back to the circle. Groaning Casey joined them.
"Hey, Princess decided to join us." Teased Derek. Sam and Emily rolled their eyes.
"Hey Case," said Sam with a big smile. What the hell is that about? Casey narrowed her eyes.
"So guys let's play truth." Said Sam. Derek and Casey lifted their eyebrows simultaneously.
"Truth?" asked Casey.
"Yeah. Truth or Dare without the dare." Explained Sam. "So first Casey. What is…….Derek's favorite color?" Sam asked after looking around and seemingly randomly landing on Derek.
"Green." Answered Casey without thinking.
"Correct!" said Sam before turning to Emily. They played the game until the end of the period.
"Wow Casey, I didn't know you knew so much about Derek." Said Emily as they headed to their lockers.
"Well we do live in the same house." Replied Casey slightly blushing and busying herself with her locker.
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him..
I'd lie
Casey watched Derek saunter around the lunch room. How is it that he is so tuned into everything but her heart? Sighing she turned back to her lunch as Derek flirted with some girl.
"Case, what's up with you lately?" asked Sam. Looking up Casey blushed. He couldn't know about her secret wishes to be one of those girls Derek flirts with.
"Oh nothing. Just sort of spaced out." Casey covered smiling.
"There is a reason I call her Spacey." Said Derek sitting next to her. She scowled.
"Whatever." Secretly Casey's heart was racing at how close Derek was to her.
"Damn it!" swore Derek. Everybody looked up at him. "I forgot lunch." Casey handed him five bucks.
"Huh?" he asked her confused.
"You always forget your lunch on test days." She simply said.
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know that I've had it memorized for so long
Derek was waiting by the Prince. He sat there talking to some guys on the hockey team. A few girls crowded around them.
"Hey." Derek glanced at her. "Alright man, I'll see you later." He climbed into the car and drove home. Casey was staring out the window again. But she kept sneaking glances at Derek.
A tear slid down his cheek.
"Der…." Casey started but stopped when she saw the look he gave her.
"Kendra?" she asked staring straight ahead.
"Yeah." He gulped. "Look that never happened. Ok? I…..I don't cry." Casey smiled a little.
"What you were crying?" she pretended.
"Thanks Case." He whispered.
He sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
Casey bounded up to her room. They broke up!! But that still doesn't mean he likes me the same way. Ugh!!! Casey flopped to her bed.
"Yo, Klutzilla." Derek called barging into her room.
"What Derek?" Derek looked around.
"Wow! This is depressing. I thought I was the one who just broke up with someone." Derek joked then saw Casey's face.
"Whoa what's up?" He said sitting down next to her on the bed. "You've been stranger than usual lately."
"Just stuff." Casey told him. Actually it was you but you don't need to know that.
"Alright, but Sam and Emily and us are hanging out tonight." He said getting up and leaving her room.
I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
Casey stood there talking to Emily. Derek and Sam were hanging out with a bunch of their friends. Derek stood there and glanced up and spotted Casey. He gave her a small smile before following a blonde girl out the door.
Casey released a breath she didn't even know she was holding.
"So Casey." Started Sam. When did he get here?
"Casey, what is with you and Derek?" Sam asked staring out the door where Derek left.
"What do you mean?" Casey asked confused.
"Well Derek's still Derek but you." Sam shook his head. "You have been not fighting back every time he does or says something. And Case, we all know you don't give up."
He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you
Casey just stared at Sam. Was it obvious that she liked Derek?
"Maybe it's nothing but I just noticed a difference in your attitude towards him." Sam shrugged.
"I….uh…uh…" Sam nodded. Where's Emily? Looking around Casey spotted Emily flirting with some guy across the room. Ugh great help she'll be.
"Just a quick question." Casey looked back at Sam.
He'd never tell you, but he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle
Casey nodded. "Okay ask away." What she didn't know was Sam saw Derek walking up behind her.
"Do you love Derek?" Sam asked looking directly in Casey's eyes. He saw out of the corner of his eye Derek stop.
"I….he's my brother. I have to love him. Whether I like it or not." Muttered Casey.
"That's not what I meant and you know it." Sam said firmly annoyed at her for worming her way out of it.
"Then I don't know what you mean. Derek is my friend and step brother. Nothing more!" Casey lied. Sam knew she was lying but the hurt look on Derek's face stopped him from pushing it further.
Yes I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
If you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
