I'll state the obvious here, this is probably going to be a little OOC, what fanfic isn't really?
I don't own LWD, this was just for fun.
So, is this where we're at now? Casey thought to herself as she looks at the boy who is lying in bed with her. How did we fall into this… pattern? Casey quietly gets out of the bed and starts to gather her clothes off the floor. How did this even start? Casey gets dressed in the bathroom and runs her fingers through her hair trying to work the knots out.
Oh, that's right- You slept with your stepbrother once and then you both claimed it was because you missed home. She laughs to herself quietly.
You see self, there's only one problem in your logic. And you might as well admit it now because you sure as hell can't say it out loud. -You love him- In fact, you have for quite some time you've just been too ashamed to admit it, even if only to yourself.
Casey shakes her head and splashes her face with cold water. She walks back to the bed to put her shoes on. Derek starts to stir in his sleep, she gets up and tip toes out of his dorm room.
She never tells Derek when she leaves after their evenings together, she cons herself into thinking if she just treats it as if it were a one night stand –One that never ends apparently- These feelings will go away. You would think after six months of this she would realize that these feelings were here to stay. But Casey only sees what she wants to see.
When Casey makes it out of Derek's dorm hall the sun has finally risen but the air still feels like ice on her skin. She glances at her watch, 7:30am. She has to meet Emily for coffee in half an hour, she has just enough time to get to her dorm and change.
Not having any classes today Casey puts on a simple pair of jeans and a brown sweater and throws her hair up in a messy bun not having time to shower.
I wonder if Derek is awake yet? He has a class in ten minutes. Casey lightly hits her head with the palm of her hand. Stop that. Derek is a big boy, he can take care of himself. He doesn't need you to make sure he gets places on time. You're not his girlfriend… What the hell am I then?
Casey doesn't have time to analyze things right now, she is about to open the door to the coffee shop on campus and Emily already has a seat open for her.
Emily looks her over and smirks at her. "You stayed at Derek's last night didn't you?" Emily always knows, Casey blushes, "How did you know?" Emily laughs "Are you kidding Casey? You've got 'I just had sex' written all over your face!" Casey's hand shoots up and pretends to scrub at words that aren't there. They both start laughing. "I must learn proper grooming in the mornings!" Casey says in mock embarrassment.
"So," Emily says almost sounding bored while slowly sipping her coffee. "So," Casey repeats in the same tone. "How was it?" Casey grabs a handful of napkins and throws them in Emily's face, she doesn't try to dodge them because she is too busy laughing her butt off.
Derek woke to the sound of the door opening and closing, he hated that Casey never told him she was leaving. He tried not to feel like he was being used, but when she would sneak out in the mornings that's exactly how he felt. So why did he keep coming back for more? For six months he told himself that this new relationship with Casey was purely physical, a way of having a piece of home with him when she was around. But the longer whatever this was went on the harder it was for Derek to push his feelings down.
But in the back of his mind he knew that he was ridiculously in love with Casey. From the first time they gotten into a heated argument he knew he was a goner.
She didn't put up with any of his crap and he was determined to get that girl to loosen up.
He looked at his clock and let out a low growl, he hated having morning classes. I mean seriously, 8am was a little too early for a history class right? He grabbed some clean clothes and headed to the shower.
Having only 15 minutes to get from his dorm to his class –across campus- he got dressed as fast as he could and sprinted to the history department and slipping in the door before the teachers aid could slam the door shut.
The two classes he had that day seemed to melt into one giant blur, the only thing that was in focus was Casey and the way her eyes would sparkle when he kissed her. How soft her skin was against his own and the way she would giggle when he kissed her nose before falling asleep.
Things had progressed so easily between them, it started with movie nights. They would argue for over an hour on what to watch that by the time they had settled on something both were too worked up to even pay attention to the movie.
Sometimes they would cook for each other, Casey's meals of course were far superior but Derek would never admit that.
After a few weeks of this Derek had stopped making plans on the weekends that didn't involve Casey, if he wasn't with her or Sam he was in class or occasionally playing hockey with the boys.
One night after Casey had made Derek dinner in his room they had fallen asleep on his bed while watching a movie. Casey had woken up first that morning and gently nudged Derek's shoulder to wake him up. "Hey, I'm going to take off. Thanks for letting me crash here." Derek was still mid-stretch so he didn't notice her leaning in to kiss him on the cheek, when he did see her moving toward him he turned to look at her and she ended up kissing him almost square on the mouth. She pulled her head away and blushed, keeping her eyes down she said "Bye," quietly and walked to the door.
Before she could open it Derek had grabbed her by the arm and spun her around. Casey gasped before Derek put his lips on hers and kissed her gently. He broke away a few seconds later, "Bye," he said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Casey couldn't do anything but stare into his eyes for a moment, she finally regained her composure and left his room.
Somehow Derek found himself back in his room staring at the TV without knowing how he got there. Thinking of Casey could always take away huge chunks of his day and he'd have no idea what happened in that time.
There was a knock on his door that brought Derek out of his stupor, he got up and went to his door and looked out the peep hole, it was Casey. Derek's heart started to quicken at the sight up her. He opened the door and leaned against the frame giving her his best smirk. She brushed passed him and sat on his bed. "Look Case," he said closing the door "if you want me twice in one day you need to at least call. I could of have had a girl in here," Casey turns to look at him, her face is pale and her eyes are red and puffy. "I would totally kick her out for you though." Casey puts her head in her hands and begins to sob. Derek instinctively takes a step away from her and bumping into his door. Her whole body is wracked with sobs, Derek walks over and sits on the bed with her. He puts his hand on her back and starts to rub it in circles. He has never tried to comfort someone when they cry, well unless you counted Marti, he did the back rub thing on her and it worked so he might as well try it with Casey.
"Case, what's wrong?" She cried harder and started rocking her body back and forth. "Casey, tell me what's wrong, you're scaring me." She still had her hands on her face, Derek pried her hands away and held her face in his hands. "Casey," he said looking into her eyes.
"I'm pregnant, Derek."
Alright, there's the first chapter. I'm really excited to write this next chapter and possibly get the rest of the family in on the next chapter as well. Please review and let me know what you think!
