Chapter 1:
Casey and Sam broke up a couple days ago. She thought that it was because they weren't working out but she knew that there was more to that. She just didn't want to admit it.
For the last couple of months, Casey and Derek got pretty close. They didn't fight as much and they actually hung out together sometimes. Over those couple of months, Derek and Casey began to develop feelings that they never knew they can have.
"Casey, Can I talk to you," asked Derek as he came through the door? He heard that she and Sam just broke up and maybe this could be there chance of finally being a couple.
"Knock much," she was beginning to get annoyed with the fact that Derek came into her room without the slightness thought of actually knocking. "What are you doing…?" Casey wasn't able to finish her thought because Derek had kissed her. She couldn't believe how good it felt. She wanted to be with Derek for so long but deep down she knew that this was wrong and that they should stop so she pushed Derek away. "I'm sorry Derek, we can't do this!"
"Why not," he said taken aback, "You know you want this as much as I do so I don't see the problem. So what if we are step-siblings, the only thing that really matters is how we feel about each other."
"Wow, when did you come to be such the romantic," she said. She could tell that she had really hurt him by resisting. She was surprised that she could actually hurt the famous Derek. "I'm sorry Derek, I really really am but we can't do this, especially now that Sam and I have broken up."
"There is a lot you don't know about me but we can do this. We both have feelings for each other and you know it. I'm just confused on why we have to wait."
"God Derek, haven't I already told you why about a million times," Casey tried to tell him. She was getting annoyed that Derek wouldn't listen to her and she had to explain the same thing over and over again.
"Fine, you win. We'll wait. I hope you are happy," he finally said, "I don't usually do this but you matter so much to me and I really really don't want to lose you. I love you Casey, I hope you know that." He left without waiting for her response. The second he left she said a quiet 'I love you too.' She just wished she was able to tell him that before he took off.
