Hey guys this is my first Life with Derek story so please be nice but if you have comments with the story or any story I do with Life with Derek I will be happy to hear.

Disclamer: I own nothing!

Dereks P.o.v

When I came home from hockey practice I was totally wiped out from how many drills the coach made us do today. (Sorry if that's not right I know nothing about Hockey) So I was twice as angry and stubborn than I usually am.

"Edwin chips now" I said to my little brother.

"Coming Derek" He said and ran off to the kitchen. he came back with my chips and soda without being asked. Great he's learning. Then I noticed no one was home.

"Ed where are the folks"? I asked confused.

"Uh we all went to Lizzie soccer game and when they won she went with her friends to go get ice cream. Marti is with grandma for the weekend, Dad and Nora went out on there weekly date night again and won't be home for a while and Casey is upstairs but I don't know what happened she just came in and slammed the door, threw her coat on her floor and ran upstairs then turned up her music really loud. Its been like that for hours". He said to me while watching t.v. Huh I wonder what's wrong with Casey? Must have gotten a bad grade on her test again. I thought and ran upstairs to clearly hear her music out in the hall even with the door closed. I knocked on the door but she didn't hear me to say "Leave me alone"! so I just walked right in to be shocked on what I saw. I saw Casey in front of the mirror holding her stomach like it was in great agony and it has a gaint purple bruise in the front and around her torso. Then she looked up and saw my shocked face in the mirror and turned down the music, then turned to look at my face.

"Derek" She breathed out.

"Why do you have that bruise on your stomach? Who did this too you"? I asked in a very low mad tone.

"D-Derek n-no one did this to me o-ok". She stuttered out to me to let me know she was lying.

"Casey, who. did. this. to. you.". I said deathly low.

"Well after Lizzie's game I went out with Truman to get some pizza, but after it was over he told me he wanted to talk to me and I asked him what about. He told me that I have been cheating on you for months and we can't go out anymore because your to boring. So I got more mad than sad and slapped him calling out swear words and then he got enough of it and punched me three times in my stomach". She said while sobbing. I wanted to go and give Truman a piece of my mind but my features softened when I saw Casey cry. I just went up to hold her and told her everything is going to be ok. You see when other girls cry its annoying but when Casey cries its really sad. I really liked her over the years and now I think I love her. Look at me. The great Derek Venturi going soft for Casey McDonald. Well I can be soft when I want to be.

"Case its going to be ok alright". I said to her. She looked up to me with surprized eyes.

"Why are you being so nice? I thought you hated me"? She questioned while getting the tears out of her eyes.

"Well I can be nice when I want to be. Also I don't hate you, I um... Love you Casey". I finally said. Her Baby Blue Eyes widened in shock but then she smiled and pulled me into a long passionate kiss. Then as we came up for air we both had goofy smiles on our face.

"I love you too Derek. I have for a long time but I though you won't love me back so I went out with Truman so I could forget about you, but that didn't work". She said to me.

"Yeah so do you want to be my girlfriend, I know that when you said someone need to ask you first so that-" She interrupped me with a kiss.

"Of course Der". She said and we kissed again and I felt the fireworks I've been wanting in any relationship and I finally found them. But even though Casey's my girlfriend now doesn't mean I'm not going to be kicking Turman's butt tomorrow for hurting her. I'm still Derek but care for my family and my Girlfriend/Stepsister and will hurt anyone that hurts or gets in the way with them without going threw me first.

A/N: Not the best ending but I couldn't think of anything else. Thanks for reading. Please review. Tomboy22.
