Lies,Cheaters,and Vacations

Casey McDonald had lived the perfect life, that is before her mom met George, and she had to leave her old home to move in with the nightmare on Elm street kids. George was a good man, and of course being the wonderful daughter that she was, Casey was happy that Nora had finally found someone perfect for her. Marti was a wonderful person to be around as well, she could light up any room with her cute little animal costumes. Edwin, Casey could get along with, he was someone that could relate to Lizzie and keep her younger sister company whenever she wasn't allowed. Derek, oh boy, Derek was the complete opposite of George, Marti, and Edwin. He was the most irresponsiable jerk she had ever met in her life. He always went out of his way, just to aggrivate Casey and cause her to start a wrestling match against him. He would make up the stupidest nicknames like Grade Grubber and Klutzila just so she would hate him even more. He ruined her entire life! Oh and she couldn't get over the fact that he had asked out Emily, her best friend, just because Casey didn't want him to hurt Emily. She hated him!

To the guys at his highschool, Derek Venturi was the man. Many guys would fall at his feet and hope that some of his popularity would rub off of him and onto them. Almost every single girl wanted to date Derek, and well, he had made out with almost every single girl at his school. He was no new kid when it came to trouble. Actually, he had his own chair in the principal's office. It didn't really matter what he did, somehow he would always end up in the office. Most of the time however, it was ethier pranks or refusing to preticipate in classroom work. At home, Derek couldn't get out of trouble ethier. He'd swim in the neighbor's pool without permission, annoy Casey so much to where it would get them physically fighting, sneak out of the house to go to parties, and teach Marti that cows say quack inside of moo. He didn't mind getting in trouble, after all, everyone expected him to. Marti was his youngest sister, and as far as he could remember, they always had a tight bond. She was his Smarti and he was her Smerek. Edwin was Derek's only brother. He had to admitt, he did use Edwin. Money, spying, talking to Casey to come up with a plan, the list went on. But when it came down to bussiness, Derek had his little brother's back. Lizzie was his step-sister. She was alot like him; into many sports and always wanting to win a trophy for something. Casey, god, Casey was the one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. Sure, it might have been wrong to think of Casey as beautiful, but she was. As much as he argued with Casey, he still couldn't image what his life would be without Casey. He had a love-hate relationship thing for Casey.

"Lizzie,"Casey cried as her younger sister held her hand tight,"Max, he cheated on me with Kendra. The blonde bimbo who Derek just broke up with. I thought she was my friend! It was because of her stupid party that I met Max."

"Case, did you tell Derek? He would kill Max and Kendra if he found out.", Lizzie stated.

"Derek doesn't care about me. He would probably say I knew you could never get a guy, didn't I tell you Case. I am not telling Derek.", Casey said as she clentched her jaw.

"Not telling me what?", said a male's voice.

Casey and Lizzie looked to the side to see Derek standing with his shoulder on Casey's door frame. Derek made his way over to Casey's bed and plopped himself right on the side of Casey.

"If I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't have said NOT telling Derek.", Casey said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Come on Case. Tell me.", Derek whinned.

"Why? So you can rub it in my face!", Casey shouted as she stood up, Derek stood up as well.

"Rub what in your face!", shouted Derek as he looked at Casey.

"THAT MAX CHEATED ON ME WITH KENDRA! Are you happy now Derek! Are you happy?", Casey shouted as she slide down to the floor as she began to sob uncontrollably. Derek was stunned as he saw Casey's shoulders shake heavily as every tear fell.

"He cheated on me.", Casey whispered as she looked at Derek.

Derek took a step foward as he looked at Casey's blue eyes, which were now puffy and red, she had the tear trails on her cheeks and her clothes were stained with tear drops. He couldn't deal with tears. He could deal with the anger, but not the sadness, no matter who it was.

"Case, please don't cry. You know I don't do good with tears. Please Case. Max is an idoit if he let you go. He is the one that should be crying. His cheating just cost him the one good thing in his life, you. You were that good thing. And if he wants to cheat on you, with Kendra, mind you, well then he doesn't deserve you. You deserve much better.", Derek smiled as he wrapped his arms around Casey.

"Thanks Derek. I knew that somewhere deep inside you we're a good guy Venturi.", Casey smiled.

"Oh and Case, two things.", Derek said.

"Yeah?", Casey asked.

"Tell anyone about this hug, and I will deny it. And two, don't get used to it. This is a first and a last.", chuckled the teeanger.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Venturi.", Casey laughed as she let go of Derek.

Derek let go of Casey and stood up. He dusted off his t-shirt and jeans before waving to Casey and Lizzie and walking out of the room. He was going to find the jerk who hurt Casey, and even more, the girl who he thought was smart enough not to mess with Casey. He'd kill the both of them. He jogged down the stairs and roughly grabbed the car keys before slamming the front door shut. He started the car and burned out, heading the two blocks in which Max lived.

Casey heard the tires squeal and quickly looked out to see Derek leaving. Frantically she put on a pair of running shoes and ran out of the house in her monkey shorts and pink cami. She wasn't going to let Derek do something for her, that could end up putting him in jail.

"Derek!", Casey called as she chased after the white sports car.

She ran quickly as Derek jumpped out of the car just as Max was going to greet him. Derek grabbed Max's shoulder and punched him straight in the face, leaving a trail of blood running from his nose. Max stepped back before throwing a punch and hitting Derek in the mouth. Casey ran and pushed her way in between the two boys.

"Look at you idoits! Stop it right now! Derek you idoit, you act all nice one minute and then the next I'm freaking chasing you down the road so you don't freaking kill Max!And Max you pig!You cheated on me with Kendra, and you go up to Derek and act as if nothing's wrong! You can both enjoy yourselves because I'm not going to be seen with two fools like you!", Casey shouted as she stormed off down the street.

"Casey wait!", both boys called.

"No!I need some fresh air!", Casey screamed.

Derek chased after Casey and grabbed her arm. Casey roughly broke free of Derek's grip as she walked up her home's steps and slammed the door in Derek's face before locking it.

"Casey, it's my house too you know. You have to let me in.", Derek sighed as he sat on the front steps.

"Whatever Derek.", Casey mocked as she went into the kitchen to see her family surrounding a map.

"Oh Casey! Perfect! You'll never guess the excellent news!", Nora smiled happily as she clapped her two hands together.

"What's the news mom?", Casey asked as she took a seat at the table.

"Well, George got a bonus check, and we discussed it, and we both agree that it's time for a family vacation! We've decided that we will take a one week trip to Italy!", Nora shouted happily.

"Seriously!", Casey grinned from ear to ear.

"Yes, and Case, if you see Derek, tell him we need to pack. Our plane leaves in seven hours, so we need to get busy.", George added.

"Okay George, I will. This is going to be a blast. I need to pack my Everything About Italy book, and oh of course my digital camera. ", Casey sung loudly as she unlocked the door for Derek.

"Got pack pig. We're leaving for a plane to Italy in seven hours.", she smiled bitterly as she ran up the stairs and into her room to pack.

Derek smirked as he watched Casey look at him one last time before walking into her room. A week with Casey. She seemed too happy. George and Nora probably didn't tell her that she was sharing a hotel room with him. He smiled and nodded to himself as he walked into his room and began to pack. This was deffiantly going to be one exciting vacation for The Derek.
