Life With Derek

What Hurts The Most

By: Bethyann

I don't own anything except the plot. Hope you enjoy!

Watching Derek sleep made me think about him even more. When I first came to live with him, I thought he was totally hot! I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. But when I discovered that he was a player my heart shattered. If he was a player then he wouldn't want to be with me, which got my upset. So my mission began. I was to make him like me but without him knowing. That's why we fight, a lot.

Tomorrow was a school day so I had to put my clothes out pronto. I ran upstairs into my room and began putting my completed homework away into my bag. I then proceeded to put my clothes out. I took my light faded jeans out and placed it neatly on my chair. I needed the perfect shirt. So I began to think about which shirt looked best on me. The light blue shirt with the sequins on it! If I wear that, then I can wear my blue and black bracelet Emily gave me.

Once I was done getting organized for tomorrow I went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I went back into my room and stripped out of my clothes from today and put on my favorite pj's. The blue, purple and yellow stripped pants with the purple tank top.

Ugh...stupid alarms. Why do they have to be so loud? I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I was done scrubbing. I blow dried my hair and began the long process of curling my hair. Near the end I heard banging on the door which would only mean one thing, Derek!

"Open up Casey! You've been in there for hours!", Derek yelled.

I laughed and said, "Patience is a virtue!"

I heard Derek's sarcastic laugh and he said, "Haha, very funny. Now open up the damn door or I'll knock it down."

I sighed and finished up with my make-up. I opened the door and came face to face with Derek.

"Finally, it took you long enough", Derek said.

I gave him a smile and just walked away. I put my folded pjs on the bed and ran downstairs. I looked at the clock and saw I was late. I grabbed a bagel and ran. I saw Emily up ahead and jogged up to her.

"Hey Emily. How are you?" I asked.

"I'm okay", Emily said giving me a strange look.

"What's with the face, Em?" I said a little worried.

" You sound too perky. What happened to you? Your always like pissed off because of Derek. What gives?" asked Emily.

"I decided that I shouldn't care what Derek thinks about my. He can't run my life. I"m just going to ignore his infuriating comments."

"Whenever I say to ignore him, you always say and I quote, I just can't ignore him. I have to stand up for what I believe in, unquote. What happened to that?"Emily asked.

"I just decided to look in a different outlet. What's with the 20 questions?"

"Nothing! I'm sorry, I should just be happy like you." Emily said with a big smile on her face.

"Oh and by the way, I love your hair! You look absolutely fabulous", Emily said.

"Thanks, it took me forever." I said and smiled.

"Guys will be all over you", Emily said while smiling.

I gave her a smile and we walked into the school.

Authors Note: I hope you guys liked it. Read and Review please! I also like the criticism so I can improve and give what you want. I hope I can get another chapter in before I leave for camp this Saturday for a month. If not, sorry, I'll try and write more while I'm away.
