Author's Note: Hey guys! I am off of school really soon, so I've had more time to write my new fanfic! I really hope the fans of my other hit fanfic: Meeting Drake & Josh, like this one twice as much! While I was writing that one, I came up with an idea for a Song Drabble fanfic. Hope you enjoy! So without further ado, here is "LWD Songs Drabbles: Memories"
(I do not own LWD or Fall Out Boy)
LWD Songs Drabbles: Memories
#1: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (By Fall Out Boy)
Derek Venturi, now 29, lay on his empty bed in his New York City apartment, taking a break from unpacking. He finally moved out of his parents' house, and instantly regretted it. Now he had to do all of this work himself?!
"Well I might as well get this done with." Derek sighed while stretching his arms in the air. He walked over to a medium-sized brown, cardboard box in the middle of the hallway. He cut open the blue duct tape with a pair of scissors. He then lifted up what was on top of all the rest of the "junk", as George called it. It was a metal tin, the size of a shoe box. Derek raised his eyebrows.
On it was a piece of tape marked "Memories" in purple Sharpie marker. He knew that handwriting; it was Casey's. He blushed at her name. Even after they broke up, Derek still had feelings for Casey. He gingerly opened the box. What was in it? It made Derek's hands shake slightly.
There were several pieces of papers, pictures, and gifts inside. He lifted out one of the very first pictures of him and Casey. It was the McDonald's/Venturi's first Christmas card, a month after "The Wedding". George and Nora were standing behind the living room couch, while Marti and Edwin were on the right side of the couch, next to Derek, and Lizzie on the left, next to Casey. Derek and Casey were in the middle; Casey wore a scowl on her face while Derek stared at the camera and gave off his infamous smirk.
"Good times." Derek joked to himself. He lifted out another picture, this one taken the day of Derek's and Casey's graduation. Derek had his arm around Casey's shoulders, while Casey was holding him tight, both laughing about something that Derek couldn't remember. He only remembered how pretty Casey looked that day, with her blue gown and her valedictorian sash around her shoulders, her blue cap placed gently on top of her silky brown hair. But that was before Casey went to Harvard Law and decided that they "needed a break from each other."
Where was Casey now? She was a successful lawyer on the other side of the country, who only came down for Christmas.
Derek then lifted out a necklace with a leather strap, and a silver letter at the end. His half said "C", while Casey's half said "D". He remembered that was his Christmas gift from Casey when they were 18, not even halfway through their relationship.
He then lifted out a card saying "Happy Birthday, Loved One!" He opened it up and read what Casey had written in red ink:
Dear Derek,
Wow! 18 already?! I can't believe it, we're almost to college! Anyways, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday!! I'll always love you, and I'll always be there for you! Have a great b-day!
Love,
Casey
Derek smiled. He took out his cell phone and dialed Casey's new number. He waited for 5 rings until the answering machine came on: "Hey, you've reached Casey, leave a message, and you'll be lucky if I call you back." Her voice sounded very rushed.
Derek took a deep breath, while a single tear slipped slowly down his cheek.
"Hey Casey, it's Derek. I just wanted to say…
Thanks for the memories."
