This was definitely inspired by the song 'Your Ex-Love Is Dead' By Stars. Its an amazing song, I would recommend it if your bored (:

I OWN NOTHING

--

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

Nora stood inside of the Wendy's, talking to her future husband, and her future step- children with her daughter Lizzie. She had her fake, overly-happy smile painted on, the one she wore when she was nervous, or trying to impress some one. Or just plain trying-to-keep-it-together.

Casey refused to go in. She stood at the end of the corner with her hands shoved into her warm pockets and her long, curly brown hair keeping her ears warm. She watched her breath make frost into the air, it was so cold. A quick memory of her childhood flashed into her head. Her and her friends would always pretend to be cool, grown-ups, and act like they were smoking a cigarettes, using a white crayon with the paper pulled off. And exhaling into the cold air, making it look like smoke. She looks back now and wants to hit herself up side the head. Smoking wasn't cool. At least not to her, not anymore.

She pushed a small piece of hair out of her eyes and blinked repeatedly, watching the lights on the cars pass by her. There was so much traffic tonight, but what else is new in this city?

It was 9:24 PM and the sky was dark, sprinkled with a few stars here and there, but not much. The city was giving off way too much light to see all of them tonight. Plus, the dark, rain clouds were filling in the sky.

She looked back down, and in front of her, she almost forgot what she was doing here. Her mother told her that if she wasnt going to come in, she had to meet George's oldest son when he got here.

'How am I supposed to know what he looks like?' She thought to herself, squinting her eyes and looking across all of the streets, and watching the passersby, hopping she would be able to notice him if he walked by. Even though she was pretty sure she had no clue what he looked like. There was a loud beep from someones car, startling Casey.

"Looking for me?" A young man asked from behind her, scaring her even more. But as her brain fell back into reality and her heart got back to normal speed, she realized he must be George's son. She slowly turned around and her jaw almost feel to the cold, dirty, concrete ground.

His famous smirk grew upon his face. You would think he was blushing, but his cheeks were cold from the freezing, Canadian, winter air that was blowing back and fourth. Casey on the other hand, was blushing. She wasn't expecting him.

Derek shook his head in disbelief. This had to fate, or some type of horrible prank that God was pulling on him. He couldn't believe that, out of all people in this ginormous earth, she was Nora's daughter.

One drunken, amazing and never-ending night kept playing like an old, annoying '50's how-to' video in their minds. It was strange, seeing each other again. And of all places, out side of a cheesy Wendy's fast food restaurant. On the coldest day of the year, in the middle of the loud and dirty city. He smiled and nodded his head. "I think we've met before." Seemed to be the only thing he was able to say.

Damn right they have met before.

At that second, as soon as he closed his mouth, there was a loud bang from the thunder, and it instantly started to pour. Casey's eyes grew bigger as she panicked and looked around. Derek let out a small laugh yelled over the loud sounds of the thunder, and rain smashing against the ground, "Just my luck!" He smiled, causing her to smile to.

"I'm not going in there!" She yelled over the sounds of mother nature as she pointed to the Wendy's building. "Same!" He yelled, he would do anything to avoid going in there and meeting Nora. Not that he had anything against her, it just wasn't something he found to be at the top of his 'to-do' list.

Casey pulled the hood of her coat up, over her head and flashed an apologetic smile at him as they both realized he had no hood. "What do we do!?" She yelled, watching the people on the sidewalks run and use their new papers to cover their heads. Casey made a light chuckle at the women who tried to run in their big, slutty high heeled boots. She looked down at her white, NIKE sneakers and smiled as she thought 'Who looks stupid, now?'

She was too caught up in her confidence and intelligence to realize Derek trying as hard as he could to get a taxi in the pouring rain. "Good luck!" She yelled, sending another smile that told him, 'Sorry, your on your own.'

She was officially stunned when she realized one had actually stopped for him. She laughed and ran over to the cab, her feet splashing into the water that laid in the cracks of the sidewalk. He held the door opened and casually awaited her to get in first. She slipped him a quick thank you and scooted to the other end of the car. She laughed even harder as she saw him come in, and sit next to her. His long, strawberry blond hair was yet and dripping onto his shoulders, and some onto the tan, leather seats in the back of the taxi. "Where are we going?" Derek asked her, looking completely clueless, he apparently didn't think about this yet. Casey just shrugged her shoulders and waited for him to tell the driver something.

He leaned up to him and whispered something that Casey couldn't quite make out, but she didn't really seem to care, she was too focused on taking off her soaking wet coat and fixing her hair with the reflection in the back seat window. Derek polpped back down next to her, causing drops of water to fly onto her after she had just wiped them all off. "Thanks" She whispered, rolling her eyes and smiling as she wiped her forehead.

"My mom is going to kill me." Casey said in between laughs as she leaned back in the seat. For a second, she almost jumped up as she thought about how dirty those seats had to be, and how many people sat in them today alone. But she was too tried to even move. Oh, and the fact that the person who took her virginity was sitting next to her might make the ride a little bit more uncomfortable. Or could it be the fact that they haven't talked since then?

Derek let his head fall agisnt the window and thought as hard as he could, digging into her brain so deep that he was hittings memories from months ago. 'What the hell is her name!!' He screamed to himself inside of his head.

They were both so drunk that night, they didn't stop to ask their names, and George had told Derek over and over, yet he just couldn't remember. 'Kelsey... Katie... Courtney...?' Is was driving him insane.

Derek had this thing, when he was deep in thought, he looked sad, as if his heart was just broken, or as if he just lost a long-lived pet. Casey noticed immediately.

The whole ride home was the most awkward thing Casey has even done.

She the taxi pulled outside of her house, Derek waved to her. "Will I see you again?" He asked, rolling down the window, and poking his head out.

"Probably considering the fact that I'll be your sister in a few days." She said, sending shivers down both of their backs. "Stepsister." He corrected her. She rolled her eyes and smiled, walked down the path and onto her porch. She watched as the cab pulled away, taking Derek, and taking memories with it. She plopped down on the front steps of her house and watched as the rain fell in front of her, and bounced off of her nose, it was so refreshing. There was so many thoughts running through her head that she just couldn't think about it tonight.

As she stood up, she noticed one thing that she needs to think about. The fact that she didn't have a key.
