This story was actually written by my sister but she didn't want to post it because she's not really a Life With Derek person. She said "it will ruin my Stargate image". But for whatever reason she decided to write this.
Disclaimer: None of it's mine. Life With Derek is owned by someone who is not me. Take Me There by Rascal Flatts is owned by someone who is not me. And the story idea also owned by someone who is not me. Dang I don't own anything, all I can claim is posting it.
Happy reading.
Take Me There
"I can't believe I broke up with Max," Casey said for like the millionth time.
"So, why don't you go write another poem? This time why don't you try using 'meow,'" I suggested laughing.
She looked up at me and I stopped laughing. Every single insult, rude comment, etc. that I have thought of disappeared. I never really noticed how . . . . expressive her eyes are before.
There's a place in your heart
Where nobody's been
Take me there
In that instant I saw everything. Or at least that's what it felt like. I could tell that no matter how many boyfriends she'd had, she had never truly been in love. She had never let anyone into her heart.
Thins nobody knows
Not even your friends
Take me there
I'm pretty sure that what I saw no one knows, not even Emily. I always thought they told each other everything, but I guess there are some things Casey doesn't want anyone to know. But suddenly, I want to.
Tell me 'bout your mamma, your daddy, your hometown
Show me around
I wanna see it all
Don't leave anything out
I want her to tell me about her family. Sure I already know Nora and Lizzie, but I'm sure there are some things I don't know about them. I've only met her father briefly, so there should be lots for me to learn about him. I want to know about her hometown, in fact, I really wouldn't mind it is she showed me around sometime.
I wanna know everything about you
And I wanna go down every road you've been
I never took the time to really get to know her, but now, I want to know everything. I want go everywhere she has. I want to see everything she's seen.
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there
I want to know what she hopes and wishes for. I want to know what she dreams about. I want to know what she wants for the rest of her life to be like. I want to know the person behind that pretty stare.
Your first real kiss
Your first true love
You were scared
I want to know about her first kiss. I want to know about the first time she thought she was in love. I want to know if she was scared for either or for both.
Show me where
You learned about life
Spent your summer nights
Without a care
Take me there
I want to know where she was and how old she was when she learned about life. I want to know where and how she spent her summer nights. Better yet, I want her to take me there.
I wanna roll down mainstreet and backroads
Like you did when you were a kid
What makes you who you are
Tell me what your story is
I want to go down the streets she did when she was a kid. I want to know what makes her, well, her. I want to know her story.
I wanna know everything about you
And I wanna go down every road you've been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there
I want to know everything she's keeping locked away. I don't want to know just so I can make fun of her. No, I care about her too much. I realize that now. So, as she stares at me, I say the only thing I can think of.
"Take me there."
