This is my first Life With Derek story! But this pre-life with Derek. Hope you like it! :)
It was a cold wintery night in London, Ontario in Canada, the 14 ½ year old Derek Venturi was lying in his bed listening to his parent, George and Abby fighting downstairs. He was getting annoyed with all the fighting. They been fighting for weeks and Derek has to protect his 11 years old little brother Edwin and 4 years old baby sister Marti too, because they are scared, epically when their parents fight. Anyway, Derek turns to his side staring at the door, remembering the past when his parents got along. "Oh please make them stop!" Derek mutters, putting his head under his pillow. He even promised himself to never cried, epically in front of his brother and sister. He's too cool for crying, he thought. Just then he looked up to see his brother Edwin holding Marti's hand, walking in the room. "What are you guys doing up?" Derek asked grouchily.
"We couldn't sleep." Edwin replied.
"Because mommy and daddy are fighting again," Marty added.
Then Derek let out sigh and sat up on his bed, turning on his lights on.
"Come on." Derek ordered them as he sat Marti on his lap, and put his arm around Edwin, letting them cuddle up to him. "Shhh, it's gonna be ok guys."
"I wish they would stop fighting Smerek." Marti said looking up at her oldest brother.
Derek could see the innocent in her eyes. He had to be the big brother, like he always was. He may be cool, but he would do ANYTHING to protect his siblings.
"I wish they would too Smarti." Derek said kissing her head.
"When will that be?" Edwin asked his brother.
"Hopefully soon." Derek replied. "But just remember this, both mom and dad loves us very, very, very much and nothing can change that.
"I love you Smerek." Marti said, wrapping her small arms around Derek's belly.
"I love you too Smarti." Derek said kissing her head again. "Now get some sleep, both of you."
Then Edwin and Marti both closed their eyes, cuddling close to Derek as he held them in his arms.
"I love you guys." Derek said kissing both of their heads. "So much."
Then Derek closed his eyes, trying to sleep. But couldn't because he wanna make sure Edwin and Marti are safe.
More chapters are coming soon! So tell me what you think!? :)
