I don't own Life With Derek.
1.I'm going home
Derek's point of view
We are all sitting at the dinner table. I'm not really hungry but I know I always eat a lot and if I didn't today they would know something's up. I can't believe what just happened on the phone just moments ago. Kendra had called."Hi Derek. We need to talk." She was talking barely above a whisper but I could hear she was nervous. Oh God she wants to get married! " I think we should break up." What did Kendra just break up with me! I mean I knew my last thought was kinda out there but I'm The Derek Venturi no one breaks up with me! Wait now she's crying. She broke up with me and now she's crying is she crazy?! "Look I thought that if I waited long enough you'd get over her or that I could deal with being the second to you but I can't" Who is she talking about? Casey and me have never… Wait no not Casey. She's my stepsister. Well its not like we're blood related… "You're thinking about her right now aren't you. You now you're not blood related so… so you should tell Casey before its to late." God as I looked across the table I couldn't help but think Casey really does look good in that green top! It makes her crystal blue eyes look even more perfect but there's something different. She's not like the other girls at school. She doesn't put on a lot of make up or wear tight cloths to look good but some how she always looks good no matter what she wears. It looks like she had been crying earlier.
" So Derek where's Kendra? She eats here more then Sam!" Edwin asked. Great now I have to tell them!
" Ah actually we broke up." With that I just kept eating.
" Derek why did you break up with her? Her birthday is like tomorrow!" She must have seen something cause then she went on and said " Wait or did she break up with the Great Derek Venturi?! I mean I always new that she would wake up one day and realize she was dating a caveman but…"
" Well at least I'm able to get a date. I mean since Sam dumped you, you haven't been able to get anybody." Derek smirked although he knew that the reason why nobody asked Casey out was because she was off limits to everybody. Derek always made it known that he didn't want anybody with her. The only reason why he let Sam was because it was expected that he would allow his best friend.
"Well at least Sam didn't dump me out of no where. I knew it was coming. I bet Kendra just met somebody else. Someone with an actual brain!"
" You know what Case? You have ruined everything for me! You don't even belong here! Look around! This is My house! Where you go to learn is My school! The people you see are My friends! And now you are ruining My life! I never wanted this and I definitely never wanted you! So why don't you just do me this one favor and leave!" Wow I don't know what came over me but the second I said that to her I felt this huge pain in my stomach. Her eyes look so hurt! All I want to do is hug her and say I'm sorry but I know I cant.
" Derek that's enough!" Wow my dad is really angry! I can't blame him I was just a total ass.
" No George, Derek's right." She was crying now and the pain just increased " This isn't my home or my school or my friends and it's definitely not my life! I can't do this is any more! I want to go home and live with my dad!" Wait..What! No she can't leave!
" Kids go to your room." I didn't want to leave but I knew I had to so we all went up the stairs and listened to what was going on from there.
" Casey, honey you need to calm down. Look if you just gave it another chance.."Nora look worried.
" Mom I have given it a chance! I've been trying for five months but this isn't fair! When you two got married you never asked me what I thought! You didn't even tell me I had to leave my whole life behind till after you got married! Mom I want my old life back! I was popular, I had the best friends in the world, I was so happy…" Now she was really crying and she couldn't stop shaking.
" But honey you just can't…"
"Mom me and Lizzie put up with all this so that you can be happy. Mom you deserve to be happy. But I…I deserve to be happy too. I tried. I really did but I don't belong here!"
Nora looked really upset and confused and then she finally said, " Casey I'm gonna miss you. But I can't keep doing this to you. Go pack up and I'll call your father." With that she hugged Casey and then Casey went upstairs. When she saw us she just started to cry again and went into her room. This couldn't be happening! She can't just leave!
