Ello everyone!:) This is my first try at something besides Zutara, so just bare with me. I have read a lot of Dasey fanfics and I decided that I wanted to make one myself! This plot has been done to death, but I have a couple of my engenius ideas that I am going to toss into this story:) I hope you enjoy the first chapter:))

Disclaimer: Sure I own it... in my dreams!:)

Derek is the one person who can get under my skin, and he is the guy that I love. We have lived under the house for the past two years and now it is time for both of us to move out. He decided to go to a college north of the house while I am going to a college south of our home. He doesn't know that I love him and I plan on him never finding out.

My mom was helping me pack my stuff so we could put it in the back of Derek's truck. He was going to drive me to my new apartment while my mom and George would be following after they picked up the other kids from school. I have to sit in the truck with Derek for almost two hours, and it's going to be a long trip.

After we got everything piled in the back of the truck I hugged my mom and George telling them I would see them in a few hours. I hopped up in the passenger side and buckled while George was telling Derek to drive carefully and to be safe. After the speech was over Derek got in and started the engine. The air-conditioner blew his sent around me and I melted in my seat. The smell of cinnamon and vanilla enveloped me and I sighed silently soaking it all in.

"Where do you want to eat?" He asked looking at the restaurant signs ahead of us.

"I don't care, where ever you want to eat" I replied.

He chose a small diner right as it started to rain. The rain was coming down in bucket fulls as we walked in. A waitress around our age with curly red hair walked up to us.

"Hello my name is Luna" she said in a chipper voice. "You guys are the cutest couple I've seen!"

Before I could correct her Derek was. "We're not a couple. She's my step-sister."

I knew we weren't a couple, but every time he had to correct somebody on the subject my heart broke a little more.

"Oh," she said, "well I'm sorry." She pointed to a table and said, "You can go sit at that table and I will be there in a second." She winked at Derek and turned away.

Derek smiled and stared walking to the table. My blood boiled. We sat down across from each other and looked at the menus.

"What can I get you to drink?" Luna asked when she walked over to our table.

"I want a coke" Derek replied rudely.

"I'll just have tea." I said not looking at her.

"Ok, one coke and one tea coming up." She walked off into the kitchen and came back with our drinks. She placed small napkins on the table to set our drinks on. There was something small written in the corner of Derek's napkin. She smiled as she left and Derek looked down at his napkin. I took it out of his hands and it read Luna Hooks 324-5463.

My jaw dropped and he snatched the napkin out of my hand.

"Are you really going to call her?" I asked.

"I dunno." He said looking back down at the menu.

We ordered our food and Luna brought it out to us. We didn't talk, we just ate.

"I hope mom and George aren't trying to drive through this" I said looking out into the rain.

"Dad would never try to drive in this with everyone in the car. I'm sure they stopped somewhere to eat too." He replied before stuffing his mouth with another bite of mashed potatoes.

The waitress came with our check, and we paid. The rain was still really bad outside so we decided to sit in the diner until it stopped.

"So, when do you start school?" he asked trying to fill the annoying silence.

"August 27th" I replied.

"Only a week? Wow, I don't start till September 10th."

"Then why are you moving up there so early?" I asked the question blurting out of me.

"Hockey practice."

"Oh" I replied.

The silence ensued after that. Luna came around ever few minutes to ask us if we needed anything and would flirt with Derek. This little floosey waitress was pushing me to my limit. Sure she didn't know I was in love with Derek, but it was trashy to flirt with someone when they are sitting with somebody else.

The rain let up and I practically jumped out of my seat saying, "Come on Derek."

I grabbed his wrist and there was a jolt that went through my hand. I dropped it just as fast as I had grabbed it. He looked at me with an inexpressible look upon his face. Did he just feel what I just felt?

We walked out to the truck and got in without looking at each other. Yet again the air-conditioner blew his sent around me and I completely got lost in it. Derek drove the rest of the way as we sat in silence, the radio was the only thing keeping me from going mad.

Once we got to my college we started unloading the truck, carrying as much as we could in our hands. It took a couple of trips before we got everything in my apartment, and after we got everything inside I busied myself with putting everything in its place while Derek in the middle of the couch watching a hockey game.

After I got done I sat on the edge of the couch trying not to get to close to Derek. He got up and got a drink and when he came back the impact of him landing on the couch made me sort of roll into him. Even though I didn't want anything more than to be sitting that close to him, I tried to move back to my spot, but he did something I would have never expected. He threw his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in closer to him. We sat there for about an hour watching hockey like this. I hate hockey, but I would sit through hockey game after hockey game if I could just sit like this forever. Then I realized how late it was…

"What time is it?" I asked Derek.

He looked at his phone and replied, "8:27."

"George and everyone should have been here hours ago…"

I pulled out my phone about to call my mom when I saw that my phone was on silent, I had seventeen missed calls, and three voice mails. I called my voicemail to listen to the messages. The first played and it was a scruffy man voice.

"Casey McDonald, I am Officer O'Brien. I have some bad news; your family was in an accident. I would appreciate it if you would call me back as soon as you can. Thank you."

Before I could gather my thoughts the next one started playing automatically. It was Emily.

"Casey! Answer your phone! Th-there has b-b-been and a-a-accident. You need to come b-b-back home and get t-t-t-to the h-hospital. Hurry Casey!"

Tears started to roll down my faces as the third started to play.

"Casey, I need you to answer your phone! It's Sam, please answer your phone! Derek isn't answering his phone either, and you need to get home fast! Hurry Casey there isn't much time!"

After Sam's message I jumped up and grabbed Derek's hand and started running out of the door.

"Case! What are you doing?" He asked as I tugged him out into the rain.

"It's the family!" I screamed at him. As soon as the sentence left my mouth he was running right beside me not needing to be tugged anymore. We hopped in the car and started flying down the highway.

"Casey, tell me what happened." He said with his voice thick with worry.

"I-I don't know. E-E-Emily and S-Sam, v-voicemails, an ac-accident!" I said incoherent through sobs.

He took my hand in his hand that wasn't holding the steering wheel and started rubbing soothing circles on the back of my hand. We drove in silence from then on, terrified of what was to come.

We pulled up into the town hospital and got out of the truck. Derek waited for me on the other side of the truck and held out his hand to me. I took it and we walked into the hospital. My eye caught two people sitting in the waiting area of the emergency room.

It was Sam and Emily. He was holding her as sobs wracked her body, and I saw tears leaking from his eyes also. My stomach lurched.

"Emily!" I yelled and she stood up and ran towards me.

"Casey!" she said as she hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe, but I hugged her back just as hard.

"Em, what happened?"

She didn't reply, she was crying to hard. Then Sam appeared behind her.

"Sam what happened? Where is my family?" Derek asked as tears welled up in his eyes.

"Derek, George was driving in that awful rain. A man in a truck didn't see the stop sign and ran it r-r-right as…" Sam couldn't say anything else.

"Right as what!" Derek yelled shaking Sam by the shoulders.

"He hit them Derek!" He cried out.

My legs wobbled underneath me and the room started spinning. Em noticed and sat me in one of the chairs in the waiting room.

"Where are they?" Derek said as tears streamed down his face.

Sam didn't answer.

"Where are they Sam? Where's dad? Nora? Lizzie? Edwin? Where is Smarti?" he asked his voice getting louder and louder with each name.

"Derek, only Lizzie made it…" Sam answered in a whisper.

Derek slumped to the floor and started sobbing, his shoulders shaking with each wracking breath. I moved to the floor with him and wrapped my arms around him sobbing myself. I looked up at Sam and Em.

"Where is Lizzie?"

"She is in ICU. They had to r-revive her twice, the doctors aren't sure if sh-she is g-g-going to make it through the night." Emily replied.

"I want to see her." Derek said pulling up off the floor with my arms still wrapped around him. "I want to see Lizzie."

"I'll ask the doctors." Sam said as she went to the nurses' station.

He came back with a doctor dressing in dark blue scrubs with white hair.

"Hello I am Dr. Sutton. I hear you want to see Lizzie McDonald?" he said with a low voice.

"Yes," Derek replied, hot tears making trails down his face, "I'm her brother, and this is her sister." He said pointing towards me.

"She was sitting in the very back of the van and didn't get full impact of the wreck, but she is still in critical condition. You can see her whenever you want though, seeing the circumstances. Follow me." he said as he started to walk towards two big metal doors.

Derek and I followed holding on to each other for support. We kept walking until we made it to a room with a girl laying in the bed. She had brown hair and her skin looked unusually pail, but as Casey got closer she realized it was her little sister laying there. She had big gashes going across her face that had been stitched up, a long red rectangle shaped burn on her neck, and there were a lot of marks going around her shoulders.

"She didn't get hit by the truck, but she got banged up pretty bad" the doctor said. "Her head hit the back window and the glass broke producing these marks," he pointed to her face, "This mark on her neck is from the seatbelt, and the rest of the nicks and marks are from the shattered glass. We had to revive her twice and now all we can do is wait. I will leave you three alone." He said as he turned to exit.

"Thank you." I said before he walked out the door.

Derek stared down at my little sister with tears rolling down his face.

"How could this happen Case?"

"I don't know Derek, I don't know." I said looking up at him.

"My dad's gone, Edwin's gone, Nora's gone, Smarti…" he couldn't even finish the sentence.

"I know…" I said holding my sister's hand praying that she was going to make it through.

Did you like it? I surely hope you did! And I know what you're thinking, Ohmygosh! This girl is being like every other person who has written a Dasey story and has killed off all of the family... But this is where you are wrong! I will see you soon if you review;)
