AN: This is the last story I will be starting for a while. I'm not going to start anymore stories until I finish at least a few of the ones I keep procrastinating on. I was writing a chapter to my "Creeping out Casey" story and this idea came to me.
Derek walked into Casey's room. She was gone doing a lame extracurricular thing at school. He opened up her diary, her new boyfriend was making her act different recently. He flipped to the most recent entry.
"Tonight I went out to dinner with Henry. We went to the new restaurant, Pinky's, and it was great! We got a booth where the window had a nice view of the lake."
"The lake?" Derek said to himself. "That's pretty far away." He thought. Further north and a lot more upscale then where he was right now. He wanted to know what else was happening.
"After we ate he took me for a walk by the bridge and kissed me. He said my hair glowed wonderfully in the moonlight. I told him about my new lyrical dance class I'm taking. So he put some music on his phone and we danced together. The only problem was that his hands were a little too low for my comfort, but he's so sweet that it was probably an accident."
"Are you kidding me?" Derek asked the diary. "He only wants to get you in bed. I'm the one that loves you." He said without understanding why. "No I don't." He corrected himself. He decided to read the rest of the entry because Casey would be home soon.
"When we got back home nobody else was around so he kissed me again. It ended up to be a make-out session on the couch. He got a little handsy, but he understands me too well to actually try having sex. He wouldn't try that because he says that he loves me. Well it's been a good day today.
Love,
Casey McDonald"
"He doesn't love you." Derek closed the diary. He was really angry inside, but he didn't get why. The last week all he's been able to think about was Casey. He thought about how cute her outfits were, how pretty she looked, how soft her skin was. He stopped himself when he heard Casey from down the stairs.
"I'm home." She yelled up to him. They were home alone. He went down to see her. He wanted to know what else happened on her date. "Hey Derek." She said when she saw him.
"Hey, is something wrong?" He asked her. She had a frown on her face. He wanted to help her. They sat on the couch.
"I'm just tired, had a long night last night." She explained. This was the perfect chance for him to get the Intel he wanted. "Well Henry and I were kissing and then he… tried to seduce me." Casey said with a shudder.
"That sucks." Derek said. He wasn't going to let any guy come close to her virginity. Her spirit was kind and pure. And she always carried herself well. "But nothing happened right?" He felt the need to ask.
"Of course not." Casey answered. "He loves me too much, he even told me that." Casey said. She got up and started walking to the kitchen. Derek was glad knowing she was safe for now.
She sat at one of the stools eating some yogurt. He stared at her legs, they were soft and long. He grunted to himself for thinking stuff like that. Casey looked over. "Something wrong with you?" She asked him.
"No." He told her while getting up. "Nothing at all." He walked up the stairs. He went into his room and sat on his bed. He had no clue what was going on. "Oh Shit." He said to himself. "I love her."
He sat for 2 hours thinking about this. Casey went into her room. He wanted to see her. He needed to see her. He walked in as she was putting on lip gloss. He smelled the cherry flavoring, it was good.
"What do you want Derek?" She asked while putting the cap on the lip gloss. She was getting ready for dinner with Henry. She grabbed the new necklace he had gotten her and put it around her neck.
"I lo, lo, love, uh, uh, uh you" He stuttered in 1 breath. "I love you" He old her this time with a straight face. Casey's jaw dropped in shock. "I love you." He repeated himself. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"No you don't." Casey told him. He couldn't love her. "You can't. I love Henry and he loves me." She heard the doorbell ring. "That's him now, how could you even say that. You don't love me." She told him. "That's not something you shouldn't lie about." She ran down the stairs.
He stood motionless, how could she do that to him? He put his head in his hands with anger. The front door of the house closed. He went into his room. "Why did I tell her?" He asked himself numerous times.

The hockey game was over and he was going to throw away his empty bag of chips when 2 car doors closed outside the house. Derek hid on the stairs. Casey jiggled the doorknob but walked in with Henry.
"That was a good movie." Casey told him. Henry smiled and closed the door behind him. He took off his coat, not a good sign. "I had fun." She added. He smiled at her. Derek couldn't believe Casey was ok wearing that short skirt around him.
"Me too." Henry told her. They stood there for a while before sitting on the couch. He leaned in and kissed Casey lightly on the cheek. Casey smiled, Henry smiled, Derek narrowed his eyes.
He kissed her on the lips now and she kissed him back. Henry's right hand started to glide up her leg. He was at her knee when she swatted him off, he tried again but she was being stubborn.
Casey ended the kiss. "Henry stop it." She told him sternly. She got off the couch. "I don't like it when you do things like that." Derek held in a laugh. Henry stood up now.
"Well what am I supposed to do? I love you and you love me so why don't we take it a step further?" He said. Casey walked over to the door. She didn't want him to be mad but didn't want to go to the next step.
"Because we aren't married. That's why." She told him. He walked over to her and grabbed his coat. "I thought I wouldn't need to explain this to you." She explained to him.
"Well maybe if you don't trust me, we should break up." He said while opening the door. "Which we are. I'm dumping you Casey. We're over." He said. He walked out of the house. Casey was glaring at him intensely.
"Fine, you don't deserve me anyways." She yelled before closing the door. Once the door was closed she felt like her heart was choking her. Derek came down the stairs, she turned to look at him. "You heard all of that didn't you?" She asked him.
"I'm not sorry it didn't work out, he only dated you to get you in bed." Derek said. Casey was angry at him now. "He is a total jerk." Derek continued. Casey nodded in agreement. The door opened, it was Henry.
"Case I'm sorry, I was a total jerk. Please forgive me." He told her. His eyes were soft and convincing. Casey thought about it for a second. "I promise it won't happen again." He added.
"Ok!" She told him with excitement. He kissed her quickly then left for real. Derek was filled with anger. "I told you he understands me." She told him. They walked up the stairs.

Casey was annoyed with Derek's gargling as she brushed her teeth. When he finally spit she needed to confront him. "Derek I can't believe you." She started out. Derek started flossing as she spit.
"What are you talking about?" He asked. Casey spit out her water and looked over at him in disbelief. "No, seriously." He told her. They both rolled their eyes simultaneously. Derek tossed the floss he was using into the garbage bin.
"The way you spied on Henry and I today. What happened was none of your business." She said when she finished putting her stuff away. She poured some mouthwash into a cup. Derek laughed and left the bathroom.
Derek closed the door to his bedroom and sat at his desk chair. He had no idea what he was feeling. 'She makes me so angry.' He thought to himself. He logged onto myspace and looked at her page. 'Why can't I stop thinking about her?' He looked at her top friends. He wasn't there.
Henry was the first of course. 'He is no good for her.' Derek thought when seeing the page. He began typing like a maniac. "Here we go!" Derek said to himself. He logged onto her account. He knew what to look for.
He found some messaged between her and Henry. He had to read it.
"I had fun last night at dinner" Casey
"Me too, can't wait for tonight." Henry
"What?" Derek said to himself. They didn't go out on a date tonight. She hadn't gone out at all today, it was Saturday. He read on.
"I'm really nervous for tonight" Casey
"I'll take good care of you" Henry
"You always do" Casey
Derek couldn't believe what he was reading. The door to Casey's room made a noise as she closed it. He wanted to go in and tell her that it would break his heart if Henry got exactly what he was planning for ever since they started going out only a month ago. He decided to read the whole message and make sure it wasn't just his imagination.
"So you'll meet me outside your cul-de-sac at 2 right?" Henry.
"Just wait until you see my outfit" Casey
"I'd rather see it in the back of my truck" Henry
"Well I'd prefer them to be next to the bed." Casey
"Well we don't have a bed because I can't afford a hotel room and we'd be caught at our houses" Henry
Derek grew angrier with each word. He wasn't going to let his poor sweet Casey fall for this loser's tricks. Although he'd like to get them down on paper for future use with her. But right now he needed to save her because he loved her. Derek stopped when he thought of love. "It would never work." He told himself.
"I can deal with this later." He told himself. He needed to get more details. Where would this truck be? He had to keep an eye on her just in case.
"We're going to the club first right?" Casey
"Which one again?" Henry
"Silly goose. The one on 5th and main." Casey
"Right. Club Freak" Henry
"Yep. They do have bathrooms good for sex." Casey
"How would you know?" Henry
"Oh stop joking Cupcake. We've gone there every Saturday night or technically Sunday morning for the past 3 weeks" Casey
"I know that, but nobody else does." Henry
"Of course not, our little secret would be out then" Casey
"Then we would probably be forced to break up by our parents" Henry
"And I would never want that because I love you." Casey
"I love you too" Henry
"That's why I'm ok with having sex with you Henry." Casey
"Well thanks baby girl. I knew you would come around sometime soon." Henry
"Well I know this is both our first times because of our tests we took last weekend." Casey
"Yep totally clean" Henry
Derek had to stop reading. It was 1:45 and he had to stop Casey. He barged into her room without knocking as usual. He came in as she was shirtless. "Oh my god. Is henry in here?" He asked her in a whisper.
"What the hell are you doing in here Derek?" She whispered back to him in shock and anger. She pulled the top over herself before Derek could see much. The only light on in the room was the nightstand light.
"I hacked your myspace and saw everything." He admitted in a slightly louder voice. She turned around with her shirt on this time and stared at him with disbelief. "You guys are going to the club and then to his truck for sex.
Casey grabbed his shirt in his hands to stop him. "You have no business knowing when, where, or who I lose my virginity with." She told him. She released his shirt and took 2 steps back. Derek loved the way she smelled. It was consuming his thoughts.
She heard a car engine close to the house. "That's Henry." She said with excitement. She ran to open the window but Derek got ahead and blocked her. "Derek, you really have a problem with Henry." She told him.
"Case just listen to me." He told her. She relaxed her body and let him speak. "I know Henry. All this sex is going to do is bring a breakup between you guys and I know because I was a man before I fell in love with you." Dean blurted out to her. Casey dropped her jaw as far as it would go.
"I truly and deeply love you." Derek said while looking into her eyes. Casey wanted to turn her head but she couldn't. "If you want to throw your life away with this guy then you have to go through me." Derek said.
