Chapter 1: WTF?!?!

Casey woke up to her alarm blaring as she did everyday. Today was different though. She had set her alarm to six o'clock so she was sure she would be able to shower. She was able to shower, get dressed and get out of the bathroom before Derek even woke up.

Yes! now if I can get breakfast and get the car started before Derek notices. Casey went down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Baby Raider again?" Nora said as Casey got a bowl and some cereal from the cupboard. "Why this time?"

"Wanted to where something nice." Casey said before taking a bit of cereal. She finished quickly and finished her dishes as Derek came into the kitchen. Damn. "hurry up or you aren't getting a ride."

"What are you talking about? I got the keys." Casey laughed at this.

"You mean these." Casey jingled the keys and walked out of the kitchen.

"Give me the keys." Derek demanded as Casey made her way up the stairs.

"No way. These are mine today." Casey responded as she headed for the bathroom. "you better hurry."

"Casey!" Derek ran up the stairs and followed her into the bathroom. "where are they?" Derek said as he made her bend over the sink backwards. Her head was close to the mirror.

"Derek I have to finish my make up." Derek's breaths licked at Casey's lips. what is he aiming at.

Now now now! Sam won't ever get his chance. "Casey…" Derek said in a light voice. "I…I…um."

"What now Derek?" Casey said in a harsher tone than she meant to. I can't believe this. I have to be dreaming.

" I… I better not have to walk to school." He said before walking out of the bathroom.

Later that morning, right before first bell, Casey was at her locker. "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Casey is the sun" Came a voice from behind her locker. Casey closed the locker and kissed her long time boyfriend Sam. "and this is for you."

"Oh, Sam, I love it, not as much as you though." Casey kissed Sam passionately on the lips.

"So you are coming to my house right?" Sam said excitedly.

"Of course I am Sam. I told you that everyday for three weeks now!" Casey comforted her boyfriend.

"Then I'll see you out front after school?"

"Until then." Casey kissed Sam quickly before heading for her first class. Sam and Casey went through the day like any other, looking forward to the night though. That is how the Derek came to be at her locker right after school.

"Hey Casey," Casey raised an eyebrow at Derek.

"'Hey Casey?' you feeling okay?" Derek nodded, somewhat afraid to answer the question. Casey handed him the keys.

"Casey?" He said softly. "be careful." Casey nodded and turned to leave. "And…" Casey turned back. "Be home by ten."

"Derek it's Friday. My curfew is mid night." Derek nodded.

"Yeah…Yeah, I know but Marti wanted a story…from you."

"Oh."

"Yeah so have fun and try to make it home early." Derek turned and left for detention. I am not suppose to be like this. Argh! What can I do?

"Hey Sam, Ready to go?" Casey said as she walked toward her boyfriend.

"Yep." so Casey climbed in his Casey and the sped off toward Sam's house.

Casey returned at 1:00 in the morning. She came in the door slowly and locked it. She headed up to her room and walked in. As she pulled the covers over her head, she heard the door close. Someone's hands pull the cover down.

"WHERE WERE YOU!?" Derek whispered as loud as he could without waking anyone. Derek's eyes softened as he say her face. Tears were streaming down her face and by the look of her bright red nose and puff eyes a long while. "Casey, what…?"

"Nothing." she said in her scratchy voice. She turned away from her but Derek didn't leave.

"Did Sam do something?" He saw Casey flinch. Casey however choice to ignore her step brother. "do you want to help with a cover?"

"I'll just tell them the truth. Me and Sam fell a sleep." Casey said beginning to cry again. Derek was about to touch her shoulder when she pulled the covers up again. Derek sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall, afraid to leave Casey a lone. He began to sing a song he hoped would put her to sleep.

"Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town" When he was done, tears ran down his face. Casey's slow breathing was a quiet rhythm that Derek listened to. I will help you Casey…If Sam hurts you I am still here. "I still love you." Derek yawned as He fell asleep.

Basically Derek has an idea of what happens because Sam told him he was hoping to score. Sry that it is short get over it. PLEASE review and tell me what you think, even if you hate it (kidding!).
