So this story is basically about how Derek and Casey's loved ones perceive and feel about their relationship. I only decided to do Emily, Paul, and Kendra for numerous reasons but mostly because I like them all a lot. Hee. So here it is. Emily's side.

I do not own LWD.

Emily sighed as Casey ran up, looking murderously angry. Surprisingly enough this wasn't a rare occurence and, slowly but surely, she had gotten use to it.

"I cannot believe him!" the pretty brunette cried in outrage. Emily smiled but inside she was breaking. Her best friend was in a tizzy and, as usual, it was because of Derek. She had told herself she had stopped caring long ago but seeing Casey in Derek's clothes once again was enough to make her heart start hurting.

"What happened?" she asked. Make no mistake, Emily was tired of it all. Tired of the lame pranks, the fights that they always seemed to be having and the way Derek kept insisting he hated his step-sister just like Casey swore she despised her 'loathsome' step-brother. Tired of it all. But she was Casey's friend, right? Sometimes she thought she would be better off not associating herself with the McDonalds/Venturis ever again.

"He hid my clothes!" Casey screeched and Emily winced. Again and again Derek did something so Casey would have no choice but to wear his clothes. Did they seriously not see it? She couldn't be the only one. Emily knew that, even if other people saw it the way she did, no one would say it to their faces. But how could they not see? It was so damn obvious and so damn heartbreaking.

"Hey Klutzilla, nice outfit." And then Derek was right there smirking, and staring at Casey. Emily rolled her eyes.

"Please. Its not my fault you have clothes suited for a homeless person and I have to wear them. Not my fault at all," she said, glaring at him. He only chuckled. Emily sighed in exasperation. He hadn't even acknowledged her presence.

"Tsk tsk Casey. You're wrong. Weren't you the one that misplaced all your clothing and just had to wear mine? So I guess it is your fault then," he said, smirking, and Emily wondered if she should just leave. They were obviously preoccupied. But before she could take a step Casey was storming down the hall after one last "ugh!" and Emily didn't totally mind watching her leave. She turned to Derek who was laughing his ass off and rolled her eyes.

"You shouldn't do that to her," she said quietly. Derek turned to her and just stared.

"Oh Emily. She's such a pain in the ass. You have nooo idea." But she did.

"Suuure. Thats totally the reason you prank her all the time," she said with a roll of her eyes. And then Derek was left standing there, watching Emily go, wondering when she had gotten so weird.

Next is Paul, everyone's favorite counselor! But seriously, I think he's my favorite. Did I miss any spelling errors or is my grammar lacking? Tell me in a review!

I sound like a tacky salesman. Hehe. I would really appreciate any constructive criticism though. :)
