A/N: Just a little one-shot. Reminder: slight spoiler for Adios Derek. Also fans of Music Business a note for you at the end.
I'm at my desk going over my To Bring list making sure I packed everything I need for this semester, seeing as I'm going to be staying with my dad in New York for half of the year and I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm half way through when I hear my door open and close. Turning to my side I see Derek sitting on my bed.
"Are you here to make fun of me or pull one more prank before I leave, Derek?" turning back to look at my list I hear him laugh at my question.
"Actually, I came to make sure you're gonna be okay, I mean I know your gonna miss me while your gone."
"Oh, please, I should be checking on you since we all know it's you that's going to be missing me."
"Really, I seem to remember someone shedding some tears because I was going to Spain for six months."
"I wasn't crying because I would miss you but for Marti since she was taking it so hard."
"Sure Case."
"As heart warming as this is I need to finish packing so if you could—"
"Alright, Alright."
Turning back to my list for a second time, I notice his footsteps have stopped, which is weird since I haven't heard the door open and close yet. Turning around to see what is going on I'm taken by surprised as Derek quickly comes towards me and pulls me into a hug.
After the initial shock I wrapped my arms around him with his chin resting on top of my head he begins to speak, "I really am gonna miss you and to be honest I was going to miss you too when I thought I was going to Spain. You can ask Marti but I'll deny it again if anyone asks" causing me to laugh quietly.
"Since we're being honest, I wasn't crying for Marti but I'll also deny it."
"Goodbye Case" and with that he begins to drift away shutting the door behind him. Staring at my newly closed door I can feel the tears coming, wiping my eyes and pushing them back, smiling, I know he's outside with his back against my door, head down, eyes closed, a smirk on his face and hands in his pockets before slowly lifting himself up and walking into his own room closing the door behind him. I turn back to my list for the third time knowing that he wasn't going to be there tomorrow to see me off because he doesn't want anyone to see that he cares, but I don't mind because I know that he does and that's all that matters.
Well that was it folks hoped you liked it.
Okay about Music Business I know I've said it will be done twice now but due to my mysterious illness I haven't had a whole lot a luck with concentration. I was able to write this so thats a start, I now know for sure how the rest of Music Business will go, each of the old existing chapters will have at least one new section to it with some other slight variations but they shouldn't take to long to write but I also decided to add some more chapters between the old last one and the epilogue, which is completely rewritten, so those will take some time, so I should start posting up again later today and working on the two to three new chapters then posting them up with the already rewritten epilogue and that will end it. Sorry about the empty promises.
Review, maybe it's the cure to my mysterious illness.
