Going Back
Chapter 2
Casey had gotten home after picking up Desy at the babysitter, after a long day at college. She went to school for English. Derek was not home yet, because he had hockey practice. The Maple Leaf coache were keeping an eye on him, and by the end of the year he would probably be on the team. Casey saw the light on the answering machine flashing, which meant she had a missed call, she pressed the play button and her whole world came crashing into her when she heard the voice on the speaker.
"Hi Casey, Derek… this is Nora, mom. I just wanted to talk to you two. Give me a call back… love you." Nora's voice came into the speaker. It was a voice that Casey longed to hear, but also feared
Casey begin to talk to herself and pace back and forth. "Ok Casey breath, take nice deep breaths." Her daughter Destiney was looking at her weirdly.
Casey picked her daughter up and held her tight against her chest, against her heart. When the hard times came, Casey hugged her daughter as tight as she could and her problems would fade away.
"Oh Desy…." And Casey broke down. Desy just looked at her mother.
2 hours later and Derek got home
Derek walked through the door of there apartment, placing his hockey gear on the floor. Not noticing Casey yet. "Hey babe, I'm home." Derek turned around to see Casey with her face stained with tears, and Desy sleeping in her arms.
"Casey, what happened?" Derek said rushing over to Casey placing his hand on Desy's head , assuming it was something with there daughter because of her sleeping form.
"Derek. She's fine." Casey said, her through dry.
"God damn it Casey tell me what happened!" Derek said worried.
"…mom called." Casey said simply, small tears going down her cheek. Derek just hugged her and let her cry against his neck.
"Casey, baby what did she say?" Derek asked softly, his tone very different then from a couple seconds ago. Casey broke away from Derek a bit so she could talk and so she would not squish her daughter.
"She wanted to see us. And she said I love you." Casey said with pure innocence in her voice. Derek took both her hands into his.
"Do you wanna see her Casey?" Derek asked looking deeply into her eyes.
"I don't know… I don't want to get hurt again." Casey said cuddling with Derek and Desy on the couch.
"She hurt you a lot didn't she Casey?"
"Yeah she did. I never knew that my own mom could do that to me. It really hurt."
"I know baby, I promise you that I'm never gonna let her or anyone one hurt you again." Derek said, and at that moment he vowed that he would not let anyone cause her any harm.
"I'm gonna go take a shower Derek. Try to relax a bit."
"You do that Casey." Casey began to get up from the couch and started to walk to the bathroom.
"I love you Casey, always remember that." Derek said.
"I love you too Derek. And I will always remember that." Casey said, with a small smile creeping onto her face.
Derek sat on the couch staring his daughter. He grabbed the phone and dialed a very familiar number, and he would demand to know what they wanted
