Chapter 2
She called me on Saturday. I was thinking about letting the machine get it. But there was just something about Casey McDonald calling me, that well I had to answer.
"Hello" I answered
"Hey Der" She said in that voice, that soft Casey voice. When she's been thinking a lot and finally figures something out. I love that voice.
"What's up?"
"Der…."
"Yeah case?"
"I miss you" And as simple as that she admitted it. But she was the one that walked out. Shell learn how to deal.
"I miss my best friend Der. And….well I wanted to know if we could hang out today. Catch up you know? I mean I know where not together anymore. But we can still talk can't we?"
I didn't want to hang out with her honestly. That would to kill me. Seeing her right in front of me and knowing that she's not mine anymore. Knowing that she's marrying a dumb ass, no that would just kill me and I don't think I could take the heart break. But at the same time I couldn't deny her. Never could. She's my weakness, probably knows it to.
"Sure case, whenever you want"
" You want to come over ?"
"If your alright with that." But then I thought about it "Wait case do you live with him?"
"Jason?"
"Yeah that guy"
"Nope. I live alone Derek" And I felt her smile on the other side of the phone for some odd reason.
She told me the address and 2 hours later I was there. I know I know two hours is a lot when she lives only 15 minutes away. But I still am Derek Venturi. I did have to take a long shower and actually spend time getting ready. I'm going to have lunch with my ex fiancé ! I had to look good.
So there I was about to knock on the door of her apartment. My stomach was turning. It was too late to turn back now. So I knocked. A few second later she came to open the door. The second I saw her I realized that this was a bad idea. I really thought I could control myself around her, but I had a feeling that today I couldn't.

We were sitting on the couch just talking bout things, anything except our past then she asked.
"So Der any new love interests?" I gulped. I didn't think shed ask me anything like that. She's the one getting married! But I had to play it cool.
"Well I've been on a few dates but after the second or third I don't call back. So no nothing serious yet."
"Typical Player Derek Venturi" She says with a smirk.
"Case, wipe that smirk off your face. What about you huh?"
She paled and the smirk disappeared. I guess she didn't think It could go both ways.
"What about me?" She asked suddenly quiet.
"Come on case. You've been dating?"
"Well…Yeah there's this guy…"
"Jason."
"Yeah" She almost whispered looking down as if she was disappointed in herself.
"Case." I said gently cupping her chin making her look up. I noticed her eye water.
"Your gonna marry him right?"
She remained quiet and I ran my fingers through my hair.
"Do you love him case?"
"He loves me Der."She said avoiding eye contact.
"Case I asked if you loved him"
"Der… please don't make this hard for me" she practically begged, but I wasn't letting it go.
"Case it's a yes or no question. There's no in between. Do you love him?"
She looked me straight in the eyes and said "He's the closest thing to you I'll ever have Derek"
I didn't know if that meant that she loved him since she loved me. So that worried me.
"Is that a yes?"
"No Derek, I don't love him"
"Then why are you gonna marry him case?" I said a little louder. I really didn't mean to but she was getting me aggravated. She doesn't love this guy yet she's going to marry him because he loves her? This isn't the Casey I know.
She rolled her eyes. "Der-ek I told you already. He's the closest thing to you I'll ever have. Didn't you notice? He's crazy about hockey. He wanted me to convince you to play a few games with him. And when he comes over and watches hockey he pulls me onto his lap, just like you did Der. And I mean sure he seems a lot like you but I no he's not you Derek. But he loves me."
"I don't get it case. You left me; you walked out our house Case. For what? A guy who is like me?"
"Der, I may have walked out but you could have easily stopped me"
And that's when tears started running down her face. I consider myself a pretty strong man but not right now. So I did what I felt like I had to. I picked her up and sat her on my lap warped my arms around her and got as close to her as I could without crushing her and I let her cry. And I won't lie a few tears ran down my face too.
After a few minutes she calmed down but stayed in that exact position. Having her body so close to mine, oh how I hated myself at that moment. She basically told me I could have stopped her. And now she was going to marry a guy who she didn't love because I didn't stop her.
"Baby, what if you were right" I didn't notice that I called her baby till afterword's. I probably shouldn't have but having her in my arms it felt like she still was mine.
"Right about what?" She asked. her voice still scratchy because of all the tears.
"The house with the dog and the kids. What if I wasn't there like you said. That's why I didn't stop you case. I know you, you take forever to make up your mind about what to put on your pizza." She managed to let out a little laugh on that one "I knew this wasn't impulse. Your decision- I know you thought about it and I thought that if you were right, I don't want to cause that pain for you case. So I let you walk away and that has to be the biggest mistake I've ever made babe"
She finally lifted her head from my chest and looked at me. Her red puffy eyes along with her pink nose, it killed me to know I'm causing her this pain regardless.
"So what are you going to do about it Venturi?"
"Depends. Do I have an option?"
"It doesn't matter if you do. You're the famous Derek Venturi, you don't care about what the world tells you. You always get what you want don't you?"
"I know but I can't get what I want this time. I can't make you love me again Casey."
"Who said I ever stopped Der?"
And honestly that's all it took for me kiss her. And I'm not going into detail but it didn't stop at one kiss.
Later on that night
"You still have all my heart Casey" I said kissing her forehead holding her body tighter to mine.
"Like I said before I left Derek. I'll always love you babe. Forever and a day."
The next morning.I knew she was engaged to get married. I know I shouldn't have done what we did. But then again she didn't stop it either. It was something we both wanted- no needed. And I was laid there the morning after, with her body flushed against mine well I knew what I had to do.
AN: What will Derek do? Is he going to wlak on like she walked on him?
