He drove in silence and didn't take his eyes off the road. He didn't look at her but he knew she was trying her best not to cry. Truman had kissed Vicky and broken Casey's heart.
It really did take all the power he had within him to restrain from killing Truman. I say killing because I think we both know that Derek would not stop. But he had a bigger priority at the moment, something more important then the pansy. Casey was what really mattered at that point.
"Do you mind if I pick something up really quick?" he asked softly slowly turning to look at her.
"Derek please" She responded without looking at him. "I just want to go home." She answered.
He cringed to the thought that she wouldn't be able to harbor her tears for much long.
"Ok" He responded sighing. He gunned the engine trying to get her home as soon as possible.
If she's still crying at 1 am ill to do it he convinced himself. She had been crying the second she walked into her room that night. She might think he didn't hear her but there walls were far too thin for that. He heard every sigh and every sob. The worst was when he heard nothing at all because that only meant that she was holding it in, and the longer she held it in- the worse the cry was.
12:45 AM blinked his alarm clock. He sighed throwing the sheets off his body. He put on the first thing he saw before running out the house.
He stood in the ice cream section unsure of what to bring her. Casey loves chocolate, he thought so he got chocolate fudge. While waiting to pay he noticed her favorite chocolate bar at the register and of course had to get some of those as well. What else do I need? He asked himself.
That's how he ended up in the abandoned DVD store ( I mean who besides him buys DVD's at 1 am on a Friday night?) He sighed. What the hell was he suppose to get? Casey had every chick flick possible! He checked out the New Release section and spotted New Moon. He shook his head knowing he would regret it, but grabbed a copy anyway. He paid quickly before he had enough time to change his mind.
He got back home by 1:30 and yes, she was still crying. He braced himself before walking into the war zone. He opened the door and saw exactly what he expected. He just wasn't prepared for it to affect him that much. Her eyes were puffy and red; well, her whole face was actually. She looked devastated. How could anyone purposely do that to her? He knew he pissed her off all the time, but never to this point. He could never do that to her.
She turned towards him and mumbled something along the lines of "Go away" but he couldn't understand her.
He sighed setting the DVD down on her bed and opening up the ice cream and scooping some up onto a giant sized spoon. "Open."He said like a parents making a child take medicine.
She turned to look at him and smiled when she noticed the ice cream. She let him fed her once but took over once she tasted the deliciousness.
He smiled for a second. He seemed to have done something right.
"Is New Moon ok? I think I remember you saying something about the guy being hot or something." He mumbled.
"Yeah, it's perfect." She said shocked.
"You wanna watch it now?"He asked, hopping that she would say no. He wasn't sure if he could sit through it.
She shook her head as we eyes watered again. Fuck, the thought to himself. He was quickly by her side and brought her into his arms. "Don't cry Princess" he whispered into her hair. She wasn't quite sure why he was being so nice, but she didn't question it. She actually liked the comfort of being in his arms for some strange reason she couldn't explain.
They never did get to watch the movie though.
This was the second time she woke up in his arms. This time though she didn't push him away. She frowned, wrapping her arms tighter around him hopping to drift off to sleep again. She didn't want to face the world yet. She didn't want to get out of bed.
He was already up though. He didn't get much sleep he was too worried about her. She literally cried herself to sleep. His t-shirt was proof enough. So he simply held her through the night. He ran his fingers lightly through her hair and whispered words he knew she wouldn't hear. He couldn't help but let a smile tug at the corner of his mouth she snuggled closer to him. He didn't want to let her go either.
She finally did manage to wake up and pull away from his body. He reluctantly got up and awkwardly went to his own bed. No words were exchanged; just a simple node of gratitude, and acceptance was shared between them.
She avoided him for the rest of the day.
