A/N- Well, I decided I'd give you another chapter. I really want reviews so please review!
Disclaimer- I don't own anything…
Casey couldn't believe she had actually kissed Derek. He was her step brother. She didn't care though. The saddest part was that she was going to have to leave it all behind. Until her father came upstairs and changed everything.
"Knock, knock," her father said as he walked into Casey's room.
"Hey," she replied quietly.
"Dad, I just want you to hear me out. I never meant to say that. You're not a crappy father and I wouldn't mind going to live with you in New York…it's just…I love it here. I mean, after you and mom got divorced I didn't think I'd ever actually be able to get over it, but I did. I really like living here with everyone, even Derek," Casey finished, smiling to herself. She really did like living with Derek, now at least.
"Casey, I forgive you. I really do want you to come live with me but if you really like living here… I don't want to be the one to take that away from you," Dennis smiled.
Casey got up and hugged him. "Oh my goodness, you are the best person ever," she exclaimed.
"Aww, touching," a familiar voice said. It was Derek.
"Well, you'll be happy to know that Casey is going to be staying here with you. You get to keep her all to yourself," her father said to Derek.
"That's absolutely wonderful," Derek said with a mischievous smile on his face.
Dennis walked out of the room leaving Derek and Casey alone. Derek kicked the door closed and kissed Casey again.
"So, you excited," he asked after.
"Of course! I thought I was going to have to leave you and never see you and everyone else again. The only bad thing is that Liz is still going," Casey replied.
"Well, you can always go and visit her,' Derek said as he kissed Casey again.
They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Edwin walked in and gave them a weird look. Derek had his hands around Casey's waist. He quickly removed them and slicked his hair back.
"Uh…Lizzie wants to talk to you Casey," he said giving them both a strange look. Casey quickly walked out nervously.
"So, what's that all about," Edwin questioned to Derek.
"What's what all about," Derek said back.
"You and Casey. Why were your hands all around her waist," he asked, raising his eyebrows.
"We were just…," Derek stalled, trying to make up a good excuse, "hugging. We were hugging because she's not leaving anymore," Derek finished. He was always the one to make up a good excuse to save his own ass. Now he was also saving Casey's. If anyone found out they kissed, she'd be on her way to New York before he could even blink.
"Hugging? And since when do you and Casey actually hug each other," Edwin pressured.
"Listen Edweirdo; mind your own damn business. What goes on between me and Casey is between me and Casey," Derek remarked.
As Derek left the room, Edwin definitely knew something was up with them and he wasn't going to let them get away with it.
DASEY
Tomorrow came so quick for the MacDonald-Venturi family. Oddly, everyone had kind of brushed Nora's death off. She wasn't forgotten but she wasn't a big thought. Lizzie was leaving. They focused on that. Everyone was sad to see her go, especially Edwin. He had liked her ever since the day they met. They had become best friends and didn't want to be apart.
"You promise to visit a lot," Edwin questioned.
"Promise. You have to visit, too," she replied smiling. Edwin leaned in and whispered something to her. She smiled and whispered something back. They hugged for the billionth time and Casey walked over to her little sister.
"I'm going to miss you so much," Casey managed to say.
"I'm going to miss you too. I'll come and visit whenever I can," Lizzie said.
Casey hugged her sister tightly and let go to hug her dad.
"Bye, Dad. I'll miss you," Casey replied.
"I'll miss you, too. Bye everyone," Dennis said.
They left. Casey was kind of sad. Lizzie had always been there for her. Who would she tell her secrets to? Who would she ask for help? No more Lizzie.
Derek had caught the little exchange of secrets between Lizzie and Edwin and cornered his little brother.
"Well, well, well. What was that little secret swap with you and Liz," Derek pestered.
"None of your business," Edwin said trying to run away form his brother.
"Oh, so you can question me about what goes on with me and Casey but I can't question what goes on with you and Liz," Derek questioned.
"It was nothing...it doesn't matter," Edwin said running downstairs. Derek followed.
"Ahh, Edwin, just the person I was looking for. I'm going to bring you and Marti to your grandmother's for the weekend. I have a business trip I need to go on. Go pack and meet me down here in 5," George told Edwin.
"You're going to be gone the whole weekend," Derek questioned.
"Yeah, why? You two can survive. I'll leave money for food," George told them as he left to go put Marti in the car. Edwin followed.
"Wow. The whole weekend…," Derek started as he pulled Casey closer. She pushed him back as the front door opened again.
"Well, we have to go. Goodbye. Oh yeah, Derek, no parties," he exclaimed. George closed the door behind him. Derek and Casey watched as he drove away. They waited 10 minutes before they walked away.
"So, no parties. What are we supposed to do, all alone, in this big empty house, just the two of us," Derek said as he inched closer to Casey on the couch.
"Watch TV, homework. I'm sure you have something to do in this big empty house," Casey snickered.
"Funny. I'll just call Sam. You're too boring," he said as he got up to call Sam.
Sam was his best friend. They were on the same hockey team and Casey used to have a crush on him. Sam got there about a half an hour later.
"Hey," he said as he came through the door, "Hey Casey.
Sam secretly had a crush on Casey. Sam could never tell Derek that. He'd be going against the male-code-blue. It was a code that meant that he couldn't date other friend's siblings. Steps included.
"Hi, Sam," Casey smiled. Even after "The Incident" with Derek, Casey still thought Sam was cute. She knew she couldn't date him. Some code.
Derek walked over to Casey and snatched the remote from her.
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you," she yelled at him.
"Sam and I want to watch the hockey game," he said as he threw the remote at Sam.
"Well, I was watching something," Casey said as she smacked Derek in the head. She walked away and went upstairs.
"I guess I should go check if I made her cry," Derek laughed. He walked upstairs and into Casey's room.
"Go away, Derek," she said.
Her walked over to her at her desk and put his hands around her.
"Oh, come on, Casey. Come back downstairs and watch the game with us," he suggested.
"I don't want to come and watch the stupid game with you," she mumbled. Derek turned her around and kissed her. She pushed him away after a few seconds.
"Sam's here," Casey replied.
"Oh, so you don't want Sam seeing you kiss me," he questioned.
"Uh, duh, you idiot. How do you think I should explain my stepbrother kissing me," she asked him.
"You could say it was sibling love," he said stupidly, "Let's go downstairs and watch the game.
She gave in and followed Derek downstairs. Casey sat next to Derek and he kept poking her in the stomach the whole time. Sibling love. The game ended and Sam decided to sleep over. He went back to his house to grab some clothes. That left Casey and Derek with about a half an hour.
"So, Casey," he said pushing closer to her.
"What do you want, Derek," she asked him in a bored voice.
"You," he said as he started to kiss her. It went on for about 10 minutes until the front door busted open.
"I can't believe you did this," George said as he walked in with Edwin.
"What'd he do now," Derek casually asked.
"Ok, I'm on my way to the work place and his grandmother calls. He was smoking," George screamed.
"Smoking? Edwin, are you stupid," Casey asked him.
"Yeah, you're only supposed to do that around hot girls," Derek playfully said.
"Good encouragement, Derek," George told him. He looked at his watch.
"I've got to go. He gets no TV, no computer, no phone, nothing. He's lucky he's going to get to eat," George told Casey. He left in a rush.
"Great. He's taking after you," Casey said to Derek.
"Who cares? It's one time. It won't kill him," Derek said kissing Casey.
"Ah hah! I caught you two! Kissing…on the couch," Edwin exclaimed jumping off of the staircase.
"Big deal. Do you know how much dirt I have on you," Derek said getting up towards Edwin.
"So what. Dad would love to hear about you and Casey's little make out session," Edwin concluded, running after the phone.
"Yeah and I'm sure he'll love to here you call after you just smoked you jackass," Casey intervened.
"You two kissed though, you're related," Edwin pointed out.
"And? What does that have to do with anything? We're step related," Derek protested.
"I don't care. This is major blackmail," Edwin said walking upstairs.
Casey shook her head at Derek.
"It's not my fault," Derek chuckled.
