A/N: Okay guys here's chapter 2! Thanks for the reviews!

Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek.

**Derek's P.O.V. **

I could feel a sharp pain in my back, a pain so strong that I think if I moved one muscle it would a send an unbearable amount of pain through me. None the less I opened my eyes, which surprisingly didn't hurt. I was greeted by an all white room and I mean ALL white. White sheets, curtains, walls, floors, you name it and it was white. I finally saw a bit of color when I looked at the couch and saw my family sleeping on top of it. My dad was on the end with his head propped up on his elbow and Nora was sleeping beside him with her head on his shoulder. Lizzie and Edwin were on the other side in almost the exact position as my dad and Nora. I smirked at them, I always knew they liked each other. As for Marti she was curled up on the floor at their feet, she almost looked like the kitty she used to pretend to be. The only person I didn't see was Casey, I looked around for her. She wasn't near the family, she wasn't by the door, she wasn't by the window either. I was about to check the other side of the room when I felt a movement around my chest area. When I looked down I saw Casey right beside me with her head on my chest. She had a tear on her cheek and I gently brushed it away with my thumb. She moved around a bit before snuggling into me even more, which to be honest I didn't think was possible. Although with Casey nothing's impossible. I let out a deep sigh before I realized I didn't know why I was in the hospital. I thought back to the last few days. Let's see, my dad and Nora announced the news about going to Disney World, I was writing a song for Casey, we broke a lamp and got grounded. That's when it hit me. I had fallen on Casey's night stand, at least I think it was her nightstand. I glanced at the clock, it said 3:32 a.m. I should probably go back to sleep they're not going to be up for a while.

**Later that day**

I woke up to the smell of coffee. It was my favorite smell, sometimes when I was little I would take out the ground coffee and just smell it. I never liked the taste of it though just the smell. I glanced at the couch only to find it empty. I glanced at the clock again and noticed it was 10:00 a.m. my dad and Nora are probably at work and had probably taken everyone else home with them. I glanced down at my chest and noticed Casey wasn't there, she probably went home too. I suddenly had the feeling of loneliness, my family and girlfriend had left, I was all alone. That's when I heard a small noise coming from beside me. I looked over and found Casey asleep in a chair beside me with a coffee at her feet. So that's why I smelled it so strong! "Casey? Casey, wake up." I said, my voice was a little weak from not talking plus I'm thirsty. I heard a low moan as she swatted her hand like she was trying to swat a bug and turned over to the other side. I laughed silently. "Casey wake up!" I said it a little louder this time. Her eyes opened slightly as she said in a tired voice. "What do you want?" She wasn't looking the right way either. "Case over here." She turned her head in my direction and her eyes turned from sleepy to as wide as saucers. "Derek?" She asked in disbelief. Geez how long had I been out?

"Yes Casey?" I asked her casually. She ran over to the bed and climbed into bed with me and wrapped her arms around my neck as she snuggled into me.

"Your awake, your finally awake." She mumbled into my chest.

"Yeah Case I'm awake. Wait what do you mean finally? How long have I been out for?" I was starting to get nervous. Casey probably sensed my nerves because she said,

"Derek, relax. You haven't even been out for a full 24 hours. I've just missed you so much that it feels like it's been forever." She said as she nuzzled back into my chest.

"I missed you too Casey. So what happened?"

She looked up at me in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"I mean the accident. How bad did I get hurt?"

"Oh. You just got a scratch on your back. It was pretty big though and a little deeper so they had to give you stitches." I nodded not knowing what else to say.

After a few minutes Casey spoke up. "I almost forgot to ask, How do you feel?"

I shrugged. "I feel okay, I mean I have a little pain in my back."

"I'm sorry baby."

"It's not your fault, but you can do something to make me feel better." I gave her my famous smirk hoping she'd catch on. She did. She leaned in closer to me and planted her lips on mine. I slowly tried to lift my arms around her waist and found that I couldn't, it was too painful. I could tell Casey sensed my pain because she pulled away and gave me a worried look, she didn't even have to say anything her eyes spoke for themselves. I gestured to my arms with my head.

"Try to sit up." she said after a moment.

"What does sitting up have to do with my arms?" I was completely confused, I had told her my arms were hurting, not that I couldn't sit the less I followed her directions and sat up. It sent a ton of pain through my back but I still did it.

"Now why'd you ask me to sit up when I told you my arms hurt?"

"So we could continue doing this." She kissed me on my lips and wrapped her arms around my neck. That's when a light bulb went off in my head. I wrapped my arms around her waist and found that I could do it with no problem. Casey's a genius. She almost wrapped her feet around my back but stopped because she must have remembered my injury. I was too involved in the kiss though to feel pain so I lifted her legs and put them around me and luckily she didn't argue. I moved my hands up and down her sides going over her curves, this was one of if not the best I've ever had. Just as I thought that Casey's cell phone rang. She pulled back and untangled herself from my body. She stayed on the bed though and snuggled up to me.

"Hello?" "Oh hi mom." "Your what?" "Yeah he's awake." "Okay see you in a bit."

I gave her a look that said 'Well?'

"They're coming up, the whole family." She said as she got off the bed and sat in the chair beside the bed.

"We need a topic of conversation, anything." Casey said.

My eyes were frantically looking around the room trying to find something we could talk about. My eyes finally rested on the coffee cup and that gave me an idea.

"We could about different smells we like." I said as soon as the idea popped into my head. Casey looked at me as if I had ten heads. "What?" I asked.

"How'd you come up with that idea?"

"I saw the coffee cup and I immediately thought about how I love the smell of coffee."

"Okay. Since i can't think of anything else we'll go with your idea. I guess I like the smell of cinnamon."

"Oh yeah that's a good smell, I like the smell of chocolate." She giggled.

"But my favorite smell is the smell of you." She smirked at me and planted a small kiss on my lips right when the door opened.

A/N: I know I know why smells I just thought of it, it fit the coffee thing! Okay so please review! It means a lot to me. By the way sorry it took a little while to update, I've been kinda busy!
