After four long weeks in the hospital the doctor finally allowed Casey to go home. She was finally able to stay awake for long periods of time. She couldn't wait to get home but she knew there was going to be a party and that Max would have so rudely invited himself, she really didn't want to see him.
Casey sat in the waiting room for the emergency room. Someone should be picking her up soon. She just didn't know who.
"You ready to go?" she heard behind her.
Slowly she turned around and there was Derek standing with his back against the wall. "Yes" Casey said grabbing her suitcases and walking out leaving Derek to look like an idiot. "You coming?" she yelled back.
"Yea" he said shaking off the fact she made him look and feel like an idiot and running after her.
"Let's get out of here." she said handing Derek her suitcases. Which of course he just threw in the trunk of the car and then threw himself into the driver's seat.
"Let's go Klutzilla." Casey hated that name and wasn't in the mood to hear it now but instead of getting angry she got into the passenger seat and buckled up.
Pulling into the driveway Casey didn't even wait for the car to stop moving she jumped out of the car and ran into the house.
"Surprise!" everyone yelled when they saw her.
But Casey didn't stop there she knew that Max would be waiting for her in her room right now she just wanted him out of her room and out of the house.
"Hey beautiful." Max said.
"Get out! Just because I was in that accident doesn't change things between us." Casey hadn't noticed but she was started to raise her voice.
Derek, who was on his way to his room, overheard what was going on and decided he wanted to hear how it ended.
"Come on Case it was a mistake me and Sally got caught in a moment.....for a few moments actually but I mean..."
"Max GET OUT we're through."
Max, realizing his defeat, walked out of Casey's room, down the stairs, and out the door.
"What was that all about?" Derek asked showing that he had been eavesdropping.
"Max cheated on me."
"With some girl named Sally or what?" Derek asked hiding the fact that he knew Max had been referring to his Sally.
"Derek he was cheating on me with your Sally. I'm sorry this probably hurts you as much as it hurts me."
"Nah I've got a lot more girls lined up no use crying over losing some stupid, smart, beautiful, sensitive, uh dumb blonde girl."
"Derek you are so insensitive. You're just like Max get out of my room and stay out of my life." Casey said pushing Derek out and slamming the door behind him.
She didn't really want Derek out of her life she was just angry that Max could cheat and Derek would support it.
