Chapter 3: Um, Help?"Is it my turn yet? I kind of want to skip over this part." Casey butted into Derek's story.
"Aw, you're not embarrassed, are you Casey?" Derek baited.
"No Derek I'm not, but I would think that you have good reason to be." A smile started to pull at Casey's lips. "Perhaps we should tell the audience what happens next."
"On second thought…"
"Oh, no! Derek, please! Do tell!" Connie goaded.
"Oh, let me!" Casey was only too happy to take part in Derek's discomfort. "Well, I had slept for about an hour when…"
"Ew!" Derek was only half
conscious when he felt himself being pushed towards the edge of the
bed. When he hit the ground with a loud thud, he was more than
awake. Derek groaned as he tried to stand. He was almost
positive he broke something; he had just narrowly escaped smashing
his head on the nightstand. He managed to pull himself to his
feet and slowly turned around. Casey was standing there with a half
guilty, half disgusted look on her face. He took a deep breath before
looking her straight in the eye. "Casey…" he growled at her. "Don't even try to blame that on me! You're the one that was
trying to spoon with me!" Casey cried out defensively. "What?! That's disgusting!" "Um, ya think?!" They both jumped a mile when they heard a knock at the door.
"I think it's self explanatory." Derek mumbled.
Casey stared off into space. She was definitely not going into any more detail. She had already embarrassed Derek and if she told the next part, she would only embarrass herself.
………………………………………………………………………………
Casey had woken up a half hour ago and was now in the exact
same position she was thirty minutes earlier, too scared and
comfortably happy to move. When she was thrown back into
reality after a bad dream, she had tried to get up and splash some
water on her face. Casey reached to pull the blanket back and froze.
Something was holding her back. She turned her head
cautiously and found that the wall of pillows was scattered at the
foot of the bed. She moved her eyes farther up and they landed on an
arm that was wrapped lazily around her waist. Casey's eyes nearly
bugged out of her head and her heart was drumming inside her ears.
Afraid to go any farther, she forced herself to look up once more to
find the owner of the arm. This wasn't exactly a mystery. Casey quickly settled back into her original position, immediately
trying to form a plan in her mind. 'What do I do? Oh my God, Oh my
God, Oh my God.' Wow. That sounds rational. After about
another five minutes, Casey had given it up. The position she was in
was way too distracting. Almost in a trance, she shifted herself
higher up so she could rest her head on his other arm that was
stretched directly above her. Something inside her felt a sense of
security and warmth. If she was thinking straight, this same feeling
would make her want to puke, but right now she wasn't exactly in
her right mind. So that's how she stayed for the next 20 minutes or
so. Until… Derek could feel himself waking up, but he was
too groggy to open his eyes. He shifted slightly and tightened his
grip on what he thought to be a pillow. Casey gasped and began to
panic. 'He's waking up! I'm sure he didn't get in this
position on purpose…I definitely don't want to know his reaction
if he wakes up like this.' She closed her eyes in slight regret of
her next action before she turned and forcefully shoved Derek off the
bed. "Ew!" ………………………………………………………………………………………..
"Like
I've said before, you really don't want to hear what Casey has to
say. I mean you could just as easily be amused while watching some
paint dry. I'll just take it from here…" Casey looked at Derek
with a slight sense of gratitude as he continued where she left
off. Tearing his eyes away from Casey, Derek went to the
door and heaved it open. "What?" He practically yelled at the
innocent visitor. Lizzie nearly fell backwards at the
threatening greeting. "Um…I…" Derek just stood there with his
arms folded, impatiently waiting for an answer. "Mom said she heard
some loud noises coming from your room so I thought I'd come over
and see if you guys were ok." She tried to peer around Derek to
find her sister, but he wouldn't budge. "We're fine,
ok? It was probably just the TV or something" he replied
carelessly. "Alright…" she said uncertainly. "Well,
Mom wanted me to come get you guys anyway, 'cause we're about to
leave to Planet Joyride." "It's the middle of the day!
Kind of late to go now, don't you think?" Derek had just been
rudely awakened and the last thing he wanted to do was go to some
amusement park packed with screaming kids and five hour waiting
lines. "Well, we have a pass to the park for the whole
week, so it doesn't really matter when we go. Besides, I don't
think Mom and George can take Marti's whining anymore." Lizzie
added with an eye roll. "Ok, whatever." And without
another word, Derek slammed the door in her face. "Derek,
what was that for? Lizzie didn't push you off the bed you know!"
Casey began to walk over to the door and apologize to her sister, but
Derek blocked her escape. "Speaking of being pushed off the
bed," Derek began and Casey gulped nervously. "What did you mean
when you said I was-" "Derek! Casey! LET'S GO!"
George yelled through the door. "Give us a second!" Derek
yelled back almost louder. "Coming!" Casey called and
thanked the Heavens that she had found an exit from this awkward
situation. Darting around Derek's left side, she ran out the door
and towards the elevator. Sighing heavily, he had no choice but to
follow. They all pulled up to Planet Joyride ten minutes
later. Nora ran through the rules with everyone at the entrance to
the park, though it pretty much went in one ear and out the other.
"Please have someone with you at all times, I don't want any of
you wandering around the park by yourself!" Nora repeated for the
seven billionth time. "I guess we can go now…" she began
hesitantly and everyone immediately speed walked off into the park.
"Ahem. I'm talking here." Derek said as if it were obvious that his voice should be the only thing heard.
"Well, you already interrupted me when I was telling the story so it's only fair!" Casey replied, annoyed.
"No, I interrupted you as you were staring stupidly at the wall, Space Case." Derek shot back, equally annoyed.
Casey turned back to Connie, ignoring the remark.
"Anyway, we got into the park and…" Once
inside, Casey scanned the signs to see which direction to head first.
"Ok do you guys want a thrill ride or one of those cheesy
adventure-" Casey stopped when she looked around and realized
everyone had left. She just caught sight of Lizzie and Edwin as they
ran off towards the biggest roller coaster in the whole park and
glared at the back of Derek's head as he was currently in the
middle of hitting on a ride attendant. George, Nora and Marti were
gone as well. She sighed in frustration before deciding to catch up
with her sister. After seven hours, Casey was ready to
collapse into her grave. She had walked the entire park over three
times as Lizzie and Edwin got hyped up on ice cream and dragged her
to every ride in the park. Well, almost. She was mostly on the bench
outside of the rides. Somehow, "The Mutilizer" didn't exactly
sound like a safe attraction to her. They were heading back
towards the front of the park to leave since everyone had announced
that the park was starting to close. Casey continued to let herself
be dragged as she daydreamed of being able to go to sleep. This only
brought her mind back to what happened the last time she was in a bed
so she forced herself to keep her attention on getting out of this
hellhole. "Speaking of hell…" Casey muttered under her
breath as she saw Derek approaching from her left. Thankfully, the
park had been big enough so that she only saw him once for the rest
of the day and he didn't even notice her. Mostly because she had
ducked into the nearest souvenir shop. "Hey, did you guys
ride the Mutilizer?" Derek asked Lizzie and Edwin as if Casey
weren't even there. They nodded their heads enthusiastically and
Derek and Edwin began to discuss the finer points of the ride. "Hey, are you ok? You've seemed a little weird since this trip
started." Lizzie noticed Casey's instant change in emotion as
soon as Derek had showed up. "I'm fine, kiddo. Just
tired." Casey tried to reassure her little sister. Lizzie took a
good, long look at her and though she didn't seem too satisfied
with her answer, she shrugged it off and began pulling Edwin towards
the exit. "Come on, we gotta go!" Lizzie called over her
shoulder. Casey glanced sideways at Derek who was just
looking at her, then she started to head for the exit as well. "So eager to leave, Casey? Have you even been on one ride?" Derek
asked and she stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Yes"
she said indignantly. "And "The Fluffy Kitten" doesn't
count." He added. Casey just looked away and folded her arms. "Come on." Derek said simply as he turned around and began to
walk the other way. "Wait, where are you going? The park's
closing!" Casey cried out after him as she ran to keep up. He just
smirked and continued to walk, knowing that she would follow him
anyway. They stopped in front of a very dark, depressing,
creepy looking house that had a sign above the door that read:
"Afraid of the Dark." Casey looked up at the building with a
sinking feeling in her stomach. She wasn't too big on horror
movies. She had slept in her Mom's bed for a week after watching
"The Sixth Sense". Derek stood behind Casey and grinned.
He could see her frame stiffening and the fear sinking in. He
couldn't resist. He grabbed her shoulders and yelled into her ear
"Boo!" Casey nearly had a heart attack as she screamed and ran
from his clutches. When she turned around, Derek was bent
over with laughter and she would give anything for a swing at him. He
managed to slightly control himself as he stood up and walked over to
Casey. "You're too easy. Now come on." He laughed at
her and headed for the ride's entrance. "Derek, no." He
raised an eyebrow at her and she covered up, pretending that it had
nothing to do with the fact that she was scared out of her mind. "I
mean, the ride's probably closed by now. Our parents are waiting
for us." "The ride's still open and no one's here so
we don't have any lines! Come on, and don't be such a chicken."
Derek held the door open and waited for her to follow him inside. She
just stood there, biting her lip and staring up at the house
anxiously. "Bawk, bawk, baaawwwk!" Derek mocked her and smirked
as she took the bait and stepped inside. This girl was too proud. Derek let the door swing shut behind them and they both jumped when
it snapped shut with a loud bang. "Scared yet?" Derek taunted. "Please Venturi, you were the one that jumped." Casey laughed at
him and led the way into the haunted house, trying to appear to be
brave. Just when she couldn't
take it much longer, Casey peered over Derek's shoulder and saw the
exit sign. Dodging the last spider that shot across the hall, she ran
for the door and grabbed the doorknob hastily. "Um, Derek?"
Casey asked in a shaky whisper. "You twist and then push."
Derek instructed her. Even when she was scared as hell, she
always had time to roll her eyes at the stupid remarks Derek could
make.
When an almost realistic zombie jumped out from the
ceiling, Casey was more than willing to let Derek take the lead.
Rolling his eyes, he obliged and Casey ducked behind him as he walked
carelessly through the place. "Chicks…" he muttered as he
breezed past the mummies and vampires.
Derek just scoffed as if she were
playing a lame prank and pushed her aside. He tried the knob and
turned it in both directions, pushing and pulling. He shook the door
violently for one last test before turning back around to face
Casey. "The door's locked." He declared. Casey
closed her eyes and threw her head back in complete annoyance.
"You're a genius, honestly." Derek shrugged and shoved
his hands in his pockets. "We'll just go back through the
entrance. No big deal." He said even though he began to sound just
as nervous. "Yeah ok, we'll just walk through the wall
that automatically blocks the entrance off once you pass
Frankenstein's lair!" She shrieked sarcastically. She
looked at Derek for him to try again, but his mind was blank. She
didn't exactly seem to have a winning plan either. They just stared
at each other, eyes wide and mouths slightly opened. As if on
cue, they sprinted for the door and began to bang on it like madmen.
"HELP!"
"It's
locked." She said firmly.
