---------
Derek yawned scratching the back of his head. He had just gotten home from the party and was popped. His date had turned out to be great, in fact it had turned out pure hot. He was surprised that the girl was such a wild one. Sure, they had dated twice before but she was amazing tonight. Oh yes. They had snuck up stairs and made out or a good part of the party. Hell, Casey didn't even ruin the evening.
He stood in his room stretching. He had just gotten home, only five minutes past his curfew. Probably a record really. His door was open now that he had slipped into a pair of pajama pants and a T-shirt. Sighing he fell backwards onto the bed and relaxed. His relaxation only lasted for about a second before he heard Casey's door open and close rather quickly. Jumping up her grinned walking over to the doorway. However what he saw wasn't Casey, it was Sam. Sam buttoning up his shirt looking rather pissed off.
"Dude?" He asked catching Sam's attention. What the hell? Why was Sam in Casey's room at eleven something at night? And why does he look like he just got down having angry sex or something? Thoughts fled Derek's mind as he looked Sam over. "Why are you here?" He asked taking note at Sam's messy hair and red almost swollen lips.
Sam rolled his eyes and let out a deep 'humph' sound. He rubbed the back of his head, only messing his hair up even more then it had already been. "I… I don't want to talk about it." He mumbled pushing past Derek and down the stairs.
"Dude?!" Derek whispered screamed walking over to the stair case. "What the hell?" He asked himself as Sam walked out the front door. Derek looked over at Casey's door confused. Casey and Sam? The only thing that was going through his head was that they better not be together. He didn't think so by the way Sam was acting. It looked like Sam had gotten all worked up only to be kicked out of someone's bedroom.
Derek shook his head and walked back into his head. He didn't care, he would find out tomorrow afternoon. Right now all he wanted to do was all fast asleep.
---------------
Casey bit her lip gazing at her reflection. That Saturday morning she almost refused to get out of her bed. In fact she didn't even get up until almost twelve in the afternoon. She just felt disgusted and confused for the most part. It all made no sense what so ever but all the sense in the world. She practically cried herself to sleep. What would happen now? Sam was Derek's best friend. Wouldn't he go straight to him and tell him what happened. She groaned slamming her fist down against her desk in frustration.
She took a deep breath and stood up. She would have to face people sooner or later. Casey cleared her voice and left her bedroom. She headed downstairs to see Lizzie and Marti watching Television. Marti looked around first and smiled. "Hello Casey!!" She shouted before turning back to her show.
Casey smiled slightly, a fake smile. She looked around and saw Derek eating at the kitchen counter. Nora was doing something at the dinning room table and George and Edwin were to be seen. Gulping she walked past her mother and into the kitchen. Seeing Derek eating Cereal she realized how hungry she was. Avoiding his eyes she started to pour herself some cereal.
Derek however was watching her like a hawk. He had a million questions, one more important one. He had tried to call Sam twice that morning but he wouldn't pick up. Derek usually slept in later but today got up after him? It all was weird. "Case?"
She tensed up as she heard his nickname escape Derek's lips. She bit her tongue as she turned to face him. "Yeah?" She asked taking a seat at one of the stools across from him.
He cocked an eyebrow at her, and shook his head. "I called Sam this morning." Panic rushed over Casey but she tried to keep her cool. Derek must not have notice because he continued. "He wont pick up. You see I wanted to ask him why he was here last night." Derek said with his usual smirk.
Casey's eyes shot up at him and she glanced into the other rooms to see that no one was even paying attention to the two eldest teenagers. She looked back at him worry rushing over herself. "Shut up Derek." She hissed glancing back at her mother before refocusing on him.
Derek shook his head. "Please don't tell me you two are back together. I don't think so because he looked pretty pissed. What did you get his hopes up high and then kick him to the curve?" Derek asked, gazing at her amused by how nervous she looked.
Casey rolled her eyes and groaned. "Derek shut up. Nothing happened." She muttered. Okay, that's a total lie. Everything happened. She had decided that she wanted to have sex finally, only to find out that she was moaning Derek's name. That was far from nothing. She rested her face in her hands and hated herself for another moment.
Derek rolled his eyes and stood up. "God, I really can't stand your Sam drama." He mumbled walking into the living room and claiming his recliner like always.
Casey whined looking over her shoulder at Derek sitting in his recliner. She couldn't possibly actually want anything to with Derek. Sure, he was cute at times but seriously! The guy drank from the bottle, he burped, he was rude, and naïve; as well as tons of other negative things. Why in the world could she moan his name when with Sam. Maybe it was only a one time thing. Yeah, maybe she was drunker then she thought. Her head did hurt. Yeah, she was just extremely drunk.
She shook her head not believing herself for a moment. Standing up she left her uneaten Cereal and headed towards the door. She needed to think. She had a lot of it to do. So, she headed down the streets to get away and take a walk.
------------------
As his phone started to Vibrate Derek snapped out of it. He had been intently watching a hockey game for about an hour. He stood up and walked over away from the television and Marti playing with her tea set. "Dude, What's up?" He asked having already read that it was Sam. He stepped outside and onto the front porch, not wanting to talk in front of everyone else.
"Derek.. I'm just…. Watching television. You tried me this morning?" Sam's voice came from the other line.
Derek rolled his eyes and chuckled. "yeah like a million times." he muttered a bit annoyed.
Sam sighed deeply. "Sorry, I was sleeping. I was tired."
"Yeah, please tell me why your tired? Could it be perhaps that you were with Casey until eleven at night? In her bedroom. Alone." Derek said as if it was the clearest thing in the world. "What the hell was that all about?"
There was a pause before Sam answered. "It was nothing."
"What's up with this nothing crap. Casey already tried that one on me. Didn't believe her, don't believe you."
"Why do you care?"
Derek chuckled, "Maybe because I don't want to deal with you two moaning about stupid relationship crap again."
Sam couldn't stand Derek's choice of words. "Look. We're not together again. It was… a one time thing."
This caused Derek to stop. "What?" He asked sounding disgusted. "Did you sleep with her?" He screamed under his breath into his cell phone. After a long pause Derek lost it. "DUDE! Please tell you didn't! That's just… DUDE!" He shouted causing a neighbor who was walking her dog to turn and look. Derek however couldn't care less. He was too busy being grossed out, or at least that's what he sounded like. "Why would you do that? She's my…. She's my step sister!"
Sam finally spoke up to calm Derek down. "I didn't. WE DIDN'T!" he shouted finally causing Derek to stop his rambling. "Look. We didn't end up doing anything. I left before anything happened."
Derek secretly thank god. It was bad enough his best friend had dated Casey, if he was also sleeping with her Derek might loose it. "So, what are you trying to say? That you intended on fucking her?" Derek asked brutally. He was still rather angry with it all.
Sam chuckled. "Well…. Why do you care, Eh?"
Derek stopped short. "She's… its Casey!"
"Whatever. I got to go."
"Wait! Why did you leave all angry?" Derek just had to ask it before Sam hung up.
There was a long pause before Sam spoke up, "I don't want to talk about it. I have to go." And with that, he hung up.
Derek shut his phone off and pushed it back into his pocket. What the hell was going on. Sure. Sex was sex but come on! Why did Sam need to go there, again. Derek hated it the first time and he didn't need it again. What annoyed him the most was the fact that Sam practically admitted that he had fully intended on screwing Casey.
-----------------------
For the rest of the weakened Casey practically stayed locked in her room. It wasn't until Sunday night that she finally ate with the rest of the family. She had pulled the sick card and of course Nora believed her. So she came down and took a seat across from Derek who was to busy shoving his face to notice her.
"Casey! I'm guessing your feeling better?" Nora said as she took her seat.
Casey gazed over at her mother and nodded, avoiding Derek's direction at all coast. She felt so embarrassed every second around him. She still had no clue if Sam had told Derek or not. He had plenty of time to. She just figured the worst.
Derek gazed over at her and rolled his eyes. "Yay! We all scream for Casey!" He said sarcastically before taking a drink of his soda.
Marti shot Derek a glare. "Its not Casey. We all scream for ice cream Smerek. Get it right!" She stated demandingly.
Derek threw his arms up, singling that he was giving up. "Sorry Smarty." he said flashing her a smile.
Casey gazed up and watched this act. Derek was always so sweet towards Marti. It was adorable, every time. "Yeah Derek. Duh." She said laughing for the first time all weakened. Marti was always adorable and had a way of making people laugh. Curse her.
"What are you laughing at Bimbo." Derek said mockingly, throwing a French fry across the table at Casey before shoving a few in his mouth.
"Gross, Derek!" She gasped flicking the French fry, which had landed on her chest and in her hair slightly. She shivered in disgust as Derek just set there laughing.
Casey gazed over at him to see him Smirk. That smirk. She rolled her eyes sitting back in her chair. She was no longer hungry anymore. The hole Sam event just came flowing back to her. Even with all her thinking she still had no reasonable excuse for herself. However, she did know one thing. When Monday came, she would find Sam and deny it all. Make it seem like he was going insane and loosing his mind. Yeah, that had to work. Casey thought. Right?….
-------------------
Derek grinned as his cell hone buzzed and he received a text message from his current flame. Reading it over he replied quickly before looking back up at Ralph who was talking about his grandmother's new house. The guy seriously needed a life. "Ralph. You seen Sammy boy yet?" Derek asked flashing a grin at a passing girl.
Ralph paused, "yeah. Casey and him were on the front steps talking." He grinned. "Looked pretty hot and heavy two. You know Sam went home with her after the party right?"
Derek closed his locker rather loudly. "Thanks for reminding me." Derek muttered walking off towards the front of the school.
-------------------
Casey sighed giving Sam a pleading look. "Come on Sam. This hole thing is stupid and rather gross If you ask me. Maybe you jut had to much to drink."
Sam rolled his eyes and rested his elbows on his knees. They were sitting on the front step of the school. Most of everyone was already inside but Casey had stopped him and pulled him off to the side. Sam rubbed his face. "Casey, I don't want to talk about this."
"I do! I don't want you thinking those things about me. It's just… wrong." Casey said placing her hand on his knee and gazing up into his eyes. "Please. I never meant for any of this to happen. I was…" She smiled shyly up at him. "Enjoying it."
Sam gazed at her. He wasn't sure what to believe. Maybe he had heard wrong. Maybe he did drink a bit too much and started hearing things. It just.. Sounded so real and solid. Maybe he heard it in his head or something. Which didn't make much sense, but none of this made sense.
Casey adjusted herself so she was kneeling before him and gazing straight at him. "Please… Sam, this is stupid. I feel.. I don't know. Was I not… what you expected or something?" She asked him a bit ashamed that she being this low, making him feel bad about the whole thing. But what else was she going to do? Tell him the truth? Tell him that she was thinking about Derek when she was about to have Sex. No. Defiantly not.
Sam shook his head. "No. Casey. You were…. Were, great. I don't know. Maybe I did hear wrong. But it wasn't you. You were amazing." He said smiling at her, hoping that would assure her. "I was in total lust. Like any guy would be with someone as…." He gazed down at her body. "As beautiful as you."
Casey smiled, a fake smile. She didn't want to be called Beautiful. Why couldn't Sam be more…. Dangerous. "Thanks… I really was enjoying it. I wanted to… well. You know." She said looking down. This was true. She fully intended on loosing her virginity to him. So what. She didn't love him but he had been her first real boyfriend, and a amazing guy.
Sam smiled and scratched his forehead. He let out a soft chuckle before replying. "Well.. Maybe.." He was cut off with his name being called.
"Sam! Oh, Sam!" Derek called out as he walked down the steps and over to where the two of them set.
Casey darted her eyes away from Derek and to Sam. God if your real you will let Sam forget about this and never mention it to Derek. Please… Please please! Casey set their silently pleading with god. She gave Sam a warningly look but not a pleading one. She wanted to act innocent but still let Sam know it wasn't cool to tell Derek.
Sam cursed Derek for ruining the moment, Again. "Derek…." He said frustrated. He stood up as Casey did. "What is it?" he asked looking at Derek.
Derek gazed at Casey and then back at Sam. "Just wanted to know where you were. There's a hot blonde inside who asked where you were." Derek lied through his teeth. Wait? He didn't want Sam and Casey to get back together, and from what it looked like they were having a warm and fuzzy moment. Which wasn't cool at all.
Casey shifted her weight from her left foot to her right. This was just awkward. She was afraid of looking at Derek but wanted Sam to get the impression he didn't effect her. "Um… Maybe I should… Go." She said laughing softly.
Derek nodded and grinned. "Maybe. Me and my buddy here have some catching up to do." Derek said placing his arm over Sam's shoulder.
Casey rolled her eyes and tried to act as normal as she could. "You do that." She walked past them and towards the front doors.
Derek called after her. "Don't trip. We don't want their to be another Klutzilla attack!" he grinned watching her reaction.
She growled under her breath. "Derek! Just shut up you idiot!" She then stormed off into the school to leave the boys to talk.
Derek chuckled crossing his arm. "Ahh.. The sign that I won." He said satisfied.
"What sign?" Sam asked looking at Derek with annoyance. Ever since that night he some what regretted Derek and got annoyed at the mention of his name. Even though it wasn't even the guys fault. Its not like Derek knew about it, let alone wanted to.
"Her shouting my name. it's the soul reason I annoy her. Once she screams it I know I got under her skin." Derek stated to his friend. This was so the wrong thing to say.
"Screw off." Sam said rolling his eyes and walking away from Derek.
Derek looked confused. "What? What did I say?" Derek was left confused and dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
