AN:I have decided to finish all of my incomplete stories! So here we go. My attempt to end this story which I have gotten major writers block on and I can't seem to just leave it as is. Enjoy.


"I want you to be happy." He stated clearly. She was taken back a little. Did he really want that?

"But I don't think I make you happy," he said with a smirk. Of course he was taking about what was written in her diary.

"Of course not. We hate each other. You drive me crazy!" She said sarcastically, smiling back at him.

"You really think I should be with Sally?" he asked getting off of her, taking a seat against the wall.

She got up as well and sat next to him. She bit her lip before answering. " If you love her, youll want what's best for her. Are you what's best for her?"

He stared at her intently. "Who said I love her?" he asked.

Once again Casey was taken back by Derek. "Then you're not what's best for her." She whispered staring at the floor as she absentmindedly chipped off her purple nail polish.

"Nope." He agreed leaning his head back against the wall landing with a thud. They sat in silence for a while. Eventually all the polish was chipped off and she resorted to biting her nails which Derek could not deal with.

"Stop." He said placing his hand over hers. Not quit holding it, but it was close enough. She instantly stopped, however she did debate retaliating and causing another argument. But she figured she'd give in this time.

So they sat there for silence, semi holding hands until Nora called them down for diner.

That night something changed. The idea that something more could happen sparked Casey's interest. Maybe she shouldn't give up just yet. As for Derek, the idea that he could actually have deep feeling, more than just lust, for someone was unnerving. He never thought he could give in. He always thought he'd be a bachelor dating all the pretty girls (slutty girls in Casey's opinion of course- but that was simply a bonus.)

He sighed. He thought wrong. Very very wrong. "ugh!" he yelled before falling onto his pillow. This was not how it was suppose to happen.
