DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN LIFE WITH DEREK!

When I looked away I caught sight of my leg and saw it in a cast and it made me cringe. Derek saw me cringe, "Thankfully that's the worst of your injuries."

"That's good." I spoke softly.

Derek grabbed my hand, "Are you going to tell me?"

"Not here, later" I locked eyes with him, just wanting to tell him but too weak to tell him.

Mom came in and saw me awake, "OH CASEY!!!"

"Hi Mom" I smiled and hugged my Mom.

"We're so glad you're here, with us." George chimed in joining the hug.

We talked and reminisced. The doctor came in and told us I could go home tomorrow. I was so excited just to go home, be in a safe environment, which I know and love. The day went slowly and the whole day Derek held my hand except when Mom and George came in. The time came for me to go home, they put me in a wheel chair, and then into the car and went home. I got home, used my crutches, and eventually made it to the door. I got inside and Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti ran up to me.

"Casey, I've missed you!" Lizzie said as she hugged me.

"I'm glad you're finally home, life was soooo boring!" Edwin added as he attempted to hug me.

"Casey, Casey, you've missed so much, I lost a tooth, there was a new episode of my favorite show, I paint a picture for you, and-" Marti got cut off by Mom.

"Honey, she just got home, you have plenty of time to tell her about it."

"Ok" Marti said as she skipped off to her room. Lizzie and Edwin followed but went to their separate rooms.

"Do you want to sit down?" Mom said as she shifted towards the couch.

"Actually I was thinking of going to my room." I said.

"Ok I'll, I mean we'll make your favorite dinner." Mom motioned to George as she spoke.

"I'll help Casey to her room." Derek said as he moved to my side and we moved slowly up the stairs.

"Thanks Derek." George's voice faint as he went to the kitchen with Mom.

R&R! Thanks!
