It's All Coming Back
Disclaimer: Who owns LWD….NOT ME! Haha anyway on with the story.
Chapter 4 –Our first home-
Derek's POV
The car ride was silent once 'Not Enough' came on, luckily she didn't notice it was a CD playing and I was listening to music that reminded me of her when I was coming to get her. I could see a smile on her face as she listened to the song. It was so long ago yet I still remember that night like it was yesterday.
Casey's POV
I was home, the place where my life changed so much. Derek was already out of the car and opening my door for me. He was so sweet sometimes. What sweet what am I think this is Derek! My ex-husband! This whole trip I feel is going to bring up so many things I tried so hard to forget. Once Derek opened the front door Marti came running down the stairs
"CASEY! And DEREK!" She shouted at the top of her lungs I missed her excitement sometimes. She had changed so much since the little girl she used to be. Her hair was currently brown with a purple streak in it. I swear every time I saw her, the streak was a different color apparently she still can't pick a favorite color.
She hugged Derek first and then hugged me; I assumed Derek came to pick me up from the airport before coming home. And not long after the whole family was in the living room, apparently they heard Marti.
"So good to see you sweetie" Said my mother as she pulled me into a hug. "Dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes I can't wait to hear all about how everything is going in New York."
-Ten Minutes Later- Dinner Table
Casey's POV
Here we all were sitting around the table like one big happy family. George and Nora were at either end. While Marti, Edwin and Lizzie took up the left side. Meaning Derek and I were sitting together on the right side. I was slightly nervous sitting this close to him. I mean yes he drove me here but that was different it was in a car with a little more space. Every time we moved our arms would bump.
As everyone was enjoying dinner and talking about everything I started to think about Derek and I. Sitting at this exact table in these exact spots.
-8 Years Ago-
Today was the day Derek and I were going to tell their parents they were dating. We had already been together for 6 months and decided we needed to be honest with their parents. Dinner was going normal until Derek spoke up.
"Dad , Nora we have something to tell you." Under the table I felt Derek grab my hand and squeeze.
"What did you do Derek?" George asked, I honestly thought he thought Derek got kicked out of school and I got in trouble as well.
It was me who spoke this time, "Derek and I are dating and we have been for the last 6 months. We are so sorry for keeping this from you!"
Mom chuckled a little before she spoke, "We know Casey. I mean it's kind of obvious with how you two have been toward each other since you go home."
"Wait so you're not mad at us?" Derek asked.
"No if you two are happy then that's all that matters to us" George said with a smile
And with that we all went back to dinner.
-7 Years Ago-
Here we were again at this table about to tell the family another fun exciting news.
"Casey and I are engaged!" Derek all but shouted it, I definitely thought we were going to take this slow and tell them.
"Are you pregnant Casey?" My mother asked with a worried look on her face.
"NO mom! Derek and I decided we wanted to get married and he asked me last week before finals." I told her very calmly
"Now Casey Derek you both know we support your relationship but don't you think this is all so fast I mean you just started dating a year ago. You barely know each other as boyfriend/girlfriend." George spoke very softly.
"Dad, I have known Casey since I was 15 years old and I knew I loved her when I was 16 it's taken me long enough to make her my girlfriend I refuse to wait too long and make her my wife. I won't let her get away." Derek said to his father. I leaned up into his ear and whispered, "You could never lose me Derek, and I'll love you forever."
-Present Day-
Casey's POV
I was snapped out of my little memory when I felt something bump my leg. It was Derek's hand he apparently noticed me staring off into the distance and figured I needed to brought back to reality.
"Der-ek" I screamed at him, "No need to hit me"
He just laughed and smirked at me as well as winked. What Derek winking at me! What's going on? Why do I keep thinking about all these old memories? I swore after our divorce I would forget all memories of us.
I kind of want to hear people opinions what do you think. Like it? Hate it? I promise that after this it's going to pick up. I just want people to get small little back stories of Derek and Casey. I promise you will eventually get the story of what ended Casey and Derek. Lots more to come I promise!
