Taboo Love Chapter 4;
DEREK
"I'm home!" Derek exclaimed as he entered the Macdonald-Venturi residence and threw down his bag.
"Hello Derek, dinner's on the table," Nora answered from the kitchen.
Sighing, Derek walked to the table and grabbed his cheeseburger from the plate and sauntered up the stairs. He walked into his room only to find Edwin sitting on his bed.
"Hey D," Edwin greeted.
"Uh hey Ed what brings you here?" Derek asked mildly annoyed.
"Oh um yeah I was wondering if I could maybe talk to you?" Edwin asked with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Yeah, sure Edweirdo go ahead" Derek grumbled taking a bite out of his cheeseburger and taking a seat on his computer chair.
Edwin flinched at the nickname but continued "Well I like this girl and I really want to ask her out but I don't think she likes me in that way. What do I do?"
"Listen Ed, Lizzie's too good for you she doesn't like you so get over it okay?" Derek joked.
Edwin visibly tensed and his eyes filled with fear with every word Derek spoke. "It's not Lizzie, that's disgusting," He managed to stutter.
Derek was taken aback he was just kidding; he really didn't know it was Lizzie. "Wow Edwin, I'm sorry I was just kidding I didn't think it was about Lizzie,"
"So she might like me?" Edwin asked with an immense amount of hope in his voice.
"Uh Edwin I don't know, I mean Lizzie is family and you just can't go around telling family you want to date them, you know what I mean?" Derek asked playfully, trying to let Edwin down easy.
"Yeah, I get it. But it's just so stupid D, why can't we love our step-sisters it's not like they're blood or anything?" Edwin asked curiously.
Derek's eyebrows knitted together, he was in deep thought. 'Really, Edwin's right, why can't we be together?' Derek thought sensibly. "Ed, I don't know about you but I do not want to love my step-sister," Derek explained carefully.
"Are you sure Derek?" Edwin questioned solemnly.
"No Edwin, honestly I'm not sure what to think anymore," Derek mumbled bowing his head in shame and sorrow.
EDWIN
Edwin left it at that. He scrambled up from Derek's bed and slowly exited his big brother's room, leaving Derek to his thoughts. He tip-toed to Lizzie's door and opened it up slightly, careful not to wake her. The dim light of the hallway drifted onto her youthful and beautiful face. "Goodnight Lizard" Edwin whispered stealing one last glance before closing her door and going to his room in the attic.
DEREK
Derek laid on his back staring up blankly at the ceiling. Confused was an understatement for Derek's thoughts right now. He knew he liked Casey but could he really risk everything he had, his family, his pride, his reputation, and his maybe even his mental stability just to date Casey? Could he? Was she really worth it? These thoughts swirled through Derek's head as he lay there motionless. His eyes began to flutter. He was drifting to sleep, his final thoughts before he went to bed were 'Could he really date Casey Macdonald?' He hoped he'd find the answer soon. Maybe even tonight in his dreams. That's where he and Casey would always be able to be together without any care in the world. He smirked at the thought; him and Casey together. Finally, he drifted off to his dream land, where he would be Casey's and Casey would be his.
Reviews? Why sure, thank you! Actually reviews would be greatly appreciated.
A/N: This chapter was mostly a filler...next chapter will be better I promise!
