Wake up
Disclaimer: I don't own LWD
The seventh time
Location: Queens, Dorm
She woke up gasping for air. Something was wrong. She had the worst dream. No- a nightmare.
Edwin and Lizzie were playing street hockey against Derek in the front of the house. She was sitting on the steps enjoying the sun. They heard the roar of an engine up ahead and all ran out of the street. All except for Marti who had been chasing a butterfly around absentmindedly. It was a red sports car going way too fast for a residential area with no intentions of stopping (some people are so impatient and in a rush.) So he jumped in front of Marti pushing her out of the way from the speeding car. She ended up scrapping her knees, but no real harm done. she was safe.
He wasn't. After his body hit the front bumper his body was thrown up in the air from the impact as the red car sped off. Then his body came crashing down. He was killed on impact. A lethal injury to his spinal cord. And the car drove off... The paramedics came with their sirens and flashing lights. But there was nothing they could do would save him. "I'm sorry." They whispered as she kenneled next to his body crying holding onto what was left of him.
She was almost in tears till she realized it wasn't true. A bad dream. He's alive. He's in his dorm sleeping clad in boxers, she reminded herself trying to catch her breath.
She tried and tried for hours but couldn't go back to sleep. Tossing and turning until 2 am. She finally gave up hopes of sleep and dialed his number at rapid speed (even though she could have easy just redialed- he always tend to be her last call)
" You. Here. Now!" she demanded in a shaky voice.
"You. Are. Nuts." He replied half asleep. But his voice reassured her. Oh how she missed that voice. Even though it was mearly hours since they last spoke. That bad dream really freaked her out. It made her think about life without Derek and how different that would then she came to a conclusion that she never wants to find out what that would be like. NEVER
"If you don't come over right now, I'm going there. Your choice. Make it in 5 4 3 2-"
"Your annoying!" he mumbled.
"Der-ek!" she yelled.
"Do you know how hard it is to sneak into your dorm room at this time?"
"You've done it before. Work your magic or I'm going to attempt to work mine," she said determined.
He sighed giving up. "Do you really need me there? You can't just talk to me on the phone?"
"No I can't sleep. I've been trying for hours. I had a bad dream and…"
"And what Casey?" he asked getting worried.
"And it was a nightmare. And every time I close my eyes I see it." she said
"What was it Case?"
"Just please Der." She whispered trying to blink back tears.
"Alright. I'll be there."

He walked in and tore off his hoodie exposing his bare chest. "Shut up. I was rushing," he responded without her even asking. She was sitting up and visibly tense. He sighed going over to her and laid between her legs, resting his head on her lap. "Tell me," he started.
And so she told him every detail that was haunting her sleep.
"Case, it was a bad dream. It didn't really happen. I'm right here." He said allowing her fingers to touch his face tracing each of his features. She smiled.
"Thank you." She whispered bending down to kiss him softly.

"Casey." He whispered to the girl in his arms.
"Mhmm" she responded.
"Be mine." He said with a smirk on his face. She laughed. After all it was morning of February 14th and of course he had the day planned! (So he was winging it but she didn't need to know that)
"I thought I already was," She said turning to face him. He smiled.
"Well, I was talking about being my valentine. But I like your idea better," he said before attacking her lips.
"Happy valentine's day Casey." he muttered into her hair.
"Happy Valentine's day Der." She whispered back.
"Wait um… just making sure (because I know you're psycho,) were exclusive, right?" he asked pulling away. Because this was Casey and she needed things done her way.
She laughed nodding, flipping him over.
An:I know I haven't updated and I'm sorry. Two reasons:Ive been pretty busy (its spring break and Ive been running around a lot.) Finally today i got some time at home alone. I already wrote the next chapter as well. And the other reason, i was hopping to get at least 3 reviews on the last chapter. I don't think i got 3 but I'm updating anyway to let you guys know that I wont update the next chapter (that's all ready written!) until i get at least 3 reviews. I think that's pretty reasonable. Anyway, let me know what you guys think of them finally being official.
