A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry I haven't updated but I've just been super busy! But anyway please enjoy chapter 7! : )
Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek.
**Casey's P.O.V. **
"Derek come on we're going to be late!" I yelled from the garage. Derek and I are supposed to drive to the airport together but if he doesn't hurry up we're going to miss our flight! "I'm coming!" I heard Derek's voice from the top of the stairs.
"What did you have to get anyway? I mean our suitcases are in the car."
"I just wanted to make sure I had everything." He said jumping from the top of the stairs.
"Please, since when do make sure of anything?" I said in a teasing and also suspicious voice.
"I just want to be more responsible," He said in a mature voice.
"Please Derek, you and responsible don't even fit into the same sentence." George said coming out of nowhere.
"Now Casey are you sure you guys have everything you need because we won't be able to rush anything over to you."
"Yeah mom I'm sure. I triple checked all our suitcases." I said, knowing I was going to get a remark from Derek.
"You went through my suitcases! Geez Case I know you think I'm hot but isn't it a little stalkerish to go through my stuff?"
"Shut up Derek I didn't check your suitcases." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah alright Case, we'll go with that."
"Der-ek! You are so annoying! I hate you!" I stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind me. Derek, surprisingly, was right behind me. The rents probably wanted him to apologize to me.
"Look okay the rents are watching me so I'm really really sorry. Can you please forgive me?"
"No but thanks for the apology." I gave him a smirk, not unlike his. It didn't seem to amuse him because he pushed past me and hopped into the drivers seat. Then he started pulling away without me! "DER-EK!" I called after him. He either couldn't hear me or he was ignoring me. I'm going to go for the second one. I quickly whipped my phone out and sent him a text. This will get him to come back. I closed my phone with an evil smirk on my face.
**Derek's P.O.V. **
I was laughing my head off. I had left Casey at the house, she had looked so mad! She's always so cute when she's mad. The only thing is I hope she's not too mad. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rang telling me I had a text. I pulled over to the side of the road to check my phone because my dad had always said not to check texts when driving. The message was from Casey.
I cannot believe you left me here! U r such a jerk!
I don't know y I ever fell 4 u. we r over!
-Casey
Oh my god, did Casey really break up with me or is this all some joke to get me to come back? If it is a joke she'll probably make me beg for forgiveness and then tell me she was joking. She'd probably get it all on video too and then show all my friends. I will not be embarrassed like that! But then again if it isn't a joke and I don't go back I could lose Casey forever! Well I lost Casey once and I'm not going down that road again so I'm turning back, even if it means she could possibly put me begging for forgiveness on the internet; only if it's a joke though.
**Casey's P.O.V. *
I checked my phone to see if Derek had gotten my text. He had, so he should be home in a couple of minutes. I had to act angry and upset, after all we had "broken up". I figured I should wait in the kitchen, so when he came through the door I would be right there. First I had to fake cry, which is pretty easy for me. I've always been a great actress. I got the waterworks going in a matter of minutes, just in time for Derek to come home. Luckily I had had the time to grab a big spoon and ice cream. I always ate ice cream out of the tub when I was upset.
**Derek's P.O.V. **
When I walked into the kitchen I saw Casey with a spoon eating ice cream out of the container. That was never a good sign because she only did that when she was upset. Or maybe she just couldn't find a bowl. I kept convincing myself that it was only because she couldn't find a bowl until I saw a tear, it was one lone one that landed right on the spoon and trickled down it. My heart ached because I knew I had done this. I hadn't done that much but Casey's always been very sensitive and this isn't the first time I've been a jerk to her in this relationship. "Casey? Are you ok?" I was still at the door, to afraid to take another step. My eyes were frozen on her, waiting for her to respond.
"Just leave me alone Derek! I hate you!" I looked at her tear streaked face and then looked into her eyes knowing I could find the truth there, and I did. Her eyes spoke the same words her mouth had. They burned with a strong hatred but were softened by heartbreak. "Casey the rents are gone you can give up the act." I said keeping my cool even though on the inside my heart was being torn to shreds.
"What act? There is no act, Derek." I could see in her eyes she meant it. Those words pierced me like knives. I could no longer feel. My heart was pounding, my palms were sweating. The room was spinning. I felt the same way I had on the boat when we broke up. "Casey." My voice cracked as I said her name. "I'm sorry."
"I don't want to hear it Derek." She said before turning and running up the stairs, tears still falling from her face. My knees gave out and I fell to the floor. There were now tears streaming down my face. I never cried. My heart was torn. As the tears slowed, I reached into my pocket and took out the locket I was going to give her when we got to Paris. I opened the locket and looked at the picture of me and Casey on the boat. I remember that day. It was the first day we had started dating. "It's really over." I whispered to myself before breaking into another cry.
A/N: Cliffhanger! sorry but I had to do it! But again I'm really sorry for not updating sooner but like I said I've been really busy and I had writer's block! Grr.. I hate it!
