A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long, I wrote most of it already but I was caught up in work, that is what happens when you work at a supermarket near the Canadian border. Lots of angry Canadians that want your attention at all times, no matter how busy you actually are. Nothing against Canadians, my mom was born in Canada, and I go there a lot, and obviously, LwD is a Canadian show. & Not to mention I LOVE Michael Seater, who obviously, again, is Canadian. But these certain Canadians are quite annoying. Not discriminating against Canadians as a whole, just the ones who annoy the crap out of me at Tops markets. Lol But back to the topic at hand. The chapter: Its not as long as I hoped, and another reason it took me a while was because I couldn't find a way to end it, because if I ended it a certain way it would pretty much be the end of the story and I just didn't want that. Lol so I had to figure that out. Um. So read and review I hope you like it!! :) I DO NOT OWN LwD or Anything except the plot of this story!
Casey heard the doorbell ring while she was in the kitchen rummaging through cupboards trying to find something to make for lunch. She really just wanted to get her mind off of Derek, and what had just happened. She didn't want to break it off so soon with him; she still had feelings for him, but he had to learn his lesson somehow, so she broke up with him, after about five minutes. She walked over to answer the door and when she opened it and saw Sally.
"Hey Casey! Is Derek home?" Sally asked politely.
"Yes, he is, one second." She said and without moving her glance at Sally she screamed, "DER-EK!" This sound made Sally wince and her eyes bug out of her head. Derek came running down the stairs very quickly to answer the call.
"Where's the fire?!" He said quickly before noticing who was standing in the doorway. "Sally!" He said uncomfortably as he glanced at her and then quickly to Casey. His eyes were very wide and they were darting between the two girls. Casey glared back at Derek before walking back into the kitchen to finish what she was doing in the first place: Avoid Derek, while making some lunch.
"Hey Derek." Sally started as she walked towards further into the house and took off her coat before putting it on the coat hook.
"Hey Sally, umm, I don't know if this is the best time…" He said as she walked towards him and put her arms around his neck.
"Why not? What's wrong?" She asked looking into his eyes.
Just say it, you idiot! Say that you love Casey and you were wrong for leading her on, but you can't be with her. DO IT! He thought.
"Um… Well you see, I'm not supposed to have people over while my parents aren't home, and my parents just left about twenty minutes ago… so you probably shouldn't be here." He lied.
"Venturi, since when do you follow rules?" She said raising an eyebrow.
"Um… since, today?" He said unconvincingly, hoping she'd believe him and leave.
"I'm not buying. What's the real reason you don't want me here?" She asked, removing her hands from around his neck and putting them on her waist, gesturing that she wanted to hear the truth.
"It's kind of complicated." He answered.
"What's complicated? I'm your girlfriend, you can tell me anything." She said; he wished she hadn't said that as loud as she did, which incidentally wasn't too loud, he just wish she hadn't said it at all.
"Girlfriend?" Derek heard someone from behind him say, he closed his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows in discomfort.
"Casey." He said quietly before turning around, he knew it was going to happen. This was entirely his fault and he had never felt more guilty and stupid in his life.
"You know what, just save it because I don't want to hear anything you have to say." She started as she walked towards him. She then whispered in his ear, "Asshole" and walked up the stairs angrily to her room.
"What's going on here, Derek?" Sally said completely dumbstruck.
"I don't know if I can tell you. It might just make matters worse." He said looking at the floor.
"Derek, if you don't tell me, I have no doubt that things will get bad." She said getting angrier by the second. Derek sighed.
"Well… it all started about three years ago," He started, he saw Sally roll her eyes. "I'm serious; you want to know what's going on, this is what is going on!" They looked each other in the eyes and silently decided that they both needed to sit, so they made their way to the couch and got comfortable. "Alright… Casey and I met a friend's party before our parents got married. We didn't know that our parents were getting married to each other, and I was sort of drunk… we kind of… lost our virginity to each other." He quietly told Sally, her eyes widened but he motioned for her not to speak just yet. "So after, said act, we got dressed and everything, and our parents came to pick us up, by that time I had sobered up, and as our parents got out of their cars, they realized who each other were, and… we ended up finding out the truth and that our parents were marrying each other in about 5 weeks. In that five weeks, we decided to go on a few dates without letting our parents know about them… and we ended up even more upset when we realized it was inevitable that our parents were getting married. We decided that we should just break it off and go about our own lives, in the same house." He confessed.
"Well that's very interesting… but that still doesn't explain what's going on now." Sally said still not happy.
"I was getting to that… A few days ago, I told her that I still had feelings for her. It was before you told me that you had feelings for me." He noticed that Sally was getting upset, "Sally, it's not like that. Casey and I just have… history, you know? Anyways… she told me that she would think about it, and then you told me that you liked me, and I was all confused, because I like both of you… and it was just so frustrating because my heart was telling me one thing while my mind was telling me another. Then this morning Casey said she'd give it another chance with us and we started dating. I told her that you said you liked me and that I thought she should know that you wanted to give it a try too, but it just made her mad because I told you I would think about it, and I was also trying to be with her." He said, "Go ahead, throw something at me and scream in my face. Do whatever you need to get it across that I'm an idiot and shouldn't toy with people's emotions."
"You know what. I'm not going to do those things, because I know it took a lot of courage to tell me all of that." She said.
"So does that mean that we're still… together?" He asked semi-hopefully. He wasn't sure what he wanted the answer to be. On one hand, he wanted to win Casey back, but on the other, he didn't want to lose Sally.
"Oh hell no. You need to go tell Casey you are sorry and fix things between you two." She looked at him as if reprimanding him. "I knew there was always something going on with you guys, I just never could understand what was taking you both so long to admit it. I see now that you already had admitted it, you just didn't want to go for it. Why is that anyways?"
"Because our parents would never go for it, we know they would be so pissed if they found out what happened or if they found out we were dating now. Especially if we were dating now…" He said looking up the stairs, wanting Casey to come down and confess that she heard everything. No such luck. He looked back at Sally who was also looking at the stairs. Derek looked away at the precise moment that Casey appeared at the top of the stairs.
"What do you really feel about Casey?" Sally asked, smiling at her, as she noticed Derek was looking at his hands, which he was fidgeting with in his lap.
"I think she is beautiful, intelligent, strong, independent, brave, and ballsy." He started with a little chuckle at the last word, "She is everything I could ask for in a woman; perfect in every way possible. I can't imagine living without her, it just doesn't even seem possible in my eyes. I mean, even though we were broken up when she moved in here, I felt so complete with her in the house. This morning, before our fight, I just enjoyed holding her in my arms… I did have a momentary lapse in judgment, but I think that was just because I am meant to sabotage myself. Now I'll never be able to hold her, kiss her, or even look at her again without feeling guilty and that I messed everything up."
"Don't be so sure." Derek heard from behind him, he looked back at the stairs and saw the woman of his dreams descend, as it were the first time seeing her in his life.
"Case?" He asked, looking at her in disbelief.
"Yeah Derek, I'm alive, I didn't die or anything." She said smiling at him.
"I didn't think you'd ever talk to me again." He said getting up and moving over to where she stood, which was now at the bottom of the stairs.
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I never talked to my boyfriend for the rest of my life." She said smirking at him.
"Your what? Boyfriend? But… I thought you hated me." He stated looking hurt with the latter of the sentence coming out of his mouth.
"I could never hate you, especially after hearing what you really think about me." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Its all true." He said placing his hands at the small of her back and bringing her close.
"Well I sure hope so, because I don't accept lying." She said.
"Case, you know I'd never lie to you. That's why I told you about the whole Sally thing earlier. I was just being honest, isn't that what you want in a relationship." He said.
She captured his lips with hers and gave him a deep kiss before starting to talk again.
"It's exactly what I want." She said smiling up at him. He returned the smile before they heard a girly squeal from across the room.
"Finally!" She screamed.
"Thanks, Sally. I couldn't have done this correctly without your help." Casey nodded towards her friend sitting on the couch.
"Couldn't what? What are you two talking about? This was a set-up?" He said unwrapping himself from Casey and looking between the two in disbelief.
"It was Casey's idea for me to tell you that I liked you to test your affection for her and you passed!" Sally informed an oblivious Derek.
Derek looked appalled at Casey and he couldn't believe that he had fallen for something like this. More than that, though, he couldn't believe that Casey had just done this to him. He was so mixed up with anger, and confusion that he couldn't keep himself from an outburst.
"I passed?! You know what?! I don't care whether I passed or not, you just went on and on about wanting honesty in a relationship and then you come up with this crap!? That is so hypocritical!" He snapped at Casey and when he was done talking he didn't wait for an answer before waving his hand dismissively and stomping up to his room.
"What did I just do…?" Casey asked to Sally.
"I don't know, Case, but you have to go talk to him and face the music." Sally said putting her hand on Casey's arm as if motioning to hurry. Casey ran up the stairs that Derek just a few seconds ago had gone. She made her way to his room and knocked on the door.
"I don't want to hear it, Case. Just go away." Derek announced.
"I'm not leaving. I'm doing whatever I need to just to get you to talk to me about this. I'm not going anywhere." She answered, she would have just walked in without knocking, as she usually does, but she knew it probably would have just made matters worse.
"Don't hold your breath, princess." He said through the door.
Casey just sat down in front of his door, she felt a tear run down her face. She was in this for the long haul and she wasn't going to give up that easily.
