The Pact

(A Dasey Fanfiction)

Chapter Six:

Max Is Public Enemy Numero Uno

Derek's POV

I was kissing Casey, kissing her sweet lips that had been personally and even from a long distance calling me since the day she left. I smiled pulling more and more at her moist lips with my own almost laughing with delight. And then as soon as it started, it stopped she pulled away looking down.

Then in almost a whisper her head turned down I heard her, "We can't do this, I can't do this." My face fell and I looked forward, "I thought you said…"

She nodded getting up and walking over to the window, "I said I forgave you for what happened Derek, but it didn't mean, I just can't." I got up walking over to her, "you can't or you won't?"

She turned around backing away when she realized how close we were, "both." I nodded turning away from her not wanting to see what may soon wet my cheeks, "Fine, my mistake I'm sorry I understand now."

Right when I was about to leave I heard her again, "do you?" I turned around and she started to walk towards me, "do you really understand, honestly Derek this isn't high school and Paige what about Paige Derek?" I frowned not understanding, "what about her?"

She quickly wiped away a tear falling down her cheek, "Look I understand that I mean more to you, but still can you honestly stand here look me in the eye and say you don't have just the slightest of feelings towards her?"

I studied her face for a moment and then I turned back opening the door, "I'll see you around Case." With that I walked out into the room I was staying in and closed the door.

Casey's POV

I felt my lip trembling as I still stood staring at the closed door Derek had just closed. I started to pace the room constantly pushing my hair and tears away from my eyes. I started finding it almost hard to breathe, but soon realized it was only due to my constant sobs. When they finally stopped I slowly walked over to the dresser's mirror looking at myself. Only I wasn't myself, I had come to the point you often hear from others that they find the person staring back at them is a total stranger. I was a complete, total stranger to myself, for I was not myself.

I was this person with constantly smeared make-up and mascara stained cheeks and for what, happiness. If what I was doing was called happiness then I would hate to see how it was to be miserable. As I wiped away my make-up and redid everything I decided that with all my power I was done crying, for the summer at least. It was an unlikely goal, but one I intended to meet.

I smiled a fake one of course, but a normal smile to others none the less. I then opened my door slowly making my way down the steps hearing others in the kitchen. I walked to the doorway everyone looking up at me, well minus Derek who was probably still hiding out. I smiled, "hello everyone, I see the pizza came, any left?"

Sam smiled at me, "Sure Ralph ordered enough surprisingly." Ralph smirked nodding, "hey ordering pizza is one of my specialties." I laughed walking over and grabbing a slice and Kendra smiled up at me speaking in a whisper only I could hear, "you okay?"

I nodded placing the pizza on a plate, "I'm gonna be." I then walked over where Max was holding out a diet dr. pepper with my name on it. I smiled taking it, "My favorite." He smiled his dimples, which was something I needed right about now, "I thought so." I grinned popping the tab open, "you thought right." I took a few bites of pizza, but let's face it I wasn't very hungry and sort of gave up on it not to long after I started eating it. I then looked over at Emily who was leaning against the counter looking down, but her expression looked like she had a lot on her mind, boy do I know how that feels. I smiled weekly before handing Max my drink and walking over to her, "Emily can I talk to you in private?" She smiled up, "sure…" I smiled another fake smile, well less fake than before, but still it's not like after what happened back up in my room I could be so sunny. I then grabbed her hand walking out to the back porch.

I smiled hopping up and sitting on the railing, "So Em what's on your mind?" She looked up smiling weakly, "Casey I'm sorry." I flashed a confused expression across my face laughing a little bit, "Um Em what on earth do you have to be sorry for?"

She looked over, "Well all this time I was being nice to Paige and uh Derek a.k.a. the recreation of slime. I can't believe he did that to you Casey, I mean I don't think I could have ever had the strength to come back here like you did if I was in your shoes, but you've got one more person on your side now because if Derek or Paige think I'm ever talking to either one of them again they have another thing coming."

I looked to the upstairs back window and could almost swear I saw Derek standing there looking out at nothing and whether it was him or my imagination his expression looked sad, so sad. I looked at Emily smiling, "thanks, but um the whole hating Derek and Paige thing, I'm done with it and you guys should be to, after all this summer is about the friendships and friendships only, well aside from Ralph and Kendra."

She smiled hugging me from the side, then she laughed, "Whatever you want Casey, but I still don't know what will happen if Paige comes around, Derek I have experience with and can handle, but her, ick."

I laughed as Emily made a pretend gagging noise and then I smiled, "Yeah well we don't have to like her, but if she's a part of Derek and he's our… my… our… friend then well I guess we have to learn to deal with her, or at least not attack her," I laughed a little at the end it was staged this whole thing was completely staged!

She smiled nodding, "Well I guess I can try to be nice to Derek and Kendra and Ralph probably can too, oh Max well him and Derek never liked each other, but there is someone who may not be so convinced." I nodded, "Sam." She smiled patting my back, "exactly, obviously him and Derek yeah not the best of friends anymore." I bit my bottom lip, "Yeah, I guess maybe I should talk to him alone." Emily laughed, "Good luck." I laughed, "Thanks I'll need it." She then smiled, "So do you want to go in and get him yourself or for me to send him out here, because I'm guessing someone," she pointed up to the window where Derek ducked his head when he saw her, "would like to come out of hiding." I laughed a little bit; guess he was there after all.

I smiled, "you might as well just tell him to come out here, thanks Em," I smiled hugging her and then she walked inside and I looked back up at the window, which was vacant again. I crossed my arms waiting until Sam came out smirking, "So what's with you and Emily being all secret?"

I laughed, "Sam what are you talking about?" He smiled walking over and sitting up on the balcony railing with me, "You know the all first I'll talk to Emily in secret then you send her to get me, what's so secret you can't say anything about it in front of everyone?"

I rolled my eyes, "Emily and I had a private conversation Sam, but it was sort of about you, well part of it anyway." He raised his eyebrow, "should I be flattered?' I rolled my eyes, "Shut up your not going to like this."

He smiled, "try me; I'll have you know I'm very open minded." I scoffed, "sure… okay look I need you… I've decided to be… I would like for this summer at least… for us all… to try and be nice to… Derek," I glanced over for his expression biting my lip.

He laughed sarcastically, "good one Case you had me going there for a second now what is this really about?" I put a hand on his shoulder, "that's what it's about, I mean I was beginning to get tired of hating him for what he did and then when I talked to him…" I stopped realizing what I had just said. Sam looked at me almost a glare, "what?"

I spoke so quietly it was almost a whisper, "before I came down I talked to him." He looked away laughing angrily, "I'll kill him." I turned him towards me, "What why Sam I mean don't you think I've hated him long enough, I mean…" He turned towards me cutting me off, "Casey what bull did he tell you this time, huh?"

I wiped a quick tear away sighing, "Sam it wasn't bull okay he's sorry for what he did and I'm sorry for hating and fighting with him for so long, I can't do it anymore Sam okay it hurts so, so, so much to constantly think about it and hating him doesn't help anything because I can't hate him it's impossible, okay it's fucking impossible!"

He looked at me now less angry and more concerned he then reached a hand up wiping away a tear, "okay, okay Case calm down, I'm sorry all I want is for you to move on and forget him." I looked up at him feeling my tears welling more with tears, "I can't." He looked away and I could tell he wasn't happy with any of this. He then turned frowning, "So all you did was talk to him, right?"

I looked down, I could tell the truth or I could lie. If I choose to be dishonest then I would be lying to Sam, the one person other than Kendra, who had been here for me through everything. However if I told the truth then I had a feeling he may stop talking to me all together, and that was scary because I needed him in a way. Suddenly I heard him, "Casey what exactly happened?"

I looked up, "I told you we talked," shit he will see right through me for sure, I suck at lying anyone could tell you that. He studied me for a moment and then lifted my chin so he could judge my eyes, "Anything else?"

I opened my mouth to answer, but nothing came out he asked me again, "Casey did anything else happen?" I looked down, I couldn't do it, I couldn't lie to him, "Sam… it was an accident."

His voice raised a little bit, "What Casey, what was an accident?" I looked up at him, "Sam after we talked, we got caught up and he… we… kissed, but I stopped it we both stopped it and now we're just going to be friends, okay, okay?"

He stood up looking down at me like he was not even mad but disappointed, "how, how could you… kiss him after what he did to you Casey…?" I was at a lost for words I looked away back up at the window and I could tell someone was listening for sure.

I looked back when Sam spoke again coming closer to me, "Well?" I looked down and then back up at him, "I… It was only a… I…" He started to laugh angrily and I could almost swear I saw his eyes watering, "You don't even know do you?"

I stood up walking over to him putting my hands on his shoulders, "Sam please okay I know your mad, but it was an accident, okay I made a mistake." He looked at me and then not smiling he said, "Fine you want me to forgive you then tell me who kissed who first?"

I backed away a little bit and looked down, "that doesn't matter." He walked towards me lifting up my chin with his hand so he could look into my eyes, "Casey did he kiss you first?" I felt myself nodding, "Sam…" Before I could finish I saw him turning around and I knew what was going on so I chased after him up the stairs, "Sam, stop it was my fault too!"

He didn't though and I found myself in Derek's doorway as Sam flung it open and Derek looked up alarmed. Derek looked at me and then Sam, "Hey guys what's going on?"

Sam barely let him finish the sentence before he pushed Derek up against the wall. I found myself unable to move, so I stood watching.

Derek's POV

Okay why the hell is Sam pushing me up against the wall? He slammed me harder into it and I yelled trying to push him off, "Dude what the hell is your problem!"

Sam started to laugh angrily and he set me down shoving me, "Me I don't have a problem you're the one with the problem, I mean do you just enjoy hurting Casey!" I looked at Casey realizing what this was probably about and then back at Sam shoving him back, "It was an accident okay she kissed back!"

Sam shoved me again, "Well duh, but if you really cared about her you wouldn't let so many accidents happen, like cheating on her," he punched me in the stomach and it hurt bad, "and when she's finally starting to get over you then here comes Derek, still with the girl he cheated on, but he has to go and kiss her too!"

I glared in pain and then when he stood back I threw my first punch at his chin and he fell backwards, it was a reflex. He then stood up touching his bloody lip, "Oh that was a big mistake."

I smirked, "Oh really then I guess this was to," I went to punch him, but he grabbed me and we started pushing each other. I could hear Casey crying, but I couldn't stop we just kept fighting and fighting.

And then that's when we did something we both will regret, we felt Casey tugging at us, but we each mistook her for the other and turned around fast both shoving her in our fighting and knocking her down. It's just when we realized who it was she was staring up at us.

"What is going, oh my gosh Casey," Kendra ran in at Casey's side. I looked at Sam and he looked at me and then I looked at Casey, "Casey I… we…" Sam started to move towards her, "Case are you…"

Casey after being helped up looked at us both glaring, "Save it. Both of you, don't even bother coming out of this room or ever talking to me again until you start getting along and stop thinking that both of you own me! Cause a.k.a. Sam and Derek you don't! Neither of you has a say in what I do, so grow up! And when you're ready for that then come downstairs and talk to me!" She then walked out of the room slamming the door. Kendra looked up at us, "Well good going idiots, but uh have fun working on the whole getting along thing," she then rolled her eyes walking out of the room as well.

I sighed falling back on the bed and glaring up at Sam, "Good going dude." He scoffed, "Um excuse me this is your fault." I stood up trying to match him, "Uh no it's your fault you're the one who came in here and attacked me." He glared, "Well you kissed Casey."

I glared back, "Well you… you…uh this isn't going to get us anywhere you do realize that?" I asked annoyed. He scoffed sitting down, "you're just mad because I'm right."

I sat down, "whatever, but seriously we both screwed up I mean we did sort of push her down." Sam looked over at me, "Yeah and now she hates us, gee thanks for making me relieve that one Derek, you're a miracle worker," he said in an enthusiastic, but very sarcastic voice.

I sighed rolling my eyes, "and I thought Ralph was the stupid one so will you just shut up and listen?" Sam rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, "hey Ralph isn't the two losers stuck in a bedroom for one and for two what could you possibly say?"

I sighed, "Okay so we both like Casey, right?" Sam looked at me suspiciously, "Who said I liked Casey?" I moaned, "Oh my god please dude everyone knows, now can I continue?"

He looked away and mumbled, "yeah whatever." I smiled, "thank you now, right now Casey basically told us she'll never talk to either one of us again, until we start getting along and apologize, right?"

He looked at me, "Oh yeah us getting along that will happen, honestly if you have a point make it already." I glared rolling my eyes again, "Well hello, we get along, we apologize, we become Casey's friends, and secretly plot to make Max go bye, bye."

Sam turned to me, "Okay as much as I like the words bye, bye and Max. I've tried the whole being Casey's friend thing, and trust me doesn't' work out all that great and besides why would I even help you when there's a chance you could get her in the end?"

I smiled setting my arm on his shoulder and he looked at it not so nicely so I moved it, "because Sammy boy it should be me or you, I mean we know it shouldn't me Max or any other loser so…" He smirked a little, "So we put aside the fact you're a jackass and work against…"

I smirked nodding, "public enemy numero uno, Max." Sam looked at me and opened his mouth slowly, "let's say I agree on this, you still don't honestly think I'll really be your friend, it will all be an act, got it?"

I smirked putting out my hand, "Wouldn't have it any other way… Sneaky." He smirked at his old nick name the last time we plotted against Max. "As would I… Scrappy," he shook my hand and then we both looked at each other.

I laughed, "Sorry about your lip," he smirked, "sorry about your stomach, so uh do you think it's safe to go down there?" I shrugged, "It won't be any safer later, I mean we might as well go now."

Casey's POV

Kendra, Ralph, Emily, Max and I were all sitting down in the family room waiting for Sam and Derek. Kendra and Ralph were self involved with each other and Emily was flipping through a magazine.

Max turned to me, "Are you sure you're okay, I swear I could kill those…" I smiled, "Calm down there Max and besides it was an accident and I'm sure they'll apologize."

Kendra laughed, "If they don't kill each other first." Emily looked up smiling, "Seriously I find this a little weird I mean back in high school if it wasn't for Derek being Crazy over Casey I would have thought they were gay for all the things they did together and now they hate each other it's just weird."

Ralph laughed, "Yeah they did make a pretty good team, remember the time they stole Max's gym shorts," he started to laugh and then looked up at Max, "oh sorry dude I forgot…" Max smiled, "it's cool, anyways high school was like a billion years ago for me."

Emily smiled, "yeah it will be even weirder for the reunion, don't you think?" I nodded, "totally, who is running it anyways?"

Everyone started laughing and looking at me and I shot them confused looks, "Uh what's so funny?" Ralph laughed, "Oh you mean you don't even know your old boyfriend Principal Tinker is in charge."

I sat up smiling and trying to hold in my laughter, "Wait Tinker is principal and…" I threw a pillow at Ralph, "he was never my boyfriend!" Ralph threw up his hands, "Okay geesh sorry my mistake your old stalker."

I smiled rolling my eyes, "So much better." Emily then smiled, "So do you guys think Sheldon will be there?" Kendra laughed, "Yeah I guess and as bad as a dancer as ever."

Emily smiled, "Kendra your one to talk your with Ralph." Ralph piped up defensively, "Hey, hey still in the room and I'll have you know all of this," he flexed, "has got the moves." Kendra smiled kissing his cheek, "Sure you do sugar lips." He smiled nodding and I giggled.

Max smiled, "So uh Casey, be my date to the reunion?" Before he could answer to people hopped down the stairs smirking. I looked up glaring, "Sam, Derek."

Derek smirked at Max, "Sorry to interrupt dude, but uh we need to talk to Casey." Sam smiled nodding and patting Derek on the back, "Yep." Okay I'm confused could they honestly make up that fast? I looked at everyone else and they all gave the same look. I then turned to Max, "be right back." He then whispered in my ear, "are you sure I mean…"

"Casey?" Sam asked and I turned around, "uh yeah I'm coming, then I got up walking into the kitchen with them crossing my arms.

Derek looked at me, "So are you okay?" Sam nodded, "yeah I mean what we did, I'm… we're really sorry." I shrugged, "I'm fine, is that all you have to say?"

They both shook their heads and Derek looked up, "We want you to know that not only are we really sorry, but we're going to try and get along, because you don't deserve our stupid fighting." Sam nodded, "Yeah, so uh forgive us?"

Derek's POV

Casey was studying us and she bit her bottom lip before slowly opening it, "I guess, but I swear you two I can easily change my mind."

We both smirked at each other in then Casey and she smiled back at us walking over and putting her hands on our shoulders, "great so I have my two best guy friends back."

She then smiled pulling us both into a hug and we smiled down at her, but when she couldn't see glared at the other. Then someone ruined the moment, "Aw great I had perfect timing, so uh Case wanna come back in the family room with me?" Max smiled leaning in the doorway. Casey smiled working her way out of our hug and walking over. "Sure," she then turned back to us, "you coming guys?" I nodded, "in a sec we're going to get food." She nodded smiling and they both walked out.

As soon as they were both out of earshot I turned to Sam, "He just totally ruined that!" Sam smirked, "yeah well you just watch your hands in that hug next time, seriously make sure it's Casey next time… wait no just keep them to yourselves." I frowned, "oh that was you?"

He nodded, "yeah, and uh dude she would have so noticed that." I backed up, "Ewe can we not talk about that dude, I mean it was you." He smirked, "Yep, so what's our first plan anyways." I smirked, "Well I was thinking…"
