CHAPTER 7: Te Amo

Sally held the phone in here hands.

She knew what Derek was capable of when he was in love. He'd literally kill for the girl he loved. And this time, he was bitten. Hard.

Sally also knew Casey. She knew that Casey hate arguing with Derek. She knew that Casey was scared. But worst of all, Sally knew that she was in love. With someone else.


Derek pushed the door open and entered the room.

"Here," he said, holding out his hand. Casey cupped her hands underneath his. He opened his fist and dropped the gold locket into her hands.

"Derek…"

"Just open it." He said, grumbling. She could tell he wasn't terribly happy.

Casey did as he commanded and opened it, and her jaw dropped.

It was dance photo from a couple years back. It was the one of her when she had gotten her solo for her jazz class. She'd thought that she lost that photo. It was her favourite.

But another photo was there; it was familiar yet not, all at the same time. It was one of Derek, smiling, when they went to the beach last month. He looked genuinely happy.

"Derek," Casey began. "It's gorgeous."

"I bought it for you a while ago." Derek smiled. It seemed like the first time in a while tonight that someone smiled.

Casey paused, placing her hands beside her on the bed as she looked up at him. "Why are you doing this, Derek?"

"I told you; I love you. You told me to prove it, and I am."

"But you know we can't be together…"

"So? Casey, I love you and you love me, and that's all that matters."

"Derek, I never said 'I love you'"

"But I see it in your eyes, Casey." He said, moving closer to her. "I see it in the way you look at me, and the way you talk to me."

Casey was speechless. How could he see that? Was she that obvious? She had tried to hide it so hard. And now all that work now meant nothing. Her only hope was to stand firm against him. Well, that and wait for her wish to come true.

The reality was she was in love with him, but even more in love with someone else. Her mind flashed back to her conversation with Sally weeks ago:

"Great news, Sally! I'm in love!"

"That's awesome," Sally responded. "Who with?"

"With the most nicest, sweetest, most amazing guy in all of Canada!"

"Michael Cera?" Sally joked.

"No, with Daniel Corbin."

"Josh's Brother?"

"Yeah!"

"So, you're saying that you're 'in love with' my boyfriend's brother?"

"Yes!"

Casey also remembered that their conversation didn't end well. Sally was super P.O-ed about that, especially when she learned that Josh knew about it and didn't tell her. Sally hated the kid; he was trouble, with a capital 'T'.

Even everyone at the high-school thought that he was bad news. He smoked, neglected his classes, hung out with the wrong people, not to mention he had a knack of breaking the rules. He acted like a badass.

But Casey had seen a different side of him; a kind, compassionate side that very few had seen. She loved that side of him.

"And the way you smile," Derek said, slowing his words as he leaned in to her. But this time, Casey didn't scream, or move away, or tell him to stop. She let him advance. Well, almost.

Casey snapped out of her emotion-daze, just before Derek's lips reached hers.

"No, Derek," she said, pushing him away. "I can't. We can't. It's wrong."

Derek pushed her hands off of his chest and moved in. "If this is wrong, then why does this feel so right?" And then, he kissed her.

Derek kissed her, sweetly and soft first, then harder and more passionate. He pushed her back, gently, laying her down slowly and pulling himself over her.

Casey kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Derek held himself over her, and kissed.

TAP!

Casey sat up, shocked. Derek rolled off of her and wrapped his arms around her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I heard something…"

"It was probably nothing," he said, rolling back onto her.

Casey pushed him off of her. "No, Derek, I'm serious. I heard something."

"Case, everyone's asleep. It's 11:17 at night."

Just as Derek was about to roll on her again, she heard it again. And this time, she knew Derek heard it.

TAP!

They both looked in the direction where the nose was coming; Casey's window.

Casey rolled out of her bed and walked over to the window. There, standing outside was the answer to her prayers; her wish come true. Daniel was outside her window, leaning against his car. He looked at her window and saw her, and sent her a 'You-coming-or-not' nod. She mouthed the word 'yes' and he winked, signaling her he got it.

Casey turned around and looked at Derek, who was now standing at the edge of her bed.

"Derek, I gotta go." Casey said.

"Why? Who the hell's out there?" He asked, moving his head to try and catch a glimpse of the person who was outside.

"Look, Derek, me agreeing to help you study was a mistake. In fact, this entire night has been a mistake."

"Casey, don't say that…"

"I'm sorry, Derek, but I gotta go."

Casey opened the window and climbed down the side of the house. Derek peered out the window. There he saw Daniel Corbin, Thompson High's biggest badass, even bigger than Derek.

He watched as the love of his life kissed his new-found enemy. He watched as she got into his car, and as they drove off.

Derek knew that at this point it would be useless waiting up for her. She could return at any time. God, he was furious! Anger swelled inside him. The thought of Casey kissing, touching, loving that loser made Derek made his anger swell even more.

"GAAH!" he screamed, punching straight through the dry-wall.

He left the room, fist dangling at his side, and slammed the door behind him, leaving the gold locket sitting on her bed.

Heya,

PHEW! That took me a while to write. I'm sorry that it took me this long to write it. I kept telling myself, "when I'm done my exams, I'll start writing again," but that didn't happen, so I decided to spend my Family Day long weekend working on this. I hope you like it! Oh, and I've also decided to write a new LWD fanfic, so if you guys look out for it, that'd be great.

I'll write again soon, Little Monsters :)

~AllYours
