Disclaimer: I do not own Life With Derek

A/N: Ummm this came from a Life With Derek forum that I found. It's for GJ7B.X's challenge to write 30 oneshots. None of these are related to each in anyway, other then they're LWD. None of them will be rated higher then T.

Hope you like them!

Thanks to Chica De Los Ojos Café, ilovederekventuri91, Lady Liln, controlledbysoftball, SilverianRose, DaniMarie92and Marosesonfor your reviews :)

Not really sure how I feel about this one. It didn't flow like the others did. It was a lot harder to write out.


Well I'll Tell You My Friend One Day This World's Going To End

Derek stood in the corner, eyes dark and jaw tightened.

He watched Lizzie dance with her "perfect" boyfriend. Why couldn't she see what every one else could? Sure Chad had the looks, the charm and everything Lizzie wanted. If you leave out he thought he owned her.

Sam came up and put a hand on Derek's shoulder, "Derek, what's up with you?"

Derek nodded towards the dance floor.

Sam glanced over briefly and shook his head, "She still hasn't broken up with him?"

"No" Derek growled.

"Why not?"

"Hell if I know!"

Derek sighed, "I don't know what's going on in her head. I tried talking to her a few days ago."

"And?"

Derek gave Sam a "Are you stupid?" look, "What do you think?"

"What are you going to do?"

"She wants her "perfect prom" with her "perfect boyfriend" Derek sneered, "You really think I'm going to mess that up?"

Sam sighed and leaned against the wall next to Derek, "I see what you mean. So why exactly did you rope me into chaperoning this place?"

Derek's body tightened as Chad pulled Lizzie back to him when she tried to leave, "That son-"

Sam jumped in front of him, "Ah, that's why."

He looked over his shoulder, "Look, she's fine. She's laughing see?"

Derek scowled and looked away.

"Nothing to worry about."

Sam's wife Julie came up to them and slipped an arm around Sam's waist, "Come dance with me?"

"You gonna be okay dude?"

Derek nodded, "Fine."

Sam took Julie's hand and led her to the dance floor.

Pulling his cell phone out, Derek tried calling Casey again. She was in a dance compaction that was traveling the world, and had been gone for the past 6 months. Derek wanted to tell her what was going on with her sister, but he knew she would freak out and try to rush home. He thought he could handle it, he thought he could get her to see what everyone saw.

He was wrong.

He looked up just in time to see Chad practically dragging Lizzie out of the room.

And she wasn't laughing.

Derek dropped his phone and took after them, nearly running Sam and Julie over as he past.

"Derek?" Sam called as Derek ran out.

"Stay here" Sam whispered to his wife before running after Derek.


" Chad this isn't funny." Lizzie whimpered as he pulled her out the front door.

"Stop your worrying. It'll be fine."

Lizzie tried to pull free, "You're hurting me!"

Chad jerked her to him roughly and slapped her across the face, "I haven't even started" he sneered.

Tears filled Lizzie's eyes as she put a hand to her face.

"He promised"

He started for the track field and Lizzie's eyes widened.

"No"

"Derek was right about you" she whispered.

Chad laughed and shoved her to the ground, "Yeah pretty much."

Lizzie opened her mouth to scream but Chad shoved his hand over to mouth and leaned down to her ear, "Scream and you're dead."

"Why are you doing this?" Lizzie cried.

"Because I can."

"HEY!"

Chad turned and was met with a fist to the face.

"Keep your hands off my sister!"


Derek bolted out the door and looked around, "Where the hell are they?"

Sam appeared next to them, "Where'd they go?"

"I don't…." Derek's eyes lit up "Track field."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

They both took off running.

"There!" Sam pointed in front of him.

Derek felt his blood boil as he saw Chad shove Lizzie to the ground.

"I'm gonna kill him."

Sam winced at the tone of his voice, knowing he was completely serious.

They both stopped a few yards away and quietly walked up behind Chad. Derek saw Chad reach for the front of Lizzie's dress.

"HEY!"

Chad turned and Derek punched him right in the jaw, "Keep your hands off my sister!"

Chad flew backwards but quickly got up, feeling his jaw, "You're gonna have to do better then that Venturi."

Derek kept his eyes on Chad as he knelt next to Lizzie, "Are you okay kid?"

"Yes" Lizzie whispered.

"Good."

Sam took off his jacket and wrapped it around the young girls shoulder, "Take her back Sam."

"But Derek-"

"NOW!"

Sam helped Lizzie to her feet and she grabbed Derek's hand, "Derek I am so-"

"Later Lizzie. Right now, I have something to take care of."

Chad cracked his knuckles, "Bring it on hockey boy."

Derek inwardly rolled his eyes, "What is it with McDonald woman and football guys?"

Lizzie followed Sam back to the school while Derek and Chad started circling each other.

"Lizzie's not here to save your sorry ass anymore" Derek sneered, "I've been wanting to do this for a long time."

The rushed at each other and Derek ducked as Chad swung at his face, but missed the punch to his ribs. Spinning back around he got Chad on the eye then duck under and gave a swift kick to the back.

Chad stumbled then turned and face Derek again, "Where the hell did you learn to fight?"

Derek shrugged, "Well when one your baby sister's is a black belt, you pick up a few things."

"So testy over one girl. From what I hear, you went too different."

Derek glared, "I was nothing like you are. Does it make you feel like a man? Hitting a girl?"

Chad smirked, "I get it now."

"What? That I'm about to rearrange your face?"

"I could never figure out what your problem with me was Venturi"

"How about the fact you tried to rape my sister?" Derek snarled.

"You were jealous"

Derek's jaw dropped, "What the…where the hell did you get an idea like that? That's my baby sister you freak!"

"Well you did screw the older one….so why stop there?"

Chad started laughing and Derek's eyes went cold.

"You're really, going to wish you hadn't said that."


Lizzie paced the floor of the principle's office. As soon as they and Sam had gotten back, the went straight to the principle and told him what had happened. Moments later they were in the office and he was on the phone with the police.

"What if he's hurt?"

Julie frowned at her, "Are you serious still worried about that jerk?"

Lizzie's eyes widened, "No! Of course not. I was talking about Derek"

She looked back and forth between Sam and Julie, "How could you think that?"

"Well I-" Sam started but Julie cut him off.

"It's rather easy actually. Derek has been telling you for the past 4 months that guy was jerk. But you refused to listen. Until he almost rapes you of course"

Lizzie flinched and Sam tried to cut in, "Julie, honey-"

"No Sam. She needs to hear this. Right now, Derek could be seriously hurt! And all because you wouldn't listen."

Lizzie covered her face and started sobbing. Julie sighed and put her arms around her, "Liz, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, but you needed to hear that."

"Oh I know" she whispered. "I can't believe how stupid I've been."

Flashing lights ran by the window, "Looks like they're here." Sam opened the door, "Let's go."

Julie and Lizzie followed Sam outside where they were greeted with the principle and two officers, "We found two young men in the field" the first officer stated.

"One was getting the hell beat out of him."

Lizzie gasped, "It wasn't Derek was it?"

The second officer pointed to the patrol car, "Go see for your self. We've got the other one in handcuffs. The ambulance should be here soon."

Lizzie held Julie's hand tightly as she walked down to the car. Taking a deep breath, she opened it and sighed in relief to see Chad passed out on the back seat.

"It's not Derek!" she called up to Sam.

Sam nodded and turned to the officer explaining what need to be done with Chad.

Lizzie looked around, "Where's Derek?"

Julie pointed behind her, "There he is?"

Lizzie spun around to see two officers bringing Derek towards the school, in handcuffs.

"That's Derek!" Lizzie cried. She hurried up to the officers talking to Sam, "Please tell them to take him out of handcuffs. He saved me."

The second officer eyed her a moment before pulling out his walkie-talkie. Lizzie didn't wait to hear him talk; she took off running towards Derek.

"Derek!"

The officers got the handcuffs off just before Lizzie reached them and she threw herself into Derek's arms.

"Derek I am so sorry!" she sobbed.

Derek kissed the top of her head, "You're safe now. That's all that matters."

Lizzie pulled back, "You are the best brother I could ever ask for."

Derek smirked, "What about Edwin?"

Lizzie gently touched Derek's left eye, "Edwin may be my best friend, but he wouldn't get a black eye for me."

Derek smiled and pulled her to him, "Let's go home kid."


Finally after all the questions were answered and Chad was taken to the hospital in handcuffs, Derek called George and Nora to tell them Lizzie was spending the night at his place.

They drove in silence until Lizzie finally flipped the radio on.

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say your right again,
Say your right again
Heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has found.

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
Its coming round again.

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..

Derek reached over and turned it back off when he saw Lizzie had tears running down her face.

"Liz..."

"How could I have been so stupid?" she whispered.

"That doesn't matter now"

"Donesn't it?"

Derek smiled, "Nope. Just like in the song Lizzie. "Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end." Tonight it ended."

Lizzie bit her lip then smiled, "Thank you Derek."

Derek just nodded and they drove the rest of the way in silence.


After he parked, Derek tossed the keys to Lizzie, "Unlock the house. I gotta check the mail."

A few minutes later Derek found Lizzie flopped down on the couch, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"What's up kid?"

"Why didn't you tell Mom and Dad?"

Derek smiled, "I think you've had enough excitement for one day."

Lizzie smiled back, "Thank you Derek."

Derek dropped down next to her and handed the remote, "I think I've had enough mushy stuff for one day too"

Lizzie giggled.

"Find a hockey game."


"Good morning!"

Derek groaned and rubbed a hand over his eyes, "It's too bright to be morning" he grumbled.

"You do realize that's an oxy moron right?"

"Again with calling me-"

Derek's eyes shot open to see Casey standing in front of him with a smile.

"Hey" she said softly.

Derek jumped out of his seat and tackled her, "You're home!"

Casey laughed as he spun her around, "Miss me?"

"Could you two keep it down?"

Derek looked over to see Lizzie slowly opening her eyes, "Why are you-Casey!" she exclaimed and leaped up, "You're home."

Casey detangled herself from Derek's arms and hugged her sister, "Yes. But I must say coming home to see my sister and my husband sleeping on the couch together wasn't exactly what I had in mind."

Derek and Lizzie sputtered, "No! It's not-"

"Casey, you know that I would never"

Casey cut them off with a laugh, "Relax you guys."

Her eyes softened, "Sam got a hold of me, and told me everything."

She brushed hair out of Lizzie's face, "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I am now. Thanks to Derek"

Lizzie smiled proudly at him, "For once I'm thankful for an older protective brother."

Casey lifted Derek's chin, "Did you put anything on that?" she asked looking at his eye.

"No"

Casey smacked him across the arm, "Idoit!"

Derek just grinned and pulled her into a deep kiss.

Lizzie smiled as she watched them. Realizing she didn't want the most successful, the cutest or the sweetest. She wanted just what her sister had been able to find. Someone like Derek. And she hoped that one day, she could find him too.
