Sorry it took so long for me to update I've been so busy with school since finals are coming up and I haven't been doing so well in school but i wanted to post this up. It's pretty long compared to what I usually write but I really like how it turned out. Hope you like it too! ♥
XXXXXXXX
"Derek, it is Emily on the phone. Trevor was attacked!" Nora cried out.
Both Derek and Lizzie were in shock at the realization that just hit them both. David was watching her and he hurt Trevor because he thought he was a threat to him getting back Lizzie.
"Derek, talk to Emily please, she's on the verge of tears and I have to go." Nora said shoving the phone in her oldest step son's hand before walking out of the room. She was worried about Trevor as well but she had no choice but to go to work. She had to take care of her family and she had to be in court in a half hour.
She turned around and saw that Lizzie was there in some what of a daze and her skin was turned into a sheet of white.
"Honey, are you okay?" Lizzie's mom asked her daughter which sorta brought her out of her shock.
"Yeah mom, I'm fine." She answered in a monotone still not looking at her but looking at nothing.
"Okay…well call me and let me know if there's any news." She said as she walked out of the house.
Lizzie barley heard her mother's words but she just kept replaying everything that's been happening today.
Derek not talking to her.
Her and Edwin some what getting along.
Trevor surprisingly coming over to play soccer.
Derek giving her those weird looks.
Marti wanting her and Derek to play married.
Derek kissing her.
And now she finds out that Trevor got attacked by David. This was all too much! How is one girl supposed to deal with all of this at one time?!
Meanwhile Derek wasn't doing much better either.
"Derek I'm so scared for Trevor. He says he's fine but I can see it in his eyes he's still a little crept out." Emily said softly so scared for her friend.
"Emily you have to calm down. Are you at the hospital?" He asked softly. Emily was a good friend of his and he could tell she was really upset. He had to go over there and make sure he was okay. Since Casey ditched her she's been so distant to everyone and he tries to be there for her but he can tell she's trying not to get attached to anyone but she still needs people.
"Yeah I'm in the waiting room." She says softly sniffling as she wiped her nose with her sleeve.
"Okay I'm going to be right there. I'll probably have to bring Lizzie too. She was with him a couple hours ago." He explained
"Oh…okay. Thank you Derek." She whispers gratefully in the phone.
"No problem Em. I'm here for you." He says before he hangs up the phone.
He looks at the phone as he sighs. This was going out of control; he has to deal with David before he hurts anyone else.
He looks at Marti who was sitting on her bed with tears in her eyes. He knows his Smarti was very caring and hated it when people were sad or hurt and she always liked Trevor the couple of times he came over when he and Casey were still friends.
He sits on her small bed and wraps his arms around her and she starts crying more when she's in her big brother's arms.
"Hey don't cry Smarti, Trevor's going to be okay." He whispers as she clings into him for her dear life.
"Promise?" She mutters looking at him with the tears shining in her eyes.
"I promise." He smiles and hugs her tightly before letting her go.
"I have to go the hospital Smarti but I'm going to drop you off at Sam's so you can play with his sisters, okay?" He said gently and she gave a small smile. She does like playing with Sam's little sisters and he wants her to be in a better mood.
"Okay." She said some what cheerfully as she started going through her cloths to change into.
He watches his sister sorrowfully. If Marti was feeling this bad how could he imagine how Lizzie was feeling?
He got up from his sister's bed and walked out of her room to find Lizzie right next to the stairs just staring out. She looked like she was in a catatonic state.
"Liz?" He whispered softly looking to see if she would react to his voice.
She said nothing but look straight ahead as she remembered everything.
Trevor and her playing soccer; they were having such a good time. Him being so uncomfortable not wanting to go inside because Casey was there. Derek's soft lips softly grazing hers.
"Sport we have to go to the hospital; Emily needs us to be there for her." He said and his hand touched her cheek and he felt her flinch.
"We have to go." He repeated.
She finally looked at him and her eyes were as blank and unreadable as his usually are.
"To be there for Em." She clarifies in nothing but a mere whisper.
"That's right." He says smiling softly stroking her cheek not knowing that he was touching her bruised cheek and was some what hurting her and he sees her smile sadly.
"Okay lets go." She says as she starts walking down stairs while rubbing her sore cheek. She was going to have to put on more makeup before she left.
"Marti! Come on, we have to get going!" Derek called out
XOXOXOX
The way to the hospital was short and completely awkward. Once they dropped off Marti at Sam's the two didn't speak at all and Derek was going crazy.
He wanted to talk to her about David; he knew he had to or else she'd really get hurt and he had a deep feeling in his gut that he already has and if he finds out he did; that mother fucker was going to die!
When they reached the hospital they quickly got out and Derek called Emily to find out where she was.
"I'm on the 3rd floor. The waiting room's a few doors down when you get off the elevator on the right side." Emily said softly so happy that Derek was there but couldn't let him know that.
"It's on the third floor." Derek told Lizzie who just walked over to the elevator without saying a word.
When they got to the floor Derek walked ahead of her because he knew where Emily was and he wanted to get to her to make sure she was okay.
He saw her sitting alone in the small waiting room with her hand on her face. He knew she was upset about Trevor but he didn't know she was that bad.
"Emily?" Derek called out to and she snapped up and looked at Derek with happiness in her eyes for a split second before they just went back to being completely miserable.
"Hey Derek, hey Lizzie." She said sadly still sitting
"Hey come here." He said softly grabbing one of her hands and trying to get her to stand up. She did as she was told and was surprised to have him hug her tightly.
"It's going to be okay Em." He promised her
"I hope you're right." She said
"I'm always right. I'm Derek Venturi." He joked which made her smile a little.
"Come on Em. Please don't be upset. Trevor's going to be fine." He says hating that she was so upset and it's so hard for him to deal with people he cares about crying.
"He is fine. He didn't lose consciousness but why would someone do that him?! They didn't even rob him or anything they just beat the shit out of him no reason! Who does something like that?!" Emily shouted
"David Roberts." Both Derek and Lizzie thought at the same time.
"I'm…I'm going to go and see him." Lizzie said softly leaving before anyone could say anything.
Derek watched her go and wanted to stop him but Emily needed him right now.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to do." Emily confessed
"What do you mean?" He asked as they both sit down facing each other.
"I can't lose another friend Derek. I just can't." She finally said the words she's wanted to say for the longest time.
"Look I know you're upset about how you and Casey sorta fell out but you have plenty of friends and you are not gonna lose them so easily. You're not going to lose me so easily." He said and she looked at him and some what smiled but her hurt and doubt and depression was still there.
"Derek do you remember what I was like before Casey came to this school? I was a no one; I had no friends, I was the ultimate loser. The only reason Sam talked to me when he saw me in the halls was because me, you, and him were friends when we were little and he felt sorry for me! I'm friends with Trevor because of that bet you made with Casey and I'm friends with you because you're Casey's step brother. Lets face it, if Casey never came here I'd still be a no one." She cried out shaking her head remembering what her life was like before the McDonalds moved in next door; it wasn't pretty.
Derek didn't know what to say. There was nothing to say to make her feel better because in a way she was right. He sorta remembers her before Casey went to school and he never really took too much notice to her. She was always alone and was always quiet in the little classes they had together. He remembers when they were little though and her, him and Sam always had so much fun together. He wished he never abandoned her when they reached the end of middle school. He's mostly at fault when it comes to her misery.
"You're right" He admitted sadly before looking at her and taking her hand in his and looking at her straight in the eyes.
XOXOXOXOX
Lizzie slowly looked through Trevor's hospital door window. Oh my God! He looked like he was in a lot of pain. He had a black eye and she could see all the bruises and cuts over him and it broke her heart knowing it was all her fault.
She knocked softly and waited until she heard his low and scratchy voice tell her to come in. She walked in and was on the verge of tears.
"Hey Liz." He said softly. He remembers what that guy attacked him said and he knew it in his gut that guy was talking about Lizzie and he was going to find out what was going on.
"Hey. How'ya feeling?" She asked as she sat down on the really uncomfortable chair next to his bed.
"Not so bad. I'm waiting for the police to come and take my statement." He said sitting up looking to see what her reaction would be.
She looked at him some what scared and some what guilty. She knows something; that much was obvious.
"What did happen exactly? I mean ….I just saw you not even two hours ago." She explained when he gave her a weird look. Oh God what if David said something about her?!
"I got attacked like a block from your house at the Peter's Street alley. I don't know the guys just grabbed me and started beating the shit outta me saying something about how some girl was his. It was really weird but he sounded like he was either drunk or high." Trevor told his story.
"Or both." Lizzie thought bitterly to herself. This was all her fault she should have never went out with David even if he was so nice to her before they started going out. The whole situation did seem a little weird. Why would a junior want someone like her without some sort of motive?
"That's horrible Trevor. I'm so sorry this happened to you of all people." She said with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"It's not your fault Liz." He said truthfully. Even if that guy was talking about her it's not like Lizzie was actually his; she wasn't dating anyone.
She gave him a small smile.
"I got to go I'll see you as soon as I can. You take care of yourself." She told him kissing his cheek not wanting to hug him because of his injuries.
"I will if you will." He smiled but she could see the seriousness in his eyes.
She nodded as she walked out of his room and she wiped the tears from her eyes. She walked back to the waiting room but stopped when she heard Derek talking.
"You're right" Derek admitted sadly before looking at her and taking her hand in his and looking at her straight in the eyes.
"If it wasn't for Casey; me and you wouldn't have been friends like we are now; but in our world's that Casey is long gone replaced with whoever she in now." He said
"A bitchy slut." Emily joked giving him a grin making his laugh a little.
"Right a bitchy slut. We are friends now though; and it's not because of Casey; it just took Casey for me to see how much you mean to me as a friend and how much I wish we could be like we were when we were kids." He said smiling and she gave him a smile too before wrapping her arms around him.
"Thanks Derek. I love you. You're the best friend I could have right now." She whispered in his ear so Lizzie didn't hear.
"I love you too." He said as they broke apart and kissed her on the cheek. Lizzie heard him that time and as much as she thought it was sweet how Derek was being there for his friend she couldn't help but feel a little pang of jealously.
"Sorry to interrupt." Lizzie said as she walked in the waiting room and Emily gave her a friendly smile.
"It's okay. How's Trevor?" She asked as she remembered her friend.
"He's okay. He said he just waiting for the police so he can give his statement."
"Did he tell you what happened?" Derek asked
Lizzie looked at him as she subconsciously moved her hair over her bruised cheek.
"No." She lied.
"Oh, well I'm going to go see how he's doing. You don't have to stay Derek; I'm sure Liz wants to get home." Emily said getting up and standing by Lizzie.
"Yea okay." Derek said walking over to Emily and giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek as a goodbye. He usually would never do that to Emily because he hates any kind of PDA but Emily needs him right now.
She smiled and gives Lizzie a small hug before walking to Trevor's room.
"Ready to go Sport?" He asked Liz not really remembering that he's supposed to be mad at her; this has just been a long day.
"Yeah." She muttered as they walked their way to the elevator to get out of the hospital.
As they made their way to the car Lizzie said nothing.
"I heard you were with Trevor today." Derek said trying to get her to talk to him.
"Yea we were practicing soccer so I'd be ready for the team." She answered immediately not wanting to talk to him.
"That was nice of him." He said not wanting her to know he was the one who asked Trevor to do it in the first place.
It was his fault he got Trevor mixed up in this.
Just then suddenly; Lizzie looked at him.
"Can you drop me off at the park? I think I'm going to call Amanda and talk to her." Lizzie asked him
"Are you really going to be there with Amanda?" He couldn't stop the words coming from his mouth even if he wanted to.
"Yea I wanted to tell her I was sorry." She lied and surprisingly Derek pulled over once they reached the park.
"Liz." He called out to her before she could get out of the car.
"Yeah?" She asked him confused.
"Please promise me you'll be careful?" He said with worry in his eyes. If David already attacked Trevor he could attack her at anytime and that scared him shitless.
Lizzie looked at Derek and she knew. She knew he knows everything…well maybe not everything but he knows a lot more then he's letting on. She leaned in closer to him and kissed him softly on the lips before pulling away.
"I promise." She said before getting out of the car and walking to the further end of the park.
Derek watched her go. She kissed him.
He placed his hands on his lips. They felt warmer and he could still taste her lip gloss on his lips.
"She kissed me." He muttered to himself as he drove off.
Once Lizzie saw he was gone she took out her phone.
"I'm at the park. Come and find me lover." She said darkly and hung up before he could say anything.
"Come and find me David." She muttered angrily and waited for everything to end and she knew this was the end.
And she wasn't going down without a fight.
