Chapter Nine- If You Care About Me
I took a bus to work, since walking would be too far.

When I got to the office, I asked Tessa what time it was.

"10:48am."

Shoot.

"Where've you been?" Tessa asked curiously.

I didn't say anything.

"Lauren's totally freaked out. You left your cell at home, and your keys were missing," Tessa added.

I nodded.

"Lauren's in her office. Tell her you're okay, that you're not a ghost," Tessa said.

I nodded again, then went to find Lauren.

I pushed open her door, "Laur---"

I was pulled into a tight hug.

"Oh my god, Casey. Where have you been? I was worried sick. I was---"

"Lauren---Can't---breathe---"

Lauren let go of me.

"Sorry," she said sheepishly.

"It's okay."

"So where were you?" Lauren asked, hands on her hips.

"Out."

"That tells me so much," Lauren said sarcasticly.

"I know. Doesn't it?" I said, before walking out of her office and into mine.

I slammed my door, followed by the click of the lock.

I collasped on to my chair.

This day was not starting off well.

Then the phone on my desk rang.

"Wedding Planners of Ottawa. Casey Macdonald."

"Hey Case. I didn't mean to do that. And I'm not lying," Derek rambled.

I sighed, "I know. It was an accident."

Then Lauren knocked on my door, and said, "Some guy called Jesse called."

Derek was quiet on the other line.

I grunted.

"Look, Derek. You're getting married. We can't do this," I said pleadingly.

"Casey. I love you."

"But you're getting MARRIED."

"So what?"

I closed my eyes, "Derek. You can cheat, because you've always cheated. I don't cheat, because I care. If you care about me, you will either marry Britany, and never touch me again, or end the engagement."

Then I hung up.

I had no clue what I wanted.

Did I want Derek and Britany to get married?

Or did I want Derek to break the engagement?

All I know, is that someone's gonna be hurt after this.
