Derek and Casey are sitting outside the hotel. A policeman comes over to them and tells them that an ambulance is here and that they will be going to a different hospital than Max.

"Good." Derek replies.

"Is there anyone we can call for you while your on your way to the hospital?"

"Yes. My father George, here's his number. Here's her mother and stepfathers number, Joe and Nora."

"Alright, the ambulance is ready for you."

Casey and Derek are placed onto beds and put onto the same ambulance. Derek never lets go of Casey's hand the hold ride there.

"You really fought hard for your friend here huh?" An EMT asks Derek.

"It was nothing. As long as she's safe now."

"Well she is now and will be physically healthy in probably about 2 weeks."

"Good."

They arrive at the hospital and are greeted by Nora, Joe, George, Lizzie, Edwin and Marti.

"Oh my poor baby! I'm so sorry I let this happen to you. Oh Casey I'm so sorry."

"Mom it's not your fault."

"Dad I'm sorry I just ran off like that but I needed to save Casey."

"I know son. As long as you're okay. We'll talk later."

Derek and Casey are pushed into the emergency room. Casey immediately just passes out, so exhausted and stressed frm the whole day.

Derek's POV

I asked them if it was possible if Casey and I could be in the same room. They said yes and put us together. A cop came over to me and told me that Max was at a different hospital and he would be taken care of and charged over there. The doctors then came in to examine us. First they took Casey to have tests done and then they took me. Luckily I had only a broken collarbone and a broken arm, along with some cuts and bruises. But Casey had a broken rib, a broken arm and a slight concussion. But she's safe now and that's all that matters. Visiting hours were over so everyone left, leaving me alone with Casey. Casey slowly starts to wake up.

"Derek..."

"I'm here baby, I'm here."

"You saved me."

"Don't worry about it Case."

"I...love...you"

"I love you too."

I leaned in to kiss her cheek but she turned her head and our lips finally met. At first I was about to pull away but she reached her arm over and pulled me in close. We engaged in a kiss that was so full of passion, love, lust and so long overdue. I climbed into Casey's bed and put one arm around her and the other arm resting on her stomach because my collarbone hurt to much to move it anywhere else. She couldn't move much because of the pain in her rib but she placed her head on my good side and started to fall asleep, listening to the beating of my heart. I never want to move from this spot ever.
