Chapter 11 – "The Truth"

--

As Casey opened the door, Derek spun around. He had been pacing for a good thirty minutes.

"OH MY GOD! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?" He exclaimed.

"I went to the store," she said as she smiled up at him, "I wanted some Oreos and peanut butter."

"Cas, I've been worried sick about you. You don't have your license. What if you had wrecked? I wouldn't have even known, because you didn't think to wake me and have me drive to the store."

"But, you looked so cute while you were sleeping."

"Don't even try those little sweet talking comments with me, they do not work," he said, looking at her angrily.

"Derek! I'm not a little kid. If I want to go to the damn grocery store, then fuck, I'm going to go."

"I'm not saying you're a little kid, but…" he started.

"Yea, yea, I know. I'm supposed to think of the baby, right? Well, I'm tired of thinking of this stupid baby!" She hollered as she went into the bedroom and turned on the TV.

Derek walked in after her and sat down beside her on the bed.

"I don't want to talk to you right now," she said. She didn't bother looking away from the television.

Derek reached over her and grabbed the remote, "Tough shit," he said as he turned off the TV. "I'll sit here all night and wait for you to talk to me."

"You're such an ass hole," She snarled.

"What's with your cuss words tonight?" He asked, even though he knew it was completely off subject.

She looked at him and sighed, "I don't know. I guess being around you so much has rubbed off on me," she smiled slightly.

"Oh, look at that, a smile. That's the Casey I know."

"Yea, except that I'm not the Casey that you know; I'm completely different. I'm pregnant with some ass hole's kid and I'm still in fucking high school. Derek, I'm not Casey anymore," she said as tears slipped down her cheeks.

Derek quickly put his arms around her, "You most certainly are the Casey that I know. You're amazing. Everything about you is amazing," he smiled.

"Except for the fact that I'm a fat ass and no guy is going to want me when I look like this," she exclaimed.

"That's not true."

"What?" She asked, looking up at him.

"Well, it's not true. I mean, I know of this one guy. He totally wants you, no matter how you look. He thinks you're beautiful. He wants you bad, Casey," Derek said, shakily.

"What? Who? Huh? Are you talking about Sam? Because, he so does not count at all."

"No, it's not Sam. Just don't worry about it. You probably don't like the guy like that anyway."

"Derek, who the fuck are you talking about?" she asked, determined to get the answer out of him.

He just looked at her and bit his lip.

"Derek Venturi!" She began, staring into his eyes; she noticed that he nodded his head. "What the fuck was that? A head nod?"

"Casey, it's pretty damn obvious," he said.

She starred at him obviously confused, "Just tell me," she whispered.

Derek didn't say anything; he simply leaned into her and kissed her very gently on the lips.

The realization hit Casey like a ton of bricks. She smiled at him and kissed him deeply on the lips.

When they pulled away they were both in shock.

"Wait a second, how long have you felt this way?" Casey asked.

"Umm… for quite a while now," he replied, shyly.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She asked.

"Because, I was terrified that you didn't feel the same way and that it would just ruin everything."

"Well, no, it actually makes things a lot simpler," she smiled as she kissed him again.
