A/N: OH MY GOD! I am terribly sorry. Once again, school, and me being lazy stopped me from updating. You can thank my history teacher, he loves to give us projects and essays. Plus, I'm also one to blame. Forgive me? Well I finally got this up. And I'll try to update more quickly. Hope you like this chapter and please review.

Chapter 10

Casey's POV

Oh my god! This is so not good. I looked at Derek and bit my lower lip. He gave me a worried look too. I looked at Ralph who was just rubbing his pants and Sam who looked just as frightened as us. Then I looked back at Max, Kelly, and the chaperone Ms. Johnson. The crowd just continued to cheer for us. I looked at the audience and smiled.

"Thanks everyone!" I said with my voice a little shaky. "Good night!" With that, I grabbed Derek's hand and walked off the stage with the other band members. "Hi Ms. Johnson."

"Casey, Derek, Sam, and Ralph, I would like a word." She said sternly. I gulped and nodded. I glanced at Kelly who had a smirk on her face, and Max wrapped an arm around her waist. I shook my head at them and continued to follow Ms. Johnson. We walked into the hallway and sat in the conference room. "I am very angry and disappointed in all of you. One more stunt like that, and you'll all be going home." We all nodded. "Sam and Ralph, you can leave. I'd like to have a word with Casey and Derek."

Derek and I exchanged looks. Does she know? Oh my god! Did she tell Nora?! George?! I sat up straight in my seat and pushed my hair out of my face. I turned my attention back to Ms. Johnson. She didn't look too happy.

"Don't try to deny it. I know." She said. I sighed and looked at Derek again before I spoke to her.

"Look, I honestly don't see why it's such a big deal. I mean-"

"No big deal?! We didn't know where you were! You were there at the airport but not there at the first stop. We all panicked. And we called your parents, and they didn't know where you were either." I looked at her confused. And then I realized what she was talking about.

"We're sorry. We accidentally got on the wrong plane and we've been here the whole time."

"Well, you can think how sorry you are on your flight home."

"But you can't!" Derek shouted.

"Oh? Not only did you disappear and not bother to call anyone, you pulled off this little concert thing. Now, go and pack your bags. You'll be leaving tomorrow." With that she left the room leaving Derek and I by ourselves. I looked at Derek and cried into my hands. I heard him jump in his seat and moved to comfort me by rubbing my back with his hands. I looked up with my teary eyes.

"Its ok." He said. But that wasn't true.

"No, its not. Don't you get it?"

"Get what?"

"As soon as we get off that plane, there's no more us. We're back to being Derek and Casey the fighting step-sibs."

"We don't have to be…" he said, his face mere inches from mine. My eyes locked on his and then I kissed him. I don't think I've ever kissed him so passionately. I broke apart not too long after the kiss began.

"Yes we do." With that, I got up and left the room. I grabbed my room key from the front desk and walked into the elevator. Derek didn't chase after me, and I'm not surprised.

Derek's POV

Her words still stung as I sat there in the conference room. How could she say something like that? How could she feel that way after all that we've been through? I ran through security for her, we've gone through so much, and all for…what? Nothing. I will not let this happen. I will not lose the girl I love. My brain finally decided to work and I quickly got up and stormed out of the conference room. I walked into the elevator and just as the elevator doors were about to close, a girl came in next to me. I glared at her.

"What do you want Kelly?"

"You. Of course." She giggled. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't you have Max to go make out with?" I asked in a harsh tone. Her smile only widened.

"Is someone jealous?" she giggled.

"No. You could screw him for all I care. Just don't talk to me."

She stepped in front of me.

"What is wrong with you? Here I am, the hottest girl you'll probably ever meet, coming on to you. If you offered, I'd have sex with you right here and now." She said obviously getting impatient. "But that, that girl-"

"That girl is the love of my life. And you having sex with me in a hotel elevator makes you a whore. And hitting on me when I have a girlfriend, and doing everything to split us apart, that makes you a bitch too." Tears welled up in her eyes, but I didn't care. She ruined everything. "You just may have ruined my ENTIRE life. I- I HATE you! And no one will ever love a two-faced bitch like you!" I screamed. Tears started streaming down her face. As soon as the doors opened, she ran out of the elevator in tears. I ran a hand through my hair and walked out of the elevator and to Casey's door. I knocked on it. She opened it with water in her eyes and tears drying on her cheeks. I placed her face in my hands and I kissed her. I walked forward as I kissed her and shut the door with my foot.

Her hands slid up my chest and around my neck. I smiled against her lips and continued to kiss her. I put all of my passion and raw emotion into the kiss. She had to break the kiss for air. Our eyes locked. "I love you." I said. She smiled.

"I know. I love you too."

"If this is our last night to be together, I want to spend it with you." I whispered near her ear. She smiled and pulled me to her bed.

Casey's POV

The sun was blaring against my face. I sighed and woke up to feel something beside me. I looked to see an arm draped over my stomach. I looked over my shoulder to see Derek's sleeping face. I laid there, and then a thought crossed my mind. Oh my god! Did we do it last night? I looked under the covers to see both Derek and I were naked. Oh yeah, we did it. I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair. Great, I had sex hair. I got up and started looking for some clothes. I heard a noise and I looked at the bed to see Derek opening his eyes. I grabbed the first thing I could and covered myself with it. He looked at me with a smirk.

"Um…Casey?"

"Yes?" I asked non-chalantly.

"Why are you covering yourself with a lamp?" he laughed. "It's not like I didn't see everything last night." I glared at him. He laughed harder. I turned around to finish searching for my underwear. "Casey?"

"What?" I asked not turning around.

"Nice butt."

I looked over my shoulder.

"If I wasn't naked I would so…" I trailed off. The sentence didn't start off the greatest so I stopped.

"What are you looking for?"

"Underwear. Anything to put on until I find some new ones to put on."

"Oh, you mean these?" he asked twirling them around his index finger.

"Give them to me."

"Nah."

"Fine. Jerk." I unplugged the lamp so I could take it with me. I walked to one of my bags and grabbed a new set of clothing and walked to the bathroom. I changed into a black, pleated skirt, with a lavender colored shirt. I brushed my hair and left it down, and applied my make-up. When I came out of the bathroom, Derek was thankfully dressed. I smiled at him and he returned the smile. There was a knock on the door and I answered it.

"Ms. Johnson hi."

"Are you ready?"

I sighed. "Almost."

"Well get your brother and bring him downstairs. We'll be leaving soon." She said before leaving. I closed the door and looked at Derek. He walked towards me and placed a hand on my cheek.

"Remember Casey, I love you. No matter what."

I nodded and gave him one light kiss.
