This chapter contains one of my favorite characters in the show, who I apparently forgot to include earlier; I don't know what I was thinking. Oh, and sorry this chapter's short too, due to time restraints I had to take some things out but as a result this story gets more chapters.

Paul was sitting at his desk, sipping his coffee while reading the newspaper, when the door opened. Looking up to see you just came in he almost spit out his coffee.
"Hey Paul" Casey said as she sat down in the chair across from Paul.
"Ca-Cas-Casey, what are you doing here?" Paul finally managed to ask putting his cup and newspaper down.
Looking at him confused, Casey asked, "Uh, what do you mean, Paul?"
"You haven't been in here for, what is it, months now" Paul explained still looking surprised at his unexpected visitor.
"I know Paul, I'm so sorry. It's just been so crazy lately that coming here hasn't even crossed my mind, I completely forgot…" Casey began to apologize.
"It's okay, really, Casey" Paul interrupted hoping to calm her down. "So what brought you here today?" Paul asked
"Well, a little while ago I got into a huge fight with Derek and now I promised my mom I'll stop pressing the 'Derek you're my best friend from the past' issue with him." Casey said quickly, stopping to take a quick breath, "Now, George is set on us bonding, so last night we had to talk about our adoptions, but in the…" Casey continued but stopped mid-sentence by Paul.
"Wait a minute…Derek's adopted?" Paul asked "I see that's a big development" Paul said intrigued.
"Yeah, it is. But that's not all" Casey responded.
"There's more" Paul asked.
"Yep, recently I got a call from my friend Jess, who was in the same foster home with me. She said that she remembers there being two Derek's. The two of them were friends but I was only friends with one of them and didn't get along with the other." Casey explained.
"Two?" Paul asked stunned.
"I know, I completely forgot but as soon as she told me, it started coming back, but, I still can't stay for sure if I'm right about Derek." Casey said.
"What about your friend, Jess, does she remember?" Paul asked her.
"No. But she still talks to Anne who still talks to Adam who still is friends with one of the Derek's. The best part is, she got his phone number." Casey explained, excited about this new development.
"So you're planning on calling him, right?" Paul assumed.
"Yep, I'm calling him tonight." Casey confirmed.
"Well, good luck" Paul wished Casey.
"Thanks, Paul" she replied getting up and leaving, closing the door behind her.
Thanks for reading.
