CHAPTER 12: Tripped And Fell So Deep, I Can't Come Down

Emily sat there, jaw open. She was still processing this. Emotions were flying through her head. She looked at him but said nothing; wishing, wanting, hoping that she had just imagined this entire moment.

"I'm sorry. It sorta just happened." Derek said finally, after the silence.

Emily snapped to attention. This was real. This was reality. Anger and confusion flowed through her but she didn't know what to do, what to say. How to explain to him her emotions. She managed to scrounge some words together.

"My best friend… How could you?"

"Look, Em-"

"Save it." She leaped off the swing and started walking back to the entrance.

Derek chased after her. "Wait," he grabbed her wrist and she turned.

"Just leave me alone, Derek." She pulled it away from him and broke into a slow run.

"Emily, wait!" he chased after her again. She stopped and turned around.

"What?" she barked, turning around to face him. He noticed that tears were filling her eyes.

"I don't want you to be mad, you just need to listen-"

"Mad? Oh I'm not mad." Derek breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm pissed, Derek. I can't believe that you would do this to me."

"I didn't want it to go this far, Em."

"Don't you 'Em' me, Derek."

"Just let me explain, Emily. Please,"

"Why should I?"

"Because you don't know the half of it. Do you know how hard I fought with myself to tell you 'I love you'? I wanted to tell you. I wanted you to be happy! But I couldn't, and I'm sorry. I didn't want to lead you on; believe me, I didn't."

"That doesn't change this, Derek. It doesn't change that you lied to me, that you led me on. It doesn't change how much time I spent thinking about you, hoping that you'd like me too. Do you know how much that hurts?"

She walked back towards him, until they were face to face. "Do you know how much you hurt me?"

"I can't imagine how it must feel for you. But I never meant to hurt you, Emily. I don't want to lose you as a friend."

"Should've thought of that before this," she turned and walked away.

But before she could take three steps, Derek reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.

"Let go of me,"

"Listen to me,"

"No, let go of me!"

"Not until you listen to me!"

"Let go of me!" she cried.

"No!"

"I hate you, Derek! I HATE YOU!" She began to hit his chest. She punched and hit him with all she had. She hated him, and wanted him to suffer.

Derek didn't flinch. Hockey had helped him toughen up, so to him, this was nothing.

Her attacks got slower until she bursted into tears. Derek wrapped his arms around her, as she leaned into him. She didn't care right now that this was Derek comforting her; she just needed someone to do it.

And they just stood there; Emily crying, and Derek comforting her.

"I never wanted you to get hurt," he restated again, his voice softer.

She pulled away and wiped her eyes. She had stopped crying.

"Then why did you do it?" she asked.

"I don't know." He sighed. "Maybe to try to talk myself out of loving her,"


Derek drove the car into his driveway, putting it in 'Park' and taking out the key. It was a silent ride back.

Emily got out of the car. She was about to close the door when Derek began to speak.

"Are we still friends?" he asked.

She nodded, but didn't say anything. She just closed the door, and walked towards her house.

Derek watched and waited until she entered her house. Once she did, he got out of the car.

He shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked to the front door and entered the house.


Nora looked up from the pile of assorted letters, bills and flyers that were spread across the kitchen table.

Derek hung up his leather jacket on the hook. Lizzie, Marti and Edwin were all on the couch watching T.V

"How did it go tonight?" Nora asked.

"I don't wanna talk about it," he sighed.

"Sounds like he got dumped," Edwin whispered over to Lizzie. She giggled.

Derek rolled his eyes up the stairs and headed straight to his room.


Casey opened her closet doors and peered inside. She needed something to wear tonight.

She finally decided on white graphic tee, a pink plaid sweater and a black ruffled mini skirt.

As she stripped off her sweatshirt, she walked over to the mirror. Staring at her reflection, she pulled off her sports bra and her eyes fell down to the bite mark. It wasn't as bad as it was yesterday. Bit by bit, it was getting better, but she still couldn't look at it. She put on a different bra and slid on the rest of her clothes fast.

Daniel would be here any minute now.
