Author's Note (must read): Hey guys! Thanks for all of the reviews! You know I love them to pieces Also, about the chapter, I know it wasn't exactly how it would normally go in the real world (real world meaning the one you and I live in) but hey, I had to do it that way in order to fit the story. So sorry about that.

Oh and by the way, if you guys want another story to read, I started a co-written story with Tales from another, and it's about a typical bet but with a twist! So guys please go check it out and review! Would be greatly appreciated. Anyways, now back to the shooow.

Holding On to You

Chapter 14

(Previously on Holding On to You)

"Now I'm not sure why she seems to only remember Derek, was he the last person she saw when the accident happened?"

"No, Emily was," said Derek.

Wait, yes you were! We went to the movies! Does he not remember?

Casey suddenly opened her mouth, "Yes you were! We were at the movies." It was hoarse and her throat hurt.

Everyone turned to Derek with raised eyebrows. Derek himself turned to Casey with his eyebrow raised.

Then he spoke, "No I wasn't Casey."

(Now on Holding On to You)

Casey's eyes widened, was Derek playing some cruel joke on her or something? Of course he was the last one she saw! He had to be; they had gone to the movies!

"Yes you were Derek! We went to the movies and saw Screaming in the Dark!"

Derek continued to look at her as if she were crazy. Everyone did. Casey kept her head down and refused to say anything more. Plus her throat hurt too much.

"Derek were you with Casey?"

Derek shook his head, still looking at Casey.

"No I wasn't. I was at home, remember Nora?"

Nora nodded, "Yes, yes. You had just come home from your date."

"So then why does Casey seem to think you were?"

Derek shrugged when the doctor spoke up.

"Casey what all do you remember since the incident?"

Casey thought about it. "Well, I don't remember much… just Derek being with me a lot…"

"And that's it? Like no details?"

Casey shook her head; she couldn't recall anything, "No."

"Hm…"

"Why do you think that is doctor?" Nora asked, concerned.

"I'm actually not sure. I'm wondering if Casey may have been 'dreaming' while she was asleep. So in her dream, the last person she saw must have been Derek."

Nora nodded, "That makes sense, but what about the fact that she can't remember anything but Derek??"

"Well like I said, we'll have to do a CT scan. I probably couldn't answer the Derek part though. I could tell you however, what exactly is wrong with Casey's brain."

Nora nodded, "All right, well let's do that then."

"Okay, did you want to do it today or tomorrow?"

Nora looked towards George, "What do you think George?"

George thought about it, "Well I think we should wait till tomorrow. Casey's already had a tough day and she just woke up."

The doctor nodded, "Okay, we'll do it at 9:30 tomorrow morning. How's that sound?" Bad, I don't want a CT scan.

"Sounds okay to me. You George?"

Okay, Casey had listened to enough of this. She couldn't stand being ignored anymore. Especially to people she didn't even know!

"No it does not sound okay! I don't want to do a CT scan!"

Everyone turned to her shocked. Nora walked over to her.

"Now Casey, don't you want to know if there is anything wrong that we need to fix?"

Casey shrugged…she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Well I'm sorry honey, but I'm afraid that we are going to have to do a CT scan."

"Okay, since we have all of that settled can we have everyone head out? I think Casey needs to get some sleep," Doctor Harris said.

Sleep? I'm not even tired! But, Casey stayed quiet because she figured that the doctor was right. However, she wished that Derek could stay.

As if reading her mind, Derek spoke up, "Doc, is it alright if I stay?"

Casey looked up at him gratefully, Derek grinned back at her and tightened his grip on her hand.

"Well…as long as you don't distract Casey and your parents say it's okay, then yes it's all right with me."

"Nora? Dad? Can I stay?"

The parents turned to each other, "Think we should let him stay?"

George shrugged, "I guess so. I just don't get why he wants to…" the last part was whispered so no one could hear it.

"Yeah I don't either. But they seem to be bonding so I think we should let him stay. Let Casey have some company."

George nodded, "Okay," he turned to Derek, "You can stay. But I better not hear anything bad about you."

Derek shook his head, "No worries dad."

"All right then. Doctor we'll let him stay. Edwin, Lizzie, and Marti ready to go?"

"Can I stay too??" asked Marti hopefully.

"Sorry Marti, but you gotta come with us bud."

Marti pouted and crossed her arms, "Fine."

"All right, well come on gang. Let's let Casey rest. It's getting late."

"Bye Casey, we'll see you tomorrow okay? Right away. Love you." Nora bent down and gave Casey a kiss on the cheek and a hug- trying to act as normal as possible.

George gave Casey a hug, "Bye Casey. Love you, see you tomorrow."

Casey said bye back, being polite. She would have said 'I love you' if she knew them but she didn't.

The little girl, oh what was her name? Right Marti, came up to her and threw her arms around her.

"Bye Casey! Feel better."

Lizzie was next, "So you really don't remember us Case?"

Lizzie looked sad; Casey felt the need to be sad as well.

She slowly shook her head, "No…Sorry."

Lizzie nodded and gave her a hug before walking away. Edwin said bye to her next. When they said bye to Derek, they left and Casey finally felt comfortable.

"Well Miss MacDonald, you get some rest and I'll have the nurse come in every now and then to check on you."

Casey nodded, "Okay. Thank you."

He nodded, "No problem. Now Derek you keep an eye on her as well."

"Will do doc."

Doctor Harris left, shutting the door as he did so. Casey turned to Derek and suddenly everything became awkward. She didn't quite know what to say to him. The last thing she remembered was the kiss they had shared…she didn't want everyone to know, so she had kept it to herself.

A sigh escaped Derek's lips and he let go of Casey's hand and sat down on the chair that was next to the bed. Casey missed the warmth of his hand.

"Casey…" He took a deep breath and grabbed a hold of Casey's hand again, "Casey I've missed you so much."

"Derek how long have I been 'asleep'?"

"About five weeks Case."

Casey's eyes widened. She had been asleep that long? That couldn't be right. No one could possibly sleep that long, could they?

"Are you sure? Did I really sleep that long?"

Derek nodded, "Yeah. I was getting worried Case. It was horrible sitting here, waiting for you to wake up. Hoping, wishing- I did everything Casey."

Casey gave him a small smile.

"And honestly Casey, I really thought I was losing it. I mean, I started hearing your voice yelling my name out of no where!"

-Flash-

When Derek reached Kendra, she immediately put on a happy face.

Fake.

"Derek! What are you doing here?"

"Came to see Sam. What on earth are you doing here? You and Sam don't even like each other. Why are you at his house?"

"Um, I was stopping by to give him his homework?"

"He wasn't gone from school."

Suddenly Casey remembered seeing Sam kissing Kendra.

"Derek!" She yelled, Derek snapped his head towards her voice with confusion written on his face.

Kendra took this as a time to leave.

-End flash-

Casey's eyes widened, suddenly remembering that dream…Oh my god. Did he really hear that?

"What, what is it Casey? Are you in pain?" Derek asked worriedly, noticing her expression.

Casey shook her head, "No, no. Derek when was it exactly that you thought you heard me calling your name?"

Derek looked away, Casey felt bad for asking him but she needed to know.

"It was when I saw Kendra at...Sam's house."

Casey took a deep breath; kind of already knowing that that was what he was going to say.

"Why do you ask?"

Casey sighed, "Derek…you really did hear me call your name that day…"
