BACK TO SCHOOL
The next morning she wakes up at 7 o'clock. She goes to the bedroom. She sees Casey sitting up. He looks a lot better then the day before, and he sat up on his own. He looks at her.
"Good morning! If I can walk, can we go to school then? I don't want to miss too much."
She smiles. No matter what, it's hard to say no to him. She looks at him.
"All right, try if you can stand on your own then."
To her and his own surprise, he can stand up on his own, he isn't dizzy, sick or anything. The only point of worry is his knee; it hurts a bit. But not enough to keep him in the bed another day.
"Okay, we'll go to school. Come here, I'll help you with the bondage, then you can take a shower. But be careful, don't wet your head, you can't do that with stitches. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask." He nods; glad he can go to school, so he won't be a burden to Desi anymore. Desi takes off all his bondage. She gives him a fresh pair of clothes. She smiles at him and kisses him. Then she brings him to the shower. She closes the door. She listens at the door until she hears the water running. She smiles and goes to the kitchen to fix him and herself some breakfast and packs their backpacks. When he gets out of the shower he looks very clean. She looks at the wounds on his belly. They still look a little red, but Casey assures her they don't hurt anymore. She puts on some bondage, just in case, Then he puts on his shirt and starts eating. While he is eating she makes them some lunch. Casey a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple and some apple juice. She takes a jelly sandwich, an apple and orange juice herself. She puts it all in the brown paper bags she saved for fieldtrips. Then she eats some Cornflakes and puts the empty plates in the sink. When she looks at the clock she sees it's time to leave.
"Casey, here. I made you some lunch and I found you a cap."
She smiles as she hands him the paper bag and the cap. Then she takes her own lunch. She takes the backpacks and closes the door behind them. She locks it and they go down by the stairs. At school they discover they've got a few minutes left before they've got to go to class. They sit down under a tree.
"Casey, that cap really looks good on you."
She smiles. He feels the back of his head.
"You know, it feels a little weird to have something on my head."
He smiles two. She still looks a little worried.
"Aw come on, I'll be okay. Don't worry about me."
"I'm sorry Casey. I am just worried about that infection."
"I'll be fine. Really, I promise."
Desi sighs. She knows there is nothing she can do about it. So she changes the subject.
"What's your first class?"
"Science."
"I've got literature. There is a difference in our schedules after all."
"It certainly seems like it."
Then the bell rings. Desi and Casey stand up. They walk up the stairs.
"Well Casey, I'll see you at mathematics then."
"Yeah, I guess."
He hugs and kisses her.
"Good luck Casey."
"You two Desi."
They smile and there their ways part. Delilah, who had been looking at them, walks after Desi.
"So, 'Desi', you are in love with Casey."
"Yes Delilah. And he is in love with me."
"I wouldn't be too sure."
Desi turns her head.
"What do you mean?"
"He will dump you when he got far enough."
"No he won't."
"He will. He did the same to me."
"No, you dumped him."
"Yeah, but he was planning to dump me."
"No Delilah. He wasn't. He loved you still. You were just too blind to see."
Delilah looks angry. Convincing Desi to leave Casey is harder then she imagined.
"He'll hurt you terribly."
"Better be hurt the cause unnecessary hurt."
Delilah thinks about that for a moment.
"Won't you be broken when he dumps you?"
"Maybe. But until the day we part, I will do everything in my power to help him."
Delilah looks angry. Then she walks away.
"Just wait. He'll hurt you more then you can imagine."
'What's your next class?"
"Science."
"If you even look at Casey I won't be responsible for anyone getting hurt."
Delilah looks angry and turns around again, walking towards the science class. Desi smiles and walks towards the literature class. When classes are over she walks to mathematics. She finds the seat next to Casey already taken by Delilah. She looks at Casey. He looks helpless. She nods, a silent message to Casey she knows what's going on. His mouth forms the words 'I love you'. She smiles and in sign language she says 'I love you two'. He smiles. She sits down on a seat at the other side of the classroom, the last seat available. Immediately Gabe packs his stuff and sits down next to her.
"Well, so the hero stopped protecting her little pathetic friend."
"No, the seat was taken by Delilah before I came in. She's up to something."
Gabe laughs. It makes him look handsome, but she ignores that thought. Gabe looks at her. Then he takes her head between his hands and presses his lips on hers. His tongue soon follows. Desi is too astounded at to react. Then her sense comes back. She pushes him back and hits him in the face.
"Don't you ever do that again or you will curse the day you were born."
When she looks at Delilah and Casey she sees Delilah is doing the same. Only Casey doesn't react at all, or so it seems. He is also surprised. Desi only needs a moment to figure out he still loves Delilah, even though he loves her two. She decides not to look at it, not to care. She knows Casey loves her. Delilah started this. She sees Delilah and Casey kiss several times that class. As soon as the class is over she walks towards Casey. Delilah is with him.
"Delilah. How nice to see you here again."
Delilah narrows her eyes. She doesn't look too happy to see Desi.
"Desiree. How nice to see you."
Delilah smiles evilly. Then she puts her arms around Casey and kisses him. His blue eyes look at her, helpless. Desi takes Delilah's upper arm and pulls her back.
"Don't take advantage of his slumbering love for you Delilah. Leave Casey alone."
Desi's dark eyes are on fire. She can't stand Delilah.
"And why should I? He doesn't love you. He just feels pity for you because you have no friends. And he takes advantage of your help. So I suggest YOU leave Casey alone before something happens to you."
"And I suggest you get out of my sight. You and Gabe thought up a plan to get us separated. You don't want Casey to be happy with anyone but you, but you hate him."
"No, I love him."
Delilah wants to kiss Casey again, but Desi pulls her back.
"Out of my sight Delilah Profitt."
Delilah looks angry. She looks at Casey with an evil glare in her eyes.
"Who should leave you alone Casey? You know I love you."
Delilah looks at him, playing innocent. But Desi doesn't say anything. She knows it's Casey's choice in the end. So she looks at him. Casey looks at Delilah, and knows he has only hidden her love. And then he looks at Desi. When he looks in her eyes, he gets her message.
'She hurt you before. She'll do it again. You know that. I won't hurt you. You also know that. But it's your choice. If you choose Delilah I'll go on. It'll hurt but I'll go on.'
Casey looks at them both again. Then he thinks about what the both of them did for him. Delilah gave him his first kiss. Desi helped him when he was beaten up, even got beaten up herself for him. With Delilah everyone left him alone because she's popular. Desi took care of him and even skipped school for him. When he looks in Delilah's eyes he only sees a competitive glare to defeat Desi at this one. In Desi's eyes he sees a deep love, mixed with pain. Without further thinking he kisses Desi.
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have kissed Delilah, you're the one for me. I'm so sorry."
Desi smiles. Her eyes twinkle with that smile, showing a real happiness for him choosing for her.
"It's okay, I know you couldn't help it. It's okay."
Casey kisses her. Then he looks at Delilah. Disgust lies in his eyes.
"The only thing you want, is steal me from Desi. Do yourself a favor and leave us alone. You won't be able to screw with what exists between Desi and me."
Delilah blushes heavily, and then starts a furious speech.
"Yes Casey. I want to destroy what is between you and Desiree. She is too good for you. You use her to feel comfortable, to be safe. As soon as Gabe and the jocks leave you alone you will realize you love nothing but the protection she gives you, and then you will hurt her. I tried to stop that."
She looks so furious Casey looks down. Desi puts an arm around him.
"All right Delilah, you made your point. Now get out of our sight!"
Delilah looks at Casey one last time and then turns around. She walks away. Desi knows she is going to Gabe, telling him their plan didn't work. And maybe she's going to come up with a new one. She looks at Casey.
"How is your stomach?"
"I haven't felt anything from it anymore actually."
"You got an hour off now?"
"Yeah."
"Then come on outside, and let me take a look."
He nods, and puts an arm around her waist. She smiles and puts an arm around his as well. Careful, so she doesn't hurt his stomach. They walk outside. Casey lifts his shirt, and Desi looks at the cuts. They're still a little red, but they're starting to heal. She smiles.
"You're going to be just fine my lord."
"Thank you my lady. May I show you my favorite lunch spot?"
"Certainly my lord."
Casey offers her an arm, which she gratefully takes. Casey takes her to the football field and shows her the tribune. He points out a sign at the top.
"I spent most of my recesses there, usually. The jocks don't come there, next to when they practice or play a game."
Desi looks at it.
"Weren't you lonely?"
"No, not at all. I had my lunchbag, my apple juice, and my sandwiches. It was quite nice up there."
Desi laughs.
"Now seriously!"
"Yeah, kind of. But I was almost always lonely. I had no friends. That is, not until the big alien attack. And after the press left, all my friends left me."
He looks down. She sees sadness in his eyes,
"Hey, you've got me now. And until one of us dies, the both of us won't be lonely again."
Casey smiles.
"Nope. Until one of us dies, we will always be there for each other."
Desi smiles. Though she thinks ahead a little more then she should.
'If he finds someone else.'
She rushes that thought out of her head. Casey loves her, he won't leave her. And there are no doubts about that. She smiles at Casey, and then she kisses him. He puts his arms around her, and she puts her arms around him. When the kiss is over he smiles.
"What was that for?"
"Because I love you, and you deserved a kiss."
Casey smiles again. Then he looks over her shoulder. He sees Gabe and the jocks coming towards them.
'Fuck no, hell no, please no!'
The next morning she wakes up at 7 o'clock. She goes to the bedroom. She sees Casey sitting up. He looks a lot better then the day before, and he sat up on his own. He looks at her.
"Good morning! If I can walk, can we go to school then? I don't want to miss too much."
