This chapter gave me a fight. First I accidentally deleted it so I started rewriting it. Then I realized I had part of it so I had to finish it. Oh well it was worth it. Enjoy! Oh and I don't own Kelis or any of her songs

Chapter Three: Partying to The Good-Byes

Derek's P.O.V.

I crept into Casey's bedroom. It was two in the morning. I had two hours to spare. I watched as Casey smiled happily in her slept. I saw her stomach going in and out. She looked so peaceful asleep. So calm. So beautiful. No not beautiful. Defiantly not beautiful. That's just sick and wrong. I walked over to her location and gently shook her.

"Hmmm, Derek?", she asked as she openned her eyes. I smirked. She must have been dreaming about me. But hey, who doesn't?

"Derek, what are you doing. It's-Derek it's 2:00 in the morning!", she slightly shouted as she begin to frown.

"Derek? I'm not-",she started, but I interrupted her by placing my finger up against her lips.

"Listen, let's make these last two hours fun. Loosen up Case. Now I know where a party is and we should go. My buddy Greg's throwing it. Sam told me in text message.", I replied as I walked over to her closet. I openned her door and pulled out a pink cami with a black skirt and a pair of black strappy shoes. After spending so much time with girls you learn what they wear.

"Put this on.", I ordered as I handed her the outfit. She bit her lip as she looked down at the ground.

"Derek, it's not a good idea. What if we-", she sighed. Typical Casey. Always caring about being a good kid and never having any fun.

"Get caught? Nah, Nora and my dad are sound asleep. And Lizzie, Marti, and Edwin wouldn't say anything. Now come on. Get dressed.", I smirked. She rolled her eyes as she grabbed the clothes and walked out of her bedroom door. Seconds later she came back in. She had a slight curl in her hair with a light touch of make-up. Enough to cause any guy's jaw to drop. Even mine.

"Case…you look wow. I mean…wow.", I smiled as I scanned her body up and down. My head soon created another stupid thought. Now every guy at that stupid party would be all over her like a pack of wild hyenas. Apparently I looked strange because not even a minute later she spoke,

"Huh Derek? Are you okay?", she asked, placing a hand on her hip. I shook my head and looked at her.

"Yeah come on. Let's go.", I smirked as we walked out the door. I placed my arm in front of Casey. I was a pro at this. I always just to sneak in from friends' house or parties. I placed my foot across the first step and extended my two hands for Casey. She walked closer as I picked her up and brought her back down to the same step as me. I smirked as she grabbed my hand. She pulled me down the steps and to the front door.

She grabbed the car keys and jiggled them slightly. I smirked as we walked out of our home. Tonight was going to be great. Casey jumpped into the driver's seat and started the engine.

"Never knew you were so good at sneaking out.", she laughed like I never heard her laugh. It was almost like she liked being with me.

"Well you know. I have to get out for dates and in from parties somehow.", I shrugged. It was nothing new to me, but to Casey it was amazing. I looked out in front of me. She was going the right way.

"How do you know where Greg lives?", I asked. I never knew Casey paid any attention to my friends.

"We dated off and on for like a year.", she smiled. Casey McDonald dated the second biggest clown in school-me being the first. Greg wasn't the kind of guy to be in a real relationship. He was more of a one week type of guy.

"You dated Greg Fitts?", I asked. I never knew this side of Casey.

"Yea. We met through my friend Tammy and well we hit it off pretty well so we decided to go steady. And after a couple of weeks of dating he begin to pay more attention to other girls rather than me. Well after five times of breaking up I caught Lindsey Broussard and him at a party together and I ended it permanently.", she sighed. I nodded unsure of what to do. Luckily for me I was saved by the bell. We had arrived at Greg's house. I walked out of the minivan and waited for Casey in the front. We looked at the house. It was booming with music and had teens running in and out of it.

Normal P.O.V.

Derek smirked as he walked through the front door with Casey right behind him. He looked around but saw no one he knew. Everyone there was about sixteen to eighteen.

"DEREK WHO IS THIS!", Casey shouted above the music. Bossy by Kelis was blasting through the speakers.

"I DUNNO!", he shouted back. Derek had to admit this was one huge party. And he been to a lot of parties in his time.

Derek glared at a group of boys about his age coming towards them. Their eyes were all over Casey.

"Hey babe, like the party?", he asked as he smirked. It took all of Derek's mite not to knock the guy right off of his feet.

"Excuse me?", Casey asked. She was suddenly pulled in for a long rough kiss. Casey's eyes widen as she pushed him off.

"Come on baby.", he smiled pulling Casey closer to him. Derek shook his head as he stood in front of Casey. He threw his right hand as hard as possible into the guys face causing a line of blood to trail out of his nose.

He placed his hand to his nose and looked at it. "Oh you're going down.", he frowned. He threw a punch at Derek but missed.

"Okay let's get this straight. One you're drunk. Two you can not fight. And three you DON'T EVER TOUCH HER AGAIN.", Derek shouted as he threw another hard punch causing the older teen to fall to the ground.

Casey placed her hand on Derek's arm. "Let's go.", she whispered. Derek nodded as they walked out of the door. Derek climbed into the passenger side expecting Casey to go but the minivan stayed in place.

"Did he hurt you?", Casey asked. Derek had just beat some guy up for her. Of course she was worried about him and cared. She felt as if he cared about her.

"Nah, I hurt him more than he hurt me.", Derek smirked as he turned towards Casey. Why did he knock the lights out of that guy. Maybe because no one can treat a woman like that. Well except him. Although there was one thought still nagging at the back of his head. Maybe he was jealous.

Casey smiled warmly. Tonight she saw a totally different Derek. Tonight he was sincere and amazing. Casey liked this Derek. She liked his other side too. Wait no she hated him. He's her step brother. "Thank you.", she smiled.

"For what?", he asked. He already knew the answer. He just liked talking to Casey.

"For saving me. It meant a lot to me.", she smiled before starting the car engine. It was 3:30 which meant they had thirty minutes to get ready, change out of their party clothes, and eat breakfast.

The ride home was a very quiet one. Casey paid attention to the rode and keep thinking about how Derek saved her. Derek rested his head against the glass of the car window. He had a lot on his mind as well. Mostly about Casey. Why was he suddenly acting all crazy over her?

Casey stopped the car as she and Derek slowly got out. Derek walked up onto the front porch and jiggled the door knob.

"It's locked.", he whispered as he turned towards Casey. She smiled as she placed a hand in her hair and withdrew a bobby pen. She placed it into the lock and unlocked the door.

"How do you think I went on dates with Sam?", she laughed. Derek raised his eyebrows at her. Casey did so many things that was like…him! He watched as Casey removed her heels and quietly stepped up each step careful to miss the first one at the top. Derek soon followed as he headed back into his room.

Casey quickly changed into a pair of jeans with a red quarter length shirt. She placed her hair in a French braid and sprayed a light mist of perfume on her. She quickly changed into a pair of red flip flops. She added a white jacket before walking downstairs. Her mom and George was already drinking a cup of coffee with Derek on the side of them eating a bowl of cereal. Casey smiled politely as she walked over to the cabinet fixing herself a bowl of cereal. She looked over to Derek who was smirking at her. She smiled and gave him a look that said don't say anything. Derek shook his head as he went back to eating his breakfast.

Casey sat beside Derek as she begin to eat her food. Last night was horrible. She had gotten a kiss by some drunk idiot who didn't even know her and then Derek got into a fight for defending her. Derek slowly got up as he made his way to the sink. He placed his bowl into it and headed back upstairs. He walked into Marti's bedroom and walked beside her crib.

"Hey Smarti. Smerek's going to be gone for a while but know he loves you and will miss you.", he smiled as he kissed the little girl's forehead. She loved him and he loved her. Smerek and Smarti. Smarti and Smerek. Marti was the one who would always love him no matter what he did. He sighed as he slowly closed the door and walked into his room. He gathered all his bags and headed downstairs.

Casey jogged upstairs and into her room. She grabbed her bags with a struggle. As she walked out into the hall they strangely became lighter. Casey looked behind her to see Derek carrying her bags for her. She ran inside her room and came back out with her laptop as she closed her door. She went downstairs to see George for one last time.

"George I'm going to miss you. Please tell eveyone I love them and will miss them.", she cried as she hugged him.

Casey chuckled as she brushed away a tear. "And I promised myself I wouldn't cry."

"Don't worry Casey, I'll tell them. And I'll miss you too.", George chuckled. Casey nodded as she wiped away the remaining tears.

Derek moved up to his dad and shook his hand. It soon turned into a hug. Derek awkwardly patted his back. He wasn't used to hugging people and talking about feelings. That was girl stuff.

"Derek. I love you. I'm going to miss you. Be good. Stay safe. No trouble.", George said.

"Dad I get it. Tell Smarti I'll miss her and love her.", he laughed.

"Okay well have fun. I'm staying with the rest of the family. Bye!", George waved as they all walked out the door. Casey crawled into the back seat as Derek took a seat on the other side of her. Casey placed her hand in the middle of them as she rested her head against the window. Derek smirked as he placed his hand in the middle as well and slowly crept towards Casey's hand. He placed his hand on top of her hand. Casey gave Derek a questioning look before turning back to the window. He begin to massage Casey's hand as he watched her silently giggle. He smiled as he stared out his window.

Nora looked into the mirror. She saw Derek's smile and Casey's giggles. She looked down and saw their hands. She smiled as she shook her head. She knew Derek and Casey had something for each other. It was obvilsous. As much as they hated to admit it they had wonderful chemistry and anyone could see that.

Derek sighed as the minivan finally came to a stop. Casey and him quickly seperated their hands as they got out of the velchile. Derek walked to the back where Casey met him as they waited for Nora. Casey smiled as her mom embraced her with a hug,

"I love you so much. Honey please call. I'm going to miss you.", she sighed. Her baby girl was growing up. Seems like yesterday she learned how to ride a bike.

"I love you too, mom. And don't worry I will. And please don't make me cry. I will miss everyone. Including Derek.", Casey laughed. Nora smiled as she moved to Derek.

"Derek I will miss you just as much. Please be good.", she smiled as she hugged him as well. With all this hugging Derek would soon become a huge sap. Nora released him as she turned to Casey.

"Here's the money for the tickets. Just go to the front window. They're under my name. Okay you two. Have fun, be good, stay safe, and call.", Nora waved as the minivan drove off. Casey sighed as Derek picked up their bags. They started on their journey towards the large airport.

Casey walked over to the front desk as Derek took a seat in the waiting area. Two girls flashed him a smile and waved but he was too tired to worry about girls. That's right. Derek Venturi was too tired to worry about girls. What a shocker. Casey took a seat next to Derek as she handed him his ticket.

"You know Case. I never thought this day would come.", he sighed as he looked around the airport.

"Me neither.", Casey confessed. Derek looked at her. She looked amazing, The sun was beginning to come up making her face look even more beautiful than it already is and boy was it driving him Crazy. Casey looked into Derek's eyes. There was a look she never seen in them. So happy.

Derek couldn't stop himself. In the next second he crashed his lips against Casey's causing her eyes to flutter close. Instead of pushing away Casey kissed back with just as much force. Derek felt everything around him stop. This kiss was like no other. He never felt this way with any other girl. Derek licked Casey's bottom lip begging for entrance. She happily allowed it as they begin their tounge war. Casey broke the kiss due to lack of oxygen.

"Did we?", she asked out of breath.

"Uh huh.", Derek nodded.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.", Casey whispered to herself.

"Case, it's okay.", Derek said as he tried to embrace her in a hug but was pushed away instead.

"No Derek it's not okay. What happens when people find out. And what makes it even worser is the fact that we can never be together,", Casey sighed. Derek tried to hug her again and succeed.

"You're wrong. We can and we will.", Derek smiled.

"I'll talk to you later. That's my flight. Bye Derek.", Casey waved.

"Case wait.", Derek called. Casey stopped as she held onto her bags. Derek came up to her and gave her a quick peck on the lips before allowing her to leave. He waved to Casey as she looked one last time at Derek before heading out of view. Derek sat in his seat and sighed. Maybe Casey would want to be something. He never knew with her, but then again that was one of the things about her that attracted him to her. He shrugged it off as he heard his flight number being called out. He walked away. This summer would change a lot of things, and he had an idea on what those things were.
