Chapter Four: Secret Couples

"Casey! Derek!"

Casey and Derek quickly broke apart and stared at each other and then back at the people in front of them. This wasn't good. Not good at all.

"Hey Em. Back from the Bahamas so quickly. He He.", Casey laughed nervously. Hopefully Emily hadn't seen anything.

"Hey Sammy boy.", Derek smiled nervously at his best friend. Well if he still was his best friend. Casey and Sam had dated off and on for about four months. Derek remembered the nights that Casey would come home crying because Sam dumped her. Well the last one was Casey decision. She had said she wasn't in love but still wanted to be friends with Sam. Sam agreed even though he still cared for Casey very much.

Emily stared at Derek and then Casey. Her best friend had just been making out with her crush for the longest time, who happened to be her best friend's step brother! She knew that cared about each other, but never thought they'd admitt it to each other. The only reason she never took a chance on Derek. She knew Casey and him were in love. It was a matter of time before they showed it to each other.

Sam stared at Derek. His best friend was just making out with Casey his ex-girlfriend who was Derek's step sister. The only reason he ever went out with Casey was because she seemed like a nice girl and he wanted to make Derek jealous so he would finally confess his feelings to her. But Derek being Derek put up with it. Although Sam could tell he hated it.

"What was going on?", Sam asked as he pointed to Casey and Derek. Something was up and he was going to find out.

"Casey had a big bug on her lips and I was killing it. With my lips...", Derek lied as he glanced at Casey.

"Well from the looks of it I think you two were shoving each other's tongues down each other's throat. And technically I'm glad for you. Besides I am so over Derek. I have a new boyfriend.", Emily smiled at a grinning Casey.

"Who is it?", she squealed. Emily wasn't mad, she was glad for them.

"First you two have to tell me all the details.", she smirked. Derek nodded as he wrapped an arm around Casey's waist, pulling her closer.

"Well it started on the day that we were leaving. I kissed Casey and told her I didn't care what people thought. Yada yada. Well I told her I loved her and she flew all the way to Tokyo to tell me she loved me. And we stayed together for two months and been happy ever since.", he grinned happily.

"Congrats man.", Sam smiled as he shook Derek's hand and gave Casey a hug. He was glad. They made a cute couple and opposites do attract, after all.

"Now who is this new boyfriend and when do I meet him?", Casey giggled to her best friend.

"Well you already met him. He's standing next to me.", she confessed, causing both Derek and Casey's jaws to drop to the ground.

"Oh my god. I am so happy for you!", Casey screamed as she hugged Emily and Sam. Emily had finally let go of Derek and found someone new. A sweet and charming young man that would make her happy.

"Well see you two around. My mom's here.", Emily and Sam waved as they walked towards a green Trail Blazer. Casey turned towards Derek. For a minute there she thought they were busted. Luckily it was Emily and Sam.

Casey's thoughts we interrupted as she heard a horn in the front of her. She looked to she her mom not even bothering to get out and hug her. Casey looked at Derek as she did her best to help him with the bags. Derek slammed the trunk shut as he shrugged towards Casey before climbing in. Something was eating Nora's goat, and it didn't seem so good.

"Hey mom!", Casey grinned as she climbed in. She waited for her mother to answer her with her usual grin and hug.

"Hey.", she replied. Casey looked at Derek and then at her mom.

"Is something wrong, Nora? Because you're treating up like I treat Casey.", Derek frowned. Maybe she knew about Casey staying with him in Tokyo. Maybe she knew about them being together.

"Hmph.", Nora nodded. She didn't want to talk to them now. She didn't want to see them. They'd broken so many rules. First Casey flew to Tokyo. Second they stayed together for two months. Third they are dating when they are step siblings. It was just so wrong.

The drive home was everything but lively. Every time Casey would try to talk to her mother she would block her out. She sighed as she placed her head against the window. Her mom was mad at something, but what? Could it be Lizzie or Edwin? Maybe even George or Marti. Was it the money they'd spent over their vacation. All of sudden it all came clear to Casey. The money! It had been more than thirty days and that must have meant that they'd got the money. Which meant her family knew she went to Tokyo.

Casey closed her eyes as she breathed in an out. Her mother knew and was upset with her. It was her worst nightmare coming true. What if her whole family was angry with her? What would she do? What could she do? Nora climbed out of the minivan and stormed off angrily into the house.

"Derek everyone knows! The money from my hotel must have been sent here!", Casey shouted in panic as she begin to feel the tears burn her eyes.

"Well then let's tell them tonight? What's the worst they could do?", he shrugged as he carried two bags to the front door. He went back for the last two and set them down as he waited fo Casey at the doorway. She slowly crawled out of the minivan and walked over to Derek.

"Ready?", he asked. He embraced Casey's hand to give her some confront. The truth was he had no idea what to do. Nora would hurt Casey so much he would hurting Nora with his fist and words.

"Ready.", she sighed as she squeezed his hand. Derek turned the door knob to reveal his dad and Nora sitting on the couch, waiting for them. Casey gulped as she heard the rain beginning to pour down from the skies. Usually whenever it rained something bad was going to happen. At least that's what she thought.

"Sit down.", Nora ordered as she pointed to the two chairs across from her. Derek took the one on the right while Casey took the left one.

"Derek, Casey. Nora and I was just wondering if there could be anything going on between the two of you that would cause Casey to fly all the way to Tokyo and stay there for two months.", George smiled. He could careless if they hooked up. As a matter of fact he would be happy for them.

Derek stood up. He was sick of people treating them like they were two years old." You know what? Yeah we are in love and we plan to stay that way. And I will not let you do anything that could break us up. Because if you were really our parents you would be happy for us and let us be!"

Nora looked at Derek and Casey. "Well hello you're step siblings!" This time Casey was feed up. She stood up and pointed her pointing finger at her mother as she shouted.

"The only reason we ever met was because of you! And if you don't want us to be kick me out! I will be happy with Derek and you can't stop me, mom!", she shouted. Her mom was not understanding her. She was begin so rude and stupid, Casey was done with it.

"Get out.", Nora said quietly.

"Nora-", George started.

"GET OUT!", she shouted at Casey.

"Fine. I love you Derek.", Casey sighed as she ran up and crashed her lips against Derek's. He gladly responded to the kiss and deepened it. Casey broke it to look at her mother.

"You know mom. I thought you would understand, but you don't. Tell Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti I love them a will miss them. And I love you too George. I will miss you. You're the only real parent I ever had.", she smirked at her mom. She was a changed girl. No longer afraid to be dangerous and take a walk on the wide side. She would let everyone meet the new Casey. If she couldn't be with Derek she might as well be locked up in jail.

"Casey, wait. You're not going alone. I coming with you.", Derek smiled as he grabbed his leather jacket. He smirked as he stuck his middle finger at Nora before slamming the door shut. It was the beginning of World War Three. Nora would see what he was capable of. He was not leaving Casey.
