SiscoKid: Hm..It always feels wierd to end a fic. I don't really know why. So anyways enoughwith my babbling for now. EDIT, Oh and yes I had originally made a mistake on the family names in this chapter. But I was corrected. Three times..

IloveJoeL.: I would of updated sooner but instead I began a new story and began to concentrate on that more.

catcrazy247: Yes I will eventually learn to stop writing then editing my stories around three in the morning. It would also help if I started paying more attention in English. Ohwell.

n1c0le: Yes I like longer chapters too. I'm not quite sure why I made the first two chapters so short.

CiceroGuided: Then my friend you would have the most awesome s/n on FFN. Oh and no I have never seen Top gun. I may watch if my summer stays this freaken boring.

IrIsH-cHiCk213: Lucky for you I didn't end it with chapter 3.

BalletBeauty64: I love this story too. Isn't that so cool!

tommys21: Yeah I tend to do the sad thing really well. I'm trying to get out of that rut though.

At school the next day it had been hard for Casey to concentrate on anything. Work, friends, SAM! Now she was beginning to understand why Derek decided to just stay home.

All because of one kiss. The kiss, that kiss that plagued her mind and replayed over and over again through lectures and conversations. In fact there it was right now playing for the hundredth time as Sam was talking to her.

"Uh Casey. Are you even listening to me?" Sam asked, staring intently at his girlfriend.

She stared back at him with no idea what he just said. For her mind had just returned from a year round space trip.

"Huh?" She finally got out after a few minutes as she stared at him with a face contorted with confusion.

"Casey." He said softly putting his hand on her shoulder.

"You've been doing this all day. Why don't you listen to me?" He asked giving her a little shake.

Casey said nothing for a while as she contemplated her answer.

'Should I tell him of my betrayal or simply tell him something he wants to hear?' Casey questioned herself.

"I just stayed up late working hard on a project. By the time I was finished it was only an hour before dusk." Casey explained lying to her boyfriend.

He instantly pulled her into a hug.

"Why didn't you just come to school late. It wouldn't hurt your grades any." Sam told her.

'Why doesn't this feel right. This is suppose to feel right. This is suppose to make everything better. Why didn't it work this time?' Casey asked herself even though the answer kept playing in her head over and over again.

Derek sat in his room at his computer. He was reading the comments left by the latest video he had posted online. He had named it The Carpet and really that's all it was. Two hour of pure carpet action exploding in your face.

All the comments left on his site were mostly the same. Most just dismissed it as the filming geniuses first screw up while other thought they saw through the obvious bore fest and uncovered a hidden meaning in the movie. But they were all wrong.

This was all a result of Derek Venturi being depressed for the first time in his life. You see Derek is never depressed because Derek gets everything he wants. Nothing was ever out of reach or boundaries to Derek. Anything he wanted was as good as his. At least this all proved true until one fateful night………………………..

Last night.

No matter how many times the kiss played in her head Casey couldn't find out what made that kiss so significant.

'It was a mere kiss that he deepened for his own selfish needs.'

'But why did I like it.'

'It was just confusion. He is a good kisser, you just thought that you liked it.'

"But it felt so right." Casey said out loud with out noticing.

"What felt so right?" Her best friend asked from beside her at her own locker.

Casey looked at Emily more than a little flustered.

"Oh I was just thinking of Derek. That's all." Casey said without thinking.

It took Emily a little to respond for he friend still didn't realize her slip up.

"You do realize what you just told me right." Emily asked with a look of shock on her face.

Casey saw nothing wrong with what she had said and just looked at her friend in confusion.

"Yeah, I just said I was thinking about Sam. What about it?" Casey asked.

"No...no you didn't." Emily said while shaking her head.

"Then what?"

"You said you were thinking about Derek…..AFTER saying something felt so right." Emily explained to her friend.

Casey's eyes got wide as she realized what she had done.

Casey immediately grabbed her friend by the arm and dragged her to a desolated old hallway.

"Emily can I trust you to never to tell a soul the information I going burden upon you?" Casey asked in a panicked manner.

Derek and his dad sat at the dinning room table. Marti was off at preschool.

Mr. Venturi was reading a newspaper while Derek busied himself with a bowl of cereal.

Mr. Venturi put down his newspaper then stared at his son for a minute before asking.

"Derek. Why are you here?"

"What do you mean. I stay home from school lot." Derek said with a upraised eyebrow.

"No you don't stay home. You skip. Never before have you came up to my room and told me you would be staying home for the day." His dad exclaimed.

Derek shrugged and went back to devouring a bowl of cereal. His dad did the same as he picked his newspaper back up.

"Even though you told me you would be staying home, I never imagined you would actually stay home." Mr.Venturi told him from behind his newspaper.

"Hmm." Derek replied.

The rest of their exchange was rather silent until Derek finished his cereal.

"Hey dad."

"Yes." He answered, seeming to want conversation.

"We need more milk." Derek pointed out before leaving the dining room.

"Oh." His dad mumbled disappointed.

Once Derek made it into his room he dove to the ground and reached under his bed for his rollerblades. His dad had given him an idea.

'I'm not going to get her off my mind just sitting around the house.'

He put some socks on then went outside to put his skates on. Then he was off.

"So what are you going to do?" Emily asked. She had already been pass the shocked stage a few minutes ago.

"I don't know." Casey said simply.

"Well lets see, your losing feeling for Sam while gaining them for Derek. Doesn't that feel just a little weird?" Emily said ending with a question.

"Very much so." Casey replied.

"So this brings us back to my original question."

"What?"

"So what are you going to do about it?" Emily asked.

Casey remained silent.

"Listen I would try and help you but this is a little too weird for me." Emily said.

"Well imagine how I feel. I'm falling for a complete jerk, who makes my blood boil." Casey exclaimed a little to loudly.

"Really now and would that jerk be Derek." Asked a voice sternly. Emily looked behind Casey with wide eyes. Casey turned around to see none other then Sam glaring right at her.

"Sam." Casey said quietly.

"Why didn't you talk to me about this." Sam asked.

"How could I talk to you about this." Casey countered.

Emily walked away, feeling more than a little out of place.

"It would have been better than finding out this way."

"You weren't suppose to find out this way."

"Well I did so I guess it is over with us. I won't be selfish and try and fight over you with Derek."

"Look I'm sorr-" Casey started but was cut off by Sam.

"No don't apologize. I started this by going out with you in the first place. Even though I sort a knew he like you." Sam explained

"How did you figure that?" Casey asked curious.

Derek would never of made suck a big deal about me going out with his stepsister. There had to of been a deeper meaning." Sam told her.

Not much was said after that. They hugged then they went their separate ways.

Derek finally took a break from skating after a good two hours. He looked up to see where he was at.

'Hmp! Some how even though I'm trying to get her out of my head, I end up going to the exact place she would be at.' Derek thought to himself as he caught his breath.

'Didn't know I had been riding so long. Its taking longer than usual to catch my breath.'

Derek stood there for a little while longer and before he finally got his breath back. Then he slowly began to ride away.

"Derek?"

Hearing his name he turned around to see none other than Casey standing only a few feet away from him.

"Your late! School ended a good hour ago." Casey told him.

Derek paused before coming up with a comeback. "Seeing that I have my rollerblades on I must have been going to school."

They both stared at each other in a awkward silence.

"Listen Derek we need to talk!" Casey finally said.

"We did that last night. That made things worse." Derek retorted.

"Were going to talk about last night." Casey explained.

"What's there to be said. What happens, happens and for the first time it wasn't in my favor." Derek said simply.

"What would make you think that?" Casey asked with a smile.

"What?" Derek asked back.

"You know me and Sam broke up today." Casey pointed out with an even bigger smile.

"Why would you two do that?" Derek asked stunned as his stepsister began to walk closer to him.

"Let me explain." She whispered before pulling him into their second kiss. It didn't take Derek long to respond as he kissed her back. After a few moments Casey began to lean her weigh onto him. Unfortunate for them she forgot he had on rollerblades. So they both tumbled to the ground. Casey rolled off the top of him as they both laid on the ground breathing a little hard.

"What made you change your mind from last night?" Derek asked rather curious.

"I really don't know. Maybe it's just because you're a good kisser." Casey joked.

"Oh really now" Derek said before pulling her into another kiss.

After they were done kissing they remained on the ground for quiet some time. Not sure of where to take their relationship. Whether to tell their parents or not. Wondering how the school would respond to two stepsibling kissing in front of the school. But none of that truly mattered to Casey. Especially not Derek because he had gotten what he wanted.

SiscoKid: Finally done. Well anyways I hope you guys like the ending because I did. Anyways I probably won't do another life with Derek fic for a while. I got too many other fic I'm working on for the moment. But there will be another one, I already have a idea for a oneshot at the moment but it would have to wait until the holidays. Though i may do another one this summer just for the heck of it. Well Thanks for reading and for all the nice reviews.
