Chapter Four: You're All I Ever Needed
Casey walked back in the room moments later; she was with Lily's mother. They walked over to Lily and asked her.
"What happened?" Doctor Melyard asked her daughter.
Lily looked at her mother then at Casey and said to her.
"Casey, Can you excuse me and my mother for a second?"
Casey shook her head in responds as she left Lily with her mother.
After the door closed Lily turned to her mother and said.
"Mom, Derek hit the alert button on the side of the bed."
She said as her mother looked at her surprised, her mother looked at the side of the bed where Derek's hand was placed.
"This is unreal if you ask Me." her mother said as she walked over to look at Derek's body readings.
"All his readings are clear….It reads that he is awake." Lily said as her mother turned around.
'Lily, can you tell Casey to run home and get some of Derek's belongings from home please?" She said as she was beginning to walk out the room.
Lily followed her mother out of the room as she approached Casey; who was sitting in the waiting room.
"Hey Casey." She said as Casey got out of her sit.
"Hey, what's new?" she asked as Lily looked at her.
"Nothing much, but I was asked if you can go get some of Derek's belongings." Lily said looking at Casey as Casey reached for the keys out of her purse.
"Yeah, I'll be back in a little." She said as she walked over to the elevator.
The elevator door opened and she entered the it. She pushed L for lobby; she took a deep breath and leaned against the wall as she thought about what would ever happen with her and Derek. She couldn't believe all this was happening.
Her thought were interrupted by the elevator doors opening. She walked out the elevator to the hospital entrance as she walked to her car.
"Gosh Casey, how could you let this happen?" she said to herself as she started her car up.
Her drive home was pretty quiet, the roads were clear so she got there quick. She turned the car off as she looked at the house. She had forgotten to leave the light on outside when she left.
She took a deep breath before entering the house. She flicked the light switch to the living room on as she entered. The house was so quiet and to Casey it was just too weird. She would have loved to just get in a random fight with Derek, or have Marti say she doesn't have socks on.
Apart of her felt that dirtiness come back when Jake touched her, another part of her wanted to be in Derek's arm like she was that night. She could remember it like nothing. He was just so nice to her, that when she fell for him so to say.
She looked up the stairs as she began to walk up them. Once she got to the top she made a left down the hall, past her room to Derek's room. She would have knocked but it would have been no use. She walked into his messy room as took in the air of his room……
………It smelled just like him.
She tried to hold her tears back but they forced themselves out.
She sat on his bed and starred at the computer screen watching a pop-up bring his computer to its desktop. She slowly walked over to his computer as she sat in his chair.
She could still remember when Derek had the chickenpox. It was right after her meeting with the principal. She had walked into his room and watched him at the computer. He looked up at her and asked.
Flashback
"I had my meeting with the principal." Casey said as she looked at him.
"How is old wide-tie?" Derek asked her.
"Good, he sends his best. He even apologized for the confusion. Said Frank admitted that he was selling stuff during school hours and that I had nothing to do with it. And he gave me a new locker!" Casey smiled back in excitement.
"Really!" Derek looks at her like he didn't know what was going on.
"What did you do?" Casey said as she looks at Derek in complete confusion
"Nothing, I just mentioned to Frank that it might be in his best interest to take some heat off a certain individual." he said as he grinned back.
"And he agreed, just like that?" she said smiling.
"That and I gave him exclusive rights to Johnny." he said looking down.
"But Johnny's your cash cow!" She said shocked.
"Johnny's yesterday's news. I've got my eye on this new girl band in room 10."He said excitedly.
"I have to admit, I'm impressed. And thank you for helping me with my situation. You know, I can still help you a little. Of course, I can't sell directly, but I can do accounting, marketing –"She said proudly until she was interrupted.
"You know, you were a very loyal employee, but I'm afraid you're fired." He said flat out.
"Fired?"She questioned.
"Yeah, I don't need you anymore." he said somewhat harshly
"What, you beg me to help you, I do a great job, and then you fire me?" she said in a matter of fact way.
"Business is cruel, but not totally heartless."
He said as he handed her a brand new cell phone and pointed to the door.
End of Flashback
Casey laughed as she remembered what he did for her, it was the nicest thing he did for her since she moved in.
She looked down at the screen and came across a document on his computer which said "HB, Casey".She knew it would be wrong to open it, but Derek wouldn't know.
She was about to open it when her cell rang. She looked down at the number and said.
"What the hell?" she said as she flipped it open.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Casey…."he said.
"Who is this?" she said not sure if she could believe what she was hearing.
"How do you not know your own step-brother's voice Case?" he said
"Derek?" she said as a tear fall softly down her cheek.
