Derek POV

I wake up to the smell of Casey's hair. What am I doing in Casey's room? Then I remember what happened. I look over at the clock thinking that it is Saturday and that today I would be giving a piece of my mind, and maybe my fist, to Sam. But the clock says 11 P.M. and it's dark out. I look over at the door and standing there is Lizzie. She's just staring at us.

"What are you doing? Why are you in Casey's room?" Lizzie asks.

I don't know what to say at first because I'm only half awake. " Well, me and Casey were laying in here and I guess we fell asleep" I told her.

She looks at me with a questioning look and then my dad walks in. "What's going on in here?" He asks.

"Me and Casey must have fallen asleep."

"Well, go back to your room and sleep. It's getting late." My dad tells me and then walks out of the room. I get out of the bed quietly, as to not wake up Casey. I go into my own room, lay down, and fall asleep within five minutes.

The next day I wake up around 8 A.M. This is definitely weird for me because usually I wake up at one at the earliest. I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen for breakfast. When I get in there, Edwin is sitting there eating his breakfast, when he looks up and stares at me and then finally breaks the silence, "Why are you up this early? And why were you and Casey sleeping next to each other? You guys hate each other."

"Well, Edwin I am up this early because I felt like it and I was sleeping next to Casey because we just fell asleep next to each other." I told him. I give him a glare that tells him to shut up and not ask any more questions. He leaves the room and I sit down to eat my breakfast.

About 15 minutes later, Casey walks into the room. I look up at her and see that she doesn't look very good. Then, Nora steps into the room before I can say anything to Casey. Nora looks at Casey and says, "Honey, you don't look very good. How do you feel?"

"Mom, I'm fine don't worry. I'm just tired, that's all." She tells Nora.

"OK, if you're sure. So what are you guys up to today?" Nora asks us.

"Well, mom I figured I would go to the library." Casey says. Nora looks at me.

"Um, well I'm going out for the day." I tell her. Though, today I will be going to Sam's to give him a piece of something. We finish breakfast and then I leave to go make a little visit to Sam.

I go up to the door and Sam answers it. "Hey what's up, D?" All I do is stand there and glare at him. "Is something wrong, man?"

"You know what's wrong!" I scream at him.

"What?"

"You cheated on her you asswhole!" He looks down now that he knows I know what he did. "How could you do that to her?" I glare at him.

"Look, dude, you know Casey she's safe. I wanted someone more exciting. And, why do you care? You're always picking on her and making her feel like dirt. So why would you care if I cheated on her when you hurt her everyday?" I just stare at him some more.

"This is different. I am not her boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her. She came home yesterday and cried the whole night. And yeah, I mean in the past I haven't treated her the best, but she knows that I wouldn't hurt her as much as you did." He doesn't say a word, all he does is look at the ground. I have the hugest urge to just kill him. "No one hurts anyone in my family, even if its Casey."

He scoffs and I throw my fist at him. It hits him smack dab in his eye. He comes back with his fist hitting me. We start fighting and punching. Then I hear a familiar voice call my name. I look over and see Casey and Emily walking over towards us.

"What are you guys doing? Oh my gosh, Derek, are you ok?" She asks as she looks at my face.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it, Case." I tell her.

"Casey, I think we need to-" Sam starts, but Casey cuts him off.

"NO, Sam we have nothing to talk about. I saw you with that bimbo. I can't believe you would do this to me. I trusted you. We have nothing to talk about. We're over" And she walks away.

"Yeah, just leave her alone. Actually, how about you just leave both of us alone." I say and then follow Emily and Casey.

"Hey, Case, you alright?" I ask her. I can see the tears in her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She says, although I can tell she's lying.

"Hey, um, Emily would you mind if I could talk to Casey alone?"

"Ah, yeah sure Derek. Anything for you. I mean, uhm, yeah sure. Call me tonight, Casey. Bye"

"Bye, Em" Casey replies.

After Emily walks away, me and Casey stand there. I'm staring at her and she's looking at the ground.

"Hey, Case. You alright?" No response. "Come here" I reach out and pull her into a hug. "Casey, it's alright. Just forget about him. He's nothing. Cheating on you like that, he's scum."

"Thanks, Derek. I don't know what I would do without you."

"No problem. I'm always here. And you would die without me." I say to lighten the mood. She chuckles slightly. We pull apart. "So you're OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. So, what should we do next?"

"Do you want to go home or we can go out and do something?"

"Um, you mean you want to like actually hang out with me?" She asks me.

"Of course. What do you say we go to the movies?"

"Ok, that sounds cool. Let's go" And we walk to the movies together.
