(Casey's point of view)

Sam jumped off of me and looked at the guy standing in the doorway. I recognized him as one of Derek's friends from school.

"What do you want Chris?!" Sam yelled.

"I came to see Casey, but it looks like you got to her first." He said looking at me.

"Chris its not what you think." I said lying.

"Sam I think you should go." Chris said.

"No." Sam said not budging.

Chris walked to the phone and picked it up.

"Either you leave or I call the police." He said in a tough voice. Which was funny since he was a big wimp.

Sam got up but not before glaring at me in a "were not finished" look. I shivered as he walked away. As I got up and sat on the couch, I was a little nervous when Chris sat next to me.

"Wow Casey, a guilty man trying to kill you but a innocent man in jail. Shocking." Chris said sarcastically.

"What?"

"I know Derek didn't hurt you." Chris said looking at me.

"How do you know he wouldn't hurt me?"

"Because he loves you." Chris said seriously.

(Derek's point of view)

"You have a visitor" The guard said as he opened my jail cell.

I sighed. Who could it be? God I hope it isn't Casey. I really can't look at her right now. I walked into the room and was relieved to see my dad. My releved feeling dissaperd when I saw his dissaproving face.

"Hi dad." I said sitting across from him.

"Derek."

We stared at each other for a few seconds before I spoke,

"Look dad I didn't hurt Casey."

"Oh really, and why is that supposed to make me believe you?"

"Because I wouldn't hurt her like that. I care about her."

Dad stared at me before he stood up and went to walk out of the room.

"Dad wait please."

He stopped and turned to face me. I stood up and walked over.

"What Derek. What could you possibly say that would make me not want to wring your neck?" He said raising his voice.

"Please Dad. You have to believe me. Bail me out. Casey will tell you when we get home that she lied. Please I don't want to be here anymore. I hate it here."

"So? Jail isn't supposed to be disneyland."

"But I didn't do anything to deserve this. I am innocent."

"NO YOUR NOT. YOUR LIEING!!" My dad yelled right as his phone rang.

"Hello?…..what?!?….Again? ….Who?….Ok I will be there as soon as I can Casey."

My dad hung up and looked at me in a way I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"What happened?"

"Sam tried to beat Casey up…again"

"When?"

"A while ago after we left to come here. I guess you were right. You are inoccent. Casey told me she did lie."

I rolled my eyes in a sarcastic tone. My dad sweet talked the jail holder (A\N I'm sorry I don't know who is in charge)into letting me go. We paid bail and I was free.

We drove home and as I walked in the door I saw Casey and Chris sitting on the couch.

"What are you doing here Chris?"

"I saved your sis from getting hurt again. Though I should be going."

Chris left and I walked up to my room and fell onto my bed.

(Casey's point of view)

I hated seeing Derek. I mean don't get me wrong I was glad he was home. I just hated him being angry at me. I decided to go up to his room and apoligize. The steps seemed to take forever to get up to his room. I slowly knocked and he opened it but didn't look me in the eye.

"Look Derek. I know you hate me but I am truly sorry."

Derek moved aside but still didn't look at me.

I walked in and sat on his bed. He stood by the door.

(Derek's point of view)

I wanted to just hug Casey but I had to stand my ground. I couldn't look her in the eye because I was afraid of her seeing my vulnerability.

"I did a very bad thing by lieing but you have to understand. Sam was going to hurt me if I told anyone."After I said that I knew how incredibly stupid that sounded.

"Oh." Derek said.

"I need you Derek."

For the first time I looked her in the eyes. She was looking back at me as she stood up and walked up to me.

"I need you to protect me Derek." She said looking into my eyes with love.

"I need you to love me Casey." I didn't even know why I said that it just sort of slipped out.

" I already do." She said before kissing me passionatly.

A\N That last part made me shiver for some reason. I was getting goosebumps just writing it. Lol. I know the whole Jail think probably would never actually happen (him getting out so easily) but I didn't know how to get him out and I am to impatient to make him go through trial.
