The Continuation…

"What?" Derek asked. 'I'm talking to an insane guy' he thought.

"I'll give you your chance. Spend every minute with her."

"And this is possible..how?"

"That. You don't need to know. You just have to believe on me. Trust me." The man said.

Derek didn't want to believe the man. But then, this maybe just another dream. If it's a dream, why can't he just go along with it? Maybe it's not a dream. Maybe he's really turning crazy. Talking to man he knows nothing about.

" Okay.." Derek said fooling the man as if he believed him. He gave him a thumbs up and patted the man on his shoulders. " Maybe you need help" Derek gave him the eye contact as if telling him what he really meant.

"I'm not kidding around with you, Derek Venturi!" The man screamed.

Derek, surprised by the voice level of the man, grew more curiously. How could he know so much about him or his problems?

" I am just trying to help you and if you don't want it, then I must leave" The man turned around and started to walk away.

"Wait!" Derek shouted. The man stopped and faced Derek again. " Tell me how."

The man gave a slight smile. He took out a watch from his pocket and showed it to Derek. It was silver with blue speckles on it. There was something special about this watch though. It doesn't move as if it's out of battery and there was only one hand. Derek took a closer look on the watch. "What is it?"

" This, Derek, is a watch." The man answered.

"Yeah I know that! It's a watch. Why are you showing me this watch?" Derek pointed out on the silver watch.

" Oh but Derek, It's not an ordinary watch. A watch that will send you back to the past."

"How?"

" Every ticking of this watch will determine the time you have left."

"What do you mean 'the time I have left'?" Derek asked.

" The time you have left until Casey dies" The man saying his last words softly. Derek still couldn't believe all this. He wasn't smart and all, but this he know is impossible. Yet, maybe it is. " Take it or leave it"

"You mean I'll still lose her?"

The man didn't answer meaning "yes". The man saw the sadness in Derek's eyes. What can he do? He's only doing his job. "I'm sorry but I'm just giving you a chance just like everyone else. Everyone needs a second chance right?"

Derek nodded his head. He needed this chance. The chance to be with Casey, but he didn't want to experience losing her again. He didn't want to see her die again. All the pain that he had to go through, but if it means being with her, "I'll take the chance"

The man smiled and gave Derek the watch. Derek looked on it again and examined it. The man was right. It was special. A watch he had never seen before.

" Don't waste your time Derek. This things only comes once and you should cherish it's every moment. Remember, destiny is destiny. You can never change anything." The man slowly fading away. " Good luck Derek"

"Wait!" Derek yelled before the man completely disppeared. "What's your name?!"

"Just call me 'Guy'" The man answered
disappearing completely.

'Guy' Derek thought before everything faded into complete darkness.

…………………………

"Smerek! Wake up!" Marti jumped all over Derek trying to wake him up. He wouldn't budge though. "Smerek!"

Finally, seeing his sister on top of him he said "Marti?"

"It's Smarti!"

"Smarti" Actually forgetting that he called her that ever since she was a baby. She got used to it eventually. "What? What are you doing here?" Everything wasn't clear to him. He felt as if he have a hangover. Pain struck him in his head as he slowly stood up from his bed.

" It's time for breakfast!" Marti happily answered.

Derek, now getting off his bed, was completely confused. He didn't know why though. 'uggh..I don't feel very well..and what's going on? Why am I thinking I forgot something?' He thought. Marti dragged him out his room, bumping to none other than his step-sister, Casey.

"Watch it Derek!" Casey shrieked when Derek had just stepped on her foot.

"Casey?"

"Yeah that's my name! Sometimes you're just completely idiotic!" Casey stormed down the stairs. Derek didn't know why he had a feeling Casey wasn't suppose to be there. 'A strange feeling' he thought. Marti ran downstairs and Derek followed her. Marti got to her usual spot while Derek was still puzzled. He can't explain it. He just knew there was something he should be knowing.

"Derek are you okay?" George asked when he saw Derek gazing off nowhere. He had the newspaper in his hand and a coffee on the other.

"What?" Coming back into reality.

"His just his usual self." Casey said giving Derek a smirk.

"I'm fine. I just…never mind" He sat down next to Edwin who was almost finished with his eggs. Derek gave his family one more look. 'I feel like I've been here' He thought. Nora came, holding a plate with more eggs. When she didn't see a puddle of milk on the floor, she slipped and dropped the eggs on George's head. Everyone laughed including Casey except Derek who thought he knew that was coming. He then saw flashbacks in his head just like the egg situation. When Nora had slipped and dropped the eggs. Everyone laughed inluding him. Just after that, Edwin fell from his chair from laughing. 'No this is impossible. Edwin didn't fall so that means I didn't know that was coming' He thought.

"Edwin!" Nora screamed when Edwin flipped over his chair and fell. He was all red from laughing and seemed like he was about to thow up. Derek, completely surprised and more confused, gasped. He was right.

" Derek, you're not laughing" Casey saying curiously thinking how Derek wasn't himself. By now, Derek would be laughing hysterically. Derek didn't hear Casey though, he was completely focused by himself.

"Derek" Casey repeated.

"What?" Derek finally answering.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

" No I'm…Actually yes" Derek stood up and walked upstairs back to his room. He left everyone confused by his new actions. When he got to his room, he shut his door and jumped down on his bed. By now, his headache was almost gone but his thoughts wouldn't stop bothering him.

"Okay..I am not crazy" Derek said turning on his back. He was receiving flashbacks on his heads like the one that just happened a while ago. How did he know that was coming? How did he know Edwin will flip over his chair? It's not like he's been there already. Or did he? Everything was so unclear to him. Why did he have the feeling that Casey wasn't suppose to be here? Like she was gone already? And why was he having some strange feelings on Casey?When he liked how she was asking him questions earlier. So many things were running through his head. Maybe its just one of those dreams he always have and everything were all part of it.

"Guy!" He suddenly shouted. He knew there was something special about it. The word just popped out of his head. Guy? He just can't remember. What was so remarkable with that name? Why did he feel like he've been here, this time, this place? Well, whatever the reason was he needed to go downstairs for school. Just when he was about to leave, he saw a watch on his side table that was so familiar to him. It was a special watch, although it was ticking very slow like it really wasn't. 'Maybe it needs a battery' He thought. He put it on his wrist and left for school.

……………………………….

"Hey" Sam greeted walking towards Derek while he was putting his backpack in his locker.

"Hey" Derek said back.

"Okay, I have something to tell you." Sam preparing himself for his surprise.

"That Kelsi talked to you on the phone and asked you out last night" Derek said suddenly.

"How did you know that?" Sam asked when Derek spoiled it. Even Derek was surprised with his words. It's as if he knew what Sam was about to say. Like this was all happening…before.

"Holy Cow!" Derek whispered under his breathe. At that moment, he understood it all. From the kiss to Sally's Burgers. And Guy! The watch he was wearing! He looked at the watch. 'It's not broken! I've really been here. And Casey! Casey...' He knew it. Casey. She was going to…die. He finally remembers but now
it's also hurting. He turned to Sam who was more confused than him.

"What day is it today?" He asked.

" It's Friday."

"Friday what?"

" Friday, May 15"

Casey…
